THE BEST OF

I just wrote this song for my grandma who is 92. Her life is an inspiration to me.

WOMAN YOU ARE

VIEWPOINT

COLD NIGHTS

POSTA BE featuring Mas (Sacred Forest)

Once upon a time not too long ago I was haunted by a rhyme, hunting for a pot of gold - 
Caught a whole different outlook, now I'm shouting from the rooftops.
The crowd is assisted living, my sound is like a boombox.

"Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thought
You may house their bodies but not their souls, For thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
-Kahlil Gibran



THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW

I'm gonna keep doing my best to raise your son and honor your legacy. Rest peacefully... You will be remembered.

YESM

I wrote a song for our twin babies!
Brindel Morgan and Maudella Minna Klingelhoffer were born at 7:57 and 7:59 PM respectfully,  May 1st, 2012. 
I'm so incredibly fortunate to have a partner like Rochelle, she's the strongest and most amazing person I've ever known.

It was a beautiful experience, the happiest moment of my life.

Inspiration of life is what comes to mind when I think of the sun. Light is illumination and photosynthesis along with water allows for growth. Warmth and comfort can be compared with the love I feel as a father for my children. There is little that can inspire me a much as being a parent and the sun is the inspiration of life as we know it. My twin babies were born May 1st, in the year of the black water dragon according to Chinese astrology, hence the title.

An instrumental version of the title track from my upcoming album entitled "year of the black water dragon" set to be released in November 2012. Produced in my living room on an IMac G-5 with Reason and ProTools.


NEVER FAR FROM HOME

My state of mind influenced by intense love for my babies and twinsomnia riddled nights as a brand new father faced with the reality of my life dramatically changing... and an unauthorized collaboration with Norah Jones. Not for profit. Produced by Love.

I will be releasing a collection of works entitled: "enter the black water dragons" in the next couple of weeks... this song is not going to be part of that but I wanted to share it with you anyway. Hope you enjoy!

CONCLUSION

Louis Klingelhoffer is an extremely unique artist in the sense that he has mixed all of the styles of his inspiration, from the melodic vocals and heavy rhythmic heartbeat of roots reggae to the energy and grit of indie rock to the wit and cerebral subject matter of classic, conscious hip hop, in a way that creates something truly original for the listener. To be specific, if you are a fan of legendary artists such as Outkast, Atmosphere, K-OS and others like them, Klingelhoffer is a must have for your collection.

His lyrics capture your attention and his soulful delivery and melodic journeys make his music the perfect backdrop for internal reflection, a motivation for social change or just chilling having drinks with friends.
