A Beautiful Summer's Calling
1. "Seasons" by 6LACK ft. Khalid "Seasons" is the 13th song from the album East Atlanta Love Letter by 6LACK released in 2018. This gorgeous track also features vocals from Khalid which I believe also fits in the summertime mood I get from this song. With lyrics such as "A beautiful summer's calling," (a metaphor meaning better things coming in the future) how could you not miss that summer, and crave a wonderful future?

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 4)
As you probably know by now, I love Bob Dylan. I didn't think I had to spell that one out for you. I love each album for its character and authentic sound. Knocked Out Loaded is a good album; you guys are just mean. Each album has credibility for being a great.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 3)
Bob Dylan's catalogue is expansive and, well, I've probably said many things about him by now. You're all probably sick to death of me talking about him, but you wouldn't be here if you really were, so I'll take that as a compliment. He's won Grammys, he's got a Golden Globe, and the man even has an Academy Award for the song "Things Have Changed."I will have to say that this series may be a bit longer to what you're used to of me. I love writing about Bob Dylan and sharing my love for him with everyone, and I would love to hear what you think of my articles and what your favourite Bob Dylan songs are too.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 2)
Bob Dylan's name is associated with quite possibly the greatest songwriter who has ever lived. From names like the King of Folk Rock, the God of Folk, the Voice of a Generation and even, if you're lucky, Robert Zimmerman. Bob Dylan's history has filled the memories of over four generations of humankind and will remain timeless throughout world history. He is one of the greatest and most talented people on this planet and near on every songwriter of his time and ours cannot hold a candle to him.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan
I don't normally do personal lists, but this one is personal. If I've already spoken to you on social media then you probably know what is roughly going to appear on this list. Everyone knows how much I love and adore Bob Dylan and how much I love reading and writing about him. I love the way he sings in stories, as someone who holds degrees in this stuff (see my profile) I respect the talent he has and the intelligence he gives off.

Discovery Playlist Vol. 1
This playlist is a part of a series called "Discovery" where I take you through my latest journey of exploring music. Each playlist is unique; some may have a specific theme, and others may be a little random. However, the process of making these playlists stays the same: I scan my music library in alphabetical order and choose an artist for each letter (This can be difficult for some letters such as Q or X, so a letter may be skipped sometimes). Once I explore each artist, I pick my favorite tracks and simply make the playlist from those songs. The results are seen below!

My Essential Songs: Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was one of the most influential singers of the 20th Century and is still one of the best selling artists of all time. He has not only earned himself recognition in the field of music, but also in the field of film, having an academy award as another accolade to his name. He signed to Columbia records in 1943 and from then on, was an icon of teenage girls everywhere.

My Essential Songs: Nina Simone
Artist, activist, jazz musician, songwriter, composer—those are only some of the attributes that are attached to jazz legend, Nina Simone. North Carolinian beauty and intelligence rolled up into one, she paved the way for many jazz musicians after her, being sampled in everything from rap music to pop music. Her cultural influence is phenomenal and is spread internationally. Not many musicians can say they have had the cultural influence of Nina Simone.
