Hello my friends!

How are we doing this week? Hopefully you’re still couping with this autumn madness. I can’t believe it’s already November! Time flies when you are having fun, and we have arrived to my seventh show here on Laid Back.

Due to a very stressful and busy couple of weeks, I didn’t have the time or the energy to record a “proper” show for LMS 7, which I do apologise for, but I did manage to put together a little selection of songs that are rather enjoyable.

The José James interpretation/cover of John Coltrane’s Equinox is a personal favourite of mine. Although I adore the original, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Josè’s version. I was going through a rather difficult time in my life where I decided I was going to give up music, and out of nowhere, I got hold of that song, and not trying to sound to sappy, it did make me fall in love with music all over again. I first heard Josè’s version when I saw him live for the first time last year, and it truly was one of the most magical moments (music wise) of my life. It was released as a white label on Brownswood Recordings, and if you are one of the lucky few who managed to get your hands on a copy, I envy you!

I also included two songs from one of my favourite mixes of all times, Bullion’s “Mixed up in love vol.1“. I discovered “Our lives are shaped by what we love” by Odyssey and “In the name of love” by Kenny Rankin through that mix, but I still haven’t managed to find the version of the Kenny Rankin song that is used anywhere which is slightly annoying, but also a reason why I have listened to the mix about 100 times. If you haven’t heard or downloaded the mix, I strongly recommend you to do so! And if you didn’t get your hands on “Mixed Up In Love vol.2“, get that one as well!

Right, I think that is enough musical treats in one go. Don’t forget to tune in to my special edition sexy show that is coming up shortly. It is a killer and will definitely turn up the temperature! Until next time, take care!

Much Love,

Orsii
