Honk MagazinePublished 3 years ago in BeatRnB singer-songwriter, show-stopping performer - Sofia Evangelina
Endure is not just a song, it's a mentality, and more so, a declaration of survival. The song's lyrics feature many of artist's personal stories morphed into picturesque metaphors, so vivid that you could almost create mini-film scenes from each. 'Endure' is not about feeling the victory to overcome evil, not yet. At the moment of facing the evil, you are deciding whether you are going to cave and give in to the hell or if you will put up a fight cause you know that you were made for more. This is that fight song dedicated to the testament of the human spirit and that lust of strength we muster to endure through the treacherous moment that encaves us. Produced by Roy Hamilton III (Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Monica, Joe... )

She’s probably best remembered as Mick Jagger’s 1960s girlfriend. Or the “girl wrapped in the fur rug” at the 1967 house party when the Rolling Stones were famously busted for drugs. Or the ethereal blonde beauty who was a muse to the best rock and roll band in the world when they were at their peak. But Marianne Faithfull is far more than an ex-concubine to a classic rock god. She’s an accomplished singer, songwriter, actress, and author in her own right.
Kathy Copeland PaddenPublished 3 years ago in BeatDone Overthinking with Fringe Mellow
Done Overthinking is a reflection of thoughts. I'm not sure exactly what was going on in my head when I wrote this one. I simply followed Henry into the studio and began writing as he started constructing an instrumental. I like making music this way because if the lyrics come together as the beat does, I think you get something that is more in sync with the mood and feel. I have written songs before to suit a developed instrumental and I think I translate its mood and vibe well however I think there is something special in writing at the same time as someone on a track. Henry was experimenting with sounds that seemed very open, free form, and fluid.

The Power Of Music
I have always been, and continue to be, a music tragic. Pop me in a nightclub that plays those good old pop/rock tunes of the 1980's and 1990's, and I'm so in my element. I'd be front and centre on the dancefloor, with a vodka in my hand, singing at the top of my lungs. If there's a stage to dance on in that club, I'd be up dancing on that, probably after downing a few vodkas though. Sadly, as I continue to age, those days of going out nightclubbing are becoming far and few, and what's worse is, the minimal number of clubs around that actually play that sort of music nowadays anyway. These days, it's all about dance and trance, and personally that's not the genre of music that inspires or thrills me. One thing is for sure, we all have our own different tastes in music. From classical, to jazz, to country, to pop, to rock, to dance, to trance, to blues, to reggae, to soul, to R and B, to funk, to hip hop, to you name it, there are so many different genres of music to choose from, that we are guaranteed to find a certain style of music that appeals to us. We should never underestimate the power of music, and what a blessing it is to have in life. I indicated above one aspect of this power that music possesses, and that is the fact it can bring us happiness. Dancing in a nightclub, singing at the top of my lungs to songs that I love, being played at an extremely loud volume, isn't the only avenue of happiness that music brings me. During my school years, the only times I could ever concentrate on my homework was when I had music playing, to help inspire me, and keep me interested. For some reason it just helped me to focus better. I've been a drummer since primary school, and I absolutely love every opportunity to be hopping behind a drum kit. When hopping in the shower, I have my Spotify playlist blaring away, as I sing along whilst having a wash. Every evening, whilst doing my work, I place a set of headphones over my ears and crank some tunes up on full blast, whilst my daughter sleeps. One of the most satisfying experiences I have in life though is when I hit the open country road in the car, driving away with my favourite songs playing out loud. I could drive for miles doing this.
