Chillingly Good Fall Music

The Little Black Dress of my Fall Music Collection

Music is a big part of who I am, and there's no denying it...as the seasons change, so does my taste in music. By the time the October air is creeping through my window I'm reaching for darker, more sensual lyrics, music that calms and soothes me, music that inspires me...mood music. One thing that never changes autumn season after autumn season is my craving for three albums in particular. I can't get through the cold months without them...they have a different affect on me year in, year out...they all have tracks to inspire and invoke to calm and to arouse ;)... I invite you to take a listen

• Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head: From start to finish this album has a little of everything. EVERY single track is good!!! Most of all, I love it because of the incredible combination of lyrics & production. This band definitely has a way with words and the instrument work is phenomenal. An air of cool rock & roll glam permeates throughout this album and inspires through the speakers. Track #7 Green Eyes is one of the most beautiful love songs (the guitar is amazing), #3God Put a Smile Upon your Face always gets me amped before going out on the town, and #11 Amsterdam is always great on a Sunday afternoon ;) .


• Mary J Blige:My Life: R & B is another one of my fall fav's as far as musical genres go. I love soulful music you can feel, and this is Mary at her realest. I love the raw lyrics and the intenseness of the sound. Track after track these songs deliver. Besides classics like I'm Going Down and Mary Jane (All Night Long), the vintage R&B sound of track #5 I'm the Only Woman and #15 Mary's Joint is gritty and sexy. Even the interludes on this album are hot!


• Sade: The Best of Sade: This album is the quintessential mood maker. Sade's voice is so unbelievably entrancing. There's a couple upbeat classics like Paradise, and Sweetest Taboo, but the real gems are in tracks 11 and beyond. These are laced together with a very sensual exotic sound and lyrics that are hauntingly sexy. My fav's, #12 Like a Tattoo and #15 Cherish the Day; they just don't make songs this sexy anymore ;(.

Music is the greatest mood maker there is...set the tone for your fall and winter days and nights with some music you can't live without; music that inspires you or puts you in a mood only it can! I surely can't live without these!!! LOVE
