New Music Tuesdays - Brandy, Common & Musiq Soulchild

I know it's Thursday, but I wanted a few days to hear some of the artist's work. Well, the long-awaited album from Brandy is here and so far not bad. Typical Brandy vibe with nice production from long-time producer/friend Rodney Jerkins. The album is very intimate and personal and a reflection of her recent troubles she overcame in the media after the deadly car accident she was involved in, caused and was sued for. Things were kept pretty hush, hush on that end but glad to hear she's back. Much Luv.

As for Musiq Soulchild, haven't had a chance to listen to CD yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Musiq stays true to his element and craft and never seems to let his fans down. I like the new single "ifuleave" ft. Mary J. Blige (but anything Mary I like anyway!), so pardon me if I appear to be a bit bias :)

Nevertheless, I'm a bit disappointed in myself since I'm not in touch with Common's new joint being a "fan" and all. I like his swagger and Common represents true hip hop. Keep doing your thing brother. You have my support regardless.

Stay tuned as I feature upcoming reviews for Jamie Foxx's "Intuition" and Keyshia Cole's "A Different Me".

Peace & Love,
