WURS Fresh& Radio

Feb 6, 2025

Music is vibration and vibration is life. Music is a gift from our souls, from the souls of our ancestors, from each other. Music is a love letter, of expressions that can be communicated clearly no other way but through the combination of sounds they form when they come together. Inspiration & love.

Growing up in a type of Black & Military American family where sharing and expressing of emotions was not done, was discouraged, and was dangerous, I would know the mood & temperature of people’s temperament by the songs they would blare. Whether across a stereo system, the car radio, or by the music videos on television, the mood was made clear.

Was she mad at my dad again? Was it time for spring cleaning? Are they soul-searching?…Grieving a loss? No genre was off limits, as we were an eclectic bunch who didn’t have the luxury to discriminate via tunes. Soul is soul, spirit energy spirit energy. That shit can’t be boxed in. And neither can music.

From a Fisher Price baby grand piano, to a Casio keyboard. DJ Ann and I both remember starting with the little plastic recorder playing Hot Cross Buns and Au Claire De La Lune. To the flute and saxophones, even when an instrument could not be afforded, a kind teacher soul let me borrow their horn so I could stay involved.

It saved my life. Literally. Not only did it help me create a path outward for my emotions to travel, but it literally helped me breathe regularly as it encourages and requires disciplined flow and timing of breath. Anxiety had already captured my young soul’s body and my commitment to musicality exercised my ability to breathe.

Our vision is to see the combination of music and personalized playlists contributed and explored together as we embark on journey to emotions in order to invite them outward and let them know they are now welcome here and should have always been.

Join us at WURS Fresh& Radio where we attempt to reclaim ourselves and our soul’s desires and comforts and honor them by sharing playlists themed by emotional expression. Here we don’t neglect emotions as to do so would be to neglect and reject ourselves. We’re WURS Fresh& Radio, your self reclamation station and we’re glad you’re here with us. Let’s help the world to know it’s safe enough to feel again.

In lovingkindness & invitation, Xyaire & Ann
