Amy Winehouse | Love is a losing game

Reflections on a Jazz revelation.

I never latched on to Amy Winehouse when she was still alive. I thought she was hyped too much at the time. Her music was too subtle to reach me thru the noise of the crowd. Only after her death, once the hubbub had died down, I started to listen to her voice, her way of singing, her lyrics & music.

Suthukazi Arosi | Black and White

Youtube video by Suthukazi Arosi

BLACK AND WHITE is a song about us - human beings with all the hatred that has turned against all humanity for centuries. Civilised as we are but still dwelling on racism. God created us all with love and so beautifully without seeing any colour but embracing colour as his creation. The song is calling on all human beings to stop this mentality that is tearing us up - and our beautiful planet - from generation to generation.
