I was sorry to hear of the death of Whitney Houston. Seems like a tragic end to a gifted talent plagued by personal demons. A few things come to my mind. I remember Elvis Costello doing a guest VJ stint on MTV back in the day, and he played a Whitney Houston video and his comment was something like, Whitney you have an amazing voice, but those songs... let me write you some songs. Later she did a Dolly Parton song and helped bring that song to a wider audience.
Today I shuffled songs from my playlist of artists who have been featured on this blog. Currently that playlist stands at 133 songs with some more music waiting in the wings.
First up is Aubergine with a song from their Soundcloud account called Aubergine, we means Eggplant or the dark purple color of the same.
Aubergine by The Hunting Accident
