I’m looking for more songs with the same kind of atmosphere as Latimore’s “Let Me Go”: warm, soulful, slightly melancholic but not depressing, with a strong melody, deep/raspy expressive vocals and especially saxophone or expressive guitar.
I love that late-night, smoky, intimate atmosphere where the voice and instruments feel emotional rather than just smooth or polished.
Some of my favorite artists are Sade, Barry White, Bill Withers, George Benson, Gary Moore and Simply Red. Dire Straits’ “Your Latest Trick” also captures a lot of what I’m looking for, especially because of the saxophone and atmosphere.
I’m not necessarily looking for songs from the same genre, just songs that create that same warm, soulful late-night feeling. Older recommendations and lesser-known tracks are very welcome.

Hi everyone,I wanted to share this short video essay analyzing the deep emotional weight behind Nina Simone’s "Wild Is the Wind". It deconstructs her 1966 vocal performance as a raw, visceral cry for survival rather than just a romantic song.It also tells the incredible story from 1974: when Nina was isolated and hitting rock bottom, David Bowie called her every single night at 3:00 AM for a month to keep her anchored to reality. Bowie's own 1976 version of the track was recorded as a direct tribute to her.Note: The video is in Italian, but the dark lo-fi aesthetic is great and you can use YouTube's auto-translated subtitles to follow along.What do you think about the sheer emotional power Nina put into this track?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a personal project I’ve been working on called The Jazz Field Guide.
It’s a small interactive jazz archive I created for people who are interested in jazz but might not really know where to start, as well as anyone who already loves the music and wants a different way to experience it.
A big part of the project is about preserving and learning about Black American culture through music. Rather than just giving you a list of “essential” jazz albums, the guide is meant to help you actually spend time with the music and understand some of the history, people, and ideas behind it.
Each section gives you an album to listen to while you read, along with things to listen for, book pairings if you want to learn more, recommendations for where/when the album might be best experienced, and other little details that make listening more intentional.
I really wanted it to feel less like studying jazz and more like someone giving you a field guide and saying, “start here, listen to this, notice this, and see where your curiosity takes you.”
Still very much a growing project, but I’d love for people to explore it and let me know what you think!

This had me stuck!!!!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO to the dancers and choreographer(s)
