Levina Lye is here with a real song all about using your ‘Intuition’

Posted on 22 September 2020

Levina Lye is here with a real song all about using your ‘Intuition‘ and never losing this basic instinct to survive this crazy world of love.

Written & produced by Levina herself, this is a soulful song that has beautiful R&B vibrations, with a whole bunch of sassy soul to get those ears wide awake.

You love this person so much but something is telling you to be careful. You are listening to your head but your heart is taking you to a different place. With so much love to give, you want this so bad but don’t know what to do now. You know you should be careful as you don’t fully know their intentions yet.

With a voice of a kind angel, I love how Levina is so calm with her delivery. This is not about trying to sing crazy high notes, she keeps it so soulfully pure here. This quality singer is trying to see through the lies and sings with such passion. This is an intelligent woman with an intricate style that fills the air with beauty. She has been through a lot and her music is so inspiring.

‘Intuition‘ from Levina Lye is a sterling effort and the topic raises interesting points about players and people hiding what is really going on. Always follow your heart but let your head and intuition lead you through the smoke and mirrors.

Head through to hear this on Soundcloud.

Diquan Julius shines so bright on ‘LaLa Land’

Posted on 26 August 2020

The soulful singer Diquan Julius brings us a melody and groove that is bound to make babies on ‘LaLa Land‘.

Diquan Julius is a DC-based soul-singer-songwriter who sings with such energy and love. With a love for all types of music, Diquan has ventured in both the R&B and Gospel industry where he became a billboard charting artist with his group UTK. No, he is fully solo and ready for more.

At the age of 3, Diquan started singing in every one of his church’s choirs except the senior choir but always felt that his mother forced him to sing on Sundays. Eventually, he became a lover of music as well as gained confidence in his voice
which has landed him great opportunities such as performing the National Anthem at the Washington Wizards basketball game and singing background for the legendary Eric Benet. Thank you for Mom for giving him the motivation needed to burst on the scene.

My only wish is that this song could of been a big longer. Perhaps that is the point? This DC singer shines like a bright sky after a huge rainstorm. Diquan Julius speaks of love on ‘LaLa Land‘. He washes our souls with a top performance here that is all about that feeling you get inside sometimes. That love feel that no one else can feel for you. This is a talented musician that is building up his name after each release.

Posted on 17 July 2020

Canada is a beautiful country and it has provided the world with such a pure song thanks to Precious Onungwe. This fantastic neo-soul artist has just dropped the visuals for his brand new song called ”You Matter”. This song matters as it has put a positive spin on what has been a torturous year to put it mildly. The young singer shines here and his pure voice and wonderful message shines very bright in 2020.

”You Matter” from self-aware Precious Onungwe celebrates all of our uniqueness and our collective individualism as humans.

With self love, self worth and self awareness, we can see others from the same lens we use for ourselves. You Matter As Much As I Do is the mantra here. With this mirror, there’s no need to tear anyone down to feel bigger or elevated. We are all in this together, and we can make it a paradise here because you matter. I love what this fine artist and poet is all about.

With a soul so bright like this, can you see why this is such a vital message? Precious Onungwe’s ”You Matter” is probably one of the most important messages of the year. This is a singer who uses his platform to make a difference. Let’s turn this up, share and embrace this peaceful voice during these war-ravaged times.

Posted on 11 June 2020

When you stop trusting what you hear or read on TV- you can feel let down and robbed. You begin to doubt everything you have been taught and that sinking feeling in your stomach make its appearance. Theodis Soul expresses his disgust in a stylish manner with one of the most important Hip Hop tracks of 2020.

Usually quite chilled in his approached, this is a new and much-needed direction change for this artist with a bright future.

Theodis Soul takes on a political journey with a few ups and many downs. A relevant look into the mind of a conscious Hip Hop artist that truly gets it. After being cooped up for so long with little leadership in his country- things have exploded and he can’t hide his face anymore. Reality has hit. Soul’s skills are of a high level and he flows through the track like a old pro. ”Cooped Up” is a self-aware song and he is looking after his soul and is tired of being behind the same four walls. This is a great Hip Hop track full of funky beats and clever lyrics. Blending the new school and old school in one song is a tough feat that he has managed.
