Andre.

The Mega-talented soul sister JoJo, always brings that fire. While holding us fans on with singles and mixtapes (since her label won't let her out her contract) , with the infectious "Andre" music video. "Andre" is on the Agape mixtape that dropped back in December. I really hope urban radio will pick up on her because even though JoJo isn't all the way in the spotlight she really loves the craft and is very passionate for her fans and music. Nothing beats that! This is a fun, artsy visual and JoJo sounds and looks amazing. Get it girl!

Mirrors.

 

Mirrors. Very beautiful song and video. Dedicated to Justin's grandparents William (R.I.P.) and Sadie, the video exposes them in several generations. It's a different visual than what we normally would expect from JT. The overall story of love and love lost is an emotional, yet beautiful ride. I would have liked to seen more of Justin in the flick. He doesn't come out until the music breakdown at the end (Which is the best part of the song.) We get to see Justin's fancy footwork (and sick-ass shoes) in a hallway of mirrors. Overall, It's a video you would watch once or multiple times to see Mr. Suit and Tie at the end. (Hehe) Sexy.

Alicia Keys at Staples.

Alicia Keys showed her versatility and undeniable musicianship at her concert at Staples Center on 3/12/13. Can we also talk about how banging her body looked in her tight black jumpsuit-ish outfit?! . Alicia surprisingly sounded amazing. Lately I was worried that she has lost her MOJO with her yelling/stretching effect she's been doing with her voice (Yikkkes!!). I was pleasantly surprise and she put on an outstanding show. Ms. AKeys also knew that she needed to perform the hits, so those of you who don't really know her new stuff like me.. had nothing to worry about. She banged out the hits and did only some of her new stuff. I was singing along the whole way through. Some notable moments is when AK had a duet with the ever so sultry Maxwell (On the jumbo screen) called, "Fire We Make". The moment that got the crowd out their seats was when special guest Kendrick Lamar came out after Alicia serenaded us with a sexy rendition of Janet's slow love jam "Anytime Any Place" (FAWK YEAH). Kendrick of course came in with that "Poetic Justice" and ended his set with "Swimming Pools (Drank)". Over all people forget that being able to play a beautiful instrument, write your own music and sing is no easy task. Alicia makes it look and sound SO elegant. It would be a great date night ;) Go Alicia whooo!

Lets take it back.. One of my faves:

"You Don't Know My Name"

Miguel Doin It LIVE.

So I was super bummed that we missed Miguel open for Alicia Keys last night. We literally walked in on his last note. Luckily I was able to see him the day before in a small intimate show put on by Amp Radio. The venue literally had 100-130 people in it. I was all the way in the front and every minute of it was bliss. It's crazy to see Miguel starting to evolve into the artist I have always seen him; a talented dynamic performer. I also want to say his band was off the hinges. There is nothing like LIVE music that takes you away from reality at that very moment. He started with his lesser known track "Strawberry Amazing" which sounded 100% better LIVE and of course did cuts of Kaleidoscope Dream like "The Thrill" and of course "Adorn". I was disappointed he didn't do my favorite tracks "Do You" and "How Many Drinks". He made it up by doing the song that I fell in love with him in the first place "Sure Thing". Next time I see him he needs to have his own headlining tour.I am sure it will be happening very soon.

 Check out video of his finale "Adorn" and photos. What do you think?

JT 20/20 Experience Review.

As a fan of R&B, Funk, and Futuristic Pop... JT doesn't disappoint with the 20/20 Experience. Compared to Justified and FutureSexLove sounds it is lacking the instant pop sound that you will hear on top 40. Although there are songs on the album that can definitely sit on that list ("Mirrors and "Don't Hold the Wall"). This album is more of a throwback ride with an experimental sound of the 60s rat pack era, fused with Timbaland's hip-hop beats and rhythms. With that being said I will not compare his albums because Justified is completely different from FutureSexLoveSounds and FuturesexLoveSounds is completely different from 20/20. So what does that mean? You have another JT CLASSIC MASTERPIECE!

DOWNLOAD THIS: Shit the whole album but if I have to choose a couple of my favorites it will be "Spaceship Coupe" which the beginning sounds like "You Are Everything" by the stylistics and JT's vocals taking you to the moon.

"That Girl" Another throwback vibe that starts with JT introducing his crew the Tennessee Kids with the horns backing and JT's soulful voice taking the track over limbos rhythmic beats.

"Tunnel Vision" Lets just say you won't be able to sit still for the whole entire song. This song also reminds me of a track off of Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" classic album.

"Let the Groove Get In" Yes shake your booty to this one. I also want to salsa to this one. HOTT and FUNKY

Fashionably Late Vol II.

It has been a while and I apologize! Ready to get this baby back and running. If you ever been to my page you know I ride hard for this guy.....

Travis Garland

I was right about Miguel and now I will tell you this statement: Don't sleep on Travis Garland.  FLVII is such a solid continuation of his prior mixtape, Fashionably Late. FLVII took off  where the last one left and ran circles around it! His sounds are infectious and melodic (Thanks to the production of the Stereotypes). I couldn't be more excited that he took the time to find the niche for his own futuristic sound, to keep up with the likes of Miguel and Frank Ocean. If you are a R&B fan this mixtape is a MUST download. I know you will be hearing so much more from this artist. Wake up !!
