Classic Alert........Tony! Toni! Tone!~It Never Rains (In Southern California)!!!!!

I have ALWAYS loved this classic!!! It automatically brings me back to my childhood.....when LIFE WAS SIMPLE and SWEET! They certainly don't make music like this anymore!!!

Teedra Moses~Rescue Me!!!!!

I LOVE ME SOME TEEDRA MOSES!!! One of my friends from college put me on to her several years ago!!! Shout out to you MARKITA!!!! This song is my FAVORITE song of hers!!! The melody, harmonies, and lyrics are BOMB!!! I remember her album being entitled Complex Simplicity which OBVIOUSLY resonated with me LOL!!! To give it my OWN FLARE my mom and I thought that it would be cool to add the ED to it LOL!! Plus apparently that was the only acceptable option for me to STAND OUT and have a name that NO ONE ELSE HAD entirely!!! 

Enjoy!

Jade~Don't Walk Away!!!!!!

Growing up I ABSOLUTELY WAS INTO this song!!! My friends and I used to dance our little hearts out to it LOL!!! I cannot express enough how much 90'S R&B is EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!! I do not feel that TODAY'S music has the QUALITY that music from years ago EMBODIED!!!! 

Thank goodness we still have access to these classic jams!!!!

New Music Alert......Trey Songz~1X1!!!!!!!!

Trey Songz just released NEW MUSIC which is featured on his NEW ALBUM entitled Tremaine The Album!!!! This album is NOTHING SHORT of sexy and R&B!!!! This is one of the songs that STOOD OUT to me!!! I LOVE the sample that is being used (which is Crystal Water's "Gypsy Woman")!!!! 

Trey took some time off from the game and DELIVERED a solid album!!!!

Omarion Featuring Pusha T & Fabolous~Know You Better!!!!!

So by now it should be NO SECRET that I am an OMARION fan!! I fell in love with this song a few years ago and have continued to rock out with him ever since!!! This song is a bit EXPLICIT......but I must say that I APPRECIATE music in its TRUEST FORM! So if this isn't your cup of tea....I suggest that you no longer watch this video LOL! This song has such a COOL VIBE and such DOPENESS to it!!! This is like the PERFECT song to do an intimate dance for your significant other!! 

Sidebar, the young lady who is playing Pusha T's love interest is Omarion's children's mother!!!! Maybe they met one another on this video shoot!!!

Thank me later!!!!!

A Tribe Called Quest~The Love!!!!!!!

I LOVE A Tribe Called Quest and this is one of my FAVORITE Songs of theirs!!!! This song is all about spreading LOVE and POSITIVITY!!! The beat is EVERYTHING and SOOOO MY VIBE!!!! Many may not know about this song.......so thank me later LOL!!!! 

Enjoy!

June's Diary~Stay (Jodeci Cover)!!!!!!!

I am VERY EXCITED about this cover!!! These girls can SANG!!!!! I think that they did a GREAT job and put their own STANK on it!!! I cannot wait until they finally drop an album!!! Their outfits were ON and the vibe of the video was EVERYTHING!! 

Can you tell that I am a fan????!!!!! 

Sidebar, this is one of my FAVORITE Jodeci songs!!!!

Zhane~Request Line!!!!!!!!!!

This is my jam right here!!!!! I have LOVED Zhane's music since I was in elementary school!!! Their music just feels SO GOOD  and SO 90'S!!!! Every time that I listen to their music I get the same vibe like when I was starting to fall in love with my husband or when I had a crush growing up lol!!! 

Enjoy this throwback!!!

Classic Artist Alert.........The Notorious B.I.G.~"Big Poppa"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So today marks the 20 year anniversary of Biggie Smalls AKA The Notorious B.I.G.S' death. Sometimes it is so hard to believe that it has really been 20 years!! I remember being in junior high school when I got the devastating news of his passing. The MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION for most people is....if B.I.G. was still alive where would he rank in the list of HIP HOP GREATS???? I think that he still would have been KILLING IT  and would have helped to keep NEW YORK STYLE HIP HOP alive!!!! 

RIP B.I.G.! 

Sidebar, "Big Poppa" is one of my FAVORITE songs of B.I.G. especially because he used a classic sample from the Isley Brothers song entitled "In Between The Sheets"!!!!

The Former Group~Rich Girl!!!!!

I used to TOTALLY BE HERE FOR the group RICH GIRLl!!! I remember going to the Beyonce Experience concert and they were the OPENING ACT!! This group is comprised of my girl Sevyn Streeter and Kristal Lyndriatte of June's Diary. This was the  well known producer Rich Harrison's group! I thought that they were very talented and was hopeful that they would have lasted longer than they did. Sevyn Streeter ended up going solo and making a name for herself, Brave (the blonde) is also a solo artist and was on R&B Divas LA, and Kristal is in the group called June's Diary. I guess it was not meant for them to be a group.....however, I still like to watch their live performances! 

Enjoy this clip of Rich Girl!!!

Keyshia Cole Featuring Tupac~Playa Cardz Right!!!!!!!

This is one of my VERY FAVORITE Keyshia Cole songs to date!!! When she first debuted, I thoroughly enjoyed her style of music! I liked that she had a STREET, RAW, and MELODIC approach to R&B!!! She has not quite been able to get back on top the way she once was however, she is dropping a new album and signed a record deal with a major label. Hopefully this will help her to JUMP START her career. 

Having Tupac on the song just TOOK THINGS TO ANOTHER LEVEL!!!!

Brandy~Best Friend!!!!!!

So it should be pretty known by now that I am and have ALWAYS been a Brandy fan!! Growing up, I knew this self titled album from front to back! I overall LOVED Brandy's swag when it came to her style of singing, dancing, and style of dress! This is one of my FAVORITE songs from her because of  the music but also the MESSAGE! From young I knew the importance of having a BEST FRIEND and knowing how to BE a best friend! 

I also APPRECIATED that she would always have her younger brother RAY J in a lot of her music videos!!!! I used to think that he was the FINEST thing ever!!!!!

Enjoy this CLASSIC THROWBACK!!!!

Classic Artist And Song Alert.......Al Green~How Can You Mend A Broken Heart!!!!!!

Al Green is definitely one of my FAVORITE classic artists.....which is why it was a NO BRAINER for me to blog about this song!!!! Anytime you go through a breakup it is ALWAYS helpful to have some songs on deck that can help you have a GOOD CRY!!! I also love Al Green's CROONING abilities that he displayed in this clip!!!! I am pretty sure that he would have MANY pairs of panties on stage while performing!!!!

They do not make artists the way they used to!!!!

Bobby Brown~Take It Slow!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my FAVORITE songs on the classic Bobby Brown album entitled Don't Be Cruel!!!!! This song did not get many radio spins but is still GREAT in my eyes!!! It just gives that classic FEEL GOOD moment!!! 

There is nothing wrong with taking things SLOW folks!!!!!

Classic Artist Alert............Marvin Gaye~Mercy Mercy Me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marvin Gaye's music is EVERYTHING and MORE!!!! This song is such a CLASSIC and had a great message! I LOVE that Marvin Gaye was SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS when it came to his music!!! Every time that I hear this song, I think of a time when LIFE WAS WAY MORE SIMPLE!!! It is true FEEL GOOD MUSIC!!! I so wish that I was alive when he was at his PRIME!!! 

I am thankful that his music is STILL ALIVE!!!

Lauryn Hill~Ex Factor!!!!!!!!!!!!

First things first, this song is SUCH A CLASSIC!!! Lauryn Hill was EVERYTHING back in the early 2000's!!!! I wish that she stayed in the MUSIC GAME the way she came in!!! Her voice was so unique and beautiful! I also LOVED that she had a CONSCIOUS MESSAGE!!! This song was my JAM and STILL is!!!! 

Enjoy this throwback on a thursday!!!!

Bruno Mars Performing 24K Magic At The American Music Awards!!!!

This is ABSOLUTELY my jam!!! I waited to blog about this song because I wanted to get a BOMB performance clip! Bruno Mars is UBER TALENTED and KILLED it with his most recent album entitled 24K Magic!!! He can PERFORM his butt off as well! I have got to see him in concert!!!! I bump this album from top to bottom!!!!!

Jon B~Whatcha Say Boo!!!!!!

This is my JAM right here!!!! This song is CLASSIC Jon B music and such a great song! Who does not like a song about a wedding proposal???? I was actually watching Jon B's Unsung episode a few days ago......and was reminded of HOW MUCH I LOVE this song! I wish that there were more R&B songs that stood for MARRIAGE! In watching his Unsung I learned of the adversity he faced at times as a white male trying to break into the R&B side of the music industry. I am glad that he STUCK TO HIS INSTINCTS and his MUSICAL AESTHETIC....because if he didn't we would not have had some great songs!!!!! 

Dave Hollister~Take Care Of Home!!!!!!!

I just finished watching Dave Hollister's Unsung and had NO IDEA about his story!!! He struggled with being faithful to his wife and with addictions to cocaine and alcohol. It's crazy how you never really truly know a lot of these artists' stories!!! He came out during an era where social media did not exist....which is probably why I had no clue about his struggles!! Dave Hollister was apart of two different singing groups which includes the CLASSIC GROUP.....BLACKSTREET!!! He also had a few solo projects throughout his career. This song is from the Chicago 85 album, which is my favorite of his solo endeavors! I LOVE this song because I find it to be VERY TRUE!! For the married folks out there......it is UBER IMPERATIVE and IMPORTANT for us to spend time putting our family and home lives first! Once we start putting other people and things ahead of our spouse and or children.......the marriage begins to fall apart. I give it to Dave Hollister for being SO TRANSPARENT as he was going through this very thing at that time! 

I was also glad to see that he gave his life to Christ and returned to the church....as he was born and raised in the church. I can definitely empathize with losing your way at times and straying from God as I have been and at times am still guilty of this very thing! 

Let's take care of home folks!!!

Bell Biv Devoe Featuring Boyz II Men~One More Try!!!!!!!

This duet is on BBD's new album that was released two weeks ago! This duet comes FULL CIRCLE for me....especially after learning that Michael Bivans is who DISCOVERED the ICONIC group Boyz II Men!!! I LOVE the vibe and feel of this song! It is definitely a BBQ type of jam to blast while grilling outside with your guests!!!

​The BBD album is PRETTY GOOD if I say so myself! 

One Of My Favorite Songs........Ruff Endz~Someone To Love You!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!!  I figured that TODAY would be a great day to post yet another LOVE SONG LOL!!! I fell in love with this song since I was a teenager! It is so PRETTY and TOUCHES MY HEART every time that I hear it! It makes me wonder....what happened to this group? They only had two MAJOR SINGLES that charted. I wish that they would make a comeback! 

Enjoy this day that LOVE is acknowledged NATIONALLY!!! 

New Song Alert.........DJ Khaled~Shining Featuring Beyonce & Jay Z!!!!!!

Coming off of the heels of the Grammy's....DJ Khaled released his new single with Beyonce and Jay Z!!! I ABSOLUTELY AM HERE FOR IT!!! It has a nice old school feel with new school vibes!!! It is no secret that I am fans of this couple and DJ Khaled is great at bringing the right people together in order to create SMASH HITS!!!  They all are WINNING as they have/are welcoming bundles of joy into the world!

Enjoy!

Classic Artist Alert.......Al Jarreau~We're In This Love Together!!!!!!

I learned today that the ICONIC Al Jarreau passed away today at 76 years old. I grew up listening to his music and always LOVED this very song!!! The message of this song is so POWERFUL as it discusses how WE'RE IN THIS LOVE TOGETHER! Our country (America) could stand to hear this message more and more right now!!! Al Jarreau was NICE at singing jazz and scatting!

​His music will truly be missed! 

Uncle Charlie's New Single~I'm Blessed!!!!!!!

Uncle Charlie is and has always been such a BOMB artist and performer!!! This is his newest single entitled "I'm Blessed"!!! I LOVE the message of this song and the melodic quality! Unfortunately this is the only version that I am permitted to post so please do not be alarmed if it cuts off around the 2:00 minute mark. I still wanted you to get a feel of this song! Uncle Charlie has some tour dates coming up so look out for them on Ticketmaster and Stubhub!!!

Enjoy!

Classic Song Alert........Black Moon~ I Got Cha Opin (Remix)!!!!!!

This song right here is SOOOO CLASSIC!!! What y'all know about Black Moon????!!! I remember ROCKING to this song when I was younger!!! They are sampling the ICONIC Barry White!!!! This is what HIP HOP is all about in my book!!!! 

Enjoy this walk down MEMORY LANE!!!

Rick Ross Featuring Ty Dolla Sign~I Think She Like Me!!!!!

So many of you may not know that I like Rick Ross' music! I feel like he gets some of the BEST BEATS in the game! He is sampling the CLASSIC Stylistics song "People Make The World Go Round"!!! I will keep it all the way REAL.....he is talking about some SLACKNESS in this song.....but I have always made it CLEAR that I like music in its TRUEST FORM! Don't judge me....GOD IS STILL DEALING WITH ME lol!!! 

Music Soulchild~Simple Things!!!!!

So it is NO SECRET that I AM A FAN of Musiq Soulchild!! This is a new song of his entitled "Simple Things"!!! I LOVE the vibe and message of this song!!! We all wish that we could have it all....but what does this matter if we have NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH!!! The melody, musicality, and harmonies are EVERYTHING!!! I believe if we focus on the simple things in life and how BLESSED WE ALL actually are, the better we would enjoy OUR LIVES!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Beyonce's Take On The Rose Royce Classic......Wishing On A Star!!!!!!

So I thought that it would be very befitting to blog about a song that Beyonce covered being how she revealed her PREGNANCY NEWS today!!! A congratulations are in order for the Carters and their TWIN BUNDLES OF JOY!!! My girls and I who were in a singing group sang this song on a few occasions and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!! I really love Beyonce's take on this classic because the harmonies and melodies are so DOPE and intricate!!! Now please do not get me wrong....I LOVE the original version however, I THOROUGHLY ENJOY Beyonce's perspective of this hit!!!
​

Joe~Friends Don't Let Friends!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN A FAN of Joe since I was in elementary school!!!! I ABSOLUTELY love this song!!! I remember playing it ALL OF THE TIME when in the first car that I ever had......which was a 95 Toyota Camry that my sister in law at the time gave me!!! You could not tell me anything when I was bumping this song in my White Camry!!! This song is so SEXY and so R&B!!! Joe did an EXCELLENT job of carving out his own lane within the R&B game!! I saw him perform live on two occasions and he was ON POINT each time!!! 

Avant~When It Hurts!!!!!!!

Avant is FOR SURE one of my favorite R&B artists!!! The hubby and I fell in love with this song years ago and still FEEL this jam!!! I definitely agree with the message!!! It discusses the hard times in relationships and the importance of LOVING ONE ANOTHER EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!!! 

Enjoy!

Classic Artist And Song Alert......Keith Murray~The Most Beautiful Thing In This World!!!!!

I have ALWAYS loved this song!!! It reminds me of my childhood lol!!! Keith Murray was WHAT IT WAS back in the 90's!!!! This song SCREAMS that era...which of course happens to be one of my FAVORITE musical eras EVER!!!! 

I wish music was to THE LEVEL that it was years ago!!!!!

New Edition Story~Mr Telephone Man!!!!!!

Today was the last night of the New Edition story....and it was EVERYTHING THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MORE!!!! This was the BEST biopic that I have ever watched!! This is one of my favorite New Edition songs along with the two others that I recently blogged about!!! They were GREAT from young!!! Success and fame can be a DRUG even when you achieve it at an early age!! It says a lot that they have managed to remain a group AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS and AFTER ALL OF THE DRAMA that they survived and continue to experience!! 

Job well done to all parties involved in telling the New Edition story!!!! 

New Edition Story~Is This The End!!!!!

Being how tonight was the debut of the New Edition biopic I will continue to blog about some of my FAVORITE songs of theirs!!! "Is This The End" is one of my LOVES!! I enjoy how the melody changes to an unexpected jazz moment lol!!! It is also very REMINISCENT the Jackson 5!!! 

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED part one of the biopic and am looking forward to watching part two!!!!! 

New Edition Story~You're Not My Kind Of Girl!!!!!!

I am UBER excited to watch the three part Biopic of New Edition that debuts on January 24th!!!! This is one of my FAVORITE New Edition songs EVER!! Furthermore, I have so many questions about their story....such as how did they get their start? Why was Bobby Brown kicked out of the group? Why did they replace him with Johnny Gill? How did they come up with the group name New Edition? The list truly goes on!!!! 

Be sure to watch their biopic tomorrow (1/24/17) on BET at 9 PM!!!!!!

Jennifer Hudson Featuring Fantasia~"I'm His Only Woman"!!!!!!

This collaboration was so GENIUS to me!!!!! Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia not only have BOMB voices but also were on the same season of American Idol....which is what makes this duet SO SPECIAL!!!! These ladies are SANGING!!! The subject matter unfortunately is still relevant today as there are still a lot of women out there who are engaging in relationships where the other party is already taken!!! Jennifer is not trying to hear Fantasia out in this song and Fantasia is just trying to relay to Jennifer that their guy is LYING TO BOTH OF THEM!!!! 

The world would be way more simpler if we all would be OPEN and HONEST with ourselves and our significant others!!!! 

Kid The Whiz~Love Come Down Remix Challenge!!!!!

So I am a fan of the original version of the epic song entitled "Love Come Down" by Evelyn Champagne King!! However, I must say that I enjoy this remix and dance challenge!! I will definitely have this Love Come Down challenge at my next house party!!! Kid The Wiz is the the one who did the remix and started the challenge. He was on the show America's Got Talent where he performed this. In this clip, Diddy's sons Christian and Justin are dancing! I like their FLARE and SKILLS and decided to showcase them!!!  

Enjoy!

50 Cent Featuring Joe~Big Rich Town!!!!!!

So as most of you know....this is the THEME SONG for the INTRIGUINGLY AMAZING show POWER!!! I must admit that I just started tuning into Power due to not having the Starz channel. But, now that I have access I am TOTALLY LOCKED IN lol!!! I LOVE the theme song and feel that it embodies the essence of the show PERFECTLY!! It is SOOOOO 50 Cent!!!! This show is SEXY, has a CRAZY PLOT, and is very REALISTIC to what the drug game on the streets is really about!!! After every episode I ask the characters through the television screen (as if they can hear me lol) IS THE MONEY AND THE POWER WORTH IT AT THE END OF THE DAY?????

Ne-Yo~Champagne Life!!!!!!!!!!

So this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Ne-Yo song EVER!!!!!! This track is SO GROWN and SEXY!!! It is the perfect CELEBRATORY song to play because it gets everyone in the right mood!!! Ne-Yo is a very talented singer/songwriter and did a great job of CARVING his own lane since he stepped on the scene!!!! 

I am definitely about that CHAMPAGNE LIFE!!!!

Lupe Fiasco~Kick Push!!!!!!

I have always been a FAN of Lupe Fiasco!! Probably because he seemed to come from the school of A Tribe Called Quest!!! He is a CONSCIOUS RAPPER!!! I wish that he would release some NEW music!!! When he first came out he had such a fresh yet nostalgic sound!

I figured I would take us all back with this one!!! 

Eric Roberson~Obstacles!!!!!!!

This has been ONE OF MY FAVORITE songs for YEARS!!!! My fellow Nyack College members WOULD AGREE!!!! Eric Roberson is a DOPE NEO SOUL artist who I have been following for over 10 years!!! I LOVE this song because he is being SUPER TRANSPARENT!!! Many of us who are in marriages or relationships WOULD NOT ADMIT to the level of temptation that can come your way!!! It takes true discipline to SAY NO lol!!! I am here to encourage those of us who are in marriages and committed relationships to ABSTAIN from cheating on our better halves!!! The grass is not EVER greener on the other side.......let's spend that time and energy WATERING OUR OWN GRASS!!! 

One Of My Favorite Songs From A Classic Artist.......Monica~Just Right For Me!!!!

This is MY SONG RIGHT HERE!!!! I fully stand for the message and LOVE the groove of the song!!! This is so part of MY MUSICAL AESTHETIC!!!! Let me just say that Monica was DOING HER GOOD SANGING!!! Having Lil Wayne on the track added the NECESSARY EDGE!!!!

Sidebar, I would sing this song to my husband whenever we decide to RENEW OUR VOWS!!!

Enjoy!

LL Cool J~Luv U Better!!!!!!

This is one of my FAVORITE LL Cool J songs!! I remember being in college when this song came out.......and I would keep it on REPEAT!!! My roommate and next door neighbors must have been sick of me lol!!! As we all know, LL Cool J had a SEXY RAPPER PERSONA that would render me helpless at times lol!!!!! I also LOVED the fact that this song was produced by the Neptunes!!!!! 

Q-Tip Featuring D'Angelo~Believe!!!!!!

So it is DEFINITELY NO SECRET that I am a FAN of Q-Tip and D'Angelo!!! This collobaration was GENIUS in my book! This song is so positive, NEO SOUL, and just BOMB! If you are a lover of NEO SOUL like I am......then this is the SONG FOR YOU!!! 

Enjoy!
#throwbackthursday

Classic Group Alert.......Destiny's Child~ No, No, No Part 1 & 2!!!!!!!!

Let me just say how much I LOVE DESTINY'S CHILD!!! This song is one of my favorite's from their extensive repertoire of music!!! To be one hundred percent honest......I prefer the original version of the song "No, No, No" because it was so R&B and sexy!!!! That Beyonce sure has such a MELODIC voice!!!!! I remember being 16 years old and singing my heart out to every song that was on their second album entitled "The Writings On The Wall"!!! That record was SO DOPE and DIFFERENT!!!!! 

Enjoy!

Classic Artist And Song Alert......Rick James~Mary Jane!!!!!

Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!!

Sometimes we tend to forget about what those who may not have family and loved ones to spend the holidays with do on Christmas and New Year's Eve/Day!!!. I immediately thought of this song and decided to share it!!!

Joe just dropped an album on 11/11/16 entitled #MYNAMEISJOETHOMAS!!!! This album is rumored to be his FINAL album....which I am hoping is NOT TRUE!!! I listened to the album and immediately fell in love with about 4 songs!!! The rest of the album I may have to LIVE WITH. This song is a FAMOUS sample from Otis Redding's Try A little Tenderness. I like how he used significant songs that represent our country within the sample....which is so befitting for all of what has been happening in the world today!!! 

Enjoy!

Classic Group Alert.......Silk~Hooked On You!!!!!!

Silk was another guy group that was apart of my growing up during the 90's!!! I used to LOOOOOOVE this song!!! So much so that I recorded it from the radio lol!!!! Watching this clip brings me back to being in my bedroom laying on the floor after being tired from dancing my heart out lol!!! I appreciated their sound as a group which helped to set them apart from some of the other popular groups such as Boyz II Men, Color Me Badd, Jodeci, Dru Hill, Shai, Blackstreet, H-Town, Mint Condition, Jagged Edge, and the list goes on!!!!! 

I really enjoyed that groups and solo artists during this era all had their OWN DISTINCT sounds......unlike today, where everyone wants to sound and be like everyone else!!!!

Busta Rhymes Featuring Zhane~It's A Party!!!!!!

This song SOOOOO brings me back to being in elementary/junior high school!!!!! It is such a classic! I have always LOVED Busta Rhymes and Zhane!!! Even when I hear this song now.....I GET MY DANCE ON!!! 

Happy Throwback Thursday!!!!

Shai Featuring Jay-Z~I Don't Wanna Be Alone!!!!!!!

This is my JAM!!!!!!! I BLAST THIS SONG all of the time!!!! It is the EPITOME of the 90's!!!!! Shai was a boy group from the 90's that were most known for their song "If I Ever Fall In Love" which was a SMASH!!! It is no secret that I am a Jay-Z fan.....so in my mind this was a DOPE collaboration!!! 

Enjoy this oldie but goodie!!!!!!

Dru Hill~Tell Me!!!!!!!!

Anytime that I hear a Dru Hill song it AUTOMATICALLY BRINGS ME BACK to my high school days!!! I will be honest, it took me some time to warm up to this group because I thought that they were Jodeci SWAGGER JACKERS lol!!! But...... I must say that Dru Hill was BOMB!!! They are very talented and brought something true to the game of R&B!!! I wish that they would put out consistent music.....however, I do recognize that GROUP DYNAMICS can affect this possibility!

Sidebar, when I watch this clip I FALL OUT LAUGHING  at how high they were jumping!!!!!! 

#CLASSICMUSIC

Mary J. Blige~Thick Of It!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song!!! Mary is killing it right now and I am SOOOO looking forward to her new album! I FEEL BADLY that she is GOING THROUGH IT right now........but we all already know that HER PAIN WILL BIRTH A MASTERPIECE!!! 

I have got to get tickets to her tour with Maxwell!!!!!!

Ray J~One Wish!!!!!!

I have always thought that Ray J is TALENTED and fell in love with this song "One Wish" from the time it first came out! I ESPECIALLY LOVE the BEGINNING of the song. I remember playing the first 40 seconds of this song OVER and OVER again!!! I feel that Ray J is underrated as an R&B singer and is not given the props that he should get! Vocally his musical aesthetic is not that far away from his sister's!!! I also really LIKED this album Raydiaytion!!! 

After watching Love and Hip Hop Hollywood this past Monday where they showed he and Princess' wedding, I was reminded of his music!  Sometimes I wish that he would give his music career just as much focus as he does his reality star career!! 

Sidebar, I used to think he was the FINEST thing my eyes had ever seen when I was a teenager!!!!

My Favorite Christina Aguilera Song~Loving Me For Me!!!!!!

This is ABSOLUTELY my favorite Christina Aguilera song of ALL TIME! Her voice is SO RICH and PURE!!! In my book, she is one of the top 10 vocalist in the POP/R&B world! I also really DIG the message in this song!!!!

I hope that she puts out another album soon!!!!

CD101.9 Edition~Spyro Gyra Shaker Song!!!!!

Growing up my parents always played Cd101.9 in the car....probably because it was not too WORLDLY lol!!!! I always LOVED this radio station because I was attracted to jazz music from the time that I was a LITTLE GIRL!!!! I actually remember this song as it was one of my FAVORITES!!! I remember humming along to the melody and memorizing all of the songs that I liked!!! Jazz music will always be a FIRST LOVE of mine!!!! Hearing this song as I am typing is bringing me back to being about 10 years old!!!!!

Many do not understand how DEEP my love for jazz music really goes!!!!

One Of My Favorite Usher Songs!!!!!

This song brings me back to my COLLEGE SUMMER BREAK DAYS!!!! My hometown girls and I would blast this album every time we were in one of our girlfriend's car!! We also spent a lot of time that summer dancing to the hits from the Confessions album in the club!! This was one of Usher's best bodies of work in my opinion!!!!

​Its amazing how music can really bring you back to a point and time in your life!!!

Justin Timberlake~Senorita!!!!!!!!!!

If you did not know....I am a FAN of Justin Timberlake (even from NSYNC days)!! This is one of my FAVORITE SONGS of his!! Pharrell produced this song and I have always felt that they have GREAT CHEMISTRY MUSICALLY!!! Justin Timberlake is UBER talented and has made a SERIOUS NAME for himself...even post boy band days!! Every time that I hear this song I just zone into full DANCE MODE!!! 

Justin sure got some SOUL!!!!

One Of My Favorite Kanye West Songs~Everything I Am!!!!!!

I FELL IN LOVE with this Kanye West song from the "Graduation Album" years ago!! I completely stand behind this message. I decided to blog about this song as it ties into the audio recording that I just posted! A lot of times society brainwashes us into thinking that we have to all BE A CERTAIN WAY (looks, careers, perspective, etc). I have always felt the need to be a true INDIVIDUAL and did not want to be LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! I felt how Kanye broke this message down! Please don't forget to listen to the audio recording that supports this message in the audio blogs & vlogs section of the website!!!

Classic Artist And Song Alert......Grand Puba~I Like It!!!!!!

So I have been on a 90's rap KICK lately!! Growing up I used to LOVE Grand Puba's music! It EMBODIED that era of rap music! Being how today is Thursday.......I figured that I would hit you with a THROWBACK!!!! 

Sidebar, the sample from this song is from the Debarges' hit "I like It'! I always love to see rappers paying HOMAGE to LEGENDS!!!

Enjoy!

Bahamadia~Uknowhowwedu!!!!!!!!

As a teenager I used to LOVE this song! I felt the BEAT because it had sounds of jazz fusion!! I remember listening to the radio with hopes that this song would come on so that I could record it! I wonder what happened to Bahamadia??? She was talented and had a decent flow. 

Have you ever heard this song? Hit me up in the contact section of the website!!!

Tevin Campbell!!!!!!!!!!

So Tevin Campbell has always been one of my FAVORITE artists from the 90's!! Every time that I hear his music it brings back SO MANY MEMORIES!! Good ones of course!!!! We all know the song "Can We Talk" as it was like an ANTHEM!! I also LOVE his version of Stevie Wonder's song "Knocks Me Off My Feet" that was featured on the movie soundtrack from A Thin Line Between Love And Hate!

​He sure can SANG!!!!! I feel that his music is TIMELESS and wish that he would put out NEW music! 

Enjoy! 

R Kelly~Mrs. Santa Claus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The holiday season is quickly approaching us and I AM lOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! Christmas is my FAVORITE HOLIDAY of them all!!! It is also NO SECRET that I am a fan of R Kelly!! He dropped this Christmas album ( 12 Nights Of Christmas) a few days ago and it is nothing SHORT OF GENIUS in my eyes!!! I recognize that I am biased as I am a true fan. However, I PRIDE MYSELF on knowing GREAT MUSIC!! This song is such a classic sounding R Kelly hit lol! I have been bumping this album in my car for the past few days as a way to dive into the upcoming holiday season!  Hey, I don't see nothing wrong with a little HOLIDAY SEXY!! 

The Amazing Eric Benet And His Daughter India~You're The Only One!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the first clip of Eric Benet and his daughter India singing one of MY FAVORITE songs "You're The Only One"!!! India has a PRETTY VOICE!! His talent certainly runs in their family! I also decided to add a clip of the original music video because I love this song THAT MUCH! This was one of the songs that I sang to my husband on our WEDDING DAY!! I think that there is such a BEAUTIFUL DECLARATION that is PROFESSED in this song!! 

Eric Benet is a PHENOMENAL singer and has carved out a great lane for himself! Sometimes, I feel that he is not apart of THE CONVERSATION as much as he should be..... when it comes to UBER TALENTED R&B singers!! This man has MASTERED HIS VOCAL CRAFT!!!!

Enjoy this throwback!!!!

Classic Artist And Song Alert......Michel'le~Something In My Heart!!!!!!

So earlier in the week I blogged about Michel'le's biopic and decided to blog about her SMASH single "Something In My Heart"!!! She had a RICH and MATURE sounding voice even when she was a TEENAGER!!! It is unfortunate that she went through A LOT of things during her claim to fame! This song will always be a CLASSIC in my book. The world will always REMEMBER her for this song!!!

Classic Group Alert............After 7~Baby I'm For Real!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Y'all Know About the group After 7 lol!!!! This is a remake of one of my favorite OLDIES BUT GOODIES "Baby I'm For Real".  This song was remade from......the ORIGINALS!!! After 7 definitely DID THEIR THING with their version. This song just makes me feel SOOOOO GOOD!!!! This kind of music is just PRICELESS and TIMELESS!!!

Enjoy!

Janet Jackson Damita Jo Album~I Want You!!!!!

This album is one of my FAVORITE Janet Jackson albums (the third favorite to be exact)!! This album came out when I was in college. I remember my friend and I going to Best Buy and we both ended up purchasing this album! I still play a lot of the songs from this body of work....even today! This song entitled "I Want You" was the lead single. I enjoyed the sound of this project and always felt that the MUSICAL CHEMISTRY between Janet and her former lover Jermaine Dupri was GREAT! 

Sidebar, I will like to send an early CONGRATULATIONS  to Janet Jackson on her pregnancy!!! 

Raphael Saadiq Featuring Q-Tip~Get Involved!!!!!!

I have LOVED this song since I was in high school!!! Every time the music video would come on I would go CRAZY lol!! I SOOOO WISH music was the way that it was during my growing up!! I am a FAN of both of these artist and thought that their chemistry was ON!!!! 

Enjoy this throwback!!!!

Dreezy Featuring T-Pain~Close To You!!!!!!!

This is actually a song that my husband put me on to last year! I fell in love with the VIBE of the song.....and it is NO SECRET that I am a T-Pain fan! He was SANGING on his verse lol!!! I love R&B that has a sexy feel and flow!! This song is for the LOVERS out there!!! Dreezy is a talented artist in her own right as well! Look out for her!

Enjoy!

New Kelly Rowland Song~Dumb Ft. Trevor Jackson!!!!!!!!!!

So it is no secret that I am a FAN of Kelly Rowland!! She just put out this single entitled "Dumb". I will be honest, when I first heard the song I did not care for it. HOWEVER, after listening to it a few times it definitely GREW ON ME! It is a great song to DANCE and HAVE FUN TO!!! I am looking forward to hearing MORE music from Mrs. Kelly Rowland!! 

Lloyd.........Another Underrated Artist!!!!!!

Do you remember the R&B singer Lloyd who was signed to Murda Inc records back in the day? I always enjoyed his take on R&B music and have followed his career since he stepped on the scene! Unfortunately when the record label disbanded he DISAPPEARED. Well..... he is back on the scene with a new single called "Tru" which I LOVE! However, today I decided to blog about one of his songs from his second album that I FELL IN LOVE WITH! This song FEELS GOOD and is so PRETTY!! This is totally my stye of music!! 

The 90's Era of Music!!!!!!!!!!

This is my absolute FAVORITE Jodeci song ever!! I play this song all of the time in my car, at home, and at my job lol!! Its just one of those songs that makes you feel good! I am an 80's baby but I prefer the era of 90's music. They do not make music like this anymore! I am so glad that I grew up in 90's...the time of good music from Hip Hop to R&B to Gospel to Jazz and the list keeps going on. Having experienced such genius artists has helped me to develop my own musical creativity over the years. With that said....welcome to my world of music. You will experience how I hear and see music. I know it sounds a little crazy but I not only literally hear music.....I also see it! 

I Still Love Case's music!!!!!!!!!

I have always loved listening to Case's music. I actually baby sat two of his children when I was teenager! I bet you would have never guessed that lol!! My family and I lived next door to his children's grandparents' house. It was a cool experience meeting him and watching his kids! It makes for a dope story! I also went to junior high school and high school with his little sister. But back to Case's music.....I enjoyed his take on R&B with a slight Hip Hop edge. I am a sucker for good R&B music! I pretty much support all of his art. This song has a real easy going feel with some jazz tones! I play this song a lot on my 45 minute ride home from work. Its calming and feels good when you are unwinding from a busy day! Check out his last album called Heaven's Door! 

The Reason Why My Ear Hears Bizarre Notes!!!!!!!!!

Brandy was my favorite singer growing up! I loved how she heard the types of notes that I did and then some! I have every album and still bump to her music 20 years later!! She is a vocal beast and a lot of artists in various genres of music have taken many pages out of her vocal book! I have to experience her singing live!! That would be the most epic concert ever! I remember I used to love her fashion style and watched the show Moesha religiously lol!! She is an icon in her own right! I just wanted to take y'all back real quick! Enjoy!

I have the Erykah Badu Fever!!!!!!!!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVE ERYKAH BADU!!!!!!!!!!!! I have got to see her perform live!! She is authentic to who she is especially when it comes to her music which is why she has these kind of magical moments on the stage! I bet you didn't know that she could belt those high notes out like that !!!! This is one of my favorite Erykah Badu songs! I use to have it on repeat in my college dorm room freshman year, lol!! It's like I felt where she was coming from even though I did not have any bills to be paid at that time other than college tuition; and my parents had that handled lol!! But what she is talking about is real in this song! The band was killing it too!! 

Mary J. Blige.......A Moving Performance!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I watched this performance from Mary J. Blige. It brought me to tears. This was during the hurricane Katrina tragedy. Not many people have the gift to move the audience to tears which is one of the abilities that Mary J. Blige has. She may not always have flawless performances but she is just as effective because she evokes emotion out of her audience. She truly knows how to sing through her pain! She is another artist that I would love to see perform live. She also will hit you with some amazing jazz notes and tones in her songs! She is another icon in her own right! 

Ladies And Gentleman.....My Favorite Gospel Artist.....Mr. Doobie Powell!!!!!

My name is Channel Casimir and I love Doobie Powell!!!!!!!!! He is my favorite Gospel artist! I am a true lover of jazz music and he incorporates a lot of jazz elements into his music. This is a clip of him singing a cut from his most recent album entitled, Future. The song is called Worthy Is The Lamb. I NEED to experience his music LIVE! He is still considered as being an underground artist. I beg of you to check out his last album called Future. It will encourage your soul, and bless your heart (said in my southern girl voice). I will write more posts showcasing his music because I think that it is genius! 

Here is another one of my favorite Doobie Powell songs! I learned about his music when I was in college. I went to Nyack College by the way, (shout out to all of my Nyackers)! I have had this song on repeat ever since lol. Enjoy! 

I love this song! It speaks to my heart every time I play it! Every now and then we need to remind ourselves of this message! One of the lines are "I decided to make Jesus my choice" and "He is my choice". May we all be reminded of this! Enjoy! 

This song reminds me of what we would have sung during my Nyack College More Than Conquerors Gospel Choir days!! I am pretty sure a lot of my fellow singing Nyackers would agree lol!! We sung a few Doobie Powell songs in our day! It almost makes me want to put together a "One Night Only " concert with the More than Conquerors Gospel Choir! I must say everyone was so very talented! I don't know if we all realize how special those times were and how our talents, gifts, and God given abilities could have been professionally recorded! Maybe one day if it is God's will for us! Anyhow enjoy this choir jam! 

The Donell Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my favorite Donell Jones songs ever! It brings me back to my high school days where I would be hanging out with one of my girlfriends at her house watching music videos. Every time this video would come on it just made me feel good inside! Almost like that Summertime feeling! Sometimes I feel that people forget about the niche that he had in R&B music! Enjoy this flashback! It's almost Summertime folks! Lets bring on the feel good music! 

Another Summertime Favorite!!!!!!!!!!

This is another song that puts me in a Summertime feel good mood! I was in high school when this song came out. When I hear it it brings me back to the days of puppy love and carefree living! Even today, I blast this song in my car and house! I wish music today provided this easy breezy feeling! I am so in a Summertime mood! 

My Girls..........Destiny's Child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to blog/post about my DC girls......especially after an episode of Chasing Destiny! I love the friendship and sisterhood that they have with one another which always resonated in their performances! Beyonce was doing her GOOD singing in this performance! I love how she gets lost in the music and just simply PERFORMS!! I love how Kelly always seems to be a TEAM PLAYER and plays her role very well in the group since the beginning! I also love how Michelle brings the COMEDY and LAUGHS to the group. She also does a good job at playing her role! I have had the privilege of watching them perform live at the Destiny Fulfilled and Loving It tour back in 2005....it was EPIC! They each can hold their own vocally and performance wise! I hope that they come together again to make amazing art! 

This song always reminds me of the importance of catering to your man! Even though they often promoted the message of female empowerment and independence it was also refreshing to see them show their more vulnerable and softer side when it came to the fellas! 

Classic Alert............The Al Green!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite Al Green song! So much so that it used to be my ringback tone lol!!! This song makes me want to have a BBQ with family, friends, and great cocktails!! I am still in a "feel good musical mood"......can't you tell lol!!!!!!

What is your favorite Al Green song?

Classic Alert...........Teddy P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another classic!!! I play this at BBQs and overall in general lol! I love Teddy P. His music had so much soul! He is just BOMB!! Sometimes you just gotta let it go!!

Classic Alert.........Lenny Williams!!!!!!!!!!

My husband requested that I posted this song and blogged about it! This song is truly a classic! A lot of artists sampled this song......the rapper Twista is one of many! My hubby loves to sing this song at the top of his lungs when it comes on lol! Gotta love this era of music! Ain't nothing like a man begging now!!!!!!!!

Classic Alert........Roy Ayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS MY JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! It warmed my heart when this song came on during the opening scene in the N.W.A. movie! My parents always tell me that I have an old musical soul and that I was born in the wrong era lol! This song just feels right! And...... I cannot forget that my girl Mary J. Blige sampled this song on one of her biggest hits "My Life"! 

Flash Back Friday.............Zhane!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!! I remember rocking to this song in elementary and junior high school! It's one of those classic songs that takes me back to the 90's! How could you not love Zhane! They were wearing those low hair cuts! They better get it lol!!! Man, during the 90's clothing and hair styles were a bit simpler! 

Flash Back Friday.......Les Nubians!!!!!!!!!! Do You Know About Them?

So growing up, I used to always sneak into my brother's room while he was out at work or with friends and listen to his extensive musical collection. My brother is a major music head like me! I have a very well rounded and high musical IQ because of my brother! He had every Hip Hop and R&B album you could think of! BUT he would also have a lot of "out the box" music too like this very song by Les Nubians. When I first heard this song Makeda, I FELL IN LOVE! I may not have understood what they were talking about but it sounded good to my ears lol! This song is CLASSIC! 

New Music Alert............Ameriie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am UBER excited that Ameriie just put out a new EP entitled Drive! I have been a fan of Ameriie since her first single "Why Don't We Fall In Love". Her sound is so distinct and fresh. She is a talented songwriter, always arranges crazy melodies, and has unexpected harmonies! Even the likes of Beyonce took a page out of her book with her song GREEN LIGHT! This song "Sing About It" captures the true essence of her style! I love it! I checked out her recent interview with the Breakfast Club where she explained that she took a break from the industry for  a few years in order to write books and feed her other interests and talents. I will definitely try to score some tickets to any upcoming shows she does! OH.....she also said that she somewhat changed the spelling of her name by adding another "I". Just in case you thought it was a typo lol!!!!!!!

My Favorite Ameriie Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my absolute favorite Ameriie song!! I will never forget when it first dropped! I was like.......this song is EVERYTHING!!! It is like she understood my ear!! I think that she is an underrated artist for sure! Ameriie writes all of her songs and has a dope edge to her! This song reminds me of being home during my first Summer college break! I used to play this song on repeat! I loved her fashion style in the video and owned a couple of those shirts with the cut outs in the sleeves that she wore! I just saw the star power in her from day one! I am stoked that she recently dropped an EP entitled Drive (discussed in my prior music post). Ameriie will always be within my top favorite R&B artists! 

Classic Song Alert............Joe (The Things Your Man Won't Do)!!!!!!!!!!

Hi.... My name is Channel and Joe is one of my favorite male R&B singers! This man has a great resume of music! His voice is so unique, sultry, and smooth! This was one of his biggest songs that debuted in the 90's (something about that era man)! I remember being in elementary/junior high school loving this song (sorry Mom and Dad lol). The musicality of the song just felt good! I have had the pleasure of seeing Joe perform live on two occasions and he killed it both times! I always look forward to hearing his classic hits and new music. He is doing his GOOD ACAPELLA singing in this clip! Side bar, Tom Joyner is a FOOL lol!!!! Enjoy!

My Favorite Living Performer............Mrs. Carter!!!!!!!!!!!

So Beyonce is my favorite living performer!! This clip gives just a glimpse of how GREAT of a performer she really is!! I have witnessed her live performances several times! I have been scheming as to how I am going to score tickets to this tour!! I did a blog post today on self esteem. Beyonce represents woman empowerment and exudes confidence! So many love to hate on Beyonce. I always suggest that the haters experience her live at least one good time......then let me know how you really feel lol!!!!!!!!!

I will have this choreography down in about a day lol! 

The Group Members From The Show Chasing Destiny Singing Hotline Bling!!!!!!!!

I decided to post this cover of Hotline Bling as tonight was an new episode of Chasing Destiny!! I love the arrangement of this cover!!!!!! Their voices blend well together!! I am enjoying watching the behind the scenes process of this group's development! Kelly and Frank are doing a PHENOMENAL job working with these UBER talented ladies!! 

Do you like their cover to Hotline Bling?

One Of My Favorite R. Kelly Songs!!!!!!!!!!!

Many people do not like R. Kelly or like to support his music due to the obvious reasons!! I get it! My philosophy and perspective is that the music industry as a whole is wicked (and yes this includes some of your favorite Gospel artists too)! One day I will blog about this very subject matter. However, I study R. Kelly's musical resume as he in my eyes is a musical genius! This song brings me back to being in junior high school when I used to listen to Hot 97, WBLS, and 98.7 religiously! I would have my cassette tape ready to hit the record button when this song (among some of my other faves) came on the radio! I was bumping to this very song in my car earlier this afternoon! A fun fact is that Kelly Price was singing the background vocals!! We can't forget to mention that THE Notorious BIG was featured a well! 

One Of My Favorite DC Songs.......It's A Hidden Gem!!!!!!!!!!

This song right here.........is a hidden gem in my eyes!!!!!!! I love the swag and feel of it! I used to have this tune on repeat HEAVY in 2005!!!!!! It was a bonus track on the Destiny Fulfilled album! I love the girls' tones on this song and their vocal styling! They better GET IT!!! I decided to share it with you all! Enjoy!!!!!!!!! 

I Am A Huge Musiq Soulchild Fan!!!!!!!!!!! 

So my name is Channel and I fell in love with Musiq Soulchild's music from his very first single "Love"!!!!!! I have been following and supporting his career ever since! This song entitled Heart Away is from his new album, Life on Earth! It is a really good album as it has that classic Musiq Soulchild feel! This song stood out to me and has become one of my faves!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing like Neo Soul  music in my book!!!!!!!!!!! I have also had the pleasure of seeing him perform live and he does not disappoint!!!!!!!!! He is scheduled to do a show at NJ Pack with Lalah Hathaway and Raheem DeVaughn on June 10th at 8 PM!! I may try to score some tickets as this lineup is BANANAS!!!!!!! Who wants to role with me?

Beyonce's Background Singers..........The Mamas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mamas are BAAAD!!!!!!!!!! These ladies can SANG!!!!!!!!! I remember witnessing their VOCALS when I went to one of Beyonce's concerts back in 2007/2008 (the I Am tour I believe). Enjoy their rendition of Diana Ross' song SWEETEST HANGOVER! 

Those Girls From Chasing Destiny Sure Can Sang!!!!!!!!!

Because tonight was the season finale of Chasing Destiny I decided to post clips of the girls individually singing. They all have such beautiful and different voices!! The amazing part is that they blend well together! 

Enjoy!

My Girls From Chasing Destiny!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOOOOOVE this song!! SQUAD GOALS!! That's right.....if he is acting up we will come through on your behalf lol!!! These girls are so very talented!! I have said this time and time again! I am excited for their project and hope that it comes out soon!! This is their new single "All Of Us" that they performed on the season finale the other night! I cosign it!!!

​Enjoy!

Classic Alert..............Keni Burke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You gotta love this song!! With summer being days away, I thought that this was a good song to blog about! It is just one of those songs that is EASY BREEZY!! It is also often played on one of my playlists!! They truly do not make music like this anymore!!

What You Know About Camp Lo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is such a CLASSIC in my book! So much so, that we had our bridal party introduced at the reception to this song!!! I play this song HEAVY all of the time!! My brother put me on to Camp Lo.....I used to always go into his bedroom when he was not home and listen to his VAST musical collection. I truly have a high IQ in hip hop because of my brother!!! Thanks bro!!!!!!!! I love this song and always will!!!!

Classic Alert............A Tribe Called Quest!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Tribe Called Quest is one of my favorite groups of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!! They also helped contribute to my love of Jazz music! They were so genius with how they fused Jazz with Hip Hop to create their sound!! Bonita Applebum is a CLASSIC song!!! It brings me back to my childhood! RIP Phife Dawg!!! I still play their hits today!!!

My Jam..........Justin Bieber-Trust!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell in love with this song months ago!! It has a real R&B Tank like vibe!! Justin Beiber actually puts out good bodies of work!! This single is from his last album entitled Purpose! 

Classic Alert............Deniece Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sing this song at the top of my lungs when I am driving!! This song is such a CLASSIC! As you may have figured out, I love FEEL GOOD music! This song is definitely a BBQ kind of song!! Watching this footage makes me miss the television show Soul Train! If I was old enough during that era I would have been UP IN THERE!!! 

My Girls From Chasing Destiny Declared Their Group Name And Dropped New Singles!!!!!!!! Introducing The Group...... June's Diary!!!!!!!!!!

I would have never guessed that the group name would be...... June's Diary!!! However, it is different and it makes for an interesting conversation piece! I am curious to learn how they arrived at this name! I love this single entitled "Alright"! They performed it on the show Chasing Destiny a few times! Their official new single is called "L.A.N.C.E." which is an interesting acronym! I am not crazy about this single but will continue to ride out with them and follow their projects! 

One Of My Favorite Brandy Performances!!!!!!!!

So Brandy for sure is one of my favorite artists EVER!!! This is one of my favorite performances of hers.....and here is why. I love how she lets her tone take the lead and is not doing a lot of vocal acrobatics!! Now don't get me wrong, I too enjoy the many vocal abilities of THE BRANDY NORWOOD!! However, most of the time I do feel like less is more! In this clip she showcases her ability to let the beauty of her voice RIDE!! I must also mention that the band was ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT!!!!!!!!!

My Girl Tweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like tweet is another underrated artist who brought something authentic to the game! Her voice is truly like that of a songbird! This is one of my favorite songs of hers! She released an album a few months ago entitled Charlene. The album  is pretty good!! It reminded  me of why I fell in love with her art from the very beginning. 

Classic Song Alert................Sisqo- Incomplete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is such a classic!!! I remember watching this video HARD when I was a teenager! He even had my girl Lisa Raye as the love interest! This song just feels like quality R&B. That Sisqo sure could sang!!!!!!!!! Remember those COOGI sweat suits!!! WOW they took it back lol!!!!!!!!

I Miss The Group Next!!!!!!!!!!

I was watching the show Unsung about this group the other day! I miss this group for sure!! They had some great R&B songs! It was interesting to see that they all went through some difficult childhoods which is what fueled them to be successful. You never truly know what people go through.......especially those in the limelight! It is unfortunate that they could not survive as a group! They had some internal issues going on between the three of them. This was a good flashback!

I love These Two Artists Who Happen To Be Sisters!!!!!!!!!!

I love these two sisters!! They both have interesting sounds and tones to their voices. I also lOVE the fact that they have totally different styles and stage performances! I have been following both of their careers for a few years now. Jhene Aiko is very laid back and Mila J is more high energy with the dancing! 

I Love Me Some Tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this man needs is a piano and a mic!!! I have been a fan of Tank's for at least 11 years now!! I HAVE to see him perform live!! He is an amazing songwriter, singer, and producer. As he always says, He is your singer's favorite singer lol!! These songs are some of his classics!!! He is truly TALENTED!! He wrote a lot of some of my favorite artists singles!! Can we say Letoya Luckett's song "Regret", Omarion's song "O", Kelly Rowland's song "The Show", a majority of TGT's songs, and the list keeps going!!!

I Have Always Respected Ashanti As An Artist!!!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of nay sayers when it comes to Ashanti's ability to sing. I always felt that she could sing and this footage showcases the range and height in her voice. Ashanti also has some power to her vocal chords!! I think that she did a phenomenal job singing Chaka Kahn's song "Sweet Thing" and Whitney Houston's song "I Have Nothing". I was not too crazy about her rendition of "I Will Always Love You". However, I give her credit for having the chops to take a crack at it! A lot of people have never heard her sing these kind of power house songs which really showcases her vocal abilities. Ashanti is also a great songwriter and continues to put out albums. I think that she has managed to continue to create a lane for herself and has had a pretty solid career for the past eleven years!! I mean not everyone gets to perform with THE DAVID FOSTER!! 

My Girl Marsha Ambrosius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to this song a few days ago and fell in love with it RIGHT AWAY! Dennis Brown is the originator of this jam but I love Marsha's version!! I will be playing this song HEAVY this Summer!! It just feels so GOOD!! You should check it out!! 

My Girl Solange!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have been following Solange's career from the very beginning!! I love that she is unapologetically herself as an artist and is not afraid to take MAJOR MUSICAL RISKS!!! We all know that she is Beyonce's sister which could be a difficult legacy to live up to. However, Solange is BOUT IT and has carved her own lane in the music industry!! This song caught my attention a few years ago and I wanted to share it with you!! Sidebar, I love her look for this performance!!

I love Me Some Tyrese!!!!!

I have always appreciated and loved Tyrese's perspective on R&B music! I fell in love with him from the Coca Cola commercial back in the day! I LOVE this song from his album entitled "Invitation"! I appreciate the message! Ladies there are some men out there who feel that other women do not have anything on you and that YOU are who they WANT! 

Let that simmer!! 

I Love Me Some Mary Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Mary Mary!! I was introduced to them while at college around the years of 2001-2002. I will be completely honest.....I am a CHRISTIAN but do not find myself lOVING a lot of gospel artists' music. HOWEVER, Mary Mary are one of my favorite gospel artists PERIOD. I love how they have touching songs that are also musically and sonically creative! This is one of my favorite performances of theirs. That Tina sure can SANG!!! The band was also KILLING IT too!! 

Teedra Moses!!!!!!!!!!! 

Teedra Moses is another UBER talented singer and songwriter who I feel is also underrated. One of my good girlfriends put me on to her during our college days, and I have remained a fan of her work! I love this song because she uses one of my favorite samples for the beat. I have not yet experienced her live...but it is definitely on my list of shows to see! I love how her voice is crystal clear and sharp! I also enjoy her take on R&B music! 

Classic Alert................Marvin Gaye-Distant Lover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So as we all know Marvin Gaye is an ICON!!!!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs of his!! It just feels so RIGHT!! I wish that I grew up in the era when he was still alive!! It must have been CRAZY seeing him perform live!! Talk about the many pairs of panties that must have been thrown on the stage lol!!! Many artists sample his music today!! He was a HUGE musical influence on many of the greats in the game!!!

Classic Group Alert With A New Song............Johnny Gill Featuring New Edition-This One's For Me And You!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS GROUP and LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!! They have done a GREAT job proving that singing groups can STICK together and GO THE DISTANCE in the CRAZY music industry!!! This song is one of my Summertime favs!!!!

I LOVE KEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Kem!!! I have been a fan of his music since 2005!! He has a sophisticated approach to R&B/Jazz music!! He is yet another artist that I would like to experience LIVE!! This is GROWN FOLK MUSIC!!!! I also love his story as he overcame substance abuse issues and rehabilitated himself!! 

​That band was SMASHING it down!!

Classic Artist Alert..............D'Angelo!!!!!!!!!!!

D'Angelo forever changed the game back in the 90's!!! This performance song is from his last Album entitled D'Angelo And The Vanguard Black Messiah. Its so great to see that AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS, this man still is a BOMB artist! He carved his own lane in the game and continues to be a force of nature!! 

One Of My All Time Favorites...........The Jill Scott!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE ME SOME JILL SCOTT!!!!!!! I had the pleasure of experiencing her art LIVE....and she does not DISAPPOINT! Jill is so true to her musical aesthetic and is just so BOMB!! She is an incredible SONGWRITER and SONGSTRESS! She also looks AMAZING!! You know that you are DOPE when the PRESIDENT and FIRST LADY invite you to perform at the WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

One Of My Favorite Beyonce Moments!!!!!!!!

So I am sure that you know that I LOVE ME SOME BEYONCE' by now lol!! This is one of my favorite raw performances from her! This is also my JAM!! Say what you want, but this woman can not only PERFORM but she can SANG!!!!!!!!! The ending of this performance is EVERYTHING! I love when she gets on her JAZZ kick! 

Avant And Keke Wyatt!!!!!!!!!!

I love the MUSICAL CHEMISTRY that these two have!! Can we say "My First Love" and "You and I"!!!!!! Both of these songs are classics in my book!!!!!!!!!!! I have always been a fan of Avant and through him I became a fan of Keke Wyatt!! She sure can SANG YALL!! The crazy thing was that in this clip her voice was not at a hundred percent...........BUT SHE STILL KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!! I can't forget that Avant's song "Separated" is also an oldie but goodie!

I hope that they collaborate on another song together!! 

Classic Song Alert.............Frederick And Janice Dowlen (Calling Your Name)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lOVE THIS SONG!! It is such a CLASSIC! You know me......I was born in the wrong era lol!!! This song just puts me in a GREAT mood when I hear it!! You gotta love it when they BEG ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bobby V!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bobby V is another underrated artist in my eyes. He is very talented and has a pure take on R&B. I am sure you remember him from the 90's group called Mista!! Their biggest song was called "Blackberry Molasses". I love this song that he is singing in this clip entitled "Words"!! It is just so pretty!!!!!!! This song is one of the hubby and my favorites!!

Cheri Dennis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my JAM back in 2005/2006!! Cheri Dennis was a Bad Boy artist and had a few singles that I liked. This song "I Love You" was my favorite!! When I play it or hear it I immediately start dancing and smiling lol!! I wonder if she will ever come out with another single, EP, or album. R&B just is not the same these days!! Sometimes a girl just needs a feel good no frill song to bump to!! 

Classic Artist And Song Alert........Luther Vandross & Cheryl Lynn: If This World Were Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have LOVED this song since I heard it while watching one of my favorite movies called "The Wood"!! Our bridal party walked down to this very song for our wedding!!! This song is just so PRETTY with such a MEANINGFUL message!!! This must have been the era when wearing sequins was WHAT IT WAS LOL!!! 

Classic Group And Song Alert.........H-Town-A Thin Line Between Love And Hate!!!!!

In keeping with my favorite movie alert that I blogged about today (in the blog section of the website) I decided to post this CLASSIC song that H-Town remade!! I love this song!! It has me automatically flashing back to scenes from the movie "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate"!! I also used to like the group H-Town!! Do you remember their hit song "Knockin' Da Boots"!!! One of the group members passed away several years ago which was sad! At least their music still lives on!!

FYI, the group that originally sung this song were named the Persuaders.....just a little fun fact!!

Dwele!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my FAVORITE songs from Dwele!! It was also my ringback tone a few years ago (yeah I was that girl) lol! He is the epitome of NEO SOUL music! One of my college comrades introduced me to this great artist and I have been rocking with Dwele for the last 10 years! This song is just so CHILL and the trumpets are EVERYTHING!! 

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!!!!!

I play this song every year for my birthday!! What I love the most about this song is the fact that he mentions my NAME!!! Go Channel It's Your Birthday!!! I dance my heart away and smile from ear to ear!! And you know I will CUT A GOOD RUG to this jam today!!!! I do not take life for granted and CELEBRATE every year of it!!

Thank you for all of the LOVE and SUPPORT!!

Gotta love some R. Kelly!! 

The Late Great Amy Winehouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP to Amy Winehouse! I fell in love with her music when she first stepped on the American scene. I thought that she had an original, classic, soulful, yet vintage style that she brought to the game! It is unfortunate that she did not live a long life. She definitely was SUPER TALENTED and I still LOVE her music. This song (Me and Mr. Jones) is one of my favorites of hers! 

My Girl LeToya Luckett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this LeToya Luckett performance that took place at one of Tank's shows a few years ago! I LOVE this song that Tank wrote and produced for Ms. Luckett!! I stand by the message of this song! Sometimes these fellas do not realize that they missed a GREAT thing until it is TOO LATE!!! 

Sidebar, you gotta love the way that Tank is watching this performance LOL!!!

​LeToya is a talented artist and I am glad to see her step out of the Destiny's Child shadow and do her OWN musical and acting thing!! 

My Favorite Male Group Ever.........Jagged Edge!!!!!!!!!!!

Jagged Edge is my FAVORITE MALE GROUP EVER and this song "He Can't Love You" is my FAVORITE SONG from them!!!!!!!! This song used to give me hope about LOVE!

Classic Artist And Song Alert...........Bob Marley-Is This Love!!!!!!!!!!

So I am gearing up to vacation in Jamaica within the next 24 hours. When I think of Jamaica I instantly think of THE LEGENDARY BOB MARLEY!!! This is one of my favorite songs of his!! Bob Marley put Jamaica on the map and was also looked at as a political figure in some ways! My husband and I took the Bob Marley tour when we last visited Jamaica and it was AWESOME!! I learned a lot more about him and his MOVEMENT! I also love how Bob Marley's spirit is KEPT ALIVE especially in his home which is Jamaica! 

​There is nothing like a man EMBRACING and ACKNOWLEDGING that he is in LOVE!! Shout out to the men out there who are willing to declare their love to their significant others!!!

​I just thought that I would share this with you!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!!!!!!

My Favorite Alicia Keys Song............You Don't Know My Name!!!!!!!!!

I am still mentally in Jamaica lol!! I love the caribbean twist to my FAVORITE Alicia Keys song "You Don't Know My Name"!!!!!!!! I fell in love with this song when I first heard it while in college. I was able to connect with this tune because in my life there has been a guy or two who I felt did not understand what they were missing out on in NOT dating ME lol!!!!!!!!! It's all good though, cause THE RIGHT MAN PURSUED ME...............and WIFED this girl up LEGIT STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gents there is HOPE FOR LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

His music will forever be MISSED and REMEMBERED!!!!!!!!

Josh X Featuring Cardi B-Heaven On My Mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am DIGGING this song by Josh X featuring my GIRL Cardi B!!! This song is absolutely perfect DRIVING MUSIC!! It also contains one of my favorite samples (Alicia Myers' song entitled "I Want To Thank You") which is a DOPE nod to classic music! I will continue to look out for Josh X's music to see what his contribution will be to the music game. Cardi B also sounded pretty TIGHT on that verse!! 

Enjoy!

RIP To The Late And Great Aaliyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fifteen years ago today, Aaliyah passed away. I can't believe that it has been that many years!! I will never forget when I got the news that she had died. I had just started college and was in my dorm room listening to the radio wondering why they were playing so many Aaliyah songs. When I realized that she had died, I was in UTTER SHOCK!! She definitely left her mark on the game and will always be REMEMBERED!! This was one of my favorite songs/music videos of hers! I LOVED the way the she DANCED!! She would move with such ease and poise....without even trying!! In high school, my friends and I would try to learn all of the dance moves to a majority of her songs!!

RIP Aaliyah! 

Classic Artist And Song Alert............Shalamar-This Is For The Lover In You!!!!!!!!!

This evening I was catching up on some episodes of the show "Unsung" and quickly was inspired by this song!! Baby Face and LL Cool J remade this song years ago and I fell in love with this song from their version. However, many moons ago when I did further research and discovered that the group Shalamar were the originators of this song..... I FELL EVEN MORE IN LOVE with this song!!!

You better GET IT Kelly!!!

Classic Artist And Song Alert..............Xscape-Understanding!!!!!!!!!!!

Xscape is such a classic R&B girl group from the 90's!!!!!!!! Everyone LOVED this song "Understanding" as it was an ANTHEM in 1994!!! It was refreshing to see Tiny having her solo part as in my opinion she did not get a lot of VOCAL SHINE like her other group mates!! It is so unfortunate that due to the conflicts that they had with one another, this group could not stay together and continue to make great music!!

​Tiny and Kandi definitely made SERIOUS career moves which resulted in a lot of SUCCESS for them! 

​Enjoy this walk down memory lane!!!

Classic Artist And Song Alert..........Heatwave-Always And Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song has always been MY FAVORITE oldie but goodie for more reasons than one!! I remember growing up listening to this song and feeling SO GOOD!!! This song means a lot to me because I always think of my DAD when I hear it. This was actually our father and daughter dance at my WEDDING!! This is "our song"!! Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE MY DAD like no other!! It is just a special bond that fathers and daughters have that is UNEXPLAINABLE!! 

I was watching the Unsung for the group Heatwave and learned a lot about their start in the music industry and their work ethic!! They were OH SO talented and PASSIONATE about their music!! Especially the lead singer, Johnnie Wilder!! He ended up becoming paralyzed from the neck down due to getting in a car accident! That still did not stop him from leading the group behind the scenes!! Watching their story INSPIRED me to keep on going with my plans for this website and my overall MOVEMENT behind it!!

Enjoy this walk down memory lane!! 

Happy Birthday To The Iconic Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I MOST DEFINITELY had to show some birthday love to THE BEYONCE!!! I love to experience her music LIVE and am looking forward to hopefully going to her concert in a few days!!! I have always loved the song "Me, Myself, and I" because it stood for EMPOWERING WOMEN!! As I always say at the end of the day, we always have OURSELVES which is why it is important to LOVE YOURSELF!! This show is from the Formation Tour in Manchester!! I love the RAW FOOTAGE that the person who filmed this was able to capture!! I too will be recording throughout the concert if I am successful with attending!!

I RESPECT Dorinda Clark Cole's ministry of song!!! This song makes me break down and cry EVERY TIME that I hear it!!! A lot of people that I know are GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW!!! This song always ENCOURAGES ME and UPLIFTS MY SPIRIT!! God allows us to go through TRIALS  and TRIBULATIONS to STRENGTHEN us and OUR WALK WITH HIM!! Sometimes he has to remind us that HE IS GOD!!! 

Be encouraged!

Classic Artist And Song Alert.........David Hollister~One Woman Man!!!!!!!!!!

Today I am in the mood to promote MONOGAMY!!! This song is such a CLASSIC that Dave Hollister did several years ago!!

My husband wants to get us tickets for the BAD BOY TOUR!! That would be DOPE if we are able to go!!!!!!

John Legend Peforming Ordinary People!!!!!!!!!!

This song has ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE John Legend songs of ALL TIME!!!!! It has a meaningful message that is RELEVANT even today!!!! You gotta love John Legend's RICH and SOULFUL voice and how he approached the vocal arrangement!! I remember having this song on REPEAT while chilling in my bedroom during one of my college breaks!!!! I probably was romanticizing about a young man of my liking at the time LOL! 

My Girl Sevyn Streeter's New Song~My Love For You!!!!!!!!!

I Love This Erykah Badu Medley!!!!!!

So I have stated before that I LOVE ERYKAH BADU and MUST SEE her perform LIVE!!! I actually sang the "Love Of My Life" portion of the medley with my girls at my WEDDING two years ago!! I think that she is musically GENIUS in her own right!! 

Enjoy this throwback!!

My Beyonce` Formation Tour Experience (10/7/16)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OK LADIES NOW LETS GET IN FORMATION"!!!!! I had an AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC and DOPE time at the Formation tour (last show) last night!!! Beyonce did her THING and MORE!! There were so many STARS in the building and who HIT THE STAGE!! First things first, DJ Kahlid opened up the show and brought DMX, The Lox, Mase, Fetty Wap, August Alsina, Remy Ma, and more on the stage with him! Beyonce brought Kendrick Lamar, Serena Williams, and her hubby Hov on the stage which made it an EPIC NIGHT!! The production of the show was EVERYTHING, the band, background singers, dancers, choreography were BOMB! Beyonce SANG her face off and DANCED her butt off last night! I alway say, if you have not experienced this woman LIVE you are MISSING OUT!! I love how her show embodied WOMEN EMPOWERMENT, SELF WORTH, KNOWING YOURSELF, and LOVING YOURSELF! Her movement is similar to what this website is about!! It was ONLY RIGHT that I shared some of my experience with you!! 

​Sidebar, sorry for the loud screams around me and the static noise that you hear at times lol! If the footage was shaky my apologies....sometimes I forgot that I was filming and was busy DANCING and SINGING my heart out with Bey lol!!!!

I Love Me Some Tank Music!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have FALLEN IN LOVE with this song entitled "You Don't Know" by Tank!! He just knows how to make R&B music that is so SEXY and AESTHETICALLY BOMB!!! Tank in my eyes is still an UNDERRATED ARTIST! I truly agree with him when he says that he is your favorite singer's FAVORITE SINGER lol!!!!!!!!
