I grew up listening to Usher.... and there have been a lot of hits, but then a whole lotta misses as well with this dude... who for me, resembles a Ninja turtle and its hard to take him seriously as a sex symbol. "Here I Stand," is one of the best R&B albums of today. Rarely can a 17 track cd be good to listen through, but honestly folks, its really fucking good. I am also surprised that it didn
Honey, I wish you didnt name your album this; as this is a ridiculously stupid name. But God love ya. A protege of India. Arie, a lover of Raaheem and Erykah and lover of all things ATL... Anthony David is a soul singer with a guitar, as if nothing could be scarier. I am kidding. I actually like this album, while its not the most poetic, it still is a solid soul/rock album and at while his mess...
Hello my Dears... I have been a naughty mogger. I haven't reported on anyone, anything, in quite a while. Its horrific and I deeply apologize as I have been rocking the hell out these last few weeks. Was lucky enough to stumble on a band by way of D.C called "Donny Hue and the Colors." And while me likes Donny... I have a slight crush for the bassist, Olivia Mancini, who has had her fair share of
Holy King Cobra!!! As your resident 1990's R&B junkie its only fair that I bring Robyn back from the Nordic ice strorm she was apparently caught in for the last ten years.But she hasnt. She wrote a little song called " Piece of Me" for Britney Spears and a couple other Gay anthem Britney songs I cannot remember ... the one with the cobra I think....?!Anyway, as a Nordic blond soul singing chick...
Funny how life shows you juxtapositions when you aren't looking for 'em. Ironic and blunt life is for showing you how you consistently put your foot in your mouth. Amazing how the little things just remind you of the bigger picture. Last minute I was invited to the annual Bridge School Music Festival put on by none other than Neil Young who's son is severely disabled, and the Bridge School being a
White people with dreads. Highly aromatic nag champa and marijuana smoke. Little kids running around far past their bed time. Vegan Food, only. Sounds familiar? Obviously you have gone to a reggae concert... and honestly this is the kinda shit that turned off my 20 year love affair with seeing this genre live, dont get me wrong ... I still have Catch A Fire in my rotation, daily.It drives me nuts
When you meet someone and they love music as much as you do.. its a beautiful thing. So beautiful in fact, that stylistic preferences and specific content seem to become trivial.... and just the simple speak of admiration blends any two musical worlds together. With that said; I had the opprotunity to meet someone that is as thrilled about music as I am, maybe even more so, and had introduced me t
I heard two amazing new songs on the radio.. from two artists that I had assumed totally fell off... Usher and Deborah Cox.Lets keep it real. Deborah Cox hasnt made anything tight in seven years and has gone down the path of putting dance beats behind all her music and doing Gay Pride Parades and events in Europe..But I aint hatin' go get that loot girl.. "give me the loot give me the loot.. Im a
I realize this is five years too late... but as you all know I found my old CD's and am really feeling nostalgic and thinking I should bring out all the oldies 'cause quite frankly the shit on the radio aint worth me taking time out of my day to talk about... less a few songs.Bonnie Raitt is the shit. I have a story.So when I came back to SF from NYC I was on this whole Yoga trip (I now practice a
Love the concept. Production: fantastic. Vibe; a little too contrived but all the same appealing. Voice: a not so good Beyonce.Dont hate me yet. Allow me to explain what was going on in the back of your head too.Dont lie.Ok, so She almost looks as bangin as her older sister. She has that same tonality and strain in her voice, which is undeniably Knowles. But she aint Beyonce. For real.I love th...
