#OnRepeat: Gregory Porter's "Don't Lose Your Steam"

This week, I've had Gregory Porter's "Don't Lose Your Steam" #OnRepeat. I've written about Gregory Porter before (for good reason), but I have to write about him again because he has a new album coming out soon.

Just a refresher (or in case there are still people out there who still aren't familiar with this musician), Gregory Porter is a singer-songwriter and actor who won the Grammy in 2014 for Best Jazz Vocal Album for his Liquid Spirit album. His mixes Jazz, Soul, Funk and R&B  and his tone is reminiscent of Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers, and Nat King Cole. Even though he won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, it's not realistic (and frankly difficult) to categorize Gregory into any real musical genre. Whenever I think of Gregory Porter, I think of him as a musician, performer, and a vocalist.

"Don't Lose Your Steam" is a song that Gregory wrote for his son. His lyrics, like always, are poignant and poetic, conveying the universal message of hope for the future generation. One thing that I have always enjoyed about Gregory Porter's writing is the fact that he can come up with catchy melodies that you find yourself humming long after you've finished listening to the song. There isn't much left to be said about this fantastic musician; I would much rather you take a listen to this new song and buy the album, Take Me to the Alley, as soon as it is available. 

Here is the song below:
