Haim




These girls know how to kick up the funk and reel in the catchy beats. After supporting big name artists on tour and releasing an EP in 2012, their first full-length album, "Days Are Gone" landed last September.



Haim consists of three sisters: Alana, Danielle and Este, Haim hailing from Los Angeles, California.


I first heard about the girls through the Shadowboxer's monthly cover series, when they covered Haim's "If I Could Change Your Mind" last November. To me, their music is nostalgic of the 80's yet sounds so current. I dig it… you should grab a shovel too.

Check out this one last video of Haim covering Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough."

I'm On Top Of The World, 'Ey!


Imagine Dragons - Top of the World

Alright, back to the music, been busy with the remodel at work lately.

Last month, when I was asked what my favorite song of 2013 was, I automatically spit out Imagine Dragons - Top of the World… then I realized it came out the year before. #fail

BUT, it was that question that actually what prompted me share my favorite songs in my blog all 2014 long instead of a "30 Day Challenge," cause I don't have that kind of discipline! 





This is simply the best song to get you focused and amped during yoga. Just sayin'.

PS. Happy Game Day y'all! #championships #niiiineeers #NEpats #seeyouattheSuperBowl,BrunoMars

1,000 Miles


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEME!!!!

Loosing people is one of the hardest things we endure as humans. It's all our damn emotions! It's hard to believe that this is my Meme's third birthday I've quietly celebrated without her.

I'm accomplished so much since she left us. I know she is always with me and knows the family's triumphs but I'd love to sit down with Mem and talk about everything. And of course, give her a big her.
#MissyouMem #Becareful

It's no surprise when I say, when Vanessa Carlton's 1,000 Miles was released, it was over-played but the first time I heard it after Meme's passing, it held captive a whole new meaning.

Human Nature (sadly, not Madonna)


Brand spanking new cover song from the Shadowboxers! This month, they chose Michael Jackson. You can never go wrong with Michael… well, his music at least. Other topics are left questionable.

Check out their WEBSITE because you should all be following these talented guys.

And if you're in NYC on Thurs Jan 30, check out their SHOW at Piano's! I can't believe I'm missing it. #have to work #non-profit #responsible

Love Pusher


The Shadowboxers - Lover Pusher Girl (Justin Timberlake cover)

First Tuesday is certainly my favorite day of every month. Last month, my favorite Atlanta boys, The Shadowboxers released their monthly cover, this time a Justin Timberlake song. Well, in less than 30 days it had 103,000 views; What an extraordinary amount! I'm so excited to hear what they release tomorrow! Hell, forget tomorrow - I hope this year is HUGE for them!

New Year

Ian Axle - This Is The New Year

This song came out a few years ago and I remember I picked it up on iTunes, used it on a New Year's mix and forgot about it until I heard it the other night on a commercial! I realized how much I missed it, so here it is. The video is kinda fun too.

Only Girl


Happy New Year! I'm starting 2014 off by posting some of my favorite songs and what they mean to me.

I've been thinking about when I was living in Austin, Texas a few years ago and had to get in touch with my old room mate after remember our late-night dance parties at our apartment complex, East Side Commons. My room mate would usually kick off the night with this after I got home from work, almost demanding respect from her then boyfriend.
