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 the track as [...]
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 hooked, unfortunately [...]
Never Be Lonely by Emily King 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. You can find [...]
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, and she [...]

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 I can’t [...]
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 only 21, boasts [...]

Her album “Plethora” should be released sometime early next year on R2 Records.

Jerome has dropped
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 a long [...]
