The first single from Lovespirals’ 2007 album, ‘Long Way From Home,’ was a heart-rending ethereal blues cover of the anonymous American spiritual, “Motherless Child.” It also appears on the ‘Motherless Child EP‘ released September 16, 2007. This video was filmed by Lovespirals’ vocalist, Anji Bee, on a road trip to Sonoma County, California.
The ‘Motherless Child EP’ is available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, Bandcamp and other online music stores.
Summer is nearing its end and fall is slowly coming upon us. It’s the most bittersweet time of the year, realizing the good times are over as the long cold nights return. And it all went by so fast… So stay just a moment longer, won’t you?

It’s been far too long since I last dropped a mix! But I’m back with a super loved up collection of future tunes – many of which feature full vocals. I feel like there’s more original tunes than remixes this time around, but there’s def a few big names thrown in amongst the more underground talents. Anyway, hope this laid back set helps set the mood for you over this Labor Day Weekend. And if you’re not celebrating this American holiday, then hopefully it’ll just make your end of summer weekend sparkle just a lil brighter!

The sky is still
No clouds are overhead
My head still reels
From all those things you said
Do you believe in magic
I think you do
Do you believe in something
Pulling you
To your destiny
It’s you and me
We’ll see this thru
No rest until
Our path has been well tread
And we fulfill
All of our dreams unsaid
Do you believe in magic
I think you do
Do you believe in something
Pulling you
To your destiny
It’s you and me
We’ll see this thru
Destiny was released as a single on June 8, 2016.
NOTE: The text document for these lyrics was created in August 2005, but I can’t find any mention of them in my diary, and I don’t remember anything about writing them. That was a really busy time for me, as I’d just gotten married, overseen renovations on my house, and was releasing my second album with Lovespirals – this time on our own label, which I’d just started that year. I was so busy with so many things, it’s no wonder I forgot writing this song! As for this recording, Gerry and I began work in September 2014. He sent me an instrumental demo, simply titled “Pop2Mixdown,” and the very next day I sent him back my first vocal demo, with the note, “oh yeah i like this one. just whipped up a quick demo.” Pleased, Gerry replied, “I love it. This is one of those demos that is pretty much finished. I listened to it again first thing this morning. All I can say is wow.” I went ahead and bounced my vocal acapellas down and sent them over immediately, to which he responded, “Great melody. Great Lyrics, Soulful singing. Perfect.”
‘Destiny’ the beautiful new single from The Grooveblaster & Anji Bee is now available on iTunes. It is the 12th and final single of the Grooveblaster’s 12 singles in 12 months campaign, and the ninth song this duo has created together. In 2008, The Grooveblaster created a remix of “This Truth,” by Anji’s band, Lovespirals. Soon after, she contributed vocals to 2 tracks on The Grooveblaster album, ‘Cities Streets & Bebop Nights.’ Another two collaborations were created for his 2011 album, ‘Out of the Past,’ and 2 more Grooveblaster remixes were produced from Anji’s first solo album, ‘Love Me Leave Me.’ There are tentative plans to re-release all of these collabs in one collection, potentially with one or two more original songs by the duo. Keep your eyes out for more news!
Bit rushed for time, but had to take a minute to make a mix for you of some of the chillest future vibes out recently on SoundCloud. It’s a pretty low key mix that starts out hazy with a few vocal tunes, a bit of urban vibes and a couple upbeat pop remixes at the end. Sorry it’s a bit later that normal, I guess it’s already Saturday for some of my fans. Have a great weekend, fam!!!

By request, I’ve lightened up the mood a bit this week, with an emphasis on lovely female vocals and a sweet array of future beats and bass. Lots of new artists featured this week, and most of these I download today from SoundCloud, so lots of new releases!
