Unsaid Things vol 3

Image
“Where My Silence Finally Chose Me.” There are things I never said. Not because I didn’t have the words… But because I saw where words went when I spoke them. Some fell on distracted ears. Some got reframed as complaints. Some came back dressed up as my fault. So I did something quieter than arguing. I stopped offering them. Vol. 3 isn’t angry. Anger burns fast — this is slower than that. This is the stage where realisation sits down beside you… not loud, just certain. Where you recognise the difference between being loved… and being leaned on. Where you see how often you showed up full — And how often you were met half. Half listening. Half present. Half emotionally available. And love cannot breathe properly in halves. There’s a grief in this volume… but it isn’t dramatic. It’s the grief of acceptance. Of understanding that some connections survive on your emotional generosity… more than mutual nourishment. That you were pouring… consistently… Into a cup that rarely tilte...

Lovers Reggae 2026 Love Day Edition

Image
Love Day arrives every year dressed the same way. Shop windows dripping in red. Plastic roses. Last-minute cards written in aisles under fluorescent lighting. But love — real love — has never lived in shop windows. It lives in quieter places. It lives in the way someone knows how you take your tea. In the silence that feels safe instead of awkward. In the way music fills the spaces words don’t quite reach. So this year on Rehab’s Couch… we step away from the clichés. No forced romance. No glossy fantasy. Just Lovers Reggae in its full, breathing spectrum. Because love — like reggae — isn’t one note. It has roots. It has ache. It has longing. It has memory. It has joy that dances barefoot across kitchen tiles. This mix leans into all of it. Not just Lovers Rock sweetness — though she’s here too, silk dress swaying gently. But also the deeper cuts: Rub-a-dub teasing the edges of midnight. Dancehall slow wines that say more with rhythm than language ever could. Bedroom reggae — intimate, ...

Unsaid things vol 2

 The Unsaid Things — About Being Needed There’s an unspoken rule that if you’re capable, you’ll cope. If you’re steady, you’ll carry it. If you don’t fall apart, you must be fine. Being needed has a way of disguising itself as purpose. It gives you a role. A rhythm. A reason not to ask awkward questions about yourself. At first, it feels like love. Then responsibility. Then expectation. Somewhere along the way, your own needs start sounding optional. Inconvenient. Selfish, even. When everyone relies on you, rest begins to feel undeserved. Silence feels suspicious. And asking for help feels like a personal failure rather than a human one. You learn how to be useful in every room. How to read the temperature. How to arrive already adjusted. What nobody says is that being needed can quietly replace being known. People see what you do far more than who you are when nothing is required of you. There’s a particular loneliness in being the strong one. The reliable one. The one who always ...

The Unsaid Things. The series

 The Unsaid Things — About Staying There are things you don’t say out loud because once you do, they can’t be put back. One of them is this: I didn’t stay because I didn’t know better. I stayed because I did — and I was tired. Tired of starting again. Tired of explaining myself. Tired of carrying both the leaving and the fallout it would cause. Staying wasn’t weakness. It was logistics. It was care. It was the quiet maths of who would be affected most if I chose myself. No one tells you how convincing familiarity can be. How it lowers its voice and calls itself loyalty. How it dresses up as patience and asks to be admired. From the outside, staying can look like strength. From the inside, it can feel like living in a room where the air never quite moves. I knew something had shifted when hope became something I managed rather than felt. When silence needed translating. When my body learned to brace before my mind caught up. This isn’t a confession. It’s an acknowledgement. There’s ...

Comfort Food

Image
Comfort Food There are some songs that don’t belong to a moment. They belong to you. They’ve followed me through different lives — from crowded rooms and late nights, to quieter mornings and familiar routines. Songs I once danced hard to, drank to, escaped into. Songs that now keep me company while I cook, clean, reset the house, and myself. This mix is called Comfort Food because that’s what it is. Not impressive food. Not fancy food. The kind of nourishment you return to because it works. This is soul jazz — music made by people who took their time. Before shortcuts. Before rushing to the hook. Before everything had to be loud to be noticed. You can hear it in the space between the notes. In the patience. In the warmth. Some days, this music holds me when I’m tired. Some days, it lifts the room just enough to keep things moving. Some days, it reminds me who I’ve been — and who I still am. I don’t listen to these records to go back. I listen to stay present. This is music ...

End of the Day Vibes

Image
There’s a moment at the end of a hard day when you finally stop holding yourself together. Not dramatically. Just quietly. The keys go down. The bag drops where it drops. You sit before you even think about it. Your body knows before your mind does. Hard days don’t always come with big disasters. Sometimes they’re made of small things stacked too close together. Conversations you didn’t have the energy for. Noise you didn’t ask for. Being needed when you were already empty. By the end of it, you don’t want solutions. You don’t want perspective. You don’t want to be told tomorrow will be better. You just want the day to stop touching you. This is the hour for soft things. Low light. Familiar sounds. Music that doesn’t interrupt your thoughts or demand your attention. You don’t need to process anything right now. You don’t need to make sense of it. You don’t need to turn the day into a lesson. You’re allowed to just arrive. Let your shoulders drop without explanation. Let the...

🎚️ Crate Diggin’: Bang, Crash, Soul.

Image
There I was. Back bent. Dust on my fingertips. Eyes narrowed like a detective in a 70s cop show. Somewhere between the warped Heatwave 7-inch and a bootleg “Best of Shabba” tape, I felt it. That tingle. That crackly whisper from the wax gods. Crate Diggin’ ain't therapy. It's resurrection. This mix isn’t polite. It doesn’t ask permission. It walks in with dusty boots and soul on its breath. From the first slap of Mr. Foxy’s “Cashville Chronicles”, you know exactly what time it is — grown-folk grooves, dusty gems, no filler, no filter. We’re talking Tom Browne’s brass strut, Little Beaver’s backroom two-step, Latimore’s gravel-growl bedroom sermons, and Thee Sacred Souls floating in like new prophets with old souls. You know those record shops where the real heat is never out front? Where the gold’s behind the beaded curtain, next to a rusty fan and an old fella named Marvin who hasn’t moved since 1996? That’s where this mix lives. Not on the racks — in the back. In ...
