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 […]
Miguel
Thursday, February 28th, 2008There is a very thin line between confidence and cockiness, and I still haven’t quite figured out where Miguel lies. He’s got a smooth voice similar to that of Raphael Saadiq, paired with sultry tracks that ooze his confidence in himself. Just check out “Quickie” on his myspace to see for yourself. […]
Alice Smith on “Kimmel”
Friday, February 15th, 2008So due to the fact that I am in Switzerland, I was unable to watch Alice’s performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. I was a little dissapointed with her performance on “Ellen” last month so I was hoping that she would redeem herself here. Regardless of one off kilter performance, this girl is bad, […]

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008I posted about Adele a couple weeks ago, but if you missed her, check her out now as iTunes Single of the Week.
Janelle Monae turns ‘Bad’
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Being hailed as the female version of Prince and Andre 3000, if your looking for music that is a little different, Janelle Monae can most certainly provide it for you. So why would a person with that kind of creativity sign to Bad Boy Records? Your guess is as good as mine, but […]
Lealea Jones knows ‘One Thing Bout Music’
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008After a long weekend there is nothing better than starting off the week with some fresh new music. 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 […]

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Aaron Jerome’s album just dropped earlier this month on BBE. This is his first solo venture after being known for providing remixes for such established artists like Zap Mama, Roy Ayers, and even Amy Winehouse. Capable of making smooth jazzy tracks, to base heavy soulful house, this young South Londoner’s time has been […]

Thursday, January 24th, 2008Ok…so I know everyone has found themselves at some point watching a movie that they know they should never watch. You know, those horribly cheesy romantic comedies in which the only affect they seem to have on you is to make you blubber like a little child? Not that I speak from experience […]
Adele
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Another British songbird…let’s just hope she’s a little more stable than Ms. Winehouse and Ms. Allen. Regardless, Adele is a refreshing voice for the New Year, “19″ out now.
