How Beyonce’s ‘Homecoming’ Has Changed The Live Album Concept

April 17, 2019 is a hump day that will not soon be forgotten. Just as Ariana Grande fans were dubbing this year’s Coachella celebration “Arichella”, in comes Beyonce. She swooped in unexpectedly….well, let’s be real. We expected it sometime very soon. The juggernaut that is Beyonce made headlines last year as the first African American […]

7 Things ‘The Dirt’ Taught Me About Motley Crue

Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and Mick Mars are one of the biggest Rock groups of all time. I knew Motley Crue’s big hits like “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood” and “Home Sweet Home”. However, nothing could have prepared me for the group’s new Netflix film The Dirt, based on their 2001 memoir of […]

The Return of “Why Did He Do It?”

I still remember the first time I heard “Why Did He Do It?” by John Patrick Adams. The song and the lyrics game me a chilling feeling as I took a closer listen. Since then (and even years before then), the song has been recorded by many different artists and ministered by different choirs across […]

Soulful Soundz Gives Us Something To Love

R&B music is an interesting beast. Just in my lifetime alone, I’ve seen it go from overtly sexual to neo soul and Hip Hop infusions and just bare bones love songs. However, it’s always refreshing to know true R&B music when you hear it. No one has to tell you. You can just feel it. […]

Solange Comes Home To Texas

I finally got a chance to hear Solange’s new surprise album, When I Get Home. I’m honestly still getting my footing on the ground that the album stands on. However, I can say that its 19 tracks were cleverly sequenced and crafted. The project picks up where A Seat at the Table left off (even […]

Remembering ‘The Voice’ of Janice Freeman

I remember it just like it was yesterday. The Voice was on the TV and then this roaring voice singing one of my favorite songs, “Radioactive” filled the room. I was not ready. Honestly, no one was. Janice Freeman had a way of commanding a stage with her presence and pouring soothing honey on eardrums […]

TLC Celebrates 20 Years Of FanMail

TLC is still the biggest selling American female group of all time (and second worldwide, only behind Spice Girls). Their third studio album, FanMail, was released 20 years ago this week. Ironically, FanMail also marked the beginning of public dissension being revealed within the group. Some fans thought they wouldn’t stay together long enough to […]

4 Awkward 2019 Grammy Moments

I tuned in to the Grammys last night, as I typically do every year. I’m not a fan of the entire broadcast. I do like seeing my favorite artists perform and the awards they may win though. Alicia Keys hosted the event and everyone from Lady Gaga to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Diana […]

Reeze Gets Us Ready For The ‘Night Shift’

I was first introduced to Reeze’s music about a year ago, with his single “Knew Dat”. That song is one of my morning workout regulars on my playlist, so I decided to check out some of his previous singles and his debut EP, Square One. Now, he’s back with his brand new single, “Run It […]

5 Reasons Why Missy Elliott Is Set To Dominate 2019

Missy Elliott has had quite roller-coaster career. Although she hasn’t released a studio album in 14 years (2005’s The Cookbook), her presence has remained relevant. To this day, her creativity in music videos, styling and song construction remains unparalleled. 90s baby’s laughed aloud as young millennials questioned who the hot, new featured artist was on […]
