Mr. Jukes - Animated Music Video - music by Grant Green ft. Charles Bradley

The Indies Network would like to give more tribute to the late great soul singer Charles Bradley with a song he recorded for Mr. Jukes' debut album titled God First. Charles Bradley passed away on September 23, 2017, just months after Mr. Jukes album was released.

Just below is the animated music video to Track #5 titled Grant Green, which is a mix of samples from jazz guitar great Grant Green's recording of the James Brown penned song titled Ain't It Funky Now. Mr. Jukes brought in Charles Bradley to sing atop his mix and the result is awesome and something that both Grant Green and James Brown would love.

This stellar music video and animation was produced by Strange Beast and was directed Anna Ginsburg and Parallel Teeth.

Marshmello ft. Khalid - Silence (Official Lyric Video)

Lyrics to Silence by Marshmello and Khalid

Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter
'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort
All this time, I've been hiding
And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
I'm so used to sharing
Love only left me alone
But I'm at one with the silence
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
I'm in need of a savior, but I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it
I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long

Welcome to Wonderland Simbi
Trust in your intuition

What a wizard I am, bitch I'm the man
Don't be scared give me your hand
Take you to Wonderland
Man this really ain't in the plan, but fuck all your plans
Let's go
(Come here)

Wolves howl and any hour cross 'em, and they'll devour you in a second
Better mind how you walk through
Making it out alive is something to hope to
On my life there's wonder and terror and beauty and danger
Independent here on my own still doing it major
Here you cannot be on the phone so do me a favour
W-w-wait, slow down
Rabbit holes where it goes down
Do not interrupt the flow now
Look at me
Eyes peeled, know that you're gonna be healed
I've been down in nitty-gritty and stayed in the Hills
I've been all over the world now but never to chill
Been exposed to finer things and Italian meals
What a change

Wonderland is amazing, ain't it? (Ain't it?)
Been partying for days on the same shit (Same shit)
Never mind who I came with
Man I never ever want to leave, let me stay lit
Let me stay

I know you're quite the dreamer
Be careful, this could end up being your reality

What a wizard I am, bitch I'm the man
Don't be scared give me your hand
Take you to Wonderland
Man this really ain't in the plan, but fuck all your plans
Let's go

Wonderland is amazing, ain't it?
Never ever want to leave, let me stay lit
I've been partying for days on the same shit
Never mind never mind who I came with

Picture perfect, ain't picture perfect
Colours of the images are inverted
All for a purpose, I say this shit loud and clear for you all I know you heard it
I know you learning ways of this place and you show your concerns
And I understand how you feel, but fuck how you feel
You can only eat if you hunt and are you willing to kill
Mercy is never shown and damn it, it's all I've known
Remember to pay your debts, this shit is some Game of Thrones
All I wanna know is right now is you with me?
Come fuck with me here there's no love for you in the city
I can show you magic I swear this shit is so trippy
Only you can have it let's make a deal quick
On some real shit
All it takes is for you to hear and to feel this

What a wizard I am, bitch I'm the man
Don't be scared give me your hand
Take you to Wonderland
Man this really ain't in the plan, but fuck all your plans
Let's go

Wonderland is amazing, ain't it?
Never ever want to leave, let me stay lit
I've been partying for days on the same shit
Never mind, never mind who I came with
Eat, hunt, kill
Wonderland is amazing, ain't it?
Never ever want to leave, let me stay lit
I've been partying for days on the same shit
Never mind, never mind who I came with

Idyl - Music Video covering Aaliyah's "Try Again"

The Indies generally steers clear of featuring cover songs, but this is a worthy exception. A emerging French artist known as Idyl did a tasty acoustic version of "Try Again", a song that was originally released by the recording artist Aaliyah on February 22, 2000, less than two years before she tragically died at age 22, exactly 16 years ago today on August 25, 2001.

The song was written by Static Major (R.I.P.) and Timothy Mosley (known professionally as Timbaland). The song was produced for Aaliyah by Timbaland, who also appeared in the video. Aaliyah's version of "Try Again" reached number one on several radio airplay and sales charts, including #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. There have been numerous artists who have covered the song since that time.

The music video to the interpretation below, by Idyl, was executive produced by Shimera Films, directed by Jali with Julien Cherpion as Cinematographer.

Fans of Aaliyah have never forgotten her and have propelled her to new heights since her death. She is listed by Billboard magazine as the tenth most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years and 27th most successful R&B artist in history. She will be forever missed, and her music never forgotten.
