What are “Soul Comfort” moments?
--------------------------------------------
5:55 pm
I'm sitting in my hotel room... waiting for the limousine. A few hours ago, Maxwell's stylist and Carib Newspaper's Entertainment editor, were deciding what I would wear on the red carpet (black vintage jacket) and on stage (white suite from Sonia Rykiel's Homme Collection with shoes by Valentino). Relaxed and sophisticated... I like it. Regina Belle is also slated to perform tonight and Rihanna is nominated for 6 awards. Stepping out onto the balcony, I listen to the waves below on the beach, and feel the ocean breeze against my face... this is a “Soul Comfort” moment.

The journey started last summer, when Walter Greene listened to my new CD, and asked for an interview for his newspaper and radio show. I was honored by what he wrote “Soul Comfort soothingly blends quiet storm, soul and sweetness all wrapped in a cozy blanket of spiritual awareness.” This is exactly what I wanted to give everyone listening to “Soul Comfort.” Then he invited me to perform at Guyana Fashion Weekend 2008... What an experience! And yes that was a “Soul Comfort” moment.

9:25 pm
I'm waiting backstage at the 2009 Barbados Music Awards, holding my guitar. The lights dim and I hear my name introduced. That's my cue. I move quickly... I only have a few minutes to get into position. The stage hand positions the mic and runs into the wings. The blue spotlight baths me... I'm on...

Now everything is hazy blue... a vast sea of soft blue light. I take a moment to adjust, and then slowly enter the world of music... melody... harmony... lyric. Ahhhh yes! This is it... I feel my voice flowing out of me. This moment is sublime, the pinnacle of happiness – the ultimate “Soul Comfort” moment. I am giving my music to this audience and they are receiving it. I can feel them relax now and enjoy my love. It's beautiful and indescribable... as the lights dim, I can hear the applause...

“Soul Comfort” is my happiness on record. Nominated for 2 Velocity Awards (Best Alternative Artist and Best R&B Album), it features an impressive array of talent - Carl Evans on Keyboards (he's played with Stevie Wonder & Barry White); David Stark on Guitar (Rick James & Teena Marie); Tommy Aros on Percussion (Luis Miguel); and Polydor recording artist Mike Ibrahim. CD mastering done by Robert Honablue, whose Gold and Platinum credits include Santana, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Bob Marley, and Miles Davis.

But more importantly, “Soul Comfort” is my gift to you. I'm giving you the power to buy “Soul Comfort” now for any price you choose. You can set your purchase price as high or as low as you like. I receive emails all the time from people who listen to “Soul Comfort” everyday, because its part of their morning ritual. Or while driving to work, because it clears their mind. Or while cleaning, because it helps time fly by. Or while making love, because... well you know... lol Imagine owning this CD now... what “Soul Comfort” moments could you be enjoying...

12:55 am
We are sitting in the limo heading back to the hotel. All the congratulations and well wishes are now in my heart... all the celebrity pictures are saved, and I'm watching the lights sail by. It's been a successful evening. I would only have a few hours of sleep before filming the Good Morning Barbados TV interview and performance. But right now, I smile, replaying the scenes of the last few hours, and thanking the Universe for another “Soul Comfort” moment – these special times we always remember.

Track Name: Doing m' Thing
Its Sunday morning
And I’m alone on the beach
Watching the beauty of sunrise
Wind through my hair
Caressing my face
Feeling the sand beneath my feet

Later that day
I’m walking through the park
Listening to the song on the breeze
Love is the thought
Peace in my heart
I know why

Chorus: Cause I’m doing my thing

The candles are lit
Incense stick burning
Nurturing the spirit within
Warm waters running
Sea salts are falling
Badu badu do we do be

Music is soft
Jazz to be precise
Strawberries lay in a dish
You may expect to hear someone at the door
But no tonight

Chorus: Cause I’m doing my thing
Track Name: Music
Music is the song I’m singing
Music is the way I’m giving
Music gives my life the meaning
Music makes my world go round

Music is the healer for me
Music is the love that I need
Music is a friend I turn to
Music understands me

Chorus: Yeah

Music is the space I pray in
Music is God blessing me
Music is the place I go to
When the world is stressing me

Music is the sea I swim in
Music waves wash over me
Music is the point I dream of
When I close my eyes to sleep

Chorus: Yeah

Music takes me to a world
Where I am happy, I am free
Music is the One I turn to
Music lives inside of me
Track Name: Please Comeback
I’m tired of being lonely
Even when you’re near
I’m tired of always fighting - so tired

The years have passed by
And yet we’re still together tonight
Arguing, bickering
Where did all the love we share go

Please come back
Please come back
Love our love
Please come back

I’m tired of always hiding
Even from myself
I’m tired of all the lies we’ve told us - so tired

The years have passed by
Yet we’re still alone tonight
Words of pain, tears of hate
When did all the love we share die
Track Name: Love
You’re eyes are closed
You’re next to me
Our fingers touching
Don’t fall a sleep
I want to see you nude in the moonlight
The shore is empty, this time its right

Cause you are the one for me
Baby can you see
We were meant to be
This is destiny

Our lips are tender
Our bodies close
Our hearts reaching
Who could give the most, thoughts are dancing slow
Our thighs now meet, our souls are singing, harmony sweet

Yes you are the one for me
We were meant to be
Love is in so deep
This is destiny


Love is so sweet.
Track Name: I Like that...
I like that...
Track Name: Soul Comfort
Soul comfort...
Track Name: Dream
Here are your thoughts
Here is your soul
Here is the time
Here is the goal
Here is your gift
Here is your light
There is the moon and
This is the night

So what’s your desire dear?
Write it down here
Make sure its clear
This is a prayer - Yeah
Now don’t you be afraid - No no no
The power lies within the body
Hold that picture in your mind
Now close your eyes
And realize
You’ll be alright
Its starting

Chorus
So let go
And soar… spread your wings and fly away
Let go
And realize
You’ll be alright
No need to fight
Its starting

Here is your dream
Here is your life
Here is the truth and
Here is the lie
Here is your high
Here is your low
There is a way… but
Before you go

What’s your desire dear?
Write it down here
Hold it so near
Make this is your prayer - Yeah
Now don’t you be afraid- No no no
Dreams only live within your body
Hold that picture in your mind
Now close your eyes
And realize
You’ll be alright
Its starting
Track Name: Spring Rain Featuring Mike Ibrahim
Inner falls
Search my soul
My silent soul

Inner lights
Need the sound of father sun before I find my way
In a spring rain
I was born

In this body
Nature's body
I've found my soul
It's angels' party… in my body
We'll dance with timeless soul
In spring rain

On my hands
Water's falling in the forest inside of me
I'm already too far
And the sky sends its light for me
To clear my eyes
Track Name: James Donovan
This world shun your light
Was too bright for its eyes
Left you to grope around
In darkness
Over the years
You fought for your right
To give to receive love
Now you leave us return to the light
Body lies in the grave
No more life - no more pain.
Track Name: My Brother
My brother
I’m writing this
To tell you I love you
You showed me what true friendship means

This life is rough
But knowing you has made me better
You shared your strength

And I want you to know
Brother
You help me to grow
I thank you
Where ever you go
Always be/stay true

Sitting here
Thinking of
Tough times I came through
You were there, helped me make it through

This life gets rough
But knowing you has made me stronger
You shared your faith
Track Name: The Light:)
Let the sun shine in
Move to the Light
Relaxation…

Feel the power
Nature’s power
Healing power

Make my step
Light and swift
So I can move to the Light

Light my path
Show me now
So I can get to the Light

Let my heart
Open wide
And I will move to the Light

Accept my gifts
Bless my soul
I’ve got to move in the Light

Let the Sun shine in
Track Name: Peace & Blessings
May you laugh loudly with all your heart and soul
Ancestors grant us love
May you bless each life you touch along your path
May you overcome your pain

Chorus
Peace be unto you
Blessings in all you do

May prosperity forever be a friend of yours
Ancestors light our way
May your demons cease to scream and bring you fear
May they inspire you to grow

Chorus
Peace be unto you
Blessings in all you do

May the raindrops continue to caress your soul
Ancestors grant us peace
May you always climb the mountain of your dreams
May happiness surround you

Chorus
Peace be unto you
Blessings in all you do
Track Name: Ones of Old
The glow of 7 white candles
A circle of sea salt
Ancient words to open earth’s doors
1 drum beat dancing outside
You’ve fallen in a trance

Oh life’s burning with desire
Oh I’m speaking with the Ones of Old
Oh I’m filled with new meanings
High above this world I go
I’m seeing with new eyes now

An alter in the woods
A life misunderstood
4 symbols start with air
Water cleanse me, earth remake
Fire give me life
