Jill Scott – The Light of the Sun June 28, 2011

I’ve never really been big on the neo-soul track but Jill Scott grabbed my attention with her first album ” Who is Jill Scott?” After that I really didn’t follow her work much unless it was something on the radio or she played in a movie. She’s got me again with her 4th studio album “The Light of the Sun” with songs like So in Love ft Anthony Hamilton, Rollings Hills, and Womanifesto. Her voice just exudes pure soul! She has appearances from fellow Philly native Eve, The Roots Black Thought and Doug E Fresh. She will be performing at the 2011 Essence Music Festival before her own tour starts on July 28th. You can find out more about her on her official website www.missjillscott.com and follow her on twitter www.twitter.com/@missjillscott .

I purchased her cd on Amazon mp3 for $8.99. Check it out! I love it!

Born This Way May 25, 2011

I must give props where they are due. I’m not one of Gaga’s litte monster’s but I respect her grind. She does have some radio hits I find myself singing. Hey they’re catchy! So Monday I got on Amazon mp3 on my Blackberry looking for a few songs to download and saw that Born This Way was going for $.99! New album you can’t beat that! So yesterday I got tired of listening to the radio at work threw on my headphones and listened to it. I was a little surprised that I like alot of the songs on the album. Mind you, unless you like dance music you will more than likely not like them. Of course I was feeling her radio hits but her songs Goverment Hooker, Americano and Bad Kids  pulled me in more. Now I’m not saying you will see me at a Gaga concert but I like her sound. Plus I have to respect her to her message of equality!

So check her out. As of today Amazon has the cd for $6.99!
