Must Be Love - Cassie feat. Diddy
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Surprisingly, I like this song….minus Diddy’s flow.
ARTIST ALERT: Nikki Lynette
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009Another Chi-town artist trying to make waves outside of the Great Lakes, Nikki Lynette is an eccentric singer with a funky and versatile sound. Peep the Motown influenced “Need A Man” below…
‘The 808 Experiment: Vol. 1′
Friday, February 27th, 2009HAHA….I’m still trying to figure out why I like this song…it’s just something about that playful piano that takes me back to the days of flappers, jazz, and speakeasies. Just a little harmless fun. Anyways, you can grab The 808 Experiment: Vol. 1 for free here, to check out more from the Atlanta production crew SMKA.

Little Dragon tonight at Le Poisson Rouge
Friday, November 28th, 2008Fortune
I love the video for Fortune…
How I wish I was at Le Poisson Rouge tonight to see Little Dragon. Oh, and I’m really not sure how this remix passed me up for so long. It’s a totally different take on the song, but I’m digging Toddla T’s grimy sound!

Estelle and Kanye
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008So Duffy was knocked out of the #1 spot on the UK charts this weekend by Estelle. Now, I can say that I like the nice throw back production on the track, but Estelle’s vocals are not doing anything for me, just a little too mumbly for me. Oh…and Kanye is on [...]
Emily King at Solomon’s Porch
Thursday, March 13th, 2008I’m glad to see that even after being nominated for a Grammy, Emily King is still performing at the locals spots she started out at. It was about 2 years ago when a friend of mine who had been interning at J Records first let me listen to her album. I was immediatley [...]
Never Be Lonely by Emily King: Res
Saturday, February 16th, 2008I was making some cupcakes today so I decided to just put the iPod on random and be done with it. Now, although it is my iPod and I put all the music on it, I am always pleasantly surprised with music that I haven’t listened to for awhile, or may have just skipped [...]

It’s been awhile since I have really found an R&B artist to peak my interest, but newcomer Lealea Jones is just what I have been waiting for. This Soul and R&B influenced singer/songwriter although [...]
