While listening to Elephant Michah’s album, Vague Tidings, I feel like I should be on my imaginary horse, Honeybelle, headed off to find whatever destiny awaits us. If I was a musician, I would learn all of the words to every song on this album and sing them to Honeybelle while traveling,camping and coming herContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Elephant Micah”

Sleep Deprived Music Review: Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
I have listened to the “Temple” album from Thao & The Get Down Stay Down several times. It really gets better every time I listen to it. Am I putting off doing this review so that I can keep listening to this album and not focus on doing anything else? Perhaps. I would describe ThaoContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Thao & The Get Down Stay Down”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Manny Walters
Manny Walters of South Africa released his Roots EP in 2020. I noticed Walters in 2018 or 2019. There was even a rough, practically unbegun draft of a music review for his Dark Halo EP. Obviously, I got distracted. However, I did not forget about Manny Walters. Thank goodness he is still out there makingContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Manny Walters”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Tenelle
If you are familiar with singer Tenelle, then you know her style is usually R & B with a bit of a tropical island feeling. So on the latest album, Anything is Possible, Tenelle is collaborating with Ryn as Ten x Ryn. The result is more hip-hop and explicit. I’m not complaining at all. ThisContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Tenelle”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Ruby Amanfu
The last two weeks have been really emotional at my house for reasons that will be stated later. So I have been trying to complete whatever I can as far as the blog. Ruby Amanfu has been on the list of artists to share with you guys. For some reason, I kept waiting. It’s likeContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Ruby Amanfu”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Aaron Taylor
Aaron Taylor, currently of London, has released his latest album, Icarus. To quote Key & Peele, “That’s My Jam!!!!” Some of us have been watching a lot of Key & Peele in between writing music reviews. Aaron Taylor’s music sounds like a fusion of jazz/funk/RB. Also, his music sounds like honey. It’s like Taylor isContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Aaron Taylor”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Adia Victoria
The album,Silences, was released by Adia Victoria in 2019. If you have a minute, check out this album and also her new music. Her music has been described as Gothic indie blues. It’s a little sad, powerful, haunting, beautiful. What else could you want from the blues? The lyrics remind me of when you’re atContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Adia Victoria”
Quarantine Interview, Part 1: Esteban
We all probably know Esteban, the world-famous guitarist. I’d like to introduce you to a completely different Esteban. Please welcome Esteban of Derby in England. They call their style “desert funk.” I’m not sure if I know what desert funk is but I could get behind the idea. It’s probably better than dessert funk, whichContinue reading “Quarantine Interview, Part 1: Esteban”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Mariee Sioux
In June 2019, Mariee Sioux released her third album, Grief in Exile. The album is haunting and powerful. The impression that I take away is that we can be sad and in control. Eventually, we can put our own depression back on the shelf. Her voice sounds like Joan Baez. Sioux doesn’t sound exactly likeContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Mariee Sioux”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Paranoias
In October 2020, The Paranoias and Profesor Galactico released a joint album, Nightmare/Hope to See You Next Year. The music is like if Jack Skellington joined a Latin ska fusion band. The music has some spooky carnival vibes combined with Latin ska and a hint of lots of other genres. I’ve been listening to theContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Paranoias”
