Album Review: Quincy Jones
From John Legend to Mary J. Blige, there’s an impressive guest list on Quincy Jones‘ new album Q – Soul Bossa Nostra. The project finds the legendary musician revisiting tracks he previously produced, recorded or composed, with vocal contributions from a variety of contemporary pop […]
Album Review: Sunshine Anderson
Sunshine Anderson can best be described as a one-hit wonder, known primarily for her 2001 R&B single “Heard It All Before”. A few years after her debut, the singer signed a deal with Matthew Knowles‘ record label Music World Entertainment, releasing her criminally overlooked sophomore […]
Aural Only: Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Move over, Duffy! Your feeble attempts at channeling a retro-soul vibe are nothing next to Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. The group’s fourth album I Learned The Hard Way came out back in April, and it’s not receiving nearly enough attention. Seriously, do people even […]
Album Review: Bruno Mars
Within the past couple of months, Bruno Mars has developed quite a track record. The previously unknown songwriter stormed onto the scene this summer as a co-writer and guest vocalist on Travie McCoy‘s “Billionaire” and B.o.B.‘s number one hit “Nothin’ On You”. He then proceeded […]

Aural Only: Kelly Rowland
I know what you’re thinking–doesn’t Kelly Rowland already have three singles out? Isn’t it overkill to throw another one in the mix? Well, rumor has it that the former Destiny’s Child member will be releasing two versions of her upcoming album, and the US version […]
Album Review: Fantasia
Although most of America views Fantasia Barrino as an illiterate home-wrecker who just attempted suicide, that shouldn’t stop you from checking out her latest release Back To Me. This project marks the strongest and most cohesive performance from the former American Idol winner, and it’s been receiving […]
Weekly Top Ten: Katy Makes A Move
Well, it’s official–Lady Gaga is back on top. The “Alejandro” singer has flip-flopped with Kylie Minogue for yet another week, as they both struggle to claim the ultimate title of 2010’s Song of Summer. But neither of these ladies are safe with Katy Perry in […]
