I am in transition. I am a soul singer re-evaluating what soul is. Soul music should come from within, should express real life, and should not be in a genre box. As I redefine what gospel means to me, I wish to sing about the God I love, as well as the pain of life. I want to follow in the footsteps of the holy one, and be all things to all men that I might win them. That they might see light in me, not a hypocrite or a zealot. Just a human with flaws and problems, ups and downs, winning and excepting loss. I just wanna sing life and living.
An August type of Blues:
Feeling blue like berries but I'm still that sweet/ Wanna fly but barely can get on my feet/ Loving myself is like a mystery/ Trying not to sleep in the bed I made for me/ My destiny/ My history/ Like Jepordy/ I feel as though I've only got a little time to come up with the answers/ As the song plays/ It's a countdown not a melody
Update 11/8/08: Wrote a New song for the Obamas with my good friend Myisha Cherry. "Song for Barack and Michelle"
SOMETIMES WE CAN DO ALL WE CAN TO LOVE AND HELP. BUT AT THE END NO ONE IS SATISFY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU STAND ON WITH THE LORD. THEY MIGHT PUT YOUR NAME DOWN AND STONE YOU WITH WORDS, BUT SERVANTS OF GOD!!! GET UP!! BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST, LET THE LORD BE YOUR STRENGTH AND HIGH TOWER!!! STAND FIRM ON THE ROCK, THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS BUT YOUR SAVIOR'S
1 Samuel 30:6 (New King James Version) 6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
I just want to keep you posted on what's going on this way.
