Leftys 78

The 90's were such a great time in Hip-Hop, so many classics were created. 
R&B and Soul were no exception, and the early to mid nineties have such great musical memories for me.
This is the first track from a new remix project I will be releasing later in the year called 'Trapped In The 90s: R&B/Soul Remixes'
Just a taste of what's to come! A 2013 flip on some mid 90s classics and also a few more obscure tracks... Stay Tuned!
For now, enjoy 'Me And Those Dreaming Eyes Of Mine' by the one and only D'Angelo.

D'Angelo - Me And Those Dreaming Eyes Of Mine [Arkiv Remix]

Verse I

	
Baby
	Your eyes say you’re lonely
	And it’s been a long time
	Since someone has called you the only
	Only one on their mind
	And you’re tired 
	Of spending the night 
	Alone with no help
You’d rather be held by a lover
Instead of holding yourself

Let your guard down then
I’ll bring no harm around ya
And I know that you have heard that before

But we been kicking it (Lawd)
And you’re so hesitant
And I know your heart’s A
Little scared
But don’t you wanna take It there
Take it there
Take it there


Chorus


I know you’re anxious to go baby
To a Lovers galaxy
Galaxy Yeah

And I can lead you 
Come on baby
To my lovers galaxy
Galaxy yeah 


Verse II


I know you’re satisfied
With every part of your life
Got a job out of school
Your family’s cool
Friends support you
But when it comes to love
There’s a void you can’t avoid
My darling
My darling
I don’t have a decoy
There is nothing but love in store

So let your guard down (Lawd)
I’ll bring no harm around ya
And I know that you have heard that before

We’ve been kicking it
Let’s make it permanent
I know your heart’s a little scared but
Don’t you wanna take it there
Take it there
Take it there

Chorus


Vamp

Oh Yeah Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Lovers
Lovers
Galaxy

Lover's Galaxy

Verse I
	
	Yes I know that it took me some time
	To prepare my heart and 
Walk to the starting line
Understand that love’s 
A marathon
I’m running this race cause
I trust you
And I would hope you 
Trust me too


Chorus
	
Can I be your lover
	Can I be your lover
	Can I be your lover
	Can I be your lover

Verse II

Now we’re gonna get upset at times
We’re both human 
But that doesn’t give us right
To cross the line
Don’t assume that I’m emotionless
I vow to put my pride to the side
In order to keep this love alive


Repeat Chorus
	

Verse III

I’m not one to make a guarantee
I’m not perfect 
But I know that I can
Promise you one thing
‘Til I’m breathless and my heart gives in
I will never ever fail at
Being your best friend 
My dear

Repeat Chorus

Can I Be Your Lover

Verse I
	
	Oh
Darling
Lord knows I’ve been waiting
To get to you soon
So I surrender all 
The feelings I possess inside
And lay them down in front of you

Please look at how 
I adore you smile
And your internal style 
Is worth more than anything

For life is a puzzle
And sometimes I struggle
If you let me love you
All trouble will cease
Cause you bring me peace
Oh baby baby

Please say
Love you I may
We’ll fly away
Beyond sunrays

And you won’t wanna wake up
And you’ll question if it’s reality
Cause it feels like everyday you’re dreaming
In this place called heavenly


Chorus
	oooooooooo
	Heavenly, Heavenly, Heavenly, Heavenly
	(Repeat 2x)

Verse II
	
	What more can I do baby
Tell me what more can I say
Fairytales and magic spells 
Cannot compare
To the pleasure that you bring

I just can’t get away 
You always demonstrate
That you’re an angel 
Ahead of you time
Your time your time

And I’m not familiar
Cause you’re so peculiar 
Just want to get near to
Something so surreal
Something I can feel
Oh baby baby

Please say
Love you I may
We’ll fly away
Beyond sunrays

And you won’t wanna wake up
And you’ll question if it’s reality
Cause it feels like everyday you’re dreaming
In this place called heavenly

Repeat Chorus

Intro
Waiting waiting
Waiting waiting on you
(Repeat 3x)
Waiting waiting

Verse I

I was wondering
What are you doing
For eternity 
Cause I
I was hoping
That when I meet you 
We can come together 
And just go somewhere
And last forever darling

Love is all we have in life
It’s not to be played with
It’s full of sacrifice
So I’m working hard you see
To be a better man on the daily
So you’re proud 
When you stare right through me
And meet my soul
To find out that God has
Hand picked me for you

Chorus

Message to my unknown love
I’m patiently waiting for you
	(Repeat 4X)

	Patiently waiting for you

Verse II

Oh Woman
Of integrity
Your virtuous mind and ways
Will capture me
And all your beauty
Found within your core
Is what my heart and soul 
Will most adore

Your emotions I will treat with care
Excited to build a world with you
Where nothing else matters and
Nothing compares 
And I know my God He’s
Perfect with timing
And He’s preparing me 
For a love
A love worth finding

Message to my unknown love
(Repeat 4x)

Waiting waiting
Waiting waiting on you
(Repeat 3x)
Waiting Waiting

Message To My Unknown Love

On November 12th, singer/songwriter Ab & beat-smith 14KT will release the collaboration album, “Saturn Return.” Five years in the making, the progressive soul album was created during a transitory period of their lives. 

While on the surface the album seems to be about a story of a man and woman, it’s also about growing up and reexamining choices to have a better future. Fittingly called Saturn Return after the astrological transit that everyone experiences between ages 27-30, this collaboration between Ab and 14KT show two artists that combine their years of musical experience and personal angst to create a soulful, galactic journey that everyone can relate to.

The first single from the album is a co-produced funk record titled “Lover’s Galaxy” that is reminiscent of legends “Zapp & Roger” due to Ab’s use of the vocoder on top off 14KT’s rhythmic drum pulse.  “Lover’s Galaxy” is the introduction to the holy matrimony of 14KT’s hard-hitting drums and euphoric atmosphere coupled with Ab’s melodic and soulful approach to instrumentation. 

“Lover’s Galaxy” is also the beginning of the story of “Ab” and “Lalah”, two fictional characters that are caught in a whirlwind romance throughout the entire Saturn Return album. On this record we meet Ab as he’s attempting to court Lalah and encouraging her to “let her guard down.” The invitation is as much for Lalah as it is for the listener that is beginning this journey into a rare soul album with a definitive purpose. 

Lover's Galaxy is available for free download at http://www.saturnreturnalbum.com

GOGO Music is extremely delighted to present the first single from Ralf GUM’s forthcoming album, “In My City”. It features Seattle-based soul sensation Portia Monique and is titled “Free (Is All I Wanna Be)”. After the huge success of Ralf GUM’s 2012 long-player, “Never Leaves You” (which was gold-awarded in South Africa and the best selling album of the year on Traxsource), this song will certainly increase the anticipation for GUM’s full-length.
