This track is a light tribute to my grandma's home parish in Barbados, St. James. Also for anyone who'd rather a quiet beach moment over being boxed in a carriage at rush hour.

lyrics

Last night, we finally found some respite.
Bathed in ocean tides, washing clean our minds.
Let's take our souls down to the riverside.
Floating, head to the sky.
Digging deep for sunshine buried in your eyes.

I just don't fuck with the pace, it's sapping my energy.
Confined inside these lines paved out of concrete.
Crowded streets and tube trains twisting my chemistry.
Send me out to St. James and head to the beach.

I keep on losing count of all my blessings.
I try to release the tension, before I'm inside a coffin.

x2
I just don't fuck with pace, it's sapping my energy.
Confined inside these lines paved out of concrete.
Crowded streets and tube trains twisting my chemistry.
Send me out to St. James and head to the beach.

x2
I fly around, I hunker down head first.
I wanna work / take a vacay when I want.
I'm gonna burst spending another day cooped up;
Chasing a glow, sea shores and a rum punch.

New Days

6am (Intro)

feels right

Waves crashing against rocks, autumn leaves floating across a still lake, the silence of a cold morning. Inspired by moments of reflection in autumn, "one thing" is an introspective take on the vulnerability that comes with heading into a new relationship. Love being the "one thing" to throw a person's emotions off-kilter. 

This is Marsalis' 5th release since May 2023 and it comes in preparation for his upcoming debut live shows in November this year.

one thing

The world can feel like it's moving 1,000mph separate from yourself, but truth is we've all got our place in it haven't we.

Lyrics

Centuries fading
Our lives on repeat
Memories awaken
Or never to be seen

Time coming after me

Creeping up on me
Creeping up on me
Fading century
Creeping up on me

Century

St. James, Barbados; Cityscape; 
The Millennium; North London.
