Starting a sample series of ones you may or may not know, but all of them will be a personal favourite.
Let me know yours if you have any? Growing up, these were my favourite conversations to have!
Do not read on if you want to guess this one. PS it’s not My Baby by Lil Romeo 💔😅

Sticking with The Jackson 5 for no.2!
Nothing like some warm vocals and a soulful beat on a cold Monday night 💜

I wasn’t outside when this came out, but I inherited a ‘Dance’ 3 disc compilation album as a kid with it on.
It was originally my aunt’s, then my sister’s, and eventually mine. That album was released in 1992, and this song always stood out. It felt very special to me!
Was anyone in the dance with it back then, remember it, or now love it as much as I do?

Probably wouldn’t have experimented with it if it wasn’t for the very friendly & creative energy at the Artisan Market!

A final recap of our football-filled summer with a look back at our Lionesses Watch Party with the wonderful @thisfangirl and @vickyparkqueens 💫
Huge love to @kiran_ravilious for welcoming us into her beautiful space. 😍
The company was brilliant, the food slapped, and of course, a goal down didn’t stop the Queens from having a half-time dance. We still believed! And when Kelly’s penalty went in, it was bedlam.
⚽️🎉🙂↔️✨

Quick one for the 80’s babies & RnB lovers 💜 Had to let the opening verses sing to each other… and they do!

There’s been a lot of discourse recently around Aaliyah’s placement in Billboard’s Top R&B Artists of All Time list, with a popular music podcast suggesting she didn’t have a major impact or an album to show for it.
Aaliyah’s artistry laid the blueprint for so many who followed (the list is literally too long), influencing music, dance, film, and fashion alike.
Not to mention, her album One in a Million changed the landscape of R&B for-ev-er. An Aaliyah mix feels like right one for me to share first 🖤
As always, shouts out to @thebasementpresentsmusic this time for OTT.
