Can't seem to find the right words to say about this...So for now I will just say R.I.P to Michael Jackson, The Innovator, The Icon, The Legend...

Maxwell- BLACKsummers'night...
I got to hear Maxwell's new album "BLACKsummers'night" today! I'm hearing that it leaked on the Internet but I don't want any part of that! When the album comes out I'm going to buy my copy! We need to support this album! I'm down with the cause so I want to make sure talented artist rise to the top and get the credit they deserve. I actually listened to the new album on AOL's TheBoombox.com. They are posting a new song from the album everyday in effort to do a countdown until it drops. Let me just say that I am quite impressed with the material. OK I Love it!!! I can't wait until "Black" comes out on July 7Th! While WE wait I thought you might want to hear two of my favorite songs by Maxwell...Peep the videos below!
Maxwell - ...Til The Cops Come Knockin' (Official Music Video) - The best bloopers are here
Maxwell - Lifetime (Official Music Video) - These bloopers are hilarious

But I just can't choose! So I posted a few that I love. Countdown to September 1, 2009!!!!!

Mos Def - Pistola
I hope everyone has picked up their copy of Mos Def's new album "The Ecstatic." I happen to really like the album. Check out one of my favorite songs on the album "Pistola." Wait! Scratch that, it's my favorite song right now period...
Check it:
"If you were to fall in love
Where should you stand to begin with?
And when the fall is done
How bad should you plan to get injured?
And if you land on ur feet
Do it count as a fall or jump?
And do it feel like a fall when the hands that pushed you are holding you up?
Close encounters got ya wide open
Heart ace got your boom box going
Music and vocals lonely and soulful
Your back at the scene where your sweet dreams sold you…"
-Mos Def
Clipse ft. Kanye West-Kinda Like A Big Deal
Here is the new video from Clipse ft Kanye West "Kinda Like A Big Deal." I have to be honest I wasn't really into this song until I saw the video. I'm lovin Kanye's delivery on this one. I can't wait to hear the new Clipse album, "Till the Casket Drops" when it (hopefully) comes out later this year...
Check out the video:
Clipse-I'm Good

Alicia Keys and John Mayer
John Mayer and Alicia Keys got together on their last two albums to collaborate on two amazing songs...Alicia's"Lesson Learned" where John Mayer lends his vocals and guitar. While in John Mayer's "Gravity" Alicia lends her vocals to the outro of the song. His guitar, her piano and both of their voices make beautiful music.
Check out two of my favorites by the duo:
Miguel is the Effin Best!
I guess it's safe to say Drake's break out hit is "Best I Ever Had" being that it's been covered by about a million other artist. To be honest with you I was getting kind of tired of it until now. My favorite underrated artist Miguel recently covered the song but put an acoustic spin on it...His voice is crazy! (in a good way)...Can I just say that I can't believe that real artist like Miguel with amazing talent such as his don't get the respect in the music industry that they deserve! Radio stations would rather play the same 4 or 5 artist who don't stand out from one another. Is it just me or does the music on the radio all sound the same to you now days?! It's so wrong on so many levels...
Listen to Miguel's cover of Best I Ever Had:

Kelis...
I've always really appreciated Kelis's eclectic music style and fashion sense. With recent talk about her it had me thinking about some of her old female anthem songs... Take a look at some older pictures of Kelis along with my two favorite videos by her...

Slum Village-Tainted
Here comes a "not so random" post... I was checking out Soulbounce.com and came across Tainted, By Slum Village. Tainted was actually the first song that I heard by Slum Village back in the day. I think it might have also been the first time I heard Dwele... Well all the same it had me over here reminiscing...
"You say you love me but is really real??"
"Real love, real, real, everybody knows that love's real love
Someone to trust in you for real
Everybody need love that's real
I would never want nothin tainted
Wait a minute what you feel
Faded if your lovin was tainted
True, oh, I know true love is hard to find
Just let it find you for real
If you found love to keep it real
Keep love from being tainted, being tainted"
-Slum Village
I definitely don’t want to be one of these...
Here's Beyonce's new video for "Broken-hearted Girl". I really like the whole black and white theme Beyonce's going with this time around and If I haven't said this before every day that passes I'm lovin' Beyonce's "I am..." album more and more.
Check out the new video:
Mariah Carey-Obsessed!!!
Mariah Carey just released her new song Obsessed off her new album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" (I really like the title by the way). I think the song will grow on me, I love Mariah I'm just over this whole auto tune phase. I definitely don't think that someone who has pipes like Mariah needs to go down this road but nonetheless I'm excited to hear the rest of the album! I'm practically at the edge of my seat! I mean people have been mentioning that "Memoirs" is reminiscent of Mariah's "Butterfly" album which in my opinion was her best by far. The album is set to come out August 25Th...

Beyonce ft. Kanye West-Ego Remix
Here's the new video for Beyonce's Ego remix featuring Kanye West. I didn't know that they were going to do a video for the remix, but I like what they did with it plus I love Kanye's Verse...

Adele Covering Etta James- "Fool That I Am"
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, What is going on in the world when I have never heard this song before? I just happened to stumble across Adele's rendition of Etta James's "Fool That I Am." This song is amazing and I can't believe that Adele covered it! Why am I ready for a new Adele album? Well I guess because her last one was GREAT!
Check out both versions...
Adele-Melt My Heart to Stone
Here's another one I felt like posting...
Adele-Melt My Heart To Stone-Live, Simply Amazing.
Nieva-These Are The Signs
I found Nieva's song "These Are The Signs" on her alter ego myspace page. I really like this side of Nieva. "These Are The Signs" is a beautiful acoustic style song which is something I've never heard from her. I've always liked Nieva's music and her voice is amazing. But I never expected to hear something like this from her. Take a listen to this, I bet you'll be surprised...
Beyonce-Me Myself and I
Me Myself and I is one of my favorite songs by Beyonce' and I love the video...Just felt like posting it so check it out..

Emily King-Second Avenue
Here is a song I found on Emily King's Myspace called Second Avenue. Her voice is simply beautiful and I really like this song. I'm just hoping this means she's working on an album although I haven't heard much talk about it...
Check it:
Joe-Worst Case Scenario
Worst Case scenario is the latest song from Joe's upcoming album entitled "Signature." I still really love Joe's voice. Everytime I hear it, it always takes me back to Junior High School. Sheesh it doesn't seem like it's been that long since Joe came out (We wont say exactly how long). Well I really like this song and it's already in heavy rotation on the ol Ipod...Joe's new album "Signature" is set to be released on July 14th.
Check it:
Drake ft. JoJo- Houstatlantavegas (remix)
JoJo is back with a remix of Drake's Houstatlantavegas. This is one of my favorite songs on the So Far Gone mixtape so it was interesting to hear JoJo's spin on it. I actually like it. Her voice is flawless. It would've been cool if they added Drake's original rap to the end of the song and make it a bit longer but hey she still sounds great. I'm hearing that her next album is complete and there's been a little static between her and her label, Blackground which is why the hold up. I've been listening to her last two albums lately and I am super excited to here more new material. Hopefully she can work things out with her label.
Here's the original version by Drake just for fun...

Amel Larrieux-Dont Let Me Down
"Your past may be rocky but your present is clear, my present situation is the sum of all my fears..."
"I've got so much on my plate I'm scared to take another bite..."
"With my hands held real tight always ready to fight for the few pieces of joy I have now..."
"Heartbreak and bullets can try to steal any good from my life, fathers and lovers have vied rivers have flowed from my eyes."
"I've never seen love face to face. I've just seen it walking away...Why do you think I'd ever recognize something that's never been mine?"
"I can't afford to be careless and let you in... I turn my head for one minute and loose everything."
You have turned on my light and I've lost my sight, but my heart still remembers the sound of the dream of a love one day found, so DON'T LET ME DOWN...
Here is Nike's new commercial for Kanye's Air Yeezy's. I know this really has nothing to do with music but I LOVE this commercial simply because they chose to use my favorite Kanye West song, Flashing Lights...
