Life Sounds Better To Music ~ October 2020
Life Sounds Better To Music ~ October 2020 is a bit of a bumper month. We start with three tracks that speak to the world we find ourselves in. Then two more for the dance floor, and two more that have touched me in different ways.
Stevie Wonder ~ “Can’t Put It In The Hands Of Fate” and “Where Is Our Love Song”
Stevie Wonder is BACK! Following his kidney transplant last year, he’s actually just released two tracks “Can’t Put It in The Hands Of Fate” featuring Rhapsody, Cordae, Chika and Busta Rhymes, and “Where Is Our Love Song” which features Gary Clark Jr. This is the first new material in four years, and he’s hinting at a new album, the first since 2005.
And here is Stevie with a little bit of “Love’s In Need Of Love Today” and a message for us all.
Fiorious ~ Follow Me (Roger Sanchez Extended Remix)
This is a new version of a 1992 track by Aly-Us. If I remember correctly it was the first track played on JFSR (Jazz Funk Soul Radio) when it launched in 2010. This version by Fiorious on Glitterbox is remixed by House Music legend Roger Sanchez who also did a remix of the original.
BTS ~ Dynamite
I’ve possibly come a bit late to this one because it entered the British chart last month and peaked at number 3. Every time the Samsung advert comes on it brightens my evening – 2020 is such a mad year!!!
BTS are a K-pop (Korean pop band) who have been doing quite well globally but wanted to do better, so they released this fabulous track from British songwriter and producer David Stewart (not The Eurythmics guy) and former UK pop star Jessica Agombar and the rest is history.

Sleepwalkrs ~ More Than Words (feat. MNEK)
Following on from the Joel Corey collaboration I posted in July (CLICK HERE) here’s another fab track featuring MNEK. When I saw the title I thought it might be a new reworking of the Extreme hit, but it isn’t, it’s a brand new track.
Crowded House ~ Whatever You Want
I’m a huge Crowded House fan, they were one of the bands I was due to see this year before everything got cancelled. Now there’s a new album to look forward to and this is the new single.
… and one for luck
Ben Rector ~ The Thanksgiving Song
I’ve been a Ben Rector fan for quite a while … I think since 2013, when I heard “Life Keeps Moving On” late one night on the Bob Harris Show when I was travelling home from a wedding. “The Thanksgiving Song” is a great song on a similar theme. CLICK HERE for an interesting article.
That’s Life Sounds Better To Music ~ October 2020, rather a strange mix of songs, but these are strange times.
Take care, stay safe and thanks for reading this ~ mug of tea raised ~ cheers! x
