Album Review: "MOOD CONTROL" by BLK ODYSSY

 "MOOD CONTROL" by BLK ODYSSY album cover
The wonders are great album cover can do for any artist is BEYOND measure. By now, everyone who follows this blog knows I use a specific music website to keep track of the albums, EPs, mixtapes etc. that have been released. In checking the website this week, an album cover instantly captured my interest as I scroll through the list of album released. So any regular follower of this blog knows that it is in my nature to automatically give an album a listening ear when I like the cover art and this time was no different. This is how I was introduced to the artist BLK ODYSSY. BLK ODYSSY is an Austin-based artist and producer whose genre-bending sound draws from funk, rock, soul, hip-hop, R&B, and beyond. His music blends cinematic production with surreal, emotional songwriting that pulls listeners into another world. Excerpt taken from https://www.youtube.com/@BLKODYSSY . About the album he said, "I made this record to remind people that sound can change how we feel, how we think, and how we move. Every song carries an emotion, a frequency tied to that emotion. The world’s been stuck in noise and static, the media’s got us numb to truth and desensitized to what’s real. So we made a record that plays like a radio station, one that unconsciously rewires that in the minds of its listeners. It’s a broadcast no one was ever supposed to hear."

With that being said let us see what he has in store for us!

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
