1. You & Me
A little New York funk.. Every R&B artist should have a FUNK in their repertoire. You & Me is what the Universe gave me, with TONY STEVENSON playing some bad, kick-ass bass. You & Me ain't nothing but a party with a lover you just met.
2. You're The Best Thing
When love is happy and sad. A happy man sees his stages to a higher love. Here he expresses his realization of feelings with his joys of love in a growing lasting romantic relationship.
3. You Didn't have to lie
You didn't have to lie, cheat, break my heart. It really wasn't smart, sweet, or pretty. You didn't have to lie. No you didn't have to cheat, no. Girl I'll gladly give you all of my love. Then try and give more.
4. Have you needed love
Lyrics from the heart in moments of loneliness. Seeing One's truth through experiences we share with each other. A lonely low gets rough, wanna scream I've had enough. Going deeper within, knowing despair in a changing world.
5. How Could You Throw Our Love Away
Don't remember writing the lyrics or when this song was recorded. Though I do know the woman who insired the lyrics. Fast forward to after she heard the song? She felt sad, assumed she was doing me a favor by leaving. I thanked her for the lyrics.
6. Got A Problem
One of my greatest creation with guitarist JIMMI BROWN who wrote the music. Long ago, I once met a girl. Prostitution took her soul into the depts of hell.A problem my friend is all a state of mind. Be patient for an answer. That the Lord will help you find. With His love.
7. To Be Back Home
Getting stranded in Acapulco Mexico inspired the lyrics. Just when you find, you're lost and alone. You hope very hard to be back home. You will forget.. DON'T DRINK THE WATER! Seventeen phone calls to New York for help. Had to sell my watch to a jeweler.
8. DO IT AGAIN
When I get to heaven, I'm gonna explore the universe. Sit down and talk to king Jesus, before I return to earth.. And when I learn of my existence. And my purpose on earth where I've been. Then I'll say to king Jesus "Let me do it again. Let me do it again."
9. TELL ME HOW TO GO
With the thought of getting sued for slander, verses One, Three, and Four were changed at the last minute. The third vese: My buddy PUTIN loves to drive a car. Do Elvis with his Russin guitar. Took to playing with computers again. Now he thinks The Donald's a friend. PUTIN is so confused, Tell him how to go.
10. So CAN YOU
You tell me you love me coming around to groove wiithh you. You got a feeling he's fooling around wanna do it too. So can you girl. So can you.

Chilling in Nice with my great friends, Genevieve and Helene Manon from face book. Absolute Goddesses. Helene was once my European manager.

The Real Deal
I caught these guys at a bar called JAM. Music from the 50s are their MO. I had the pleasure of singing Chantilly Lace by the Big Bopper. Yeah, we were all surprised-- I remembered the lyrics.

I cherish those two month-long writing vacations in Nice. Get lost somewhere high on a mountain, get picked up for dinner, mingle with my friends, then we go out to hear me sing somewhere. What a life for two months.

One of my writing retreats
Dusseldorf, Germany was my last stop after Barcelona , and I meet some great, up and coming musicians along the way. And yes, the European potions are smaller. Spain is a mixed bag.
MAIRA MAROLONY
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE!
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE!
Maira Marolony on Facebook is the Soul of Africa. Her dress and performance are authentic African. We had dinner together and I felt as if I was in the presence of African Royalty. She's becoming a hard act to follow.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE!
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE!
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE!
It's time to leave for New York and I'm not feeling the love for the Big Apple. When inspiration comes, I bow to the universe. If you miss it, you miss your moment of surrender---- Nothing is in writing, and nothing is coming back to you.
ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN'S Album. J.Artyst & the Universe Album
ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN sound track
Hear the songs that gave the "GO" to the musical ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN, and Marvin Williams' personal take on a great Jerome Artyst original, "Have You Needed Love", and knocks it out of the park.
PASTOR MICHELLE NIEVES
When Jerome Artyst asked me to create a song like "Raise Your Hands", I knew immediately, that my Lord and savor Jesus Christ, could go toe-to-toe with any challenge. "I'm the producer, and God delivered."
THE MUSICAL WAS DOOMED FOR FAILURE
Jerome Artyst here: "That depends on how you look at it. All failures are huge leaps forward, when and if, you have the ability to see it. Then again, by not knowing, we're guaranteed to be where we're suppose to be. Untainted by a modest success that might have taken us longer to get to where we're trying to go. ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN is "NOW" where it's suppose to be. This album rocks!
WHAT'S NEXT?
Pastor Michelle Nieves here: "God, our Heavenly Father is at the wheel. And using a Jerome Artyst quote, "We're always on the clock." Yet we must always ask the Lord for guidance, knowing he's at the wheel.
What would you like your audience to take away from this album?
Pastor Michelle Nieves here: A desire for seeing this musical play, knowing the songs and singing along. And knowing that God is always good... All of the time.
WHERE CAN WE BUY THIS ALBUM?
