Hey followers :P

I've blogged before about the use of music when I'm writing. I'm a instrumental kind of guy, but this week that has changed.

I loved Macklemore's first album, and I only found out about his latest effort a few days ago. It's a great album with more thought provoking lyrics. He talks about topics which a lot of hip hop and rap artist aren't addressing.

My favourite track on the album is 'Kevin'. It talks about Macklemore's deceased brother, whom he lost to drugs. The song is an overt attack on the drug industry in America. The high points of the record are the choruses. Leon Bridges sings them and just sores through every note. His voice is beautiful and upon hearing him I needed more. Thank you Spotify, because I was able to flood my ear waves with all things Bridges. His music is 50s and 60s soul, think a little bit Doo-Wop and a little Sam Cooke soul.

I've been skipping and dancing around ever since I came across his work. It has slowed the productivity of my writing. I keep swaying and imaging I'm at some America High School Dance in 1959 with no problems.  His latest album is 'Coming Home' give it a listen it's magnificent music.

Until next time guys x
