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]
