Happy Sunday, all! Welcome to this week's "Song Sunday." Today's feature is from the girl group The Aces: titled "Lovin' is Bible," it's a catchy track that expresses the singer's love for the loved one, all while using religious comparisons in the process. https://youtu.be/qsy6TE8lrLQ The thing to note is that, even with the religious comparisons …

Hello, everyone! This week's "Song Sunday" is a derivative of another song that I've already shared on this blog just a couple of months ago. From German DJ Halcyon's breakthrough track "Runaway," it has been remixed into a chill-out, but still soaring song about freedom and exploration, ideally with the one you love. https://youtu.be/D2Xy3FWSshc What …

Hello, all! It's been a while since I'd last written this sort of post, but it's returning (for the moment, that is)! As you might have noticed, I'm making a *subtle* change to the format of this series, replacing "Sunday Slow Jams" with the simpler "Song Sunday." Having noticed that my recent music posts weren't …
Hello, folks! Happy Sunday. 🙂 This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" features the vocals of British singer Craig David. Titled "Magic," this song is an upbeat, funk track that's simple in composition, but great to jam out to, whether at the club or at home. https://youtu.be/jgQm-7Bmx0c While I wouldn't necessarily classify "Magic" as a slow jam, …
Happy Sunday, everyone! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" will be slightly different, as I'm not sharing any particular song, but a collection of songs from Filipino singer Charice (now known as Jake Zyrus). More specifically, I'll be sharing some of the singer's best covers from the early 2010's, at the height of success. https://youtu.be/6H7zPf431h0 Once …
Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" will be a different one, as it's from a *relatively* unknown artist by the name of Halcyon. With the track called "Runaway," it's an ethereal song which, contrasted with the hard-hitting beats in the chorus, is sure to take you away "like a dragonfly." https://youtu.be/Bc8y51Vu6EA Really, this …

Happy Sunday, everyone! Been another while, but any case, here's this month's first "Sunday Slow Jam." Also a recent favorite, "Better With You" by Jesse McCartney is that acoustic track that's sure to transport you back to the mid-2000's era. https://youtu.be/r-d5HI-zC3I Having grown up listening to Jesse McCartney, I was pleasantly surprised that he came …
Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" is that from British singer-songwriter Tom Odell. Granted, this song, "Another Love," is a relatively-old one, as it came out almost six years ago-- crazy to believe that I just recently discovered it! https://youtu.be/MwpMEbgC7DA I'll be honest and say that, at first, I didn't completely love the …
Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jam" is a cover from the musical Dear Evan Hansen, as covered by Doug Armstrong, a British YouTuber who has a knack for singing, baking, and of course, looking good. 😉 https://youtu.be/ixeHMiRXBmc Now, I had never seen or heard of Dear Evan Hansen before listening to this song, …

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" has been a recent obsession for me. From English singer Dua Lipa, "IDGAF" is a wonderful surprise, both musically and visually. https://youtu.be/Mgfe5tIwOj0 What makes this track so catchy is its militaristic drums in contrast with the melancholy licks of the guitar, as they battle between feeling sad …
