    New Music: Jose James – Code Produced by Flying Lotus

    JOSE JAMES – CODE by Brownswood
    Jose James has always been one of my favorite artists of this decade. His  organic, jazzy voice is a unique sound in these days of pitch correction and over-produced tracks.
    So I’m glad to see that Mr. James is back on the scene, with a new album Black Magic, [...]

    New Music: Jose James – Black Magic

    If you haven’t been enticed with the magical voice of Jose James, then you’re missing out. The jazz crooner has been a favorite on most people’s “underground” list for years. His latest album, Black Magic, dropped last week, and he just dropped a video for his latest single, “Code.” Enjoy. (via Beatlife)

    Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach

    4.0/5

    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 [...]

    4.5/5

    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 [...]

    4.0/5

    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”

    4.5/5

    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.
    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 [...]
