Jarell Perry - the guy that wrote the hook for "Another Round" is working on his own material. Whereas he gave you a nice hook in the Chris Brown-sung chorus, he gives you LIFE with a whole song. I think I just may want to purchase this project when it comes out. First of all, he does a mid-tempo -- and does it well, and he draws a little irony with the tempo and subject matter. I like this guy! I think that this may be a good look for music this summer. "Here We Go Again"
Masspike Miles, signed to Maybach Music is NOT playing games with listeners. He is going to be heard. His soulful sounds resonate deep. As a Massachussetts native, he represents well! He's worked with some the industry's best talent, and still remains phenomenal in his own right. As a 25 year old, he is performing a very adult song. I mean - I can't hate. He performs with conviction and paints a picture. It's definitely a late night banger. I will be interested in hearing more from him in the future in a variety of subject matters. Check this fresh new artist and his single, "F*ckin"
YIKES... so i found a new girl I like to listen to! Her name is Nikkiya. I had to do some research on her, because she has a new project out. HOWEVER -- I didn't know she released a mixtape last year. This ATL shawty has style to her vocal prowess. She is intentionally trying to make you dance like ATL does, but she doesn't do it by being smooth, she takes a more edgy approach. She sings as if she's chanting, and the tone is rich too. She is a lil reminicent of both Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu, with an experimental approach to her craft. This project entitled "Speakher" is nice. Although it screams female slant, anyone can listen to it. She's not hating on me in her song, but she is addressing relationships from a female point of view, and I like the way it is presented. Read more about her at reverbnation.com - she's making some wonderful connections and doing some nice collaborations.
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems as though when Diddy releases people, they start making music that is just good for them and everyone else. Lately, artists that have been signed to Diddy/exclusively worked with Bad Boy and its productions have started doing major things. Although D. Woods, Dawn, and Aubrey have released music in the past 2 months, one girl that didn't make the cut in Making the Band, Mylah, is making some noise as a talented singer-songwriter. As a fellow blogger, I appreciate that she gives back to fellow songwriters by posting questions and answers in her blog on themakingsofmylah.com. As Mylah gears up for a mixtape release, she has released a song and video treatment entitled "Currency". I think you will like this laid back groove. I did!
