But it ain't that deep

Cause it ain't that deep (cause it ain't that deep)

But it ain't that deep

Lyrics taken from Ain't That Deep by Tank and The Bangas Lyrics

Thank the musical gods for the recommended section on YouTube. I was watching a music video when I saw the video for a song called "Ain't That Deep" pop up on the right hand side of my computer screen. Being intrigued by the thumbnail, I clicked and instantly fell in love. So, the next step was too research the discography of the group and discovered that they had recently released an album titled "The Last Balloon" which was the final album in the unofficial balloon trilogy with the first album titled "Green Balloon" released in 2019 and the second album titled "Red Balloon" released in 2022. Here is a little information about the group for those who are just discovering the group. "Tank and the Bangas is an American musical group based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band won the 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Contest and in November 2019, they were nominated in the Best New Artist category for the 2020 Grammy Awards. They have released three studio albums, Thinktank (2013), Green Balloon (2019), and Red Balloon (2022). In 2025, they won their first Grammy for the 2024 album, The Heart, The Mind, The Soul for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album." Excerpt taken from Tank and the Bangas

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...
