Today’s Artist
Sharon Jones 1956-2016 (60)
100 days,
100 nights, and I'd still do it all again.
Sharon Jones released her debut album at 40 after spending years as a corrections officer at Rikers Island. She fronted the Dap-Kings with a voice that sounded like 60s soul had been waiting for her to show up. She proved it was never too late to find your voice, and when she finally did, it was worth the wait. More on Sharon Jones →
Who Did It Better
play Let's Stay Together
Let me love you
And I'll never let you down

Let's Stay Together 0:30 is a man signing a lease on an apartment he plans to live in forever. He will never let her down. That is not a hope. It is a promise backed by everything he has.

In a world that teaches you to leave, staying becomes revolutionary. The song is simple because the truth is simple. He wants to stay. That is the whole of it.

Just Kickin' It
Just kickin' it
Hanging out, having fun

Xscape

Just kicking it. No pressure. No expectations. Two people spending time without defining it. The best relationships start this way. Before labels. Before demands. Just existing in the same space and enjoying how it feels to be around each other naturally.

I Was Made To Love Her
I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
A declaration of lifelong devotion to a childhood sweetheart. The narrator was born to love this one person and nothing can change that. Their bond formed in youth has only grown stronger. The song celebrates love that endures through every season of life.

Soul in the Movies
Out of Sight 1998
Out of Sight Soderbergh's Out of Sight is the sexiest film ever made about a bank robber and a federal marshal. The Isley Brothers' 'It's Your Thing' plays as George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez flirt through bulletproof glass in the trunk of a car. Do what you wanna do. The song is about independence. The characters have none. It's your thing. The trunk knew better.

Why We're Here
Most of us grew up with free radio. Then corporations took over the playlist. Then we found Spotify and YouTube -- until the algorithm quietly decided what we liked, and suddenly we were stuck on repeat again. There's so much music out there, and only so much time to hear it.
At HotSupper, we just want to open things up a little. Maybe you'll stumble on an artist you've never heard of. Maybe you'll rediscover a song you'd completely forgotten. Maybe you'll just tap your toes. Either way, it's yours to explore. And if you have ideas to make this place better, we're all ears.
