A graduate of The Juilliard Faculty, Ms. James has thrived in a variety of musical settings, **from showing on Broadway alongside Nathan Lane and duetting with Grammy Winner Robert Glasper, to touring the US and Europe with Scott Bradlee’s Put up Fashionable Jukebox.  In 2014 she launched Hunter, her debut solo album. 

For this playlist Morgan selected a selected theme that most of us can relate to: hassle and love.

1. Pedestal – Van Hunt

“The difficulty with love is, I don’t have something to go together with it; it simply sits in my closet with all the opposite empty guarantees.”

This track (and album) is on repeat for me these days! The lyrics on this track are unbelievable. He’s all vibe, the entire time…

2. Assist Me – Joni Mitchell

“I’m in hassle, trigger you’re a rambler and a gambler and a candy speaking women man…” 

That is from my favourite Joni album, ‘Courtroom and Spark.’ Whenever you fall in love, particularly in Laurel Canyon, generally you don’t know whether or not to flee or dive proper in…

3. The Hassle With Love Is – Kelly Clarkson

“The difficulty with love is, it could possibly tear you up inside…”

However that’s how we get the blues, child!  My favourite factor Kelly has recorded, by far.

 4. Hassle –  Ray Lamontagne

“Hassle been doggin’ my soul for the reason that day I used to be born”

Fell in love with Ray after I heard this track, and adopted him ever since. Soulful, wealthy, weary–however don’t fear… Saved by a lady

 5. Hassle – Coldplay

“And I by no means meant to trigger you hassle,
**And I by no means meant to do you flawed”

This album has such vibe. Second in time. Easy and melancholic. We do the very best we are able to…

 6. Hassle in thoughts –  Nina Simone

“Hassle in thoughts, I’m blue; However I gained’t be blue at all times. The solar gonna shine in my again door some day”

Nina ought to be on each playlist. This time, with a basic blues… And in the event you wanna, you’ll be able to hearken to my model of this, too. It’s on my dwell report
