I don’t know about you but I love me some
MUSIQ SOULCHILD…
More than a year after the release of his
sophomore album,
Musiq Soulchild AKA
Tallib Johnson is back with his 3rd album. It features 12 R&B and
Neo-Soul tracks with appearances by HIP-HOP/
SOUL’s Queen Miss Mary J.
Blige (who by the way is on the 1st single off the album ‘
IfULeave‘) and, the son of the Late & Great Bob Marley, Damien Marley who’s featured on the last track on the album, ‘
IWannaBe‘.
Released:
December 9th
I’m not sure anymore…
To be perfectly honest I’m not sure I’m liking
Keyshia on this one…’
Playa Cardz‘ seems like a hopeless ploy to add to
Tupac’s long list of after-death duets. But on the flip-side, ‘
Trust (duet with
Monica)’ is a track that I love – I loved it even when
Monica wasn’t on there and I loved it when it leaked and didn’t make the ‘
Just Like You‘ album last year.
Keyshia’s new album dropped on
December 16th.
PS: What ever happened to Monica dropping that new album?
Dannnnng! I even watched the show, and I was feeling the track with
Luda.
Hmmm…Well whenever she does, I will have all the juicy details!
Jamie, Jamie, Jamie..I loves me some
Jamie!
Is it just me that’s been listening to his ‘
Unpredictable‘ album on constant replay? Now that’s a
hella sexy album. I must admit though, it took me a while to get used to the idea of Jamie The Singer, I had a really hard time getting Jamie The Comedian out of my head. He’s grown and sexy now, and he released his 2
nd album last week (
December 16th). The first single off the album features none other than The
Rubberband Man AKA
T.I. himself. Peep the video
here –
Taraji Henson is starring in the video being her usual sassy self.
Not a huge fan…But I’m featuring this one for all the
Common fans.
This is
Common’s 8
th album and after much delay it was finally released on
December 9th. The first
singlehas the same title as the album (
Universal Mind Control) and it features
Pharell who also produced the track. Click
here to check out the video.
Will Hermes referred to Common as ‘
Rap’s Deep Thinker’. He reviewed his new album saying “
On the Biggie-style “Announcement,” he [Common] calls hip-hop his “bitch” — shocking for a guy who made hip-hop his girlfriend on “I Used to Love H.E.R.” Only “Change” finds him back in street-preacher mode; it’s a hopeful tribute to his Chicago homeboy, Obama.”
Before this album
Brandy was just another child prodigy to me but…I’m really feeling her on this one.
From the Intro to the final track I was hooked. After just about 4 years after her worst album release yet, Brandy is back. The album features a branch away from
R&B into a more pop sound. She has matured a lot vocally. the album featured production by
Darkchild AKA Rodney Jerkins. Honestly though….*SIGH*…the reviews ain’t really too great –
411mania.com says “
While the lyrical content is strong, the musical content is too weak to make a mark…The future doesn’t look bright for Ms Norwood.” Check out Brandy’s BET Special
here.
Released:
December 9th
Remember how sexy ‘
The Director‘ album was?
Wooooweee!
8 years and 5 albums later, Avant is back to give us more of that sexy sound and lyrical content in his new
self titled album. When asked about his longevity in the industry
Avant said “
I’ve proved my point. The album reflects who I am. I think one of the reasons I’ve been able to enjoy the kind of longevity I’ve had, is that I write songs that are about real-life situations.“
