Bruce on the mend
 ⏰

We haven’t shared widely, but Bruce is on the mend from a super scary health crisis.  We will share more as the journey unfolds, but for now, know that we are keeping as much of our content going as possible (through classic clips on Sundays and a guest host–our daughter, Zandalee Indigo–for Gab & Jam). Thank you to all the folks who have checked in on him recently. We appreciate your kind words and prayers.

New season
 đŸŒ·

Even given current circumstances, we are moving forward with releasing the LONG overdue “Daylight” music video. After all, every day around here is a blessing and this idea is what the spirit of the message was meant to reflect. So, be sure to check THAT out as a lovely “start your day” song. Here’s our “Start Your Day” Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3Oajv8b

“We don’t care to win awards.” đŸŽ¶

If you’re a former Prince fanatic–like us đŸ€Ș–you will recognize this lyric from the song, “Dance, Music, Sex, Romance” (1982). –And, yes, though we’re not in it to win awards, it has REALLY been nice to have been nominated for one recently.  Our song,“So Restless,” was nominated for LMCB Awards 2023 in the Afrique category  (https://bit.ly/lmcdawardnom23 ).  We’re happy about that and the fact that received a magazine feature from Aldora Britain e-Zine feature on Bourgeoisie Paper Jam! https://bit.ly/bpjaldorabritblog  And in a topper to this whole first part of this year has been that our song, “Merry Christmas to you, Baby” was used by Brandtrack as a “Business Overhead Radio”: https://bit.ly/merryprejippie  We feel really blessed to have been acknowledged by anybody, so while getting accolades has never been the goal, we graciously celebrate all that we have received. đŸ™đŸœ
