Musiq!...Again

It's been a while since I last posted anything music related so here's an update.

Firstly it seems that Bobby Valentino's album Special Occasion has been pushed back yet again. It's now scheduled for a release early next year which is a shame 'cos most of the album is already available in the right places if you know what I mean. Having heard alot of his new material i can say that his style remains very much intact which is a good thing and a bad thing. It's good cos it sounds a lot like his first album which I liked but then again it doesn't show much progression as an artist. A true example would be someone like John Legend who came with a new sound for his sophomore release Once Again.


Jeezy's back with the follow up to Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. The new album titled The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 is more of the same. I've given it a quick scan through and it sounds very similar to the first album. I won't lie, i'm more into my R&B rather than hip-hop/rap so i cant give a detailed review on this. I'd say i like the first album better but then saying that i only really liked 3 or 4 tracks on that album which doesn't say much about this album. Here's the video to his latest song I Luv It

Darien Brockington - Someone To Love. An underground artist that brings something fresh. This album is filled with R&B and has some really good tracks on it, my personal favourites are Don't Say Goodbye and More And More. Check it out if you have the chance.


My last album review is Ciara's new album The Evolution. The album is pretty solid from what I'e heard so far and alot better than her first in my opinion. She brings her usual sounds hooking up with Lil' Jon & DarkChild and the likes to produce the club bangers but then also puts in a few slow jams like her lead single Promise (watch the video above). Tracks that stand out for me so far are Make It Last Forever and Can't Leave 'Em which features 50 Cent.

Even after playing Lloyd's latest song for over a month now I'm still not sick of it yet check out the video
As well as that I'm still listening to Black Republican by Nas and Jigga. Anyways as for new tunes, this is what I'm bopping my head to this week:

  • Lil' Wayne - I Gotcha
  • Megan Rochelle - Heartbreak
  • Chris Brown - Poppin' [Remix]

TV

I don't really watch much TV except for sport, I mainly download stuff as most of the good stuff is shown in America months in advance. Good examples would be Lost and Prison Break. The Americans have so far had 6 episodes of Lost and so far they have been OK on the whole. The show is good but soooooo frustrating, just gimmie some damn answers instead of more questions!!!!!! On the other hand Prison Break is up to episode 13 and this show just keeps getting better and better. I don't wanna give anything away for any of the shows so I won't really discuss it but just check out both when they air over here although Lost is already showing on Sky One if I'm not mistaken.

And now for the main attraction!!!! HEROES



This show is sick! Its about these ordinary people who discover that they have powers, yeah very original I know but trust me this show's really good. You have the usual powers of mind reading and teleportation as well as others which I won't ruin for you.
