Love Me Now, When I'm Gone, Love Me None By Taylor K. Long For an emotional R&B singing moniker, Christopher Breaux aka Frank Ocean couldn't have done much better. Writers often use water metaphors – an ocean, in particular – to represent feelings, emotions, and hidden...

With the Pied Piper being a bit stingy recently in keeping us entertained with his signature brand of R&B cray, we've been forced to have seek out ways to satisfy our R. Kelly fix elsewhere. Usually that falls on hearing whatever newness The-Dream is up to, but here, Chicago producer/ remixer Johnny Lawson has come up with something equally as satisfying. Taking on Kellz' 2007 Double Up -housed "Real Talk" , a hilarious slice of expletive-laced soap opera soul in which he dodges question of [...]
All My Life I Will Wait To Attain It By Taylor K. Long At some point in our 20s, we inevitably feel what can best be described as a burden of proof. We begin noticing milestones, the age of achievements. How Michelangelo was 29 when he finished "David." How Franz Liszt was famous and touring Europe by the age of 30. The stream of brilliant young minds is endless; every generation will have its Mark Zuckerbergs and Beyoncés and Téa Obrehts to compare themselves to. This feeling causes us to scratch at the walls, imagined or otherwise, desperate to push [...]
By Davis McGraw I suck at keeping up with new releases, but I'm a sucker for show & tell. Here are five records that I heard in 2011 and deserve a good listen. 5. Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes: Havin' A Party With Southside Johnny (1979) [Goodwill in Laconia, August] Johnny found his way into my collection near the end of a brief serendipitous streak, and for that I thank him. Much like the Boss, these boardwalk boys know their escapism back & forth. 4. Ry Cooder: Paris, Texas (1985) [Burlington Records, September] I remember watching Paris, Texas for [...]

Years removed from a lengthy period in the aughts in which everything Ashanti 's bright, girly coo touched was guaranteed to occupy the upper reaches of the R&B and pop charts (no matter the quality), hearing something new from the former Murder Inc. First Lady feels entirely welcome, especially with that new being something as tough as new leakage "The Woman You Love". Though there's still something woefully basic about Ashanti's choice of lyrics, her confrontational turn here as a girlfriend completely exasperated with trying to make a going-nowhere union work ("What about my pride?/ You never [...]

If Frank Ocean was really the cool cat we tend to imagine him being in our heads, he would be sometime soon hooking up a studio-recorded rendition of the "By Your Side" cover he's been serenading audiences with at the top of his recent live gigs. Right now, dude can do no wrong in our eyes, and his lovely, straightforward take on the decade-old Sade favorite is one we desperately need to have in official form...for tender, sexy-time-with-boo purposes of course. Peep a fan-made clip of him taking on the ditty below, [...]

Click image to download track Sounds like: Daft Punk, Cassius "Jean Jacques Smoothie - 2 People" What's so good? Listening to Jamie xx's Essential Mix reminded me of this house anthem of the early 00s. Everything about this track - the Daft Punk style vocals, the filters, and especially the artists name - scream France. But you'd be wrong if you [...]
Unique album pour les deux danois Asger Baden et Peter Leth , The One You Left Behind sorti en toute intimité sur le label Lizard Shakedown Records. Dans la droite lignée du premier album de Goldfrapp ou de I Monster , leur style est très marqué par une musique psycho-dramatique, parfois cinématographique. Le duo invite sur son album diverses chanteuses et musiciens qui gravitent autour d'eux mais qui restent pour l'instant d'illustres inconnus comme Maria Laurette Friis, Claus Hempler, Egil Dennerline, Per Møllehøj ou Mikael Simpson. [...]

Zenzile Makeba Qgwashu Nguvama était et restera une figure emblématique de l'Afrique du Sud. On la connait bien sûr sous son nom de scène Miriam Makeba . Elle grandit dans un cadre familiale très difficile. Sa mère emprisonnée quelques jours après sa naissance, son père qui meurt alors qu'elle n'a que 5 ans et l'apartheid qui commence à ses 15 ans. C'est sûrement un peu de tout cela (injustice et mouvements politiques) qu'est apparu en Miriam la volonté de faire bouger les choses, de faire entendre sa voix. Et par chance elle le [...]

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades Chris Brown - Yeah x3 Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night

Being fans of cover songs in general around these parts, the announcement of Canadian indie-rockers Tokyo Police Club 's latest project being a freebie series in which they remake ten different songs from the past ten years over ten days of course hit us directly in our sweet spot. Of the four entries unleashed so far, most have, a tad underwhelmingly, fallen on the side of being just okay (with agreeable, if not out-and-out extraordinary, guitar-drenched takes on Kelly Clarkson's eternal karaoke classic "Since U Been Gone" , Moby's semi-forgotten [...]
