Music Monday - A Tribute to Michael Jackson : King of Pop

Like the rest of the world, I was in a state of utter shock and devastated to hear the news of the untimely death of pop icon Michael Jackson. When my boss broke the tragic news to me, I was in a state of disbelief. Although he has no reason to lie to me, I refuse to believe the news. But curiosity got the better of me. So when I finally switched on my laptop, the news of his death spread like wildfire through news sites, social networks and Twitter non-stop. It was simply shocking.

I spend my childhood listening to Michael’s timeless music and words cannot describe how much the legendary King will be missed. Although I've never been a huge fan of Michael Jackson, it made me sad that the legendary King of Pop was gone despite all the controversies surrounding him in the past decades. So keeping his personal life aside, it’s the music and amazing talent of Michael Jackson, that we should all remember him.

Having said that, he was an undoubtedly amazing moon walker I've ever seen and I don't think we will ever have another magnificent King like him for the rest of the decade because he’s irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Almost instantly, a musical tribute filled the airwaves with his greatest hits. As sad as it may sound, his legacy will never die and forever be cherished in the heart of millions who treasured his undeniable talent.

May his soul rest in peace. I sincerely hope he has finally found some form of peace and happiness in his life he was never able to find in this world. My heart goes out to his three kids and other members of his family.

Until then, I'm featuring a couple of Michael's inspirational songs this week for your listening pleasure. Happy listening!

Music Monday - Lessons In Love (Level 42)

It's been a while since I've last participated in Music Monday, so I decided that it's time for me to just sit back for a moment and relax. Being a hardcore 80s music fan, I'll be featuring one of my all time favourite tunes by an English pop rock band, Level 42. This single was a big hit in the 80's and I'll leave you with this superb number for your listening pleasure. It takes me on a trip down memory lane with snippets of great memories of my teen days with love and life. I hope you'll enjoy my selection this week. Happy Music Monday !

Music Monday

It's my first Music Monday post of the year. Being a great fan of music, I figured it would be fun to participate in Music Monday. I 'm not certain if it would be a weekly affair, but somehow I feel inspired today and I'm absolutely delighted to share this number for your listening pleasure.

I have been a big fan of Alicia Key’s since her days of “Fallin” and her songs are truly inspiring and give me strength. She's undoubtedly one of the most talented divas in this age and the way she plays the piano is simply awesome. I love this soulful rendition of Alicia Key's If I Ain't Got You and it mesmerize me every time I listen. Enjoy!

Songs for You, Truths for Me - James Morrison

Love him or loathe him, James Morrison is arguably one of the polished singers/songwriters in the world. I recently discovered his great new track called 'If you don't wanna love me' and I've been listening to it relentlessly lately. It proves to be a romantic catchy tune with appealing lyrics.

If you don't wanna love me


With his husky set of vocals, soulful style and substantive lyrics, James Morrison has already captured the hearts of millions of adoring female fans. This type of music isn't usually my cup of tea, but after listening to this track many times, it really hit me last night. I enjoyed listening to a few great tunes from his new album 'Songs for You, Truths for Me' as well and his first album, 'Undiscovered' was pretty cool too. His blend of exquisite melody, truthful songwriting, and brilliant voice is refreshing and soothing to the ears. One of my favourites is his lovely rendition of 'You Make It Real' which makes it appealing to the listeners as well.

You Make it Real


So any fans of James Morrison here?
