I know I’m late, seeing as though the album has been out for almost three weeks, but I just got around to listening to it. Three words: PHEN. OM. ENAL.
The entire album is tinged with so much soul, substance and passion, it made me literally stop everything for an hour and a half to devote my undivided attention. My personal favorites were ‘Spaceship Coupe’ (35:24) and Blue Ocean Floor (1:01:04) ENJOY!!!!!!
They’re at it again! The frequent collaborators are here with a new banger, which seems to be heavily influenced by Juicy J. This is definitely one of those R&B songs that the manliest of men can proudly bump from their car speakers.
Over heavy bass lines, Tank and Chris advertise their boast their love making skills, and um… romantic proclivities. CHECK IT OUT
Arguably, the man that put R&B back on the map has just dropped the visual accompaniment to his single “Lost” from his critically acclaimed album, “Channel Orange.”
The video depicts the well traveled singer getting a little lost in the whirlwind that is now his life. Very cool video, but then again, what else would you expect from Mr. Ocean? Check it Out
“Im on my 90′s s-it.”
Lil Wayne’s protegee Shanell is on her “90′s ish” indeed with this feel good cover of the hit “Don’t Walk Away” by girl group Jade.
The YMCMB artist pretty much kept the song the same, so if you loved the original, you’ll love this version as well.
So Fannie managed to get Missy back in the booth, and Kelly to sing a hook on something other than a rapper’s lead single? Yes ma’am!
The American Idol winner is back to serve us up a dose of reality to her ex (I’m assuming her second child’s father is the inspiration) with her new single “Without Me” from her highly anticipated album, “Side Effects of You.”
I personally love it. It sounds authentically R&B with Missy’s signature production stamp all over it. Listen and Enjoy!!!
Tammi and Marvin (and Method Man and Mary J. Blige) must be beaming with pride. R&B artists J.P. Hood and Cherise took on the classic made famous by the icons and managed to stay to true to the original, but with a refreshing edge.
Check it Out!!

Ok so, I know this is more hip hop than R&B but I had to make an exception. This laid back track tinged with blues is so soulful, I halfway expected J. Cole to belt out a riff or two in the intro.
“Power Trip” depicts a ‘Punch Drunk Love’ stricken fella who cannot shake his latest failed relationship. The girl has ‘got him up all night’ and singing all types of ‘love songs’ against his will.
Miguel lent his melodic vocals to balance out Cole, and to play victim in the visual pairing to the track.
Just watch…you’ll see
