Ledisi’s New Declaration of Independence

Ledisi’s latest album, The Wild Card, marks 20 years since her debut. For this reason, it may be hard for some to believe that her ninth studio album is also her first independent project in over a decade. Honestly, I think this is a great move for an artist like Ledisi. She has one of […]

Does Brandy’s B7 Solidify Her Title As the Vocal Bible?

Brandy is back with a vengeance promoting her new album, B7. The singer and actress has focused more on the latter in recent years, as this is her first studio LP since 2012’s Two Eleven.

Kelly Rowland Serves Up a Hot Cup of ‘Coffee’

Teasers for Kelly Rowland’s new single, “Coffee”, have been all over social media lately. The former Destiny’s Child founding member hasn’t released a full-length studio album since 2013’s Talk A Good Game. That album was underrated, with several missed opportunities for singles, including “Talk A Good Game”, “#1”, and “Put Yout Name On It”. The […]

Lizzo has been making waves in the music industry for a few years now, with previous albums/EPs Coconut Oil and Big Grrrl Small World. Her image is just as in-your-face as her sound is. For instance, she recently landed a Playboy shoot as one of only two plus size women to ever be featured in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
