It's all right now
Hit the ground, baby
Take your veil down
See your eyes in mine
Leave the rest behind
Hit the ground, baby,
'Cause I want to love you now
Hit the ground, baby
I said it's all right now
Hit the ground, baby
You're gonna make it somehow
Baby, why so lonely?
The day has just begun
Hit the ground baby
Hit the ground and run
See your eyes in mine
Leave the rest behind
Hit the ground, baby
Hit the ground and run
Hit the ground, baby
Hit the ground and run
solid 8
Today is my introduction to Lizz Wright, a fabulous offering from RP. She's smooth as Lena Horn.
Same here! Thanx RP!
LOVE her voice! Like velvet
I Agree!
LLRP
Like someone combined Mavis Staples and K.D. Lang. Beautiful.
Yes! Thank you, RP, for the countless sublime moments you provide. This being one of them.
melancholy day and this just fits
I may slow dance with the SO when I get home...
100% agreed...and I'll go +1 to 9 in advance of letting my wife hear it knowing she'll like it too.
Long Live RP and marvelous musical moments!!
Add that to your list of things about which you needn't worry.
Thank you for finally revealing the meaning of that word to me.
Marvellous stuff

When someone suggests you "hit the ground", it sounds much scarier than how 'bout a roll in the hay'!

Bill and Rebecca play what they like. Simple as that. Maybe they didn't like Ms. Wright's other offerings.

It's worse the amendment, that the sonnet. :-)) When you advocate for cause "home", you recompensest even more empty and opaque, a no-sense thing the concept "indie". And thanks for unwittingly you agree with me. You look out when someone suggests you something in music, when preceded by the designation "indie". And you accustomed yourself to the fact that there is something more here than children putting their dolls in pages for fun.
And still on the subject, you're not those, well behaved supporters of so-called "thought formatted"? I think not. :-)) Greetings.
Lizz Wright, 34 years old, is a American singer from Georgia, of exceptional talent and unusual quality. Very genuine. So here is represented in the RP with a single song "Hit The Ground" from the album "Dreaming Wide Awake" released in 2005.
Considering her 5 Albums published since 2003.
Why is? It is very gospel, blues? It is very R & B ?, is very jazz, soul? Not a very "formatted" singer for RP?
No. The problem is that even the RP that has innovative, independent and bold production, can not escape and overcome the greed of the modern trends and market "Indie". Even if the hybrid concept "Indie" actually, correspond to nothing, in particular. In music "Indie" corresponds a mystification, do not exist. It is a concept manufactured to create advantage, and demarcate the traditional "pop" art. So, "pop" is old, "Indie" is modern. Na.
It is therefore very different concepts created for convenience market ("Indie"), and concepts that are born in the "land" and gain respect - the pop -. So if we want to associate the term "Indie" (in the sense of "indigenous", "native", "traditional" "ancestor" "land"), we could only assign with some property, to the context of the songs currently produced in the American continent, to the music of traditional roots as the "Country" or "Americana" or even the Folk-traditional, and not the urban music and electronic slight of characteristics attributed to "pop".
And we could continue to see, singers and bands of great quality, which have a single song in RP, and try to understand why.

Firstly i want to salute you for having given a few moments of attention to this topic. It's healthy. But for me to follow your recommendation would have to share your vision "romantic" what is this radio station, or radio in general. Yes, that programming would be made to free taste of listeners. Not so exactly. Certainly there is an interrelation with the tastes and trends of the listener, and programming. The feedback, the rates, the criticisms and comments, and other indicators that do not have access (purchase intentions music, internal market priorities, interrelation with the Artists, Publishers, Distributors, etc.), and take into account factors like as RP geographical location, language (+95% english contents), ethical choices about content and lyrics of songs.
Also say that the schedule of RP contemplates one evolved, rigorous and sophisticated way to mix music, interweaving music with recognized and undisputed quality, but always integrated with the new trends of the market (and thus only makes sense that there is a radio station - interact with the market -).
The market, which is healthy and legitimate for artists, not the corporate market which aims intensively generate profits, with anything called "music". Sells, has an interest. Quality, what is it?
And programming the RP has to be so, is through healthy market, that artists "run" and offer their work, give concerts, do demonstrations, and in this way reach the general public. And the radio station play a crucial role in this process. If they are competent and demanding.
On the other hand, the enormous diversity of the music world requires that music, a radio station, the music appears mixed and intertwined, so be possible that out the best of each segment of the musical concepts. Otherwise it would create a "monster of the elites", unpopular and not comprehensive.
For a radio station fulfills its role the first condition is disclosure. Musicianship new, emerging artists. And the screen is the natural sensitivity of listeners who takes care of the rest. Though there are an ambivalence, and personal interest of the producers is also felt. The RP production follows a professional and studied matrix, is no coincidence.
It's an inconvenience but it is also a challenge that is accepted with pleasure like the beauty of uncertainty, but it is necessary to be available new songs, and new emerging artists, not having the outset, no certainty that will endure in the future.
If we look to the great number of new songs released in the last 10 years, only an average -10%, persisted in time (and I'm being generous and optimistic), but it is necessary that this process of "natural selection" is done. No one is absolutely sure of anything in advance, and there is no miracle recipes for designing new sounds or new songs. Often, we do not know themselves define precisely why we like this song, but no longer like another. Even between different songs by the same artist. Mysteries.
And, my dear friend of RP, i think that the RP does not need my own "stuff" to do the programming, since it has its own means of access to music, what me, a simple passionate of muisc and songs. And only that. Greetings.

Music transcends categories, there are two kinds of music
GOOD
and
BAD!
this is in the good column, thanks RP!
Not the same as Roberta Flack, but from a similar purity of space.
Unaffected and direct.
Love her vibe.
Nice post. Agree entirely. Can only imagine the atmosphere at a live performance of this. Goosepimples, I'll bet.
It's just a good song :)
Ray Lamontaigne is a young black woman?
What an odd way of looking at the world... I like this song regardless of it's externally applied labels.
Caught mine too,,,nice...
I don't think he's ever 100% serious in his posts; I think he's going more for some sort of humor. The posts seem more like "stream of consciousness" blurbs, but who knows?
I don't think he's kidding. Do you think people write what they really think here? If you do, I gotta bridge to sell ya. He's probably the only one who writes what he thinks. Why do written words bother people so much?? Am I the only one here who knows lots and lots of people in my life who say all kinds of things in conversation and at parties that make Stingray's writings seem harmless by comparison? I am a normal middle class guy who went to a normal school with normal typical people. I am as boring as they come. Yet I hear more controversial things in the elevator at work that what he writes. Here, someone says they don't like a song and all of the sudden it's THE END OF THE WORLD. geez.
Oh yesssss I love Lizz Wright. I have this album and still play it all the time. "The Orchard" is another one of my favourites but only this one track in the library? More please Bill?
I really hope you're kidding, but I suspect you aren't. Wow.

FAKE?
Voice does not fit the face!
Simplistic song - good voice (though there are 999 other black voices like hers).
