visually appealling : "shutterbug" - big boi
it's been a while since i've seen a vid from the one half of outkast, but i must say i do like it a lot! it's very colorful and has many different technologically-driven illusions, but that's what makes it very fun. i like the song too, something that i can totally groove to this summer!

artist spotlight : pj morton
i love R&B music. the first time i heard this artist's music was when i went to visit my cousin in washington, d.c. last spring. i literally fell in love with his rendition of the "cheers" theme song, and from that moment, i knew that this had to be an artist i needed to hear more from.
PJ Morton, an r&b/neo-soul artist from new orleans, la. has an impeccable sound that i haven't heard in a long time, and i must say he is a raw talent that has been missing from the r&b game. he describes his music as, " feel good music that lyrically tells stories about life and love music that makes your heart think and coins his style of music, soulful pop" (http://www.myspace.com/pjmorton).
his newest release, "walk alone" has a variety of sounds, but i would definitely agree with him that it does make you feel good. from r&b, pop, to gospel, listening to his voice just really warms my heart and its truly a blessing to hear his story through his music.
his album is one of those records that you can just listen to from beginning to end. some of my favorite tracks include "walk alone", "don't ever leave", "girlfriend", and "love you more" feat. tweet. his rendition of "let go" by dewayne woods that he sings with his father bishop pj morton, sr. totally pays respect to his "son of a preacher man" background, which i admire and respect.
check out his website, follow him on twitter and try to catch him on tour!

visually appealing : kayne west - coldest winter
"if spring can take the snow away, can it melt away all our mistakes?"
in my opinion, 8o8s & Heartbreak is one of 'Ye's realest albums to date, and this track really spoke to me when it was first released back in november 2oo8.
check out the video below. it gives me a kind of sleepy hollow mixed with the blair witch project feel, and although west is no where in the video, the graphics and visuals are DOPETASTIC.
there are obviously several metaphors that represent kanye's life at that point and time, and i think that he has artistically expressed them here perfectly.

little drummer boy : steph jones
happy holidays everyone!
it feels SO good to be back home in the windy city for the holidays. i'm doing my best to relax and rest before i head back to the 'cuse for another tedious semester. but to get everyone into the christmas spirit, steph jones has released his own version of the holiday classic, "little drummer boy". i absolutely love steph jones as an artist, and i think that he has a very unique flavor that he is bringing to the r&b game.
check out the video that features cameos from pop sensation jordin sparks & socialite b. scott.
merry christmas everyone, & i'll be sure to holla back before the new year!

crawl - chris brown
every now and then, there comes a song that surfaces that has not only a good message, but is very inspirational. i'm the type of person that sees art in music. . .the art of dance that is. i absolutely adore chris' new song and have been inspired to create some type of movement to it. i'm not too sure when i will have time, but i know that a seed has been planted - maybe this dream will come to life march 2011?
who knows. but until then, enjoy the song & let me know what you think of it.

so just pull the trigger : "russian roulette"
hello loves!
i hope that everyone has had a great week. so, if you haven't already heard it, i'm gonna talk about it because i think that this record is bananas - it's awfully deep too.
rihanna released the first single off her much anticipated album "rated r" that drops 11.23.09. now usually, i wouldn't be the hyped for a rihanna album, seeing as though i really wasn't a big fan of her when she came out back in 'o5, but ne-yo & chuck harmony produced the hell out of this joint and to them, i give madd props. people were saying that it has a demonic message, but honestly, i don't see anything demonic about this song. while the title may be disturbing to some, i think the song has a deeper message of how sometimes in life, we have to take risks and chances, hoping to God that when we "pull the trigger", a bullet is not released from that chamber.
i can't wait to see the style that rihanna is bring forth on this next album and i will be sure to review it once it comes out. seeing all that she's been through in the past eight months and how she hasn't said a word about the situation to the press, i think it was wise of her to let her music do the talking.
check out the song below & ri-ri, keep doin' ya thang mama.
love.peace&happiness,

"paint with passion + purpose" -david garibaldi
being that i am very attracted to dance as a form of expression, when i came across david garibaldi's work, i couldn't resist it. a performance artist, garibaldi specializes in creating his masterpieces in front of an audience of hundreds to music. his most recent creation that took my breath away was that in remembrance of the King Of Pop entitled "pop trilogy" (shown above). word to concreteloop.com for acknowledging such talent and sophistication. as stated on his website, most of his inspiration comes from graffiti, music, dance and hip hop. in april of this year, garibaldi performed on the 700 club a portrait of christ. this dude is definitely off the chain. his artwork is also featured on shirts sold at metropark. he has traveled all over the country, opening for the blue man group and snoop dogg just to name a few. check him out for yourself =]
