| Kerri Chandler is one of the fathers of NYC’s house community and has been releasing no-frills club fodder since his ’91 debut, “Super Lover”/“Get It Off.” As house music has fractured into micro-genres, attention has turned toward the sound’s newer innovations—but Chandler never stopped pumping out his steadfast trademark beats with contemporary feel. Kerri's new tune "Je' T’aime" starts off with this melody featuring the sounds of guitar, bass and drum with a Latin festival feel to it just like the sun light reflecting on the calm oceans dancing in rhythm on a sunny afternoon; just like the honey pheromone released by sweet flowers attracting bees on a fresh spring morning, a pure sense of happiness and love. Irony to the pure positive energy in its melody, this song touches on the sensitive grey matter: painful emotions that we all may experience as humans, exposing our honest self to the world and getting hurt to a point as if there is no sun to brighten our soul today; it is almost like there is only this love found in melody to embrace our tortured soul in darkness to move forward positively. The lyrics makes us remember to keeping a focus on the simplicity of life: beauty found in our nature, blessings given and continue breathing dancing with the rhythm and harmony found in our life, keeping faith and staying positive, believing that a true love will always come on our way embracing us as long as we are here to give ourselves to the world first, even in reality we are hurting in the given moment of time. Kerri sends his pure love and encouragement to his beloved, to a soul that he had found a reflection of himself in, and yet there is a feeling that this energy enclosed in this song is truthfully an intimate message to himself as well. "All I Have Is This Feeling" starts off with this electronic piano melody tapping deeper into one's heart diagnosing this grey and bitter feeling he has been avoiding on facing for a long long time, but now the truth has exposed building up a sense of urgency that there is no way back, but accept the reality and it is the time to deal with a conflict that has been created between two souls. This song like "Je T’aime" touches on a very sensitive matter that many of us tend to avoid discussing sharing intimate and honest feelings. Can you accept the painful truth given today?
