Meet Passion <3

I love when one of my followers on Twitter tweets about an artist they have found on YouTube. And it's rather encouraging when the artist is singing about positive things. Meet Jeremy (aka Passion). He has a number of videos posted on YouTube singing covers of R&B songs, but if you take a trip to his MySpace page, he also has a number of original songs that he has composed himself that are inspirational pieces. I love discovering new music, and since it is #musicmonday on Twitter, I thought that it would only be right to share this with my friends.

Below is one of his original songs "Lemondade". Check Passion out on his MySpace page and YouTube channel.

Don't Call it a Comeback....

I'm so glad that there is now such a quick turn around for episodes of television shows to be put on the internet. I watched both part one & two of Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah (via necolebitchie.com) and I must say that Whitney is story is both compelling, heart wrenching and inspiring. It is truly amazing how God has worked in her life and it just further encourages me to keep living my dreams and no matter what road that we may travel, God will always be there to protect us and lead us not into that temptation. And even when we may fall into those traps, He is always there to deliver us from the evils of this world. I am soo glad that Mama Whit-Whit is back!!!

Check out her new video, "Million Dollar Bill", which was produced by the talented Alicia Keys. It's sooo classic Whitney, i love it.

I've totally be neglecting my blog, but the school year has kicked in full force and I can only anticipate the weekend. I've been thinking what spin I could take on my blog; if I just wanted to focus on certain aspects like fashion, music, or art - but i think i'm just gonna keep it the way that it is a focus on it all. Today, I heard one of my favorite artist's new joint, and let me just say that I cannot wait until this young lady drops her new LP. She did her thang at the VMAs the other evening (sans being interrupted by someone on stage during her performance - *rolls eyes*) but it's all good! Her red carpet look was also very stunning. i hope that my school gets wise enough to throw out the bread to bring her for MayFest ;-)

Check out Alicia Keys' new single, "Doesn't Mean Anything"

Welcome Back-Lesson #1:Musicality

So today was the official first day of my junior year - and i must say, that it went pretty well. I've been blessed to have a really good schedule this semester, and I just can't wait to see the amazing things that God has in store for me, my classmates, family, and friends this upcoming semester. With this being the start of the semester and all, I've decided to devote this week to things that we call could use to bring in this new school year right *besides always keeping G-O-D first of course, lol :)*

Here are a few cool back-to-school music essentials that I think will have you rockin' all semester long:



*this is THEE dopest commercial i've ever seen & Blueprint 3 is a raw album, period. The album officially drops September 11th, 2009.




*"ready" officially dropped today, and I must say, Tremaine has truly put his heart and soul into this album. I just appreciate his growth and maturity soo much, and his vocals have really become much stronger. "One Love" is one of my faves. :)

Other releases include Whitney Houston's "I Look to You" and Colbie Caillat's "Breakthrough". I'll be highlighting several other albums as they drop, but these are vital to purchase and or download.

Start taking notes ladies & gents, class is now in session.

R.I.P. DJ AM

This has certainly been one sad summer, but it should show us that tomorrow isn't promised and that we should really live our lives to the fullest. I wish I would've had the chance to see him spin live, because he was pretty dope at his job. Check out a few links below. Rest in Peace Adam.

R.I.P Aaliyah

Tuesday, August 25th will make eight years since the original Princess has been away from us here on Earth. You've had many imitators, but you can never duplicate the uniqueness and musicality of this Angel. Her music still lives on incredibly and we miss her dearly. Rest in Peace 'Baby Girl'...

Artist Watch: Esmee Denters

Every has gotten their fame thanks to YouTube. Whether it was because you took a fall off of a table or spazzed out because your mom canceled your game subscription - you've had your fifteen minutes of web-fame. But this chick maybe a little different...

Esmee Denters is a Dutch singer that was discovered by Justin Timberlake via YouTube.com, and let me say, she can sing her face. She kind of reminds me of JoJo *remember the "Get Out" chick?* with a splash of Aubrey O'Day but she has her own type of flavor and swang. And it isn't that bad that she's got JT for a boss ;-)

The twenty-one year old singer has recently released a showcase via YouTube, which includes her single "Outta Here" produced by Timberlake and Polow Da Don as well as other singles. I must say, I like her range and her vocals are pretty dope as well. I'm looking forward to hearing more from this young lady, and hopefully she will be a nice addition to the R&B/Pop community.

Check here out here on her YouTube channel



And show her some love on Twitter too :) www.twitter.com/esmeeworld
