Music Notes

J.Cole

Today for some reason I was up at 7am. I started doing a bit of brainstorming about my next book and my blog. I turned on Kid Cudi, 'man on the moon' then I ended up finding a new artist. I've been finding new artists lately who have me excited about music again. This posting is solely based on his music no research will be done until after I write this. J.Cole captured my attention on his song 'losing balance'. At first listen it reminded me of Aretha Franklin's 'A rose is still a rose' because it definitely had a message, and the melody is soulful enough for you to get lost into it. J.Cole's lyrics are raw and could be hard to listen if you perceive to be the topic of his raps however he tells you what you need to hear. Why sugar coat the truth?! J.Cole ends his song with 'her mind got me whipped', how can you not smile at the thought of a man saying & meaning that to you? Classic!
