Ebony on Everything

Today, my friend asked me what I was passionate about. I truly couldn’t think of anything but music. I can’t imagine living without music. I can always find a song to suit any mood I’m in. I am so happy when I hear a new song and it hits a spot. I feel like I am doing a terrible job of describing something so amazing. I hope my playlists helps to get across what I can’t convey with words.

A Fool Getting Older – Full Crate featuring Luke Burr

I have not officially played this song out yet. It is one of those songs that you don’t play too many times on repeat, but every time it comes on, you have to listen to it. Luke Burr has such a distinct voice that you would recognize him on any song. I found him by way of Youtube shorts. He goes to nursing homes and sings for the seniors. That is so sweet of him 

Lil Mama – Trip Carter

I have no idea who Trip Carter is, I just know Spotify suggested this song to me and it has been on repeat. Lil Mama is a song I would love to hear with a live band. That intro with just the instruments and the Ooos let’s you know this song is going to be good. It is a fast-paced, jazzy song that I would dance to, if I could. The coordination and balance only allow for chair dancing.

Somebody – Keshi

This little dude is talking nasty and I like it 😊. Keshi’s sound is categorized as lo-fi hip hop, alternative, rnb, and pop. Seriously people, pick one. I would say lo-fi (a style of music that intentionally has imperfections and is often used as background music), describes it best. His sound is mellow and the songs just flow together well. Since I’ve listened to the whole album on repeat, I just picked a song. And why not a sexy one 😉.

Tell Me – Peter Collins

Not to be confused with Phil Collins 😆. I don’t remember exactly how I was introduced to Peter. Maybe Instagram. He has a song that is more popular than Tell Me called You Got This, which is so uplifting and beautiful. I just decided to highlight this repeat because this is how I feel. When my husband arrives, I’m going to play this song for him, Like dude, where the hell you been? I had the privilege of seeing Peter Collins at The City Winery in Atlanta. His voice is an instrument he plays well. There was a man that kept hollering out PETER! every time he did something amazing during the show. I don’t know how he didn’t laugh because everyone else was laughing.

Music is truly a universal language. It isn’t always the words you hear, it can be the melody. I listen to a lot of k-pop (Korean pop) and I can assure you, I don’t know anything that is said. But the music, melody, and dancing have you jamming along. Please let me know what songs you like and feel a connection to. Or feel free to suggest a song to me. Have a great weekend! And stay well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚

Happy Valentine’s Day 💗. This edition of my playlist isn’t necessarily suited to Valentine’s Day, but you will find at least one song that you love.

Poetry by Dead Men – Sara Bareilles

First off, I love me some Sara Bareilles and have played whole albums on repeat. I don’t remember when I discovered this song, but it had been out for a while. Another Covid song that didn’t get the love it should have. I have been where she is at in this song. I have dated someone for their potential. For who I thought they would become or who they said they were. Then you get to a point where it doesn’t matter anymore if it is you or it is them, you just have to go. And then Sara Bareilles writes a song about it and you play it on repeat.

Always – Victor Franco featuring Jacob Collier

I don’t know Victor Franco, but I know and love Jacob Collier. I actually had tickets to see him in concert one year. I didn’t make it because I was having car troubles. It broke my heart 💔. Honestly, I’m still not over the disappointment. This song does make me happy though. It is so good that I don’t want to listen to anything else from Victor Franco. I just know he doesn’t have another song to compare to this one 😆.

For Us – V

I am ashamed of myself for how excited I get when I listen to this song. I had to confess to my friend Shayla how I felt and of course, share this song with her. For one, I think V aka Taehyung is so beautiful and I have the biggest crush on him. For two, he is only in his twenties and I am sure my old lady crush is gross on so many levels. It is just something about his voice and the way he sings this song. The worse thing about this song, it is too short.

Stay – Full Crate featuring Shae Universe

So the first few times I heard this song, I thought they were both singing. Then I heard Shae Universe on another song and realized, she just has a very deep voice. This is a mellow ass song that is great for cruising down the highway. Full Crate will show up on my playlist a few more times. He finds the best artist to collaborate with.

As before, these songs will be included under Ebony’s Playlist in my Spotify profile, elsims27. Please let me know if there is a particular song from this playlist that speaks to you. And if you have a song on repeat, share it with me. I am always looking for new music. A couple of my lovely readers emailed me a few songs to check out. I was not disappointed. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
