Hidden Gem v8

February 6th, 2010

Taking you back to early 2000 Sunday mornings before 1xtra we had the Dreem Teamand the like and this would most defiantly have got airtime…

I had this on C.D. when I was at college. For me college was shit but it’s went I first started getting into music seriously so I guess this is where it all started…

My Rant re:R&B

January 24th, 2010

I was sitting watching TV earlier and the standard advert for “R&B Lovesongs 2010” came on advertising a track listing that included the following two artists N-Dubz, Cheryl Cole. What I don’t get is how is this R&B?

There are other artists like Lady GaGa, Soulja Boy on the track list who I guess they can fit into this genre in some form. But before long Justin Bieber will be branded R&B just because Usher is involved in the project (OK there is no doubt he has potential but right now?)

Justin Bieber R&B?

Eliza Doolittle

January 21st, 2010

Didn’t really know much about Eliza Doolittle till the other day but did some Youtube and MySpace digging and I’m really impressed with what she has got to offer, stating her influences as Minnie Riperton, The Beach Boys amongst others.

Eliza Doolittle

Hoping that she gets to release an album I’m sure there is one penciled in but for some reason it feels like its a project that will go under the radar, when it should blow up. I suppose that doesn’t make any difference to me as long as I get hold of an album really love her sound!

Here’s the lead single Skinny Genes

More after the jump… EPK and all (if you don’t know what a EPK is you can find out)

Lemar The Way Love Goes

January 19th, 2010

Nice to see Lemar going a little up-beat to shift some copies of his soon to be released greatest hits (The Hits features JLS which actually sounds quite nice and a few new tracks). I do prefer Lemar on more Souly vibes but its nice to see him try something a little out of his normal zone and the remix features Mz Bratt (we like)…

Here is the video – this is nicely polished I love the MJ influence and use of the Silhouette and Rubix Cube cool stuff and the Lady in this video….

We look forward to album #6 you never know what Lemar is going to come with….

Darren B – Delays, Setbacks & Drama (Mixtape)

January 19th, 2010

You will find this guy appearing as a feature artist on few U.K artists albums Sway, Wretch 32 also I am sure I have heard some of his Solo stuff before but can’t remember for the life of me the title of the track(I will find out think it was Shorty Got it Bad/Stand By Me, back in the day when DJB rocked 1xtra). He is also on the LG adverts that are around at the moment!

Anyway courtesy of twitter earlier I was informed that Darren B has dropped a mixtape today and I am four tracks in and it’s sounding hot…

You can download it here – Enjoy!
