A lot of music I hear or listen to of late seem to include invocations to connect with, call, find, reach out to me… Well, it seems musicians want to call me, you, us, them (or vise versa) on a cellphone, some payphone or even telepathically somehow, someway. Whatever the need to communicate, music is a great equalizer and brings us all together to entertain and be entertained. What would we do without Youtube and iTunes?

I agree with Thelonious that music is best listened to than explained. I invite you to take a moment to set aside your reservations about any of these songs and go with the flow… You might surprise yourself and enjoy it. If not, call me a Soulful Saturday, far ranging, music lover anyway. More below!

Karsh KaleOne Step Beyond

This weekend, I bring you a new mix of sounds from around the world. Some of the faces are familiar; Nicki Minaj dropped her new song (in February) – Starships – and Musiq Soulchild does a fantastic catchy song featuring Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys‘ hubby. Karsh Kale and Habib Koite might not be familiar territory for some of us, but their music is solid, soulful and deep. When we add the hypnotic sounds of Aisha Duo and Aaron Goldberg‘s classical jazz tune to the selections, we have a veritable mix of music from artists covering a broad musical spectrum. Check ‘em out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I’ve always loved Musiq’s sophisticated and soulful sounds, and I’m glad he has a new album coming out in May.  Nicki is eccentric, smart, boldly creative and fresh; that is what I love about her sound. She is not afraid to push the envelope while keeping it entertaining, fun and danceable. What I’ve always loved about music is that no matter what, we can find our sound; something appeals to us based on our interests. I’m all for musical exploration so share your songs with me.
