Born Ready
"Focused"
Hip Hop
Hip Hop
That moment you achieve the ultimate focus.
It could take anything from one day up to a whole lifetime, but when you finally achieve the focus required to achieve your long term goals in life, or even your short term goals you'll need to celebrate it.
Put this song on repeat and play it loud so the gods of the universe can celebrate with you too.
Play it everyday to help maintain your focus and remind you to keep doing what you were doing when you got focused. Maintaining your focus is just as important as finding it in the first place so you'll need a constant reminder of the struggle and hard work it took to get there.
This is your reminder, this is your song.
Stay sharp - stay Focused - stay Born Ready.

Durt Boi
"Supa Soakar"
Hip Hop
Another celebration of Miley's rump shaker?
About a year or so after Durt Boi's successful Twerk anthem - Pop, Drop And Roll, Durt Boi had to do it again one more time for the fans. Supa Soakar, another strip club anthem celebrates the female form and the art of twerking in a slightly rawer, more intense, more sensual way.
The track starts off with a very provocative clapping sound that sets the tone for one hell of a dance. Like Pop, Drop And Roll this mesmerizing track will have you reaching for your car keys and your small bills in no time. If you're already at the strip club,
you'll be throwing all your money and buying out the bar by the time you're half way through the second verse.
The worst part about it is you probably won't even have cause to regret it afterwards, once you've fully discovered and experienced the beauty of Durt Boi's
booty motivation magic.

Tara Kye
"Molten Metal"
Rock
Rock
Tara Kye returns with another reflective rock song, this time with an ominous theme. It was released independently by the Canadian rock singer songwriter in April, 2015. In this song, Tara talks about adversity, despair, hell, overcoming obstacles and the struggle to stay alive. Molten Metal has a generally dark, scary feel that is powerful and gripping. The lyrics are deep and tell the story of a close encounter with death.
Tara's innocent, angelic voice gives the song a mildly operatic and cinematic ambiance.
It has the feel of a horror movie soundtrack.
It starts off very mellow and minimal with just a piano and then builds all the way through to the chorus which has more of a hard rock feel which becomes even fuller and more intense with every passing verse.
It's a great listen that will make you appreciate life a little more than you already do.

Amycanbe
There comes a time when finding the truth becomes almost as important as life itself. This is the soundtrack of those moments.
This deep, passionate and insightful track explores different subject matters, asking questions in search of the truth. The instrumentation is soulful, spacey and has a generally exploratory feel, and the lyrical content will really make you wonder as lead singer Francesca's soothing, angelic voice presents questions you may (or may not) have asked at some point in your life or the other, or that you may ask in the future. The peaceful ambience of the track really opens the mind and frees it to explore the questions life poses in an almost therapeutic or even magical way.
This track is about asking the right questions and letting the truth find you.
It's about setting your mind free so that one day the truth can in turn set you free. If you've been missing or have never experienced really good music that enriches the mind, body and spirit, then you need look no further than Amycanbe's music. Every single one of this spectatular Italian band's songs is meaningful, artistically and musically sound, and adds tremendous value to any music collection or playlist. This is just one of many songs that could literally change your life for the better.
A song you'll remember and cherish forever.

"Holy"
Folk
The folk song that makes angels sing.
It has never been a bad idea to take time out to reflect upon and celebrate life's trials and tribulations. Whether it's saying a humble prayer or popping a bottle of champagne and putting your feet up.
This is the perfect soundtrack for those moments. It will invigorate your spirit and help you resonate with the universe in a way that can only be described as transcendental. Let your troubles float away and bask in the peaceful ambience of Jessamyn's celebratorial hymn.
Take a moment to appease the Gods of the Heavens
when times are good, and also during those unfortunate times when it seems like there's nothing worth celebrating. Open your mind and reconnect with your higher self - your inner winner, your overcomer, your firm beleiver, your go-getter, your money motivator, your greatest potential, and ultimately, the very essence of your being.
Everything is exactly as it should be. The time is now and the place is right where you are.
