Trey McLaughlin And The Sounds Of Zamar -- Hosanna

At any moment things could change, 
so just hold me, baby unfold me, 
you know I’m yours right now tonight.
 I’ll give you all that I am if you let me promise never to forget me, 
I’ll love you endlessly, endlessly.

  Hadn’t built my wall so strong, to have you come along and prove when it comes to love - that I was wrong.  

So take me all in cause’ I don’t want to let you go. 
The touch of your skin, come a little closer get to know me, 
I just want you to unfold me, baby, please. 
Let you into my world, right here right now - I’ll be your girl. 
Cause’ when you hold me, I just want you to unfold me, baby.

  I know your hearts been hurt before but I adore you, 
 I’d do anything for you,
 follow my lead and see how you make me feel when I am with you, 
and in those eyes, I can see it too, 
That there is no place you’d rather be.  

Hadn’t built my wall so strong, to have you come along and prove when it comes to love - that I was wrong.  

So take me all in cause’ I don’t want to let you go. 
The touch of your skin, come a little closer get to know me, 
I just want you to unfold me, baby, please. 
Let you into my world, right here right now - I’ll be your girl. 
Cause’ when you hold me, I just want you to unfold me, baby.

 There can’t be a better time 
To say don’t go  
We can take it slow oh
 If it ain’t love then that's okay 
Let's just stay up all night
 I won’t make you wait.

So take me all in cause’ I don’t want to let you go. 
The touch of your skin, come a little closer get to know me, 
I just want you to unfold me, baby, please. 
Let you into my world, right here right now - I’ll be your girl. 
Cause’ when you hold me, I just want you to unfold me, baby.

So take me all in cause’ I don’t want to let you go. 
The touch of your skin, come a little closer get to know me, 
I just want you to unfold me, baby, please. 
Let you into my world, right here right now - I’ll be your girl. 
Cause’ when you hold me, I just want you to unfold me, baby.

A Song From Nothing (#1 - Juno 60)

Presenting: QUARANTINE LOVE “A Playlist 4 Us”

This playlist features 3 original songs, written & produced by Isaiah Gibbons, in collaboration with various other artists. It is a compilation of 3 love songs that consist of musical elements and sounds inspired by my love for 90’s/early 2000’s R&B. The 3 songs on this playlist chronologically represent what Isaiah calls the 3 stages of a relationship, all of them beginning with the Letter F: The “FAIRYTALE STAGE” The “FIGURING OUT STAGE” & The “FOREVER STAGE”

All 3 tracks were created during this time of Quarantine and I really wanted to share them to the world. Special thanks to everyone who worked and contributed to this project.

Toronto - some sweet R&B x

Meagan De Lima is a Toronto singer-songwriter crafting R&B music that comes from a place of heart-centered sweetness and compassion. Together, herself and producer Mark Pelli (Sabrina Claudio, Chris Brown) blend contemporary R&B with acoustic soul that is warm, earthy, and lush.
 
Both her grandparents originated from Goa, India, and Meagan's parents were born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. Her grandfathers were both jazz musicians who toured in India, Africa, and Canada when they immigrated in the ’60s. This formed her natural affinity for music at a young age. 
 
Meagan fell in love with singing at a young age, belting songs by Toni Braxton at home. Music was a safe harbour for her growing up with mental health challenges, reconciling her parent's health battles, and finding the silver lining in constant change as a resilient songwriter. Her records are at equal turns vulnerable and relatable to anyone dealing with similar personal struggles.
 
Highlights of her career include performing for President Obama, the Invictus Games, and opening for Kehlani with the group TRP.P at Pride Festival. She was awarded Canada’s Top Artist for Social Change (judges: Director X, Tegan and Sara) and made her performance and acting debut in the film, “Learn to Swim” at TIFF.
 
Meagan has been featured on Apples “Best New Songs List,” Amazon's “Breakthrough R&B” and Spotify's New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Mood Ring, and Just Vibing.
