Really don't see why you would stop singing. You have real sincerity in you voice. And that's rare. Great songs.

great mood.. thought provoking and emotive.  love it!

I don't understand why you decided to 'stop singing'.  Your voice is excellent and works really well on this track.  It's bare and stark and just what the lyric needs.  Good arrows, son (not enough darts cliches in common usage, if you ask me).

like the emotion and lyrics that drive this acoustic wonder.. great track sir ;-)

lots of emotion in these vocals - good work!

Wonderful track Steve!  Great to hear your music again!

Great guitar work and vox - added to favourites.

This is great Steve. Great mood and vocal, good lyric.

What the Funk? Vol. 2

Toussaint Morrison had a plan. It was to release 5 mixtapes and then immediately release original (non-sampled) material alongside his producer & adventure capitalist Dr. Wylie. Then, 2015 happened, (several anxiety attacks, the loss of his grandmother, acting alongside Judy Greer and Woody Harrelson in the movie Wilson, etc.) dumping said plans into a vat of floating good intention, heartbreak, and self-sabotage. This pitted Morrison with the challenge of finishing the songs he wanted to put out, or confronting matters at hand and writing the songs he had to. Alas, it was the latter. 

Lesser Restoration is a short album consisting of 10-song recollection surrounding Morrison’s past year and handful of months. Littered with lamenting his birthplace of New Orleans, owning several years of belligerence, and speaking to “sittin’ in a room full of white smiles, waiting for permission to hope”, Morrison’s new album speaks to the vulnerability of reconstructing your identity apart from who you selfishly thought you were and exploring whiteness in Minnesota. Lesser Restoration considers the advantages of being heartless rather than heartbroken, unlawful than law-abiding, and dying black & proud rather than living submissive through a forced smile. 

Although his considerations may never reach definitive resolutions within the context of the album, Morrison still pressures the legacy of whiteness in America having forged the myth of black skin being an ultimate threat to society. That legacy fully encapsulated in “Minnesota” as Toussaint measures it no further than the largest mass execution in U.S. history taking place in Mankato, MN, the lynchings in Duluth, and the murder of Jamar Clark, Philando Castiile and Terrance Franklin in the Twin Cities- all scenarios where a person of color was deemed unworthy of life at the hands of white authority. 

To any mind unbeknownst of role playing games, “Lesser Restoration” sounds to be some form of carpentry or a slick-slight-of-hand maneuver originated by contractors. As cool as we’d sound if it were the latter, it is not- also, confirming the author of this bio is not that cool- “Lesser Restoration” is something to tide over an adventurer who has been wounded. In Morrison’s case, it merely satiates the nerves before bigger things yet to come.

Take Some Time

By luck my folks decided to buy me one of those Keyboards you could record tracks on and had all these cool sounds which you could edit and mix, can't remember what this keyboard was called but I have special memories of making something I'd created in that bedroom way back in the 90's. I also then happen to come by this great drum machine that allowed you to program loop tracks and I put them together and started recording on tape, I have the cassettes somewhere? I eventually sold all my bits for a better keyboard, guitar and a computer and started recording the professional way?!, learning to spend more than you could earn to get the professional sound (still doing it). After many failed attempts of sending my music to record labels I decided 1. STOP SINGING and 2. JUST ENJOY WHAT YOU DO. I recorded alot and then through it all away, did a bit of travelling, still need to get that Chinese bamboo flute and Sitar!, and over the years been in a few bands, got occupied with xbox for a bit and then got back to my own music. DId nothing with my songs for too long then got introduced to Sound Cloud and hear we are. I haven't got a certain style, just like to do whatever as long it has a bit of guitar, synth sounds and some traditional instruments.
Happy Listening, your comments are appreciated!
