It’s amazing how unscripted good art can be.
In a world of information overload, where a simple Google search on “songwriting” pulls up over 2 million responses, the true artistry and craftsmanship of songwriting begins in a natural, beautiful place.
The heart.
Don’t get me [...]

Silhouette Brown – Check In (Calling You)
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
If you ever find yourself visiting Atlanta, one of your destinations must be Moods Music in the Little Five Points area of the city. It would be un-neighborly of me, however, not to warn you of the potential dangers of visiting this musical [...]
Audio Relaxation Therapy – Shingo Suzuki
Welcome to the first installment of Audio Relaxation Therapy. A.R.T. began as a humble email blast sent out to office workers across the United States, Toronto, Hong Kong and Japan. The email consisted of positive thoughts, good music and the encouragement to back away from the monitors, don the headphones and breathe.
A.R.T. has now found [...]
Video: Georgia Anne Muldrow – Run Away
This is the lead single from Georgia Anne Muldrows album “Early”, being distributed by the Animatedcartunes label. “Early” apparently consists of several of Georgia’s first recordings – at the tender age of 17. Richly textured and jazz inflected, these recordings may not be as far left of center as some of her later material, however [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
