Miguel ft. J.Cole "All I Want Is You"

Two of of Hip Hop and R&B's best up and coming artist Miguel and J.cole recently collaborated on what is to become one of the years most note worthy singles. "All I Want Is You" is a great love song lyrically and vocally. If you know anything about Miguel you know that he is a talented vocalist while Jay-Z's protege' J.Cole is becoming one of 2010's top lyricist. When I hear this song it gives me the chills! It's going to be in heavy rotation on my iPod...

Norah Jones "Back To Manhattan"

"I know nothing about leaving but I know I should do it today..."

The song "Back to Manhattan" off the new Norah Jones album "The Fall," is so beautiful. It is actually my favorite song on the album...But I will let the song speak for itself...

Check it...



"Back To Manhattan"

I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It'll be as if this don't exist

I've a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened

We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all

But Brooklyn holds you
And holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It's just a train ride away
I know nothing 'bout leaving
But I know I should do it today

Amy Winehouse-"Tears Dry On Their Own"

Amy Winehouse is so talented it's crazy. I heard this song today and it was like hearing it for the first time. (Although I probably listen to song at least once a day). The lyrics are so REAL...I seriously hope she drops a new album soon.



"Tears Dry On Their Own"

All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I've got accustomed to,
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night,
I knew I hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity

[Chorus:]
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own,

I don't understand,
Why do I stress A man,
When there's so many bigger things at hand,
We could a never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
A Perspective pushes true,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

I shouldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,

[Chorus]

So we are history,
YOUR shadow covers me
The sky above,
A blaze only that lovers see



I wish I could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
Cause that kiss goodbye the sun sets,
So we are history,
The shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see,



He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in you way,
My deep shade,
My tears dry

Solange "Under Construction"

"Brick by Brick..."

Solange released a new track via her blog (www.mydamnblog.com)today and well for a better lack of words...I EFFIN LOVE THIS SONG! It's been on repeat since I downloaded it today. The only information Solange adds to the link is that "This will not be on the album" And In my eyes it leaves more room for material that we haven't heard.

Tell me that her vocal arrangement isn't amazing on this song...

Kid Cudi ft MGMT & RATATAT-Pursuit of Happiness

Kid Cudi released an alternate version of his video/song for his latest single "Pursuit of Happiness," which is one of my favorite songs on the album (especially because it features MGMT).The video is super creative just as expected from Kid Cudi.

Take a look and let me know what you think:

Travis MCcoy ft Bruno Mars-Billionaire

Gym Class Hero's front man Travis MCcoy is expected to drop a solo album titled "Lazarus Project." The first single "Billionaire" featuring Bruno Mars was released this week. I happen to be a Gym Class Hero's fan and especially love Travis MCcoy so I was all over this when I found the link. I am ashamed to say that I've never heard of Bruno Mars but after hearing his vocals on this track I LOVE his voice. So now I'm on a mad hunt to find more music by him...Can't wait for the album, I'm first in line...:-)

Check it and let me know what you think...

Tweet "Love Again"

Tweet's "Love Again" showed up on the Internet a couple of months ago and is expected to be off her upcoming album "Love,Tweet." This song is my favorite song of the year so far... I'm still patiently waiting for her album to drop. I'm hearing that it will come out this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Check it out:

Erykah Badu "Window Seat"

I must say that 2010 is off to a GREAT start! New music from Corinne Bailey Rae, Tweet, Sade AND E.BADU??? I love it! Check out this new song from Erykah Badu "Window Seat" from “New Amerykah Pt.2: Return of the Ankh”, due March 30.
