NEW VIDEO:Big Boi ft. Janelle Monae' "Be Still"




Big Boi recently released the "Be Still" video featuring Janelle Monae'. The song is off Big Boi's album from last year "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty." These two make beautiful music together push play and you'll see that this is one you wont be able to stop playing...

This song is the exact reason why I love Janelle Monae' so much!

"Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise my dear you must, learn to just be still
Until you really really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know"

NEW MUSIC: Jill Scott ft. Anthony Hamilton "So In Love" and NEW "Shame" Video



I like Jill Scott as an artist and her body of work so much that I will probably always buy her albums even if I'm not into the singles. Although I loved the lyrics from "Shame" and I was super excited about the fact that she features Anthony Hamilton on her new song, "So in love" I still feel like both songs are going to have to grow on me. I'm still on the edge of my seat to hear the new album because one thing is for sure about Jill, her albums never disappoint. Check out the new song below:





Check out the video for "Shame"












NEW VIDEO: Jessie J. "Nobody's Perfect"



A new Alice in Wonderland inspired video for Jessie J's latest single "Nobody's Perfect" surfaced today. Out of all of the singles I've heard so far this has to be my favorite. Very clever vocal arrangements on this one...

Watch the new video below:


NEW MUSIC: Santigold ft.Karen O. "Go"





My girl Santigold is back with a new song featuring The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's Karen O. It's been some time since we've heard from Santigold but earlier this year she signed to Roc Nation management and here we are a few months later blessed with a new single. I've had her first album on repeat since it came out in 2008!lol So I'm super excited to hear the new album because I know its going to be amazing! Check out the new song, its great!!!

NEW MUSIC: Sade ft. Jay-Z "Moon and the Sky" Remix



I knew the Sade and Jay-Z colab would be amazing when I heard they would be remixing "Moon and the Sky. " With a slight change of the beat and Jay-Z's verse at the end makes this one of the rare occasions where the remix is just as good as the original. I'm so glad that they didnt change the bittersweet melody/vibe of the song. Jay-Z's lyrics are so on point its incredible...

"I know we coulda had it all, I wasnt ready to go steady no not at all. Smoke and mirrors clouded my vision... we hit a wall couldnt see the moon and sky behind the fog....

I guess it was in the stars for me to love you from afar...."

"Girl interrupted,thinking about what wasnt,what was it...?"

YESSSS!!! Check it out below:

NEW MUSIC: Mos Def "World Premiere"



Well, well, well look who's back! It's Mos Def! I was so excited to come across this video of Mos Def performing his new Madlib produced song "World Premiere" on the Daily Habit. There is no word on if this song is a first single off his upcoming album or even possibly a mixtape but its good to hear new material from him!

Check it out:

NEW MUSIC: Musiq Soulchild "Yes"




More new music off Musiq Soulchild's upcoming album, MusiqInTheMagiq was released today. The new song simply titled "Yes" is a little closer to the sound that we are all used to from Musiq. With the direction of the last two songs I'm really interested to see what Musiq new album has in store for us. The album will be in stores on May 3.

NEW VIDEOS: Mara Hruby "Lose Myself" and "Simply Beautiful"



If you haven't downloaded the Mara Hruby mixtape of covers "From Her Eyes" you are certainly missing out on some great music. But don't worry, once you do I will be there to say "I told you so." ;-) One of my favs on the tape was her rendition of the Roots song "Lose Myself" from their Dilla Tribute Album. She recently released her video for the song and I also came across a video for her rendition of the Al Green song "Simply Beautiful." Check out both videos below:

NEW MUSIC: Daniel Merriweather "A Little Bit Better"



Daniel Merriweather and producer Mark Ronson have teamed up again for a lovely song called "A Little Bit Better," off the Arthur soundtrack. This song has sparked my interest so much to the point that I might actually check out the soundtrack. Although I want nothing to do with the movie because I'm a huge fan of the original. I'm hoping no one dared to cover the original Arthur theme song by Christopher Cross "Best that you can do." I LOVE that song, it makes the original movie even better...

Check out the new song by Daniel Merriweather below:

NEW MUSIC: Jill Scott ft. Eve "Shame"



The first single off Jill Scott's upcoming album "Words and Sounds Vol.4: The Light Of The Sun" was released today. The new song titled "Shame" which features Eve should definitely please all Jill Scott fans. Somehow I knew Jill would release a more up tempo song for the first single because this is something that she has done and has certainly worked with past albums.I think I'm a little more impressed with the empowering lyrics than the actual song but overall I give it a thumbs up. I have no doubt that this next album will be a great addition to my Jill Scott collection. I'm trying not to get too excited because the album wont be out until summer but let me just say LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!! LOL

"I can stand on my own, I'm magnificent... I'm a queen on a throne, I'm magnificent."

NEW MUSIC: Sade "Still in Love With You"



While Sade fans have been patiently waiting for the release of the "Hits Collection," due out May 3rd the last thing we all expected was a new song. Sade released, "Still in Love with you" today which is a cover of Rock band Thin Lizzy's original. Although I thought she originally declined his request,I read today that she has collaborated with Jay-Z, so I'm interested and excited to hear that material. Check out the song below...
