So, later this year will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of what is, arguably, #Sade's best album of all time, #LoveDeluxe. I bought the CD at Tower Records when it came out, back in '92, when I was 15 years old (yes, I was ahead of my years with impeccable musical taste, if I do say so lol).

Track for track, it's a solid album and truly a masterpiece, and I couldn't have imagined that I would one day have the musical ability to be able to not only replay the arrangement, if I wanted to, but that I would have the skills to also add my own arrangements to possibly the best track on the album–#CherishTheDay"– and create this alternate universe version where I give it a more 21st century modern/Hip Hop-ish beat while maintaining the original synths & guitar, but adding new Rhodes piano and choir synth chord progressions in two breakdowns, instead of one, and removing the original drums and bass line, replacing it my own chill groove to maybe give it some more sensuality/sexiness (especially in the second half of the second 8-bar breakdown, at the 3:37 mark...smoky, sensual, hypnotic harmonies to stand apart from the original's, which was sexy as well).

I hope you enjoy my take on this classic and please do let me know if you're feeling it, and please share with others who you know would love it as much as I did making it...and please subscribe because I'm definitely gonna be adding more content, if you all want more? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean...I've remade 2 songs from this album already (first one was "I Couldn't Love You More", which many radio stations had been putting in steady rotation over the past couple of years), and there still a few months left in 2022, so I wonder if I can knock out a few more, if not the rest of the album?? 🤔😉

Cherish the Day (Ahmed Sirour Rework)

Sade - Cherish The Day (Ahmed Sirour Rework)

Dreamy new jazz from Clear Path Ensemble. Perfect for a hot, humid day.  "Drumatix" is taken from their forthcoming on Soundway Records, "Solar Eclipse". 

Led by percussionist Cory Champion, Clear Path Ensemble bottles the energy of New Zealand’s bubbling new jazz scene and distills it into moody morsels of differing styles. From electric jazz to ambient, experimental, house and funk – it’s a DIY, jam-session attitude towards composition, as the band members freely cherry-pick from a vast orchard of influences.

Royce Wood Junior "What We Doing And Where Are We Going? (WWDAWAWG)"

Nose Dive

lyrics:

i can be a mess 
always make mistakes 
every day i learn 
no day is the same

never said i’m perfect 
but it’s perfection i chase
 mind over matter 
though it stays on my mind 
for days
   
emotional, i’m emotional
 and sensitive, there’s no fix
 i’ve just got to learn to let it go 
let it flow, dwelling is not good
 for the soul, or for the heart
 listen to my gut
 cause my head’s in the clouds too much 
learn to protect my peace 
breathe deep, keep my sanity 
this is a lesson to me 
this is a letter to me

~

SHEARiNG SHEEP

Sustainer sustainer
On my chest, protect me 
From this world, from this 5.56mm 
That wants to take me
Sustainer sustainer
Can you hear what’s coming?
Is it them? no is it us? no 
Will we live?
All i hear is

Bathrooms,classrooms, churches 
Worthless how i feel when i turn on the tube and see
Campo, cubical
Kids play, they spray 
Worthless how i feel when i turn on the tube and see
End these, bad dreams

Sustainer sustainer
I’m praying i’m praying,
And i don’t follow anything
See me flinch, tight and tense since i know what tools turn to 
Vigils 

I’m praying i’m praying,
Please can someone save me?
Can we run? no can we hide? no 
Will we live? Will we die?
All i hear is

Ivys  *silence*
Poison *silence*
See through ivy’s poised in *silence*

Stock in *silence*
Broke in *silence*
There’s no stock in
Broken *silence*
Silver spoons tune out the violence

Ivy  *silence*
Poison *silence*
See high ivory’s poised in *silence*

Stock in *silence*
Broke in *silence*
There’s no stock in
Broken *silence*

Ivys  *silence*
Poison *silence*
Empty IVs, boys in *silence*

Stock in *silence*
Brokin *silence*
Silver spoons tune out the violence

Up and Down is an anthemic story that chronicles the steps of post break up sentiments. It’s sad, angry, celebratory and ultimately triumphant. It land perfectly in Talibah’s constant utterance to make some beautiful out of your pain.
