Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 500th greatest album of all time

Return of the G was a little more hip hop than I was expecting but decent.
Rosa Parks is a little better, more foot-tappy with an odd little country breakdown. The song, not the historical figure.
Annoying little skits in between songs.
Skew it on the Bar-B has a great beat and a better tempo.
Aquemini is a soulful little groove, with an interesting subtle change in mood halfway through.
Synthesizer starts as a basic hi-hat and snare tune and builds up with many layers of vocals and synth and piano.
I'm going to have to stop track by track reviews now, need to get some work done.
Except: Liberation (feat CeeLo Green) is an absolute treat.
Great album, a few tracks a little more gangsta than I like but some excellent soulful songs.

Sassy Brit (97 KP) rated Soulful Baker: From Highly Creative Fruit Tarts and Pies to Chocolate, Desserts and Weekend Brunch in Books

Jun 5, 2019

Soulful Baker: From highly creative fruit tarts and pies to chocolate, desserts and weekend brunch with Julie Jones, and Lisa Linder is one of those gorgeous cookery books that is great for any time of year, but especially for people who like to cook more around Christmas.

This is more than a cookery book, it’s actually a lovely reminder of how the author and her mum began cooking together again, after her mum was diagnosed with dementia. As a form of mutual therapy they shared their joint love of cooking over on Instagram and gained many followers.

These are simple recipes but done in such an elaborate way, I too was managed to fool people I was good at cooking! There are detailed ingredients and easy to understand methods to follow. Plus there are many equally tasty looking colourful photos to inspire you.

Beautiful and moving. Not the usual thing you’d say about a cookbook, right?

“Soulful Baker” is a bakery book with heart.

Oprah Winfrey recommended The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment in Books (curated)

"Meg Ryan and Ellen DeGeneres gave me copies of this book, and it’s gotten me through more crises than I can count. It truly helped me discover how to live in the now—to not linger on past mistakes, but to learn from them and then let them go. For me, this is the Mama Jama of super-soulful books. At every moment, it keeps me in a state of awe and amazement."
