Music Fly- I Digg ...

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in love, with new music that is. R&B music has resurfaced and catapulted back in to the greatness that it once was and I couldn't be happier. Music lovers, have you ever anticipated an album so much and been disappointed? Sucks, right? Well, not this time! Honestly this has been one of the few times that I've purchased multiple CD's in a short period and has had a hard time deciding what to listen to because it's all so good!! This hasn't happened since the days of Carl Thomas, 112 and Donnell Jones. [Ahh…High School…sigh] Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts: Trey Songz – is ready for a Best Vocal performance Grammy, the end. Chris Brown- makes you want me want to graffiti “Back and better than ever” all over public property. Alicia Keys freely covers every element of love you can possible think of. Ryan Leslie has transitioned flawlessly from producer to singer to sometimes rapper while telling his story in song. If you haven’t already done so, go out and purchase these albums. I call it the "make it through the winter soundly” collection. If I sincerely like something I’ll always offer a positive opinion about it. These artists should cut me a check. [lol] Happy listening!

Music Fly- Anticipation Proclamation, December Edition

December is shaping up to be a good month for Hip-Hop and R&B music as I anticipate the release of these new albums! Alicia Keys. [Sigh] It's so serious that her name was the only thing I needed to say in that last sentence. Her talent is unparallel and there's no other piano playing, song writing, hip swaying, singer in her class. I'm a huge fan, and judging from the three new singles I've heard from The Element of Freedom [my favorite being "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart"] I'll continue to be. I didn't doubt it; she had me at "I keep on falling". The Neptune affiliated rap Duo Clipse is back with “Until the Casket Drops” and while I can't say I’m their biggest supporter, I will say they're better than most artists out and I do like their style a lot. Sure they make a lot of paraphernalia references, but since they do it in the form of art, it’s all good. The multi-talented Chris Brown is making headlines with his third release Graffiti. His first album was a classic, the second one was just as great. I think the "I can transform you" single [and video] is one of the hottest out now and I am overtly in love with the song "Crawl". Glad to see Breezy's back, like he never left. What can I say about Robin Thicke? He's soulful, handsome, and has a great vocal range! I loved his second album Evolution so much I went on a mad hunt for the first one, you know, when he was sporting long tresses and a messenger bike? Yep. However, as of late, all the videos I've seen him in so far have me a little weary. I don't know man..."sex sells" but you're married to Paula Patton Mr., take it easy. I do suppose it makes sense though, considering the fact that the album is called Sex Therapy, right? We’ll see where this goes. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is here, Stronger than ever, you can’t deny the power of Mary J. Blige. She’s continuously been an artist that you can blindly trust with music. I know a bunch of people who feel like the music isn’t as good since she’s been drama free, but come on guys; you know we couldn’t handle TWO “Whitney Houston- like” situations, [insert screw-face here] so stop it.
