  • Recording artist Allen Stone performs "Last to Speak," "Circle," and "Where You're At" and between songs delivers a message on mental real estate, specifically how he learned to allocate his to better benefit his health. He describes how he used to allocate a significant amount of his mental real estate to bitterness, but when he let go of the bitterness and gave it all to gratitude, he finally found joy. On his third full-length album, soul artist Allen Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention.
    Made in collaboration with Swedish soul singer/songwriter/phenom Magnus Tingsek, Radius captures the warm energy of that creative connection and transports the listener to a higher and more exalted plane.
    The New York Times said the Chewelah, Washington-bred 28-year-old’s lyrics on Radius “promise honest sentiments, grooves built with physical instruments and a gospel-rooted determination to uplift … glimmers of Al Green, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton, Prince and a bit of Sting.”
    Allen is currently writing for his fourth full length album. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    So much honesty, so much raw emotion. Such a hard thing to listen to, because surely everyone can see themselves in the mental real estate model. And yet, so hopeful to hear how he took control of his life and pulled himself up out of the depths of a dark place. So glad I'm on the same planet at the same time as this guy. :)
