Hey Francis! Long time no see. C'est bon de voir ta tête! Les matchs et le karaoké des lundis soirs me manquent. Même Fred me manque... En tout cas, t'as l'air d'être sur de bons rails, ça fait plaisir. Quand tu veux pour une virée. Hope to see you soon, man. Keep up the good work! François

Like You - i love this song !! What a nice mix of the guitars and piano. The percussion also keeps the song moving nicely. I really like the groove of this song. It's very uplifting and suits the lyrics perfectly, in a bittersweet way. I really like your voice - it has so much soul in it. The backing vocals are also beautifully mixed and arranged. All The musicians are so talented and tight. I really like the vibe and feel of this song.

Higher love
Oh yeah!
Grooving from the first note. Great vocals, amazing synth, awesome background vocals. I've never listened to something so well mixed and eq'd as this one. Awesome song.
Good arrangement, I like the full sounding violins in the back. Higher Love!!!
This is the kind of song that deserves a record label right from the beginning. I just can't say enough about this.
Sooooo much feeling. Great lyrics, I dig it. Great ending. Everything is perfect, wouldn't change this song for anything.

Song of Freedom
This is friggin' awesome!!! So jazzzzzzy!
Love your choice of chords in your progressions. It's really good... bobbing my head. Got a good groove. Nice backing organ combination; makes a good fill for female backups (are they yet to come? ...we shall see)
I'll give this song a 5 just cause I really dig it. I'd love to see you live with Ben Harper or Dave Matthews, maybe John Mayer...
Let me know when you're in Seattle.

So Sad
Great tune
Cool african backbeat mixed with reggae. The vocals are really different and unlike anything on US radio and would be a most welcome change. Cool vocals. The harmonies add a really nice texture. The song makes you move & feel good. Great song. I love the african? singing at the end - you are really on to something here. And, I recognize the artist from a previous review cuz of the distinctive style - which is so important to have that signature stamp. Go Paris, France!

My Life
Soulful Holy cow, this is almost like a soul greatest hit. Its like Al Green singing, Bob Babbitt playing bass, Joe Messina playing guitar, TOP's horn section, and James Gadson laying down his trademark hi-hat 16th notes on the drums. Great groove and mood all throughout!

Like you,
Great What a great tune from start to finish, well played, and well sung.
Now this is what music is meant to be.
Why can't more music be this exciting and meaningful.
It's time that music like this came back and made its mark.
Congratulations.

Bob Marley and Sting wuld be proud!
Very cool song. The lyrics grabbed me right away, I like "life is water, love is not stone" - very descriptive. The musical hooks in the verse are catchy as is the melody. The chorus melody is memorable too and easy to sing along to. Wonderful horn solos - very Sting! I absolutely love the vamping in another language at the end with the horns swirling around - extremely cool! Jentry from Brentwood, Tennessee

Very Very Nice Starts off simple and takes you on a great journey. You don't want to get off the ride until you see the end. Very thoughtful arrangement and use of the voices. Of course the sax just ice.

Higher Love I discovered Francis Jocky with the song Higher Love in Next Big Hit Podcast, what a Great Tune, a kind of Seal meets Bob Marley.....
