WORDS OF LOVE is a collection of melodic offerings weaving lyrical imagery that is daring, clever, enticing , entertaining and haunting as it bounces from tension to resolution. The opening track is also the title of the album and it is a fitting introduction to the sequence of love scenarios.

The sincere uttering of devotion express a heart immersed in making a partner the ultimate priority. However , the noble sentimentst come crashing down in WHERE IS YOUR LOVE? as the truth of a toxic cycle leads to yet another break up.

It is not clear who is at fault but it is certainly a moment of that must be faced. " I been looking for love in wrong places, been falling in love with pretty faces" says a soul, that has given up on fixing things and is about to catch a train from the pain. Delivered in accapella, it wanders through the wilderness of regrets like a restless ghost.

However a new love awaits. As if by split personality our tragic hero shows a side of profound concern, wisdom, understanding and support towards this new dejected soul.

No stone is left unturned in the gallant effort to coax a sunny day out of the stormy weather . EXPRESS YOURSELF is the message .

At first it is a whisper to one woman...but it grows into a sermon to "Beverly, Sonia , Mathilda, Gloria, Angela, Elizabeth and Hilda". The sermon morphs into a message for the brothers to do protect their loved one. " From the hurricane you gotta help her find a shelter, no matter if yu a musician, builder, or welder".

Safe from the hurricane zone, the city lights, the clubs and the cab ride home, are the backdrop to an unfolding succesful one night stand. NATURAL NATURE recounts the exploits of a seasoned seducter who is, "In total control like Fidel Castro bagging a trophy attractive beyond J Lo.

On a different day, a diffrent girl invites him for dinner. He accepts. With great restraint he focuses on the meal but cant keep his thoughts from the bedroom and the pillows. He makes it through the evening respectfully but vows in his heart that he will get to know her better and then TOUCH DOWN .

Her presence on social media does not make things any easier and he cant help falling for her CUTE AND RUDE photographs. It gets so bad he declares "Splish for my splash, I stop smoking hash, instead I get high on your titty and your ass".

She finally lets him fulfill his dreams and he detonates like a viagra bomb and gallops across her prairie like a BAREBACK RIDER. All gloves are off as the love battle goes from the bed, to the living room, to the couch and the porch. Its not clear who is punishing who, but both seem keen on the punishment. The war is so it becomes a public spectacle keeping the neighourhood awake and he hands "out earplugs to one and all and I reload my love revolver"

Out of the blue, when least expected, this special woman blows away every pain and our hero is IN LOVE AGAIN. No part of the universe is left out of the story. The rain, the sand, a piggy back run on the beach, the weed, the wine,the walk in the forest all blend "into a new adventure starting in the heart " .

It was supposed to only be a friendship, but the love is now such that even when deep doubts surface, he is certain that TRUE LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL. She is not convinced. He respects her decision to take a break. The faith pays off when she realises that a man of such wisdom is exactly who she is looking for. back together again, SAY YOUR LOVE WILL LAST FOREVER brings us full circle to the sentiment expressed in the title track.

This time the love has come to stay as PICTURE PERFECT YOU confirms. Nothing can stop love and its time to tell all the brothers how fantastic she is. Its obvious that she is the source of ever lasting bliss as She BUBBLES UP AND BUBBLES DOWN. Love has changed our hero and when he revisits the exploits of NATURAL NATURE it is done to a reggae rythm- as if to declare that the whole world is now under a new kingdom.

Now there is no looking back. Love is in the heart and money is in the bank. Its time to get away. No need to pack a suitcase because "we be travelling light and the credit card is heavy". Heavy enough for an engagement ring, a taxi ride to the airport and flights to PLACES WE CAN GO AND THINGS THAT WE CAN DO.

Never forgeting the roots, her sunny disposition is compared to Rita Marley and the everlasting harmonies of Peter, Bob and Bunny. There is nothing left to do, but to marry her . After all they have been through and after all they had to work out, in spite of poverty and racism, his choice is clear. She is resilient,she is vulnerable, she is beautiful, she is royal, she is righteous, she is smart, she is Black...She is SOFT AND STRONG and she can break the chains of the world.
