The Universe of SOUND Spoke To Me—TODAY!

The Universe of SOUND Spoke To Me—TODAY!

🌱 Seeded by CJB today

👉😲✨ WHEN THE UNIVERSE SPEAKS YOU HAVE TO LISTEN—And the ears I use to hear it are what I call soul instinct 📶💚🌱✨

You must get this?
Sometimes you push ahead in one direction and the universe is like, NO, not that way, THIS WAY!

Well, there has been an underlying nudging going on for a while. I was fixated for good reason on using "CJB TODAY" as my musical artist name. My book will explain why the "TODAY" term was so apt.

But, the universe (& Everything) has other ideas.
🌱 Today I logged into Spotify to see if my name change had worked...

Well, you know that big "X" and in the game show Family Fortunes and the EEERRGH UGHHH noise it makes when the answer is a NO!? Okay, well here it is:

That sound? That’s what the universe—and Spotify—gave me this morning.
My old artist name was still showing with the new track. 🫨🤯

Turns out, Spotify and Apple Music won’t update the old ".DOT" artist name.

That’s when my soul awareness slapped me around the face a few times. (Don’t worry—it felt good. No harm done. Kinda tickled.)

This was happening for a reason.

The universe—okay, The Body of Everything—was telling me it’s time to let go of the “TODAY” part in my artist name. Not because it’s not awesome (it is—it still powers this blog and a lot of my soul coaching work). But because…
To grow a musical identity that can evolve separately from my blog and other creations, I needed a clearer name.

Admit it—you were confused.
CJB.today the blog.
CJB TODAY the musical artist.
😵‍💫
Yeah. I know.
But hey, that’s the messiness of growing. Some of us take a little longer to reach your height.

Luckily, I’d already been brainstorming—and “CJB SOUNDS” had been calling to me.
Sure, it’s not wild or edgy 🌱 but it grew on me.
And it made sense for the direction my alternative soul music is headed.

I empathize with artists navigating the wave of AI and its impact on music. Just like I empathized with musicians back when synthesizers and electronic sounds first arrived—and people thought piano players were done for. They weren’t. The music just shifted, and became its own genre.

I love AI. I love what it can do when used with soul and purpose.
Let’s be real—AI isn’t just one thing.
AI in a warbot is not AI detecting cancer. Big difference.

CJB SOUNDS is all about soul.
Not just classic soul like Luther Vandross (though I love that too), but alternative soul—any music that helps grow your soul.
That helps grow your soul happiness.
(And no, this isn’t sweet syrupy soul—I keep it grounded, earthy, real.)

GET ON WITH IT, CJB!
Okay, okay—so now it’s official:

🌱 The musical artist name that used .(DOT)today is dead.

And in its place?
A new name. A new soul. A new sound.
Another nudge from The Body of Everything.
Another push… into something even better.

Welcome to my new album: RIP .TODAY by CJB SOUNDS

Find it now (although some places are still updating) on all great music apps. Here are a few for you to check out the album.

For those who've 🌱 grown with me musically, you will note that I have bundled all of my tracks so far into the one album.

And YES — this means that something exciting and new is coming soon. It needs to be coordinated with my book launch, so please bear with me whilst I juggle the world on my shoulders (is that a thing).

I truly do appreciate you following and supporting. I hope you do see that I am different. I do see you. And one day, or whenever I can, I will show my appreciation. I have so many amazing plans, but I do need you to continue growing with me.

Love you!
CJB
