Musical Monday " Dwele"

I have been a true fan of Dwele for a long time now. I have seen him live at Essence, and look forward to catching him again.  This is his 5th studio Album and his growth is evident. The new CD is called, "Greater than One"  and it is, in my opinion greater than most. If you are a  Dwele fan, this will not disappoint, if you are new to him or his music, then this will be a nice surprise. He tackles love and commitment on this album...what else ? Of course love makes for the most interesting and universal type of music right ? There is awesome instrumentation, his melodies are sick and his lyrics are complex. The vibe is mellow, sexy, artistic, soulful, jazzy, among other things. I have been wearing this CD out recently. You can preview all the tracks right here.

Some of my favorite tracks are: "Going,Leaving" a warning to all the guys who can lose true love by being commitment phobic."What You Gotta Do", the bass line breakdown in this song is so sick & Raheem DeVaughn is a nice surprise guest on this song. "What Profit"  is the albums first single and "Special", a nice party anthem for the true lovers !

Take a listen of the links I dropped below.....











 And this is the Remix of the first Single,

Day 17 Ipod Shuffle

Put your Ipod on Shuffle, first 10 songs.

Since I have not been able to find my Ipod since my niece was here for spring break I am just gonna list 10 random artists that I am feeling right now. Most of these are true talents flying under the radar in my opinion and being slept on. I have to thank my musical twin,  Mr. Mixologist  for introducing me to the majority of these artists. Here they are in no particular order....
   

•  Noel Gourdin  I hope this guy gets a shot to shine. 
•  Wayna  She is an Ethiopian beauty with a lot of talent ! 
•  Choklate I can play this lady all day and all night. I also like her song, "Never Change". Truth.
•  Zo ! Actually a producer & part of the Foreign Exchange crew....nuff said. This CD is the bizness. 
•  Algebra Blessett  ATL born & bred. Man, if this girl could just get some promotion. 
• Darien Brockington    He runs in the some good musical circles like Zo 
• Conya Doss  Some say she sounds like Mary J, but I think she has a little something different.
• Van Hunt  This dude totally makes me think of a young Curtis Mayfield. My favorite song by him.
• Lina  I love her style it's so different. 

I hope you discover someone new to you than you can enjoy and support.
