We haven’t heard from Ms. Lauren Hill much in a long 5 years.

Jacob Collier visited NPR Tiny Desk Studio
Jacob Collier is an English singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. In 2012, his homemade split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ’bout a Thing”, began to go viral on YouTube. He recently visited my favorite concert venue – NPR Tiny Desk Studio, to promote his latest album ‘Djesse vol.2’. “It just feels like such a tremendous, ridiculous honor to sit behind this hallowed desk,” he said. Collier’s style fuses elements of jazz, a cappella, groove, folk, electronic music, classical music, gospel, soul and improvisation, and often features extreme use of reharmonization.

Masego and FKJ drop official video for their viral hit “Tadow”
When I was planning to start this blog this song was all over my playlists on all the platforms and all devices. So catchy, so good and so satisfying. I could listen to it in a loop, on constant repeat. It’s an ideal description of what this blog is all about. A new fresh sound, a mix of music genres with respect to tradition. Nice blend of jazz, soul, beats and electronic. And the best part of it that this track was all improvised by two talented musicians who recorded the whole artistic process and then they shared with fans. Two years ago the track, FKJ shared on his Facebook…
