1 – Summer Wind – Frank Sinatra – This is a perfect end of summer, it feels like the sun going down in the sky and the moonlight shining much earlier than you could possibly want it to and the end of another season, less death and more aging -life passing irrevocably by – A+

2 – Forbidden Nights – Darlene Love – Nearly perfect girl group sound written by no less a figure than Elvis Costello – A

3 – All The Way – Frank Sinatra – Full orchestrated heavy duty pop music, doesn’t swing, it stands – A

4 – Pray 4 Love – Travi$ Scott, The Weeknd – This is a hip hop mood piece but the juxtaposition of Scott with the much much better singer leads directly to Scott’s problem, overcome here, he can’t sing – A-

5 – Nota Di Amor – Wisin, Carlos Vives, Damn Yankee – A who’s who of Latin American pop mix and match ballad with reggaeton to great effect – A-

6 – Wicked (1965 Version) – Not bad though not as good as the original, the voice intro is really irritating – B+

7 – Robbed Blind – Keith Richard – The problem here is simple enough, he can’t sing  – C

8 – You Make Me Feel So Free – Van Morrison – I guess Into The Music is available -watcha say? – A

9 – Outta My Mind – The Arcs – Not bad soul rocker – B-

10 – Hood Politics – It sure ain’t boo boo, state of survivor’s guilt plus a Sufjan Stevens sample – A
