Listen to music and listen to it often. Listen to it when you’re sad, listen to it when you’re happy. Listen in the car and listen to it live. But also listen to music when you’re otherwise too preoccupied to really pay attention to the music. In those moments, certain songs will pull you away from whatever you're absorbed in.
Your ears will perk up, from the baseline or drum beat, or lyrics, or melody, and you’ll forget what you were doing or saying because you're suddenly, inexplicably arrested by a tune you’ve never heard but have always known. When a rhythm captures your spirit and plays a beat on your bones so loud that it shakes your soul, that’s a special song. The best kind of song.
This is a composition of afro rhythms, hip-hop, R&B, and jazz, compiled on the skin track and for the soul. Skin Tracks Volume I.
