The Weeknd released the title track from his upcoming album Kiss Land . This track has a ton of build up from the opening seconds but the chorus sould have delivered more. I still mess with it, but expected a little more from the first leak off his next jawn. The Weeknd is going to have a tough time getting this played on the radio. THEE WEEKND - KISS LAND

Just spotted via twitter . In a post- Frank Ocean world, do people still care about the The Weeknd though?
![[Events] Check Out Stevie Wonder Parties in Toronto and New York](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4947204_lg.jpg)
The amazing Wonder-full party started by Bobbito and DJ Spinna being held for the 15th year running in NYC. Can't say how it's been recently but before I left life in Brookyln, this was the best party in NYC . Buy tickets HERE . And the homegirl, Tuku has a tribute show called "Through the Wonder Door" the night before to kick off this coming long weekend in Toronto too. Click for details HERE [...]
![[MP3] Janelle Monae feat. Erykah Badu – Q.U.E.E.N. (M-Rock’s Funky Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4944170_lg.jpg)
Was diggin' the homie, M-Rock 's Daft Punk refix . This remix of the Badu/Janelle Monae track that dropped a while back feels a little tepid to me tbh however. Disagree? Let me know in the comments.... [ via ]

I actually dig The-Dream and Hov is... well. Hov but this one is not blowing my mind. You? [h/t: mp3waxx.com ]

I know I'm (pop) R&B-ing it out right now but this record is actually great. Miguel is the truth right now... BUY Mariah Carey feat. Miguel – "#Beautiful" on iTunes HERE [via XclusivesZone.net ]
I know this i wild old in blog/online time but I just got up on it. Dubious racial imagery and content in the song aside, I think record is kind of hot. When I was up at the plantation at 550, after he broke with "Run It" and his debut album, they always talked about how Breezy had the talent to make a modern day Thriller . I don't think he ever came close to doing it despite all the hits he had and he may never fully shake the cloud around his relationship with Rihanna and [...]
Somehow, even though I had heard about it, I forgot to check for this track when it dropped last week even though Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu are two of my favorite artists but I noticed the video had just dropped via Pinterest ( check me here if you're into that sort of kind of thing, BTW) so I figured I'd just post both now. Are these (the song and video) as epic as you would expect from a collab between these two creative talents? I think you can guess where I stand [...]
I never thought I'd say this but Texas's Latasha Lee Robinson , along with her band, The BlackTies migth could be the singer who can fill the enormous gap left in music after the still untimely death of the late, great Amy Winehouse . She's the real deal. Check out this track that's very reminiscent of "Love is a Losing Game" and tell me I ain't right! At very least, it's better than than travesty that is the Andre 3000 & Beyonce cover of Amy's "Back to Black" [...]
We posted an MP3 a couple weeks back . Now here comes the video (and a chance to finally hear the full length version) for this excellent new track by UK soul icon, Omar . [via OKP ]
Cool music from T.dot-based singer-songwriter-producer, Aaron Bird. Is this soul of the electronic or pop variety, R&B or something else? You be the judge. Not sure the vocals are quite as stellar as they ought to be, after all there's a lot of contenders in the new school blue-eyed soul field from Ben Stevenson locally and Adam Levine & JT in the mainstream to Daniel Beddingfield , Mike Posner and [...]
![[MP3] Ania Soul – Over You](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4895223_lg.jpg)
Long time readers know I've supported Toronto singer, Ania Soul in the past . She just posted this song on her Soundcloud page but I was blessed to hear it while reviewing her Sonicbids submission for NXNE a few weeks back. Great song!
![[MP3] Omar – The Man](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4891667_lg.jpg)
New music from UK soul music legend, Omar is always an event! Thanks to Son of S.O.U.L. 's soundcloud for the heads up on this one.
Frank Ocean drops some visuals for my favorite track off channel Orange . As expected, the new video contains footage of Frank traveling the world. I hope he doesn't wait years to drop another album. His genius should be a relative frequent gift. FRANK OCEAN - LOST

New track, a remake of the Tyga x 2 Chainz track, "Do My Dance" from the Cassie
With the title track from his new album, The Dream once again ensures that he won't get much radio friendly play. He's definitely the biggest freak in the R&B game since Kellz. If IV Play is half as good as this early taste, we're in for a treat once again. I say it every time, The Dream is top three in the present R&B game. Hey Franky and Abel. THE DREAM - IV PLAY
![[MP3] Dwele – I Think I Love You (KwikFiks & Bongiovanni Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4884628_lg.jpg)
I used to love the original of this track . This club remix has caught my ear too. Really nice....
Mayer Hawthorne gets a little funky on a track that shouts out just about every trendy drug out there in his new love anthem "Designer Drug". Not his finest work, but it is a change of pace from the usual Motown jacking Mayer tracks. It definitely sounds like he spent a good deal of time with Chromeo on this track. MAYER HAWTHORNE - DESIGNER DRUG
