Review: Precious Soundtrack
The music included on the Precious movie soundtrack is as great today as it was when it originally surfaced, however, the soundtrack as a medium to tell this story falls short because of its disconnect.

Remember The Time
The Dangerous album was such a beautiful space in which Michael Jackson existed. He traveled the line of race & sexuality as America welcomed the ’90s: cross-colors & grunge, The Clintons & The Fresh Prince, gangsta rap & New Jack Swing, & the death of the cassette tape.
In February of 1992, Michael Jackson, with [...]
