Freshlyground, the South African afro-fusion ensemble from Cape Town reminds us all on their 2007 single, "Pot Belly", on their Ma’ Cheri (My Darling) album, that good loving comes in all shapes and sizes. Many thanks to Freshlyground for this flirtatious, easy-listening track that embodies the security that some of us need in order to induce the confidence that our biggest critics—ourselves—need from time to time. Life can be too short or too long depending on how you look at it. Either way, one does not have to spend their time trying to remold themselves for the satisfaction of others—especially their significant other. After all, you can't genuinely love someone else without loving yourself first. How's that for some weekend self-affirmation?
