My constant rotation ... my vaults 

New Soulchild

R&B crooner Musiq Soulchild is spearheading a Nu Soul Revival, even if he has to do it on his own.  The 12-time Grammy Award nominated singer/songwriter, who burst onto the scene in 2000 with his debut album, Aijuswanaseing is still making music waves almost two decades later.  September 15th will mark the release of the Musiq Soulchild Feel The Real album, his eighth R&B album.

Fresh off his Nu Soul Revival tour with fellow soul singers, Lyfe Jennings, Kindred Family Soul and Avery*Sunshine, Musiq has put together a double disc project to rival anything else in the adult contemporary martket right now.  Already a rare feat for an R&B singer to release a double disc project, but Musiq has an amazing total of 24 tracks.

Mr Seduction sooo Suite ...

Soul Seduction - Mr. ' Urban Hang Suite' Maxwell is back with a vengeance.  His new album drops July 1, that same night he will be the Headliner at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.  To ensure that his 20th Anniversary Celebration is a mega-hit, Maxwell is already on the promotion trek.  For seven years, we basically heard nothing, from him, now he's EVERYWHERE and radio is loving his new single 'Lake By The Ocean'.

Demi's smart $$$ move ...

Singer Demi Lovato ditched Adam Lambert from her world tour in favor of Nick Jonas, and the ‘Ghost Town’ singer is absolutely livid! The reason? It’s just all good for business! Talk about Stone Cold, Demi!

Demi Lovato, 23, decided to switch things up on her world tour and seriously burned opening act Adam Lambert, 33, in the process. Demi’s giving Adam the boot, and asked Nick Jonas, 23, to join her on the road. Adam feels absolutely “betrayed” by Demi’s move, and he’s letting everyone know it!  "Lovato is a 'good' business woman, and this was a great move for business." KK

Adele on the Comeback ...

Get Ready !!!!

"X" marks its Spot ...

Finally - Get ready, Breezy fans. Chris Brown’s 'X' is the upcoming sixth studio album by American recording artist Chris Brown, scheduled to be released on September 16, 2014, through RCA Records. In September 2013, Brown stated that X will be a double disc album, with ten songs on each disc. Chris Brown announced via instagram on August 3rd that his release date would be on September 16, 2014.   Brown, 25, has already teased us with great songs like "Fine China", “Loyal” and “New Flame,” some are calling it a comeback, but I'm calling it a 'Landmark' in his budding career. L'eggo!!

Flashback Who's That ...

Flashback Who's That Thursdays:

Rapper Queen Pen came on the scene in 1997. She had all the ingredients to take the music industry by storm. Being an out of the closest lesbian, so there's the controversy angle, the marketing monies were there, a high profile video on all the video music outlets, super 'then' hot producer Teddy Riley. Having been the first artist to be signed to Riley's 'Lil Man' record label, all eyes were on her and paying attention. Her debut was laced with full on top notch production. The project though almost twenty years old STILL stands, and Is still in my constant rotation. It baffles the mind why this record didn't hit, it easily challenged the Hip Hop females like Eve, Foxy, Lil Kim, Trina, Brat, and Charli Baltimore. During my years working in the music industry, the failure or lack of interest to this project, still have me scratching my head. Take a listen to the link http://youtu.be/qVlVi-sm-2M 
see if you agree with me.

Thicke pay the man ...

Here's a classic lesson to songwriters and future song writers, who try to jack from the classics and then NOT own up to it. It's called a Lawsuit ... In this cause Thicke and crew has to PAY! Click the on the link which plays both of the songs (http://youtu.be/ziz9HW2ZmmY) then you can decide for yourself .... Also feel free to read the article below to see how things played out in court

Flashback Who's That?

Missy Elliot is a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer.  A female trailblazer, in a male Industry of giants.

She got her start in a four girl singing group called SISTA, the group disbanded as they often do.  Thankfully that didnt detour her, under the direction of Sylvia Rhone her Record label executive. The two mad history together.  Elliot's debut CD sold over three million copies, which was unheard of for someone who didnt fit into the ideal weight, ideal look and ideal color.   Thats what made the victory even sweeter.   She and her producer Timbaland became the sought after duo to produce other artists, like Aaliyah and Ginuwine.  Missy has also had MAJOR successes producing on her own working with Beyonce' Knowles, Destiny's Child, 702, SWV, Lil Kim and Whitney Houston.  With over 20 years in the business, she continues to blaze trails and break new ground and currently is in the studios working on her forthcoming CD which will be released this year.

All Hail Beyonce'

Beyonce Knowles 'Beyonce' cd has sold 1.3 million in the first 17 days of release!  Congrats 

Mary J. Blige: Just Fine

One of my ALL time favorite dance floor bangers.  Mary J. Blige did her thing.  The song, the video, the energy, she was doing her thing.  However I always wanted this song to be for Whitney as her return to music in place of her 'I Look To You' project.  She wouldve killed this song.

Queen of Hip Hop soul ...

Eve: Tamborine

Unfortunately Eve's 'Tamborine' CD was never released, this was a feel good song.  Seven years later it still excites me. Let's Go!!!
