Remix phenom DJ Soulchild is back with his latest bop, adding his talents to Anthony Hamilton’s “Best Of Me.” The song initially appeared on Hamilton’s 2011 album Back to Love. Best Of Me is a heartfelt ballad about giving one’s all in a romantic relationship. It talks about a deep and profound love where Hamilton is willing to give his best and go above and beyond for his partner.
The lyrics express a desire to be a better person, constantly improve, and grow to provide the utmost love and care. Simply put, the song signifies the commitment and dedication one can have for one’s significant other, showcasing the depth of emotions and efforts they are willing to invest in the relationship.
DJ Soulchild changes up the tempo, creating something for the dance floor. The grove is infectious, with Soulchild creating a vibe that could quickly become a staple at weddings for a line dance featuring the wedding party.
Many people draw parallels between love and dancing, where the individual relinquishes control of the rhythm of the music. DJ Soulchild has transformed a romantic ballad into an infectious groove, urging his audience to get up and move their bodies on the dance floor.

This weekend is about celebrating the King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson, and his legacy. For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I wanted to highlight his debut solo album, “Got To Be There,” which was released on January 24th, 1972.
Fifteen years after his untimely passing, the King of Pop’s music continues to resonate with us, a testament to its timeless appeal. As we honor his heavenly birthday this past Thursday, I wanted to pay tribute to him with ‘Loving You’ for this week’s Slow Jam Saturday.
When we reminisce about the potential of lead singers who could have been iconic solo acts, the name Sisqó immediately springs to mind. The front man for R&B quartet Dru Hill, Sisqó, stormed onto the scene in 1999 with his solo debut ‘Unleash the Dragon.’ The success of the singles ‘Incomplete’ and ‘Thong Song’ propelled Sisqó’s solo debut to sell a staggering five million copies in the US alone, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.
