So I’ve started listening to the radio again after not for like 8-10 years I know dramatic but music holds so many memories good and bad and the bad was outweighing the good and it was just too painful. Then Covid hit and music became my saviour thanks to the Platinum Insta Crew set up by great people and friends of DJ Spoony and the crew of 10ish music minded peeps vibed on lives and the banter was hilarious. 5 years on and we’re still friends in the WhatsApp group. I digress… my point listening to the station again as I’ve healed and grown so loving Burna boy feat Omah Lay With You. The vibe is bringing summer and the lyrics undertone they wanna be with you is cute… but when I’m putting the words on my phone via Apple and we’re talking about double sweaters cos it’s cold and Fanta loved it even more 🤣 need to learn it that’s the task for this weekend. Also loving Gorgeous by Giggs. His voice is like dark velvet but dirty lol and that whole appreciation for a woman mid 40’s🙋🏾♀️ I’m feeling it. Then last but not least Like Home by Wtetch 32. Love the melody,the beat, the lyrical message really shows growth in his music and Teni brings the amazing vocals and then Wretch kills it with the rap 🙌🏾
I’ve been listening to some old Sango this week - love his beats and their use of classic R&B tracks. Sounds so good in the summer too. One from Da Rocinha 2 ⬇️
Thanks Reggie, keep it coming. On repeat is this ray of sunshine:
The Field - Blood Orange feat. The Durutti Column, Tariq Al-Sabir, Caroline Polachek, & Daniel Caesar
The brilliant Devonte Hynes just brought Vini Reilly (Durutti Column) back to us ❤️
Really nice choices! Come back weds for three more!!!
Not going to lie wave music been getting me through.
Make wave great again or M.W.G.A by Quincy Tellem - funny what helps you focus.
I’m writing atm and I’ve never listened to so much Coltrane… the brain is a funny place brother.
The Light by threetwenty has been on repeat for a few months now:

9 2 5 - Nourished by Time
Creamy Luther Vandross-like vocals over 808 drums with early 2000’s funky house keys. Lyrics encouraging you to question your 9 to 5.
I’m gonna be riding with this one all summer 🤘🏿😝🤘🏿.

First up it’s
Juls & Luedji Luna - Com Amor Bahia (perfect for this weather)
Little Simz - Lotus feat Michael Kiwanuka & Yussef Dayes (real big cheat code having those two on the same track)
Fat Boy Slim - Right here, right now (nostalgia got the better of me this week)
Juls production with a Brazilian influence is the perfect match
The Maverick Sabre song though wheewww 🥵
Madonna justify my love is getting me through
Wednesday is becoming my favorite day to run to the comments and the chat to see what everyone's listening to after the MM drop.
'You're a melody' got me up out of bed and dancing around with my 🐶 and ☕️ this morning!
This week, Baby Rose's first album- To Myself- has been in heavy rotation. https://open.spotify.com/album/2RKhRRDOU32gaoNRrQICbG?si=1NnYBX29Swqie6SodN7Ljg

If you haven’t heard it before you’ll definitely like Sango - Yu just because of the sample he uses
Told off or steered lol steered!
Bunda - Juls & Goldlink on repeat this week for me. Great song, whole EP is incredible.
You’re a Melody is incredible, not sure how I’ve never come across it before!
That EP is insane. Great shout.
George Michael praying for time, never ages and more relevant than ever!
BANGER.
