Really though? I am semi-shocked that Ms. Melody Thorton (yes, from the Pussycat Dolls) is about to have a MIXTAPE out on March 15th. I'm furthermore enthralled that it is gearing to be one hot mixtape release - perhaps one of the hottest of the year. If you've listened to Pussycat Doll music, their music tends to quite bright and harmonic -- both from an instrumental and vocal point of view. So when I heard about this song, I expected that same type of music of Melody. However, when she does 2 different things that I didn't expect of her: 1) she went edgy and raw tone! AND 2) she sampled the Kanye and Jay-Z "No Church in the Wild" ... This is a pleasant surprise! I mean... it's different musically -- but I like when artists challenge themselves, go for something different and relay a feeling of authenticity. I know this was a change - but I urge all of you to download the mixtape when it drops next week. MIC'D UP will try to have a place to share it here on this blog. I promise this is something you will want to throw on the iPod. She titles this one "Lipstick + Guilt" ... And this sounds nothing like she's done with the Pussycat Dolls. I'm glad she stepped out the shadow and went for this one!
A few years ago I told a friend of mine that REAL singing will be coming back soon because people would get tired of autotune and studio voices that have less-than-fulfilling live performances. Well we have a new kid on the scene and he is doing good music. I like the crooning vibe that he gives! His name: Kameron Corvet. This Louisiana/Ohio native (and if you know me ... that's kinda funny right now to me) is creating quite an industry buzz. He has quietly managed to attain a modest level of success especially considering the feature in BET's independent film Blackout's 2008 soundtrack. In addition to that, he has WOWED audiences in the south. He is a great artist with a lot of talent to offer - being that he is a guitarist and singer. His recent offering, F_ck Love is a NICE mixtape. And you know we have it for you to download. Let me know what you think!
