So are the mills grinding more slowly? Or are we simply failing to turn, at the required pace, into the direction the wind currently favors? Do we really want to keep rambling on? No. Clear enough? Everything is better with music. So let\u2019s try that \u2014 and let the universal favorite <strong>JARROD LAWSON<\/strong> open yet another chapter of his forthcoming album. With its cheerful instrumentation, we might even call \u201cIf We Pretend\u201d quirky \u2014 in the most positive sense. And we will. Once again we marvel at the complexity of Lawson\u2019s harmonies and look forward even more to the \u201cJust Let It\u201d album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PJ MORTON<\/strong>, too, is known as a man with a message. With his current single \u201cMutual,\u201d he keeps things more private, singing about love \u2014 and how it becomes even more beautiful when it\u2019s returned. Add a lively groove, a touch of jazz, and the now-omnipresent trumpet of Keyon Harrold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Angels Of Libra do it for<strong> SARIFE<\/strong>, and together they give us a five\u2011minute soul\u2011pop treat. Warm, lightly swaying, with a lovely melody and the comforting sense that this liaison should continue beyond \u201cUna \u00daltima Vez.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephen Bruner has gathered the song\u2011eggs he recorded over the past three years just in time for Easter, polishing them to new\u2011deserved shine on his \u201cDistracted\u201d album. With bass and ideas. With fun, meaning, and intention. <strong>THUNDERCAT<\/strong> is R&amp;B, soul, funk, jazz \u2014 in his very own way. Distinctive, and for potential new cat\u2011friends always full of surprises. Naturally, there are fresh Thundercat tracks as well, and of course the invited studio guests are many and illustrious. Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kein Tag vergeht. Mahlen die M\u00fchlen also langsamer? Oder drehen wir uns nur nicht in gefordertem schnellem Tempo  in die gerade passende Richtung des Windes? Wollen wir tats\u00e4chlich weiter schwafeln? Nein! Deutlich genug? Alles ist besser mit Musik. Also versuchen wir&#8217;s damit. und lassen den Universal-Favoriten <strong>JARROD LAWSON<\/strong> ein weiteres Kapitel seines bevorstehenden Albums aufschlagen. Ob der frohgemuten Instrumentierung, k\u00f6nnten wir &#8222;If We Pretend&#8220; gar also &#8222;quirky&#8220; im rundum positiven Sinn durchgehen lassen. Machen wir auch, staunen dazu ein weiteres Mal \u00fcber die Komplexit\u00e4t der Lawson&#8217;schen Harmonien und freuen uns noch ein bisschen mehr aufs &#8222;Just Let It&#8220; Album. &#8211; Auch <strong>PJ MORTON<\/strong> ist uns als Mann mit Botschaft bekannt. Mittels seiner aktuellen &#8222;Mutual&#8220; Single bleibt er eher privat, besingt die Liebe und dass diese noch sch\u00f6ner ist, wenn man auch zur\u00fcckgeliebt wird. Dazu ein flotter Groove, ein wenig vom Jazz und die seit geraumer Zeit omnipr\u00e4sente Trompete des Keyon Harrold. &#8211; Die Angels Of Libra machen&#8217;s f\u00fcr die <strong>SARIFE<\/strong>, und gemeinsam geben sie uns ein 5-min\u00fctiges Soul-Pop-Schmankerl. Mit erw\u00e4rmend-leichtem Schunkel-Charakter, einer feinen Melodie und dem sicheren Gef\u00fchl, dass es nach &#8222;Una \u00daltima Vez&#8220; mit dieser Liaison weitergehen sollte. &#8211; Stephen Bruner hat rechtzeitig zum Osterfest seine in den vergangenen 3 Jahren eingespielten Song-Eier zusammengesucht, und diesen dann im Rahmen seines &#8222;Distracted&#8220; Albums zu neu-verdientem Glanz verholfen. Mit Bass und Ideen. Mit Spa\u00df, Sinn und Verstand. <strong>THUNDERCAT<\/strong> ist RnB, Soul, Funk, Jazz in ganz eigener Manier. Speziell, und f\u00fcr eventuell neue Katzenfreunde jederzeit mit \u00dcberraschungspotential. Nat\u00fcrlich gibt&#8217;s auch frische Thundercat-Songs, selbstredend sind die ins Studio geladenen G\u00e4ste zahlreich und namhaft. Gute Unterhaltung!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=firefox-b-d&amp;hs=doyU&amp;sca_esv=1307bad56e34d33e&amp;sxsrf=ANbL-n4LrK38-WTbwLfHc8rHAbr7ND93zA:1775308955961&amp;q=liaison+bedeutung&amp;si=AL3DRZFxPb2-x6O49Frjq-G8MB8bQ6Bq7bjAY395y_9AD2rLUzWY6o-nFFo0oq-9hPmzxlI3ZK85O_626kOTzPLdgTjT9xlnZComgBv4Nf75ugYoTR0qEBpWgXjs7u4NHF3fFGKMdrGAUElJ4JDCbyKgtunp5lmCIA%3D%3D&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiO7b6dpdSTAxV5VPEDHZ0vOOAQyNoBKAB6BAgaEAA&amp;ictx=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: If We Pretend\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4hI8EpihbiAzZ0u6PbVnj7?si=7c56d09f020c48d6&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Mutual\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/47YA4WSp4izwLKhsMJlwGO?si=d17d73a821394295&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Una \u00daltima Vez\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7HwVLxr3RHnygKhGnvZYGm?si=0f2b7017e11a48d4&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Distracted\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4DkVTJfU9qyNWKbjLoTENL?si=VNEHqsNyT_mH3zzMotmp0Q&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No day goes by.
