New in R&B Music 2/28/2012

When it comes to Rico Love, I have mixed opinions.  I remember his early work, and I was unimpressed.  However, I do respect his major accomplishments with Usher, Beyonce, Dirty Money, and Kelly Rowland – he has become one of the most sought at producers.  Although you may know him as the man behind Monica and Brandy’s “It All Belongs to Me” – he has been in front of the microphone as well, and making a name for himself in popular culture.  If you don’t believe it – run back and re-watch some episodes on vh1 hit show Love and Hip Hop, as he attempts to revamp the careers of Teairra Mari and Olivia.  Check out some work that he recently did, that I happen to enjoy a little bit.

Rico Love - "Lessons for the Lover"

Miguel.  There's so much I could say about this guy, but regardless what I say about him and his interesting public relation decisions... he makes music that people feel.   He also is one of the most sought out R&B crooner of 2011-2012.  Point blank -- he's gettin money!  And as the name of the game is in our contemporary music industry --  HE HAS A MIXTAPE!!  CHECK IT OUT AT THIS LINK BELOW...

P.J. Morton - "Heavy" feat. Adam Levine


P.J. has been in the studio lately.  And the stuff that he is coming up with is phenomenal.  As a musician, I respect and really admire his career.  For those GOSPEL fans, I've been seeing exchanges between he and Amber Bullock, winner of BET's 2011 "Sunday's Best" competition.  And I cannot WAIT to see what they come up with.  Her voice is like water, and his songwriting and production are timeless. This joint, "Heavy" featuring Adam Levine ROCKS... like BODY ROCKS.  You get to see the diversity of PJ as an artist.  Watch the lyric video here!









Dawn Richard - "Fly"


I know you all think that I'm probably the largest endorser of Dawn Richard, but the girl just keeps putting out music that is dope.  I cannot stress enough, she needs someone to invest in her marketing - because Diddy did her ALL wrong.  She is such a unique, refreshing and talented voice with MAD SKILL.  She keeps releasing material (or it keeps leaking out) -- and that makes me concerned about her upcoming project BUT I really need you all to keep your eye on her.  If given the right resources, Dawn will be a MAJOR force to be reckoned with.

Tamia - "Beautiful Surprise"


If you aren't excited about this, I don't know what will get you excited.  Tamia , confirmed by her PR is getting ready to release her new project.  She has been tweeting, instagraming and status updating about shooting video and taking pictures for her new album "Beautiful Surprise".  Her voice is flawless - as usual... and she looks great.  I secretly want my future wife to look and sing like her.  (Thank you God in advance for supplying that need!)  Be on the watch out for her.  She's still relevant!
