SO GOOD to be doing this again! Here's a little sneak peak at what I've been working on. Let me know what you think!

Stay (Acoustic Rihanna Cover)

I've been waiting a long time to be ready for this song: Nina Simone, the individual and the artist is such an inspiration to me. This is a tribute and thank you to her.  

Feeling Good (Nina Simone Cover)

Who hasn't been here? It definitely helps to sing a song about it.

What Can I Say

One of my favorite songs, mantra really. Landslide, originally by Stevie Nicks.

Landslide

Great song by Miike Snow. I had intended something else but what came to life was a bluesy, folky song. Some kinks to figure out. Layering to be done but here we are!

Animal

Rearranged (and still working on this now-classic tune by Lemar. This is for F. Thank you, always. 

Lullaby

This is a short version of  a favorite by Ray LaMontagne, also one of my favorite artists and lyricists (I call'em poets). I've often been on either side of this equation of friendship, so it's a song that I feel intensely. If you haven't yet, you should check out Ray's original version: amazing.

There comes a time, a time in everyone's life
Where nothin' seems to go your way 
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time, you just cant seem to find your place
For every door you open, seems like you get two slammed in your face
That's when you need someone, someone that you can call. 
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me 
Feels like you always commin' up last
Pockets full of nothin', ain't got no cash
No matter where you turn, you ain't got no place to stand
You reach out for something and they slap your hand
Now i remember all to well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you'd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
That's when you need someone, someone that you can call 
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

Let it be me

I'm still working on this cover of a Kodaline song. I love it when a song seems to find me, grow in its own way within my voice. It's surprising, specially when I listen to the original (which is beautiful...) Nonetheless, I'm having a ton of fun with this one. What do you think?

All I Want
