This time of year is filled with holiday music celebrating the Christmas season and the birth of Jesus. You may recall the review I did of John Legend’s A Legendary Christmas collection. In keeping with the cheerful holiday theme, there is another new tune that you need to add to your playlist. John Patrick Adams, […]
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 […]
It was that “One Thing” in 2005 that gave Amerie her big breakout hit. However, her last studio album, In Love & War, was released in 2009. Since then, her presence has virtually disappeared from the music industry. So it only seems fitting that her new studio album is a double release. Amerie switched her […]
On October 14, 2018, Usher celebrated a milestone. He is now 40 years old. In the early 2000s, he was riding high with the runaway success of his most controversial album to date, Confessions. Times have changed though and Usher knows how to roll with the trends. This is evident on his surprise album, simply […]
Ella Mai has had one heck of a year. The slow burning buzz turned boil of her hit single, “Boo’d Up” has made the British singer a household name. Although the song caught fire over a year after its release, her entire Ready EP was more than a solid effort. Now, fast forward to the […]
Macy Gray is in a class all by herself. She’s not quite R&B, too edgy for Pop. and a little too smooth for Hard Rock. Her voice and style of music is unlike anything I have ever heard before. She has still managed to dodge conformity even after two decades in the music business. Don’t […]
JaySyd is constantly creating new music. That part of his musical formula has stayed the same since I was first introduced to his music a few years ago. However, his growth continues to shine through. This is especially apparent on his new release, Changez. Plus, some ladies never learn that conversations with male R&B singers […]
