So much is going on in music. First off, GOOD MORNING and THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THIS BLOG!!!
In R&B/Pop/Soul News....
Austin Brown, nephew of the late Michael Jackson (son of Rebbie Jackson) has been stirring much buzz around the music he has been releasing. He really channels his uncle's 1980's music with this track that will be available for you all today. Let me know if you like him... I think that he may have a shot at stardom given his pedigree, and the way he is being marketed. He's sneaking up on the scene. Check out this joint called "City of Angels".
Esperanza Spalding has just released a brand new project Radio Music Society. If you are not hip to Esperanza, you need to be. In addition to being the first JAZZ ARTIST to win a Grammy for "Best New Artist", Spalding is a MULTI-instrumentalist (best known for her chops on that upright bass) and acclaimed songwriter. Her style is so versatile because she pulls on SO many different styles to inform her musical approach. TRUST me, this Berklee College of Music graduate will not disappoint you on this project due to release on March 20th. I hope you all support her because she is an amazing talent! Take a listen to the lead single off of the project, "Black Gold".
Be on the look out for Ryan Leslie! Ryan is one of my favorite producers of contemporary time. If you haven't read any biographical information on him, you should. He is an intellect, activist, designer and an artist - all wrapped into one. He is doing promotions for his highly anticipated project due out later this year, Les is More. This man has high ambition and such a creative way of marketing: his work is unparalleled and will be a archetype for artists that are interested in attacking multiple facets of popular culture industry. I urge you to check out his Harlem Jets speech! Take a look also at this video, the follow-up, that is a prequel for the "Swiss Francs" video that will release soon.
Okay it took me a couple of listens since I heard it 2 weeks ago, but I like this John Legend song, "Tonight" feat. Ludacris. He recently released the video for it too. Check it out!
