Bossa Nova literally means ‘new flair’ or ‘new trend’ in Portuguese. It is a style that was created in the late 1950’s. It is basically a fusion of Samba and Jazz, using traditional Brazilian rhythms. Here I add a Bluesy Twist to it, hope it works! 
First, you'll hear a clean guitar sound, then introducing a more overdriven one, for the grand final  :)))

Simple Twist of Bossa

Simple Twist Of Bossa

Galaxies.
A new single by Jude with Lemonade.
Thanks to Lemonade for one of the best lyrics I've ever read, and for her voice! Here are the lyrics...

GALAXIES
are you dreaming tonight?

tossing and turning
in galaxies so bright
your star ships rotating in the light

the sun is so much brighter
out here

all the mirrors pointing
in the stratosphere

all the energy of stars
travel
they travel
they're shining here
tonight..

galaxies are spinning into each other
tonight

black holes kissing
black holes
spinning tunnels of light

is this what you’re dreaming tonight?

oh how I wish

oh how I wish the stars would come down

tell me how they started
this time around

every moment
we are twisting

I just want to know
what they’re twisting about….

is this what you’re dreaming about?

all this glowing dust
that shapes the void?

all these galaxies
all the stars we know nothing about
is this what you’re losing sleep over?

all the places we will never see
all the space
all the stars..

they’re glowing…nothing you see is here
a thousand years ago
you should go to sleep....
they’re just memories you know

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

I’ll give you a minute
Then maybe an hour
But I don’t like the look of you
Or your ivory tower
Are you a candidate?
You don’t smell of the street
The pavement don’t suit you
Trips up your feet

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

There’s rain in the forecast
There’s time in your eyes
Flags in the furlough
Waived by the wise
The church door was open
Granite and still
The boys went in
And the pigeon came out

I'll give you a minute
It won't hurt for long, oh no
I'll give you a minute

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you

biscuits 'n gravy across the nation

I'm excited to introduce my collaboration with the incredible musician @dariusz-jackowski-1. This track has been on ice for over two years and forgotten since then. Now it's finally time for it to see the light of day. What strikes me immediately is how good the production is. You've done an fantastic job. Kudos to you, brother!

Prepare thoroughly
Visit the sacred places
Wait
Observe
Feel

Love Me

REELIN’ AND ROLLIN’ 
WHEREVER ROAMIN’
AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOUR ARE

LYIN’ AND CHEATING
NO MORALS HAVING
NO WONDER YOU’RE AT WHAT YOU ARE

AND MAN TONIGHT   
NO MOON IN SIGHT
IN THE DARK OF YOUR SOUL
NOT THE FAINT EST LIGHT
JUST THE BEAT OF A DRUM                  
IN THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL 
OF YOUR THICK JELLY BRAINS OF A FOOL

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
BLACK SKY CRUMBLING
COULD IT BE THE END OF THE ROAD
SOMEONE’S LAUGHING
AT YOUR CRYING
I GUESS IT IS THE PHANTOM OF JOB

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

AND MAN TONIGHT
THERE IS NO HAND IN SIGHT
NO MR SANDMAN 
NOT THE FAINTEST FRIEND
AND THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART
LIKE A DEADLY CLAP
AND YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING

REELIN’ ROLLIN’
TOUGH WINDS BLOWIN’
WILL YOU MAKE IT TO THE NEXT BAR
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HELL OF A TRAVELLING
BUT MAN YOU MADE IT SO FAR
NOT KNOWING WHO YOU ARE
WHERE YOU ARE AS LONG AS YOU ARE	

YOU’RE SUCH A GOOD BAD BOY
YES YOU ARE
