Daniel Merriweather ft. Adele "Water and a Flame"

Daniel Merriweather who was featured on Mark Ronson's album "Version" is releasing a new album in the U.S. called "Love and War." If you remember, Merriweather lends vocals to Ronson's rendition of "The Smiths" Motown hit "Stop Me" and the two worked together on Merriweathers "Love and War." (The title is perfect!) Daniel Merriweathers voice is pure soul. One songs off the album features one of my favorites Adele, titled "Water and a Flame" I love this song it gives me the chills its so beautiful! (Well Bittersweet) The album also features a song with Wale titled "Change." Listen to a couple of my favorites from the album which will be released in the U.S. January 2010...




Water and a Flame lyrics:

Seven days has gone so fast,
I really thought the pain would pass.
It's been nearly an hour,
since I thought of you.

But your not answering the phone,
I'd settle for a busy tone,
At least that I'd know that you're okay.
A girl like you ain't meant to go away.
Oh...

Now you're gone,
Theres nothing else I want.
Now that it's over,
There's nothing else I want.
What have I done,
looks like I was wrong.
Is everything really meant to change,
I guess we're like water and a flame.
water and a flame..

Adele:
I'm tired of this empty house,
I need a drink to get me out.
A couple more til I forget your name.

I saw a boy that looked like you,
I didn't know quite what to do,
It took a power of will to break my stare.
I realized what I wanted wasn't there.

Now you're gone,
Theres nothing else I want.
Now that it's over,
There's nothing else I want.

Is everything really meant to change,
I guess we're like water and a flame.
Water and a flame...

Daniel:
If you see me coming...
Adele:
I look away, I look away...
Daniel:
And if your mind is made up...
Adele:
I look away, I will look away...

Daniel:
If your worry bound
Adele:
I'm okay, I'm okay, yes I am
Daniel:
All this sorrow and this pain,
is going to go away

Daniel & Adele:
Now you're gone,
There's nothing else I want.
Now that it's over,
There's nothing else I want.
What have I done,
looks like I was wrong.
Is everything really meant to change,
I guess we're like water and a flame.
Water and a flame..

Daniel Merriweather "For Your Love"

Daniel Merriweather "Stop Me"

What I'm Listening To...

John Mayer "I'm Gonna Find Another You"



It's really over, you made your stand
You got me crying, as was your plan
But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you

You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you

When I was your lover
No one else would do
If I'm forced to find another, I hope she looks like you
Yeah and she's nicer too

So go on baby
Make your little get away
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me and once for someone new
I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
Oh I'm gonna find another you

Robin Thicke "Sex Therapy"

Check out this new (to me) song by Robin Thicke, "Sex Therapy". The beat and the vocals are HOT!...

John Mayer "Who Says" Video

"Who Says" is the first single from John Mayer's new album "Battle Studies." The new album is due out next month and I am more than excited to hear it...

Q-Tip ft. Norah Jones "Life Is Better"

Q-tip's album "The Renaissance" was one of my favorite albums this year. I loved the track with Norah Jones "Life is Better." I'm really glad to see he did a video for the song. I probably hear this song while I'm in stores shopping more than anything. The video is in black and white (my favorite) and is super creative. It just makes me love the song even more...





Norah Jones has a new album coming out in November entitled "The Fall" and here is the first single, "Chasing Pirates" from the album...Love her voice! Love this song! I'm especially feeling the lyrics to this song right about now...

Listen to Norah Jones- "Chasing Pirates"

Janelle Monae'-Come Alive (War of The Roses)

Janelle Monae' has a new song titled "Come Alive (War of the Roses)...There is no other artist at this point that leaves me speechless like Janelle Monae' does. I mean she is so talented it kills me! I love her voice and how innovative she is. I'm hearing this new song is from her new album coming out next year. You already know I'm at the edge of my seat!...

Peep the making of the song:




Listen to the full version here:

Come Alive (The War of the Roses) - Janelle Monae

Brandy singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE GAME PERIOD!

Leona Lewis and her new album cover...

I'm not really into Leona Lewis's music at this point but her new album cover has been floating around the Internet lately and I think she looks great! But she's very talented and beautiful, So just thought I'd post this picture because I like it! :-)

I will definately give this new album a chance...You never know so I will keep an open mind...

Whitney Performing "Million Dollar Bill" In France

Whitney looks great in this video so I had to post it! Love her new look!!!

Check it:

Mariah Carey-Ribbon

After listening to the Mariah Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel one song stuck out to me immediately as the best song on the album. The Dream produced "Ribbon" is fun and catchy. Mariah also gets the chance to show off her vocal range at it's best. I think she sounds great on this song and I've also had it on repeat since I've had the album. Check out "Ribbon" below...

Whitney Houston- I Look To You

If it hasn't been mentioned before Whitney Houston is my FAVORITE singer of all time. She is the sole reason that I love music so much. So you can only imagine how thrilled I was when I heard that she was coming out with a new album. She is such an inspiration coming from the bottom and making it all the way back to the top...I wouldn't be her number one fan if I didn't post something on her latest album " I Look To You" which includes my favorite song of 2009 "Million Dollar Bill." If nothing else I can tell that Whitney put her heart in soul into this album. I am so happy and so proud that her album came out and it did extremely well so much to the point people are calling her the "Comeback Queen!" Check out some of her new videos below...

Michael Buble'-Haven't Met You Yet (My New Favorite Song)

I absolutely love Michael Buble's style and sound. His voice is so amazing that it gives me chills! I started my music "love affair" with Michael Buble' when I heard the song "Home"..."Another summer day has gone and come away in Paris and Rome and I wanna come home, I miss you.." The lyrics to this song completely captures the pain of missing a loved one.He's been coined as a " Big Band, Modern day Standards singer" who covers songs by legendary artist such as Frank Sinatra (i.e. Come Fly With Me,The Way You Look Tonight,That's All) and Ella Fitzgerald...SOLD!! Buble' has a new album coming out which is titled "Crazy Love" and I am "Crazy in Love"
(lol) with the first single, "Haven't Met You Yet." I like the idea of someone singing about a future love...Check out some of my favorite songs by Buble' and let me know what you think...I'm sure you will love him as much as I do!

Check it....

Corinne Bailey Rae is Back...and so am I!

After a long random hiatus I'm back! And who better to bring me out of my writing slump than Corinne Bailey Rae? I checked out her website and found that she's working on some new material. She's got a slightly different look and sound. Her first album "Put Your Records On" was amazing and had a great response. It's being said that her latest effort consists of darker material. Check out the link to her video which drops hints of what we have to look forward to...I'm hearing her new album will be out early next year...
