CD Pick of The Week


Don't sleep on Uncle Charlie! The man still got it. His voice is timeless and he is putting some of these young so-called R&B cats to bed (we won't mention any names…lol).With Valentine's Day right around the corner, guys this will definitely get your ladies in the mood. On the new CD "Just Charlie" I couldn't help but to enjoy the sweet lyrics Charlie Wilson belts out throughout the entire album. The first single “You Are” I predict will be one of the top wedding songs played this summer. The classic remake of “I Want to Be Your Man” with Fantasia holds its own but the original is better and the up-tempo track “Life of The Party” is one my favorites. Overall, the album is a charmer. One could only imagine he dedicated this album to his wife (after his recovery from prostate cancer) because the underlying testimony of love I believe surely influenced his creative process. This is definitely for the Grown & Sexy. You won't be disappointed!

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,
