I first heard “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye” and somewhat instantly was enthralled. The rolling hi-hat entrances and always leads me to feel like a bigger beat is going to erupt, yet the song just rolls along and only gradually builds with grandeur towards the back quarter. Upon further listens, more songs have enchanted me and kept me listening on a regular basis. If you like this album, it’ll likely lead you towards Donny Hathaway’s self titled album, Isaac Hayes’ Hot Buttered Soul and Bill Withers’ Just As I Am.

🎵I don't know if this is a call for help, but I've been exclusively listening to one album for almost two months now. This masterpiece dropped in March, and I've clocked in about 300 listens, but who's counting? We are. Bonus rec, the boys and I have linked our Spotify accounts to last.fm to keep track of every song we listen to.Giveon has such a unique, well rounded, really deep voice. This is one of those albums where every song hits for me. Never thought I'd say this, but I think he may have even knocked Daniel Caesar off of my R&B artist throne.

I’ve adored this album since high school. Love the instrumentation and the way the vocalists unapologetically go for it at every turn.
My favorites are Running Away, I Still Love You, the title track, Cincinnati Growl and Stranded in the Jungle.
Godspeed Roy Ayers.

🔮If you were to poll a large swathe of people as to whether cashmere is over or underrated, I really have no clue what the consensus would be; but I think cashmere is underrated. I was not a sweater person for quite a while but have become one and culled a pretty decent collection of knitwear that I like to pull from when I want to dress to impress. Anyway, cotton sweaters are a bit too pedestrian, merino a tad too formal and while I love shetland, it can be a itchy and requires intentional layering. Cashmere balances all of the best elements of the aforementioned knits and feels delightful on the skin. I recommend you pick one up and not from Uniqlo (or insert other high street brand) - I like Ralph, Loro Piana, Malo. How pompous do I sound?

😎Occasionally folks ask what my favorite thing about living in NYC is and the go-to response I’ve figured out is “the people”. But not talking to them, observing them. One of the beautiful things about NY is that you can really be somebody and simultaneously disappear all within the same day and all within a 1 mile radius. Take some time to just chill and watch the world go round on occasion (leaving your phone in your pocket is integral).

🍫I am a big fan of cookies, they’ve definitely been my go to sweet treat for a hot minute. When I’m able, I love to get the hockey puck shaped cookies from Levain but I don’t live in close enough proximity to any of their locations that that can be a regular endeavor. Uncle Eddie’s has been the best packaged cookie that I have found that miraculously tastes homemade and fresh even when I know it’s not. Available at Whole Foods. I’m not even vegan!!!
