Read MoreIf I had to give one word for what Matthew Mole is doing on the music front the word that springs to mind: RESPECT.
I totally have respect for his authenticity and originality. He makes honest music and that's hard to resist.
Congratulations on your SAMA nomination. A definite winner in my book.

Intro:
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
My Darling please don’t cry
Everything’s gonna be just fine
[V1]
All the tears I have kept
Through the nights I have wept
While the whole world slept
I was left to accept
How I felt so trapped
And just couldn’t adapt
Quintessential love potential that was left untapped
Deep inside I felt these cards I was dealt
Was the reason that the freezing around my heart don’t melt
All the years I had built on the pain and guilt
All alone I felt, so alone I dwelt
Then you walked in!
In my life you stepped
Gave me reason to believe in, you timed perfect
All the pain that crept and gripped was swept
Work of art, from the start for my heart you leapt
[CHORUS]
Call my name and I will reply
Give you wings when you want to fly
Be your love when your love is dry
Loving you like tears from the sky
Nothing too deep or too high
Can come between you and I
My darling please don’t you cry
Send you my tears from the sky
[V2]
So much weight on my back I was ready to crack
Taken so much flack that I can’t turn back
When they don’t know jack, got to give’ em what they lack
Yo I can’t be wack, yo I can’t have that
Keep my mind on track and be true to the fact
When I rip it straight to ‘em gonna cut no slack
Cos the only defense I’ve known is attack
Cause a pure wreck every sec that I’m gonna get
Thought the choice that I made was difficult
Putting up with everybody’s insult
But when you choose to be salt, the result:
Lyrical assault coming from my lyric vault
To catapult no fault, Love ultimate
You hypocrite better quit and deal with it
True or false?
Feel your pulse there ain’t no one else
I will lift you swift when your heart’s adrift
[CHORUS]
[V3]
Everything will be alright, let me see you smile
Brighten up this dark world like a little child
Anything worthwhile is worth the extra mile
Don’t you wish you knew then what you know now?
How long do you wish to walk this road alone?
Carrying this very heavy heart of stone
We belong in a bond that can look beyond
So I’m sending out my voice, hoping you’ll respond!
With the pain from the past all torn in half
As we bathe in the rain let me see you laugh
All I need for the path will be all you have
Hold fast, firm grasp found my joy at last
Can’t walk around hopeless, feeling worthless
So don’t cry I’ll cry for the both of us
The purpose, endless will be you and I
As I cry my tears from the sky
[OVERLAPPED – FEMALE VOCAL]
Never wanna hear a good-bye
Never want to feel your heart sigh
My darling why o’ why
Is it always me you deny?
Why can’t you give us a try?
Never want to see my love cry
My darling dry your eyes
As I open the skies
[CHORUS]

SAMRO
The Arockalypse Band
I love all kinds of music and I love to hear about musicians doing it for themselves. So when a friend asked me to help them put the word out about their upcoming show, I was all in.
aROCKalypse (Which is a play on the word Apocalypse and Rock) is a show that pays tribute to the rock legends of the late 60's to the early 80's.
My personal favourites in their show were Sweet Home Alabama and to hear the crowd join in when they start singing Sugar Man. It was totally worth it.
This Rock Show was sold out last year and is already shaping up to be bigger and better this time around. So if you live in or are around the East London area this upcoming weekend don't miss out.
Date: 6th - 8th February 2014
Venue: Alexander PlayHouse
Start Time: 19:00pm
Pre-purchase your tickets at Lee Gold Music or purchase on the day at the door.
For more details check out my dedicated page to their show by clicking here.

Musician, Producer and Songwriter BK
Exclusive interview with BK. Join us as BK unpacks a few of his thoughts around
The Sweet Science EP.
1. What is the Sweet Science EP about and what inspired you to write it?
This EP is an experimental portrayal of self-expression and introspection. It was inspired by when I caught myself mapping out my plans for music and love; it's an expression of balance and wholeness between my music life and my love life.
2. What is your favourite track on the EP and why?
My favourite track is Strangers. That song really speaks what I'm feeling right now. Once again I'm in a 'Strangers' mood.
3. What are you working on currently and what can we expect from BK in the near future?
One thing that many people don't understand about me is the fact that I can't pick a favourite genre. I love good music and if it speaks to me, it speaks to me. So what I'm working on is a different genre/expression wherein I'm once again writing my heart out, but to a different groove... I'm working with a very acoustic set and I'm excited about the stuff that is being created. Expect to hear the song of my soul... My heart on my sleeve and my love for music
4. What are your thoughts on the latest music being released right now?
Justin Timberlake... What else can I say? 20/20 Experience part 2 is just another reason why that guy is my hero. He is, for me, the benchmark for excellence, whether in the actual music or the marketing thereof... Matt Corby is another eye opener for me. His technique is impeccable. Those are the two names that I have to mention. Beyond that, music is crazy right now. The production that they put into these songs, man... The vocalists and their tone and dynamics are just madness. So even though there are some songs that need to spend time in a furnace, some lyrics that should really not be allowed out there and videos that make one cringe, musically, the landscape is changing... It's about to get real

One of my pet hates is when people use the saying: "It's nothing personal it's strictly business." and they say it to hide their own selfishness and greed.

Do you agree with musicians of influence calling themselves gods?

I love listening to interviews and I listen to a lot of them. You can learn a wealth of information just by listening to a discussion between two people. (I guess that's why Oprah is rich!)
