“The Dealbreaker” is a smooth and sultry blend of Contemporary R&B and Neo-Soul, weaving sharp lyrical wit through velvety harmonies and a slow-burning groove. Anchored in a soulful rhythm section and drenched in Rhodes textures, the track plays like a late-night conversation between power and surrender. Hints of retro soul add warmth and nostalgia, while modern phrasing and vocal interplay keep the energy intimate but cutting. It’s the sound of a contract undone — softly, skillfully, and with no regret.

[LYRICS]

Mmm…
I had a plan.
A line. A wall.
Then you just…
looked up — and that was all.

Pressed and polished, every edge tight.
Spoke like the terms were black and white.
My suit said “strict,” my voice said “clear” —
But one look from you, and I forgot why I was here.

Walked in late, just floating slow.
You stared too long — now you let it show.
I crossed my leg, you missed your cue…
One blink, and baby — I had you.

I rehearsed a hundred ways to say no…
But I just smiled — and let it go.
You should have come with firewalls built
But darling, charm does not carry guilt.

It was the wink that broke the deal.
No terms, no talk, no time to feel.
You got me open, signed me blind
Now I am yours, and I do not mind.

Forget the fine print, lose the seal.
You touched my hand and closed it real.
I came in sharp, I am leaving soft…
It was that wink… that wrote me off.

Had charts and walls, and every fact…
Just wore red lips and knew the cracks.
I built defenses, bold and clean
Then crossed the room and split the scene.
I thought I would walk out sharp and sealed
But baby, some deals do not stay real.
You raised your brow, I lost my ground.
You called me trouble… then stuck around.
I tried to renegotiate
But sugar, please — it is far too late.

It was the wink that broke the deal.
You turned my logic into feel.
I dropped the script, I missed the cue —
And now my closing line is you.
Forget the fine print, let it slide.
You win, love — now I will sign with pride.
That kiss, that glance… that final steal —
It was that wink…
That sealed the deal.

Some deals are not signed with pen or seal…
Just a look…
And now it is real.

Artists Without Borders / Makaan مکان  w/ Q-BRA - 6th August 2025

The Bitches are works of art, they should be on display  in galleries, not just wandering about them. Thank goodness the culture now is allowing them to talk crap for an hour because they have too many opinions for under three minutes. Daniel’s week has literally hit the headlines but when are the headlines going to be about him? Maybe he needs to become a writer and head to New York looking for love… oh wait, we've seen this storyline before! How does it all end? Max picks his eyes off the floor after seeing another gay drink the Koolaid. Red dye No 30 anyone?  Can’t people be more original? Oh look, a remake of The Holiday! Then the Besties are forced to be actual adults and discuss discussions of actual consequence, like what the hell happened in the Marks and Spencer’s bra department? And can Sydney Sweeney’s career ever recover from a thumbs up from the Right, because Nancy Meyers would never! Cheers!

Welcome to Cowboy in the cut. Join the conversation!

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.
