Back on the couch!

Back on the Couch! It’s been a minute— six years , to be exact—but I’m back. Life did its thing, stretched time thin, and shuffled priorities. But like any good vinyl, sometimes you just need to flip the record over and drop the needle again. Sometimes the B side is better. That’s what this moment feels like. A restart. A return. A soft re-entry into something that’s always been more than a hobby. Music, for me, is medicine. Rehab’s Couch was born from that belief—that rhythm, melody, and bassline can do the kind of healing no prescription ever could. It’s a space where soul and reggae meet, where lovers rock whispers into funk’s groove, where the Black musical diaspora reminds us that we’ve always known how to survive—and thrive—through sound. Music evokes memory. It can transcend time and space. One chord and you’re back in your grandmother’s kitchen. One bassline and suddenly you’re sixteen again, heart racing on a sticky summer night. Music isn’t just something we hear—it’s someth...

Old Song, Who Dis? Why I love a remix.

I Love a Remix – Here’s Why There’s something about a remix that hits different. Maybe it’s the surprise of a familiar song dressed in something new. Or maybe it’s the way a remix stretches time—pulling a track from your past into the present with fresh perspective. Whatever the reason, I’ve always had a soft spot for them.

Familiarity with a Twist Our brains love patterns. When we hear a song we already know, there’s an instant recognition—our bodies remember the rhythm, our mouths know the lyrics. A remix plays with that familiarity. It gives us the comfort of the known with the thrill of the unexpected. Like hearing an old friend laugh in a new way. Reinvention & Reinterpretation Remixes give artists the chance to reinterpret music through their own lens. A sad ballad becomes a dancefloor anthem. A stripped-dow...

Part one : The velvet Frequency.

  The Velvet Frequency: Sound That Touches the Pulse Beneath the Pulse By Jo 90, your musical therapist on Rehab’s Couch There’s a sound that doesn’t just enter the ear—it settles . A tone so smooth it bypasses logic and lands somewhere between your ribcage and your recollections. I call it The Velvet Frequency . It’s not a genre—it’s a vibration. A texture. A sensual register that wraps itself around the inner you. The place where goosebumps rise unbidden and your heartbeat syncs to a stranger's falsetto or baritone like it’s known them forever. We know this frequency when we feel it: The gentle ache when D’Angelo sighs into a verse. The way Sade’s voice folds into the dark like silk on skin. The magnetic pull in Barry White’s spoken interludes, Or the tremble in Maxwell’s upper register when desire tips into devotion. These voices don’t perform—they inhabit . They don’t just sing to the heart—they score its rhythm. The Velvet Frequency lives in that lower register, th...
