Much of the music I’ve put on
here is pretty, melodic, beautiful and kind of sad, so I thought damn I need to
put some happy music for a change because sometimes you need to give your
writing some pep… and about 2 seconds into thinking of an option, I thought of
Bobby McFerrin.
For years, I’d been curious to
listen to more of Bobby McFerrin seeing as he is a jazz vocalist who uses his
voice and body as his instrument but it wasn’t until this year because of a
random documentary I saw that the itch to listen to Bobby really kicked in.
I’ve seen dozens of videos and bought two albums and can safely say that if you
need something quirky to dip your mojo in, he’s a great option.
Although far from a McFerrin
expert, his songs do have a tendency to invite me to smile, especially some
tracks on the underrated Bang Zoom!
His music is often light,
whimsical, utterly creative, and joyful… and if that’s what you want in your
writing, might as well invite all senses to join in the fun.
