By Kristal Bailey It’s rare that you get an opportunity to see an artist in transition. John West headlined at The Key Club in Los Angeles last week and while the opening hip hop acts were lackluster, he put on a better show than the others on stage that night. He’s only been on Island Def Jam Records for 6 months and it seems his new label wants him to go in a new direction. While he played a...
Meet: John West Definitely different from the other Mr. West, this gentlemen is probably most comparable to Robin Thicke. Any track below will set the tone for a classy night out on the town or a romantic evening for two. The combo with Pusha is pretty impressive in own right and it definitely brings out the poet out of the usually g’ed up G.O.O.D. music associate. John West feat. Pusha T - Lovely John West - Love You Tonight
Another day, another Pusha feature. This time Mr. Thornton spits a few bars over new R&B artist John West's "Lovely". This is that sweet R&B, that candy sweet, honey smooth R&B, the kind of R&B you listen to when you're kickin' it with your girl on a Friday or in the crib with your Moms on a Sunday. The rhythm patterns in the drums remind a bit of another, kinda famous, Mr. West, that sort of trailing kick pattern. Sure, this shit sounds like Robin Thicke, but in a GOOD (G.O.O.D.) way. "Lovely" is mint. Get into it. [...]

Recently-signed Mercury/Island Def Jam artist John West (reminiscent of Robin Thicke) began his hustle as a street performer in Los Angeles, selling 35,000 CDs independently. Meanwhile, he packed out clubs on the Sunset Strip including the iconic Roxy Theatre. The industry took notice. With his major-label debut dropping this summer, things are heating up quickly for this southern boy from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “I like to get people swaying and smiling, it’s pretty simple,” West says, guitar in hand. He’s...

Recently-signed Mercury/Island Def Jam artist John West is picking up where Robin Thicke left off in Croonersville (yes it's a real place... in my mind!) with this "Lovely" little jam featuring Pusha T. West, who hails from Baton Rouge, LA is expected to drop his debut album sometime this summer and is being produced by studio heavyweights including Ari Levine of The Smeezingtons, Kevin Rudolf, Benny Blanco, The Stereotypes, Jerry Wonda, and hot young talent including Christian Rich, who produced "Lovely". In terms of live performances, [...]
![John West - Lovely (Ft. Pusha T) [Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3308718_lg.jpg)
Singer-songwriter John West has developed into a veteran and recognizable figure of the Los Angeles independent musician circuit for a long while. Honing his low-key, R&B-influenced sound over the years, the newly signed artist is known to many as a mainstay of the Hotel Cafe and performing street-side at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. On the new single "Lovely," West enlists the help of one-half of Virginia rap duo Clipse , intertwining his smooth vocal delivery with Pusha 's surprisingly complementary and unabrasive flow. Keep an eye out on this one, West is set to blow up with [...]
If music is the highway to the soul, consider this new cut from John West a four lane interstate with no traffic in sight. The arrival of the spring and summer months are normally associated with sights easy on the eyes and this Christian Rich produced cut, "Lonely," is everything full bloom flowers and packed beaches represent, only in audio form. The Mercury/Island Def Jam artist has drawn comparisons to Robin Thicke and the reasons why shine brightly after listening to this uber-tranquilizing cut which also boasts a guest appearance and welcomed change of pace from Pusha [...]
John West Lovely Feat. Pusha T by John West Really feeling this jam, produced by Christian Rich . John West definitely seems primed for stardom, with his Robin Thicke-esque vocals and Island Def Jam contract in pocket. And a little Pusha T never hurt anyone. Look for John West's debut to drop this Summer drink the kool aid:
![[COVER] John West- Umbrella (Rihanna Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1633735_lg.jpg)
So there have been a ton of Rihanna covers, and covers for that part, floating around everywhere but I am going to take a stand and say that this is my favorite cover of Rihanna period. If you want to challenge me, give me some links, some songs and try to 1-up me. It is just awesome to hear a song you are so used to listening to flipped tripped upside down and comes out in a whole different light but still sound amazing. I think a cover is the best where they turn songs like Umbrella into this [...]
If I could play any instrument, I’d choose the piano. It’s a great regret of mine that my musical ability is limited to terrible harmonizing and playing the radio. I have dreams of playing slow, soulful tunes in some smoky bar (not in New York, however) where everything is kind of bluish in color. Next life, I guess. John West plays the type of music I’d like to, if I could. It’s acoustic soul, mixed with some piano, and is probably played somewhere warmer than here. (I have to brush [...]
LAUREN: How was work? WHITNEY: I'm tired. Ok, what's up with your text message first of all? LAUREN: When I sat down she wasn't there, she was late, and they called roll and the woman called her name and I was like… WHITNEY: Was she sitting by you?... LAUREN: How was work? WHITNEY: I'm tired. Ok, what's up with your text message first of [...]
In order for me to cover a song, the melody must strike me as well thought out. I can't just relate to the song personally, it must also involve the artist's emotional detail. I tend to crave a genuine credibility from an artist's voice and lyrics –- songs in which I believe every word. If I'm able to put myself in the situation of a song and play the part, then I know it's for real and I want to share it with others. -- Angel Snow, singer-songwriter [...]
