So.
Just got back from 1st vacation in awhile. Decided on some warmth and sun and tropics. Anyway. Almost no place in the world seems to understand how music plays a part in the overall vibe of being on some island in the middle of the ocean.
That said. let’s go back to 2009 for a minute (mainly because I overlooked this song).
Ok.
Let’s face it (part 1).
I am an old white guy so the black r&b stations are typically not high on my music rotation. So maybe I needed to go somewhere else to hear it.
Let’s face it (part 2).
But. A great r&b groove is a great r&b groove … and timeless.
This song just oozes out of the speakers.
Beautiful Music.
A beautiful voice.
This song, On the Ocean, I am sure was big but me, being a clueless white guy, just missed it.
But hey … I am the guy who thought Donnel Jones’ “U know what’s Up” was the greatest r&b song I had ever heard only to find out it had been out for over a year (and it is still a great song and maybe the highlight of CrazyBeautiful … okay .. La Siempre was the musical highlight of that movie).
Anyway. I am rambling.
Maybe in this genre I am always a couple of years behind.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm … maybe I am just a couple years behind in everything.
Oops.
That is another post for another day.
Here is the song.

And just because I was curious ‘cause I had never heard of K’Jon.
A couple more nice songs:

Better late than never is my motto.
Enjoy.
