From The 9:30 Club:
Influential hip-hop band The Roots originally resonated more with alternative rock fans. Their major label debut album, Do You Want More?!!!??!, made waves with its mix of improvisational jazz styles, full band instrumentation, and hip-hop beats. Through much of the ‘90s and this decade, The Roots have influenced a broad generation of music fans, remaining at the forefront of their genre and performing as the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. October of this year saw the release of their latest single, “How I Got Over”, a more positive spin on the band’s recent move into darker tones and heavy political themes. The Roots will bring their solid live show to 9:30 Club for two special nights this December, giving D.C. some power, perspective, and a ton of proper jams.

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 [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[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.
