Mandaris"Corner of the Earth" by Jamiroquai
What song feels like a secret between you and the artist?
"Corner of the Earth" is that track for me. It's something that I subconsciously seek out when I feel my world is spinning out of control. It helps feel centered and get back "on track".
"Tightrope (feat. Big Boi)" by Janelle Monáe
What’s a hidden gem you wish more people knew about?
Tightrope by Janelle Monáe is a wonderful track on a great album.
I really enjoy this track because it has a lot of energy and range. Janelle has a great voice and you just get this feeling that you kind of have to dance no matter how low things can get. I feel that this is a great companion to "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen.
"Un-Break My Heart" by Toni Braxton
What song reminds you of your first heartbreak?
I actually don't have one specific to my first heartbreak but there is not that brings up that feeling and it's Un-Break My Heart by Toni Braxton. I think she's very talented and I don't hear a lot of talent with her voice in popular music.
But then again, I don't listen to a lot of popular music that isn't given to my by my family.
"Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie
Woke up and felt the whole world was on top of me.
