You’ve heard of blue-eyed soul, now I introduce to you blue-eyed neo-soul. My pick for the week is Remy Shand. What makes him so special is not that he’s white, but the fact that he plays every instrument in this song, and on his album…
[Take A Message by Remy Shand]
My second choice is non other than Erykah Badu, there is no way I can play Neo-soul and not mentioned my fellow Dallas-ite Ms. Badu. This song is my favorite song by Erykah, I hate the video, but I love the words to the songs. This is the song that encourages me and gets me through whenever I’m at a crossroad… Here are some of the lyrics:
Time to save the world; Where in the world is all the time
So many things I still don’t know; So many times I’ve changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes; But I ain’t scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path; I know my heart will guide me back
[Didn't Cha Know by Erykah Badu]

Forgive me if you get 2 comments but my ISP is having a snit fit today and is slower than a 20 year old dial-up!
Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to a new music style! It’s great for martini hour!

Great picks! I assume that Badu will be popular today! I watched Remy’s video last night but decided to choose someone else!
Have a great holiday weekend!
