Every since I can remember, my mind and heart have always had a deep and genuine appreciation for neo soul music. Artist like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Music, Mos Def, Common, The Roots, etc. have mentally taken me to places that books, television, and Internet social networking sites could not come close to. When listening to individuals such as these, my imagination is able to conceive mixtures and patterns of colors that aren't independently conceivable on my behalf.I'm not sure what it is about the content of this music that drives me to seek it out and find more artists like them but I like it. I love the depth of thought that goes into this type of music. It shows me that the industry appreciates more than talks about money, cars, clothes, hoes, bitches, weed, etc. I walk away feeling fulfilled but yet thirsty for more. I can't explain but I sure wish you could understand.
I think in a previous life I might have been a soul child and maybe this music allows him an opportunity to consume me for the life span of one of these musical tracks. Lol, I'm sure you're like he's on some other shit right now lol. Anyway, I'm searching to reconnect with my inner soul child. You'll know him when you see him. He's lured by neo soul, poetry, spoken word, candles, dim lights, wine, and philosophical conversations with depth.
Let me know if you see him and if you find him before you see me, tell him I'm looking for him. Who is he? Simply put, CONSCIOUSNESS!!!
