When our very own Adam Rutledge had a sit down with Kaytranada before he took to the stage at Igloofest , Kevin Celestin mentioned that he rarely listens to new music. He’d rather listen to old disco and soul music like Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye (“or some rock music shit like Jeff Buckely”). And that appreciation for the classics is apparent in most of his work. Celestin knows exactly how to put his own spin on the tracks he works with while leaving just enough of the original groove to remind us just how good [...]
Productor del lúbrico (y algo eclipsado por sus geniales hermanos mayores) " I Want You " de Marvin Gaye, y firmante entre otras cosas de la canción que da título a ese disco, la figura de Leon Ware exige un mayor reconocimiento, no sólo por su faceta como compositor de canciones y productor de increíbles grabaciones, sino también por ese pedazo de disco fabrica-bebés a su nombre que es " Musical Massage ". Leon Ware era un currante más de esa gigantesca maquinaria orquestada por Berry Gordy llamada Motown Records, como compositor y arreglista. En los créditos de [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation Brad Barket, Getty This week in music history is all about controversy, conflict and untimely death -- with a little something in the middle of the week to lighten the mood . It's a big week for Motown history, and on the other end of the spectrum we've got Korn and the Dixie Chicks dealing with [...]
Speaking of making love (which I did in yesterday's post), just because you're not doing it, doesn't mean you can't listen to great music about it, and Al Green aside, no musical act in the '70s offered as many stunning sexual stimulants as The Isley Brothers. Have you listened to their soundtrack for romance lately -- songs like "Lay-Away," "That Lady (Part 1)," "For the Love of You (Part 1 & 2)," or "Footsteps in the Dark" -- or at all? It's timeless and better than anything passing for soul music these days. "Lay-Away" [...]
After a long while, it seems that the long awaited film about the soul crooner Marvin Gaye, entitled Sexual Healing , will finally begin production later this month in Europe. Initially, rocker casanova Lenny Kravitz was set to play the leading role of Marvin Gaye, until Gaye's son, Marvin Gaye III, threatened to take legal action against the film's focus on the most difficult time of Gaye's life. Instead Law and Order's Jesse L. Martin will take the leading role in the production. Sexual [...]
Singer-come-actor Lenny Kravitz has been axed as the lead role in an upcoming Marvin Gaye biopic. The film about the Motown star, who died in 1984, will start shooting later this year, centring on the soul singer’s battle against addiction during the 1980s. Legendary British director and man behind Sex Pistols pic The Great Rock N Roll Swindle , Julien Temple has signed on with the project. Kravitz was initially billed to play Gaye, but has now been [...]
Jesse L. Martin reemplaza a Lenny Kravitz en el biopic de Marvin Gaye El largo proceso que ha tomado el biopic de Marvin Gaye ha sido muy tedioso y lleno de obstáculos, después de haber pasado por varios directores, se ha reescrito un par de veces, y el artista protagónico ya cambió. La última problemática se dio en diciembre del año pasado cuando Marvin Gaye III , hijo de la estrella, amenazó con emprender acciones legales contra la producción, ya que la propuesta de la historia se centraba en [...]
There is something odd happening in London at the moment. There appears to be a giant glowing ball in the sky radiating small amounts of warmth. Some way its a meteor heading our way, I've heard rumours that it could be a giant spaceship and somebody even mentioned it could be The Sun. If it is the latter, then I offer this track up in tribute. May it be sunny for the rest of our days.
The long-in-the-works biopic about Marvin Gaye has faced its share of obstacles, having gone through several directors, rewrites, and challenges from his estate. The latest came back in December, when Gaye's son, Marvin Gaye III, threatened legal action against the production over its proposed storyline, which Gaye said focused on a "low period" in his father's life, and encouraged his childhood friend Lenny Kravitz to walk away from the starring role . Kravitz has since adhered to those wishes, and as Deadline reports, former Law & Order star [...]
In the past couple of years, R&B has found itself developing a strange relationship between its cold, technological, 80s self and its soulful Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye past. That combination has led to albums from the likes of Frank Ocean and The Weeknd receiving critical and commercial success, bringing R&B back from its mid-20002s malaise and creating a path for its future. In the meantime, Arthur Ashin's Autre Ne Veut [...]
The sister of late soul singer Marvin Gaye has debuted a new play about her brother's life in Detroit. The play, entitled My Brother Marvin , was premiered last night at the city's Fisher Theater, where it is set to run until Sunday (17 February). Zeola Gaye explained the premise in a press release: “Through the years, I became taken aback and disappointed with everything that had been written, said and published about my family, especially my brother Marvin that wasn't [...]

Jeremy Sole brings us this remix of the legendary Marvin Gaye’s classic “Anger”. Jeremy’s use of percussion and groove is fantastic; the listener is carried from start to finish. Great remix.
The other day, upcoming Irish producer Replete shared with his fans this wonderful edit he put together a while back. A mash-up between Shlohmo's "Seriously" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," this track reaches levels of sensuality that I didn't even think were possible. It's remarkable how well these two songs work together! I hope you enjoy this free-download as much as I have been!

I've taken immediately to this song because of its melody and sweetness, but I think more importantly, because of how it made me almost instantly look inwards. What are the things we do in rage? I love the ease of this song while simultaneously allowing us to contemplate. The bongos introduce a sultry edit to this Marvin Gaye track, which leaves me wanting and craving more until the other instruments make their important appearances. As someone who praises and appreciates zen and calm, I think there is something incredibly important to be said about the appearance [...]
The Temptations: [ It's a Lonely World Without Your Love ]
Think less, do more. I tend to over think things. Whether it's where to go to eat or what song to listen to while I'm working out, I'm constantly plagued by indecisiveness and procrastination. Maybe it's the English major in me, but I tend to analyze every aspect of my life, from where my life is headed to what color shirt to wear. The consequence is pretty simple: I feel like I don't get about a tenth of what I set out to do and hope to accomplish. Ideas flow through my veins, but [...]
