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. […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Considering John Legend’s successfully decorated music career, it’s hard to believe that he just released his first Christmas album. A Legendary Christmas is a mix of traditional classics, sprinkled in with some original numbers. Oh and if that wasn’t enough, Raphael Saadiq was at the helm of the album’s production. Of course, it wouldn’t be […]
I guess we can’t quite call it a comeback. After all, Mariah Carey has been here for years. In fact, her career has been so prolific that she has recently been nominated in the 2018 Songwriters Hall Of Fame (along with Missy Elliott). She’s arguably the biggest selling female artist of all time. Her range […]
Kasseem Dean, a.k.a Swizz Beatz, has kept a relatively low profile for the last few years. Now, the hit maker behind songs for Beyonce, DMX, Eve and of course, Alicia Keys, is back with a vengeance. His latest album, Poison, was released at the beginning of the month. Many fans and critics wondered aloud if […]
H.E.R has almost remained completely anonymous her entire career. Her (no pun intended) first body of work was H.E.R. Volume 1. Since then, she has released three more EPs. Her face (which is rarely seen without her signature dark sunglasses) is smooth and picturesque. Her hair is full and curly; unruly even. Ironically, her physical […]
