Janelle Monae – Many Moons

Janelle Monae – Many Moons (Windows Media Streaming)
So I wrongfully predicted that Outkast associate Janelle Monae’s current project would go nowhere, but was proven wrong when P Diddy signed her to Bad Boy Recordings a couple months ago. Although fans were surprised and skeptical of the Bad Boy association, I doubt that Puff will turn her into another Cassie. So far, she’s still doing her own thing, and this major label push may be whats needed to get her mainstream attention.
Many Moons is the latest single off of her self-released project Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase, which was released last year. I’m actually liking this one a little better than “Violent Stars Happy Hunting,” and it has a certain pop sensibility to it, sort of like a female version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” Time will tell if the mainstream catches on.

I almost got fired listening to this song! “The man” said I should refrain from such behavior.
I got out of my cubicle and started doing the rag top..atlanta knows what that is.
Oh well…this should be your Monday morning song for life! If this don’t wake you up…get some smelling salt.

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
