A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Wow, this is really nice and sweet. You added lot's of little elements and there is progression in the song (it is telling me a story).
I like that positive feeling it gives and everything is totally in balance (mix).
Good job!

So passionate harmony, in my modest opinion fantastic R&B-Soul tune more than Jazz, but regardless an excellent one Arlen!.
Elegant rythm base, grooving understatement!! Flawless guitar and strings. Such superb breaks to let the track free breathing....I loved to listen to this track!! Great Mr. Grant!! :)

Absolutely love the chill vibe in this one from the beginning and how it gradually moves into the groove. This is just what I needed to hear on SoundClick. Love the strings and the stops beginning at 2:06. Such a relaxing and tranquil song. My love has been rekindled after this beautiful tune. Magnificent work sir.
Mind bending...laid back...smooth....lush track that is truly inspiring. Love the vibe...love the groove...and the strings were so cool. The production values are superb. What a nicely chilled song to enjoy. I am in awe of your talent as always.
