Positive Vibes Only: Wande Strikes A Courageous Note Of Resolve With “Wakande”

After a compassionate message from functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole, the devout Nigerian-American rapper elevates her mind above self-loathing

Wande won’t abide the haters and gossipers attempting to drag her down. However, that’s not a product of a swollen ego—it’s a directive from her Creator.

"God done flipped my story, alright,” she raps in her thrilling, Yoruba-inflected tune “Wakande,” which she performs as part of this week’s Positive Vibes Only: “I ain't trippin' what they say 'bout me / Even when they throw shade on me / ‘Cause the shade on me put shades on me.”

Positive Vibes Only: Wande

In an era where tearing down those more successful than oneself is fashionable, self-actualization is the best medicine—in more ways than one. Despite what the weight-loss and beauty industries might tell you, achieving better physical and mental health doesn’t come from whipping one’s body into submission. As Dr. Will Cole says at the top of the video, physically restoring oneself begins with loving oneself.

“You can’t heal a body you hate,” the bestselling author of "Intuitive Fasting," "Ketotarian" and "The Inflammation Spectrum" explains. “You cannot shame your way into wellness. You cannot obsess your way into health. When there’s this stress and striving when it comes to wellness, that is the antithesis of sustainable wellness, [which is] born out of self-respect.”

Watch the elevating performance of "Wakande" by Wande above, and explore more episodes of GRAMMY.com's encouraging Positive Vibes Only series.

Positive Vibes Only: Zach Williams Performs His Reflective Gospel Song "Less Like Me"

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, singer/songwriter Zach Williams measures his fallibility in relation to Christ in the ambling jam "Less Like Me"

It's one thing to write a boast track: it's another thing entirely to do the opposite. 

In Zach Williams' upbeat, poignant gospel song "Less Like Me," he considers all the moments in which he could have acted Christlike. "Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped/ Somebody with a hand that I could have helped," he sings.

Positive Vibes Only: Zach Williams

And in the chorus, Williams lists attributes he'd like to have, as opposed to the ones he's got: mercy, grace, kindness, goodness, love, faith, patience, peace. "A little more like Jesus," goes the kicker line summing it all up, "a little less like me."

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, watch Zach Williams and his band perform the probing, life-affirming "Less Like Me." Check out the performance above and watch more episodes of Positive Vibes Only here.

Led off by a strengthening talk from TV personality and host Jason Carter, Hillsong Worship leads viewers in praise with a performance of "Hosanna"

Our family, friends, jobs and every other sector of life are bound to let us down now and again. But music may be the only component of our existence that always does us a solid. TV personality and host Jason Carter is keenly aware of this.

"It's a safe space; it's a solace; it's a comfortable blanket that we all need from time to time," Carter says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only. "Especially after everything we've been through in the last year, many are finding it hard to adjust to their new normal and what that looks like."

Positive Vibes Only: Hillsong Worship

That said, "You can always rely on music to put a smile on your face," Carter says. He then introduces Hillsong Worship, a devout duo who performs its ascendant song, "Hosanna," on voice and piano while shrouded in monochrome.

Check out Hillsong Worship's tender performance above and watch more episodes of Positive Vibes Only.

Introduced with a monologue by author/entrepreneur Lewis Howes, Mali Music performs his wholehearted tribute to Godly grace on "My Blessings"

We're now entering the second March of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite vaccines being rolled out worldwide, many are falling victim to a feeling of hopelessness. To Lewis Howes, gratitude is our sharpest weapon for when we feel ourselves spiraling, gripped by COVID fatigue.

"It's really hard to be anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and angry while you're being grateful," the author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only.

Positive Vibes Only: Mali Music

"So, anytime you're feeling those emotions, thoughts or frustrations, focus on something you're so grateful for," he continues. This, he explains, could be as minor as a meal or as major as a transformative experience with a loved one.

Howes then introduces Mali Music, a four-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel-R&B great, who performs his deeply spiritual ode to divine favor, "My Blessings." Mali Music is currently nominated for Best Gospel Performance/Song for his 2020 song "Movin' On," with Jonathan McReynolds, at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show.

As the COVID-19 pandemic marks a year around the sun, music has been a primary channel for the grief, suffering and overall malaise many of us feel. Derrial Christon keenly understands this. 

"There does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel," the celebrity host, journalist and producer says in this week’s Positive Vibes Only. "But even with that light, we all have to find a place that motivates us and gives us inspiration. Music is that place."

Positive Vibes Only: DOE

To guide us into that space of healing and uplift, gospel singer/songwriter DOE performs her tune "Good Now," about tackling problems by viewing them from a new vantage point.
