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.

One of the great things about buying a soundtrack when I was in my DJ prime was discovering a slow jam that I could put on my mix CDs. For this week’s Slow Jam Saturday, I wanted to highlight one of the songs: Jagged Edge’s cover of Air Supply’s, “All Out of Love.”
After twenty-six years in the game, Atlanta-based quartet Jagged Edge is currently on the road celebrating the anniversary of their magnum opus sophomore album, “J.E. Heartbreak,” with a tour titled “An Intimate Evening With Jagged Edge.” To kick off our seventh wedding anniversary celebration, my wife and I will be the D.C. date on the tour this coming Wednesday.
For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I wanted to travel back to 1999 and show some love to R&B group Amyth, which was initially signed to LL Cool J Rock the Bells Records. Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the group was formed in 1995 while the members were students at Southern University.
