A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Now this is track hits the spot... just what I needed to hear. Refreshing... I love the unorthodox, harmonic chords you composed on the spanish guitar. Nice one and a well deserved top 100 spot. Hope it goes even higher... Well done!

I can see why this has been placed in the soundclick top 100 for sure.
Love the intro with the guitars and the mellow backing, beautiful blending together.
Wow then that beat drops real subtle and actually sounding like something I could actually rap over :) Very well crafted blend of sounds and all come together to make that "Summer" feel indeed. Keep up the great work Mr Grant and thanks for getting in touch.

Great intro as always from you my friend!
Very cool and solid groove with some exuisit chord-progressions!
Has a Spanish flare to it. Great sounding guitar with high feel in play. Great break at 3.00 mark.
Solid drumwork all over the track!
Pro work!

Extremely good Arlen…Incredible clarity in the mix and your Spanish guitar play is just what is needed for any day in my book. Top shelf work as usual.
So good how you did the panning with the guitar. The bass line is so perfect. I really like this one. For sure one of my favorites of yours. Yeah for me, this is a cut above, really nice beauty in this one.
