I forgot to pick up or look for Algebra.

I did get Badu and Kravitz.
I think she can get at least 3 of the songs on the radio. Many artists like her, they don't get much play, but they have a large following. :D

Master Teacher sounds like something Bilal would do.

I REALLY like this! It's different...like her! IMO it picks up where Wwu left off.

I'll get to LK in a week or 2. :o I'm sure it's good! :D

ETA: I heard Mariah's latest single. It sounds like something that would have appeared on Emancipation of MiMi. That's a good sign. :D

I hope she makes an appearance at our class reunion in May. That would be a REAL treat! :D She started her last tour at GSU...anything is possible! :D :crossing fingers:

I'm thinking I will ask for CDs for my 23rd birthday (2.28.08). One of my best friends wants to get me something. Algebra, Ledisi's first album, and the new Erykah seem like a good deal to me. I might even add Estelle, Eric Roberson and Rahsaan Patterson to the mix. :D

o.k., so tomorrow i need to get erykah and lenny. i can't believe it slipped my mind today.

yep! ;):D

My best friends are getting me tickets to Bilal (3.8.08) and Raheem Devaughn (3.10.08)!!!! Another friend is getting us tickets to Mos Def (3.30.08). Hopefully Bilal and Raheem don't sell out before purchases are made. February has already been a great music month, thanks to the AMAZING Ledisi and Chrisette Michele shows I attended. :D

I'll have to buy those CDs as a t-day gift, but I won't mind at all. LOL

Soror RD, get to NYC and I'm telling you... it's on for a concert. Pinky promise!

I read the first paragrah and was thinking, "I MUST get up there by Soror SoulfulRemix!!" Then I get to the last line.... LMAO!!! I'm on my way!! Just give me until the end of July when the bar is over and then you won't be able to get rid of me!!! LOL!!

I listened to Lenny on the way to work today. Typical Lenny...rock with some soul. :D

^^^
I concur! I have loved Lenny since he was singing about "letting love rule!"

It was definitely worth the wait! I just finished listening to it, and it's beautiful, especially "I Think I Love You"...*sigh* (just having a flashback! :D)
10 out of 10

From start to finish, it is a wonderfully crafted album!!

My local BestBuy did not have Algebra's album!!! I'll check Circuit City or head downtown for it.

I got it from iTunes. You may have to go to an independent store

^^^
It's on Rhapsody too. :)

Am I the only one feeling New Amerikah?

Nope, I am too! I love The Healer, Master Teacher, That Hump, Telephone and Honey!

Nope, I love it too! :D

Those are my favorites, too! Also add "Me" to the list!:)

I like Soldier as well.

Check out VH1 Soul. EB performs live on the Soul Stage. She performs new and old tunes. :D

Another New Amerykah lover!!!! Erykah did her thing with this album... It's been on repeat at home since Thursday. I love Master Teacher, That Hump and Telephone. Shoot, I love it all!! But I really, really, really love Telephone. (Dilla :( )

Soror Soulfulremix: Ditto on all of the above!

I actually kinda like Janet's new album. She's always more successful with her slow grooves than her fast tracks in my opinion.

I'm also feeling Ayo. I don't know if she's been mentioned in this thread before but she's great. They play her video on BETJ all the time. Her music is kinda of a cross between Corrinne Bailey Rae and Tracey Chapman.

Estelle...anyone checked her out? I saw her new video with Kanye. I'm feeling that song more than her first single (In the states anyway).


Speaking of Kanye, have you all seen his Flashing Lights video? :confused: :o :eek: :whoah nelly:

I love Estelle!!! I have "I Love You" and "OG B***h" on my MP3 player.


The Flashing Lights video gives me a headache. :(

I saw her video and really liked the song. I went to her myspace to check out some more songs. What I heard was okay but the other songs didn't sound like the one with the video (I can't remember the name of the song)

I saw the video yesterday (well, the part that MTV showed--what's up with them playing pieces of a video?). It looked a little creepy and that chick's walk is hella nasty looking.

I may have said it before, but I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!

I like Estelle, based on the track with Kanye... heard it once so I need to check her out. Ayo is not a new name, but I have yet to listen to her work.

Has anyone heard of Lemar? :o I think that's his name. He's a new-ish UK soul singer. I heart him! :D

I want yall to check out Yolanda Johnson. Here's a link: http://www.zshare.net/download/86462569b231e9/

This song is called Get 2 Know u

Just finished listening to the new Gnarls Barkley...I like it, but "St. Elsewhere" is much better. You'll have to listen to it at least more than once to really get into it.

Does anybody have Day 26's CD?

^^
Ditto on Gnarls Barkley. It was aight.

<---Yolanda Johnson's CDs on Rhapsody.

I listened to the album on my phone and in a minute...about to go get it:D.

Ayo's song is nice, but I cant think of the name of it to save my life. :(

Down On My Knees

Okay...I have it...and after I got thru the first song which I very much so dislike...I started to enjoy the cd. I think it will take a few more time listening to it but for right now...its alright...they are probably the best group to come from MTB...

Bad Boy Baby!
 

Day 26 is a must have! They took R&B back to what it was when I grew up. I love the album.

I recently bought Day 26, both Van Hunt albums, and Sara Bareilles's new album, Little Voice. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sara. She sings in the living room in that Rhapsody commercial. Her voice is great. :) I downloaded Van Hunt in college, but needed to put his work on my ipod. I have yet to listen to Van Hunt's second album or Day 26.

^^^I have Van Hunt's 2nd CD, wasn't too crazy about it. Day 26 is pretty nice, though.

I picked up Leona Lewis this morning; good debut, but it's so Mariah-esque. It's very reminiscent of Mariah's debut CD.

I listened to Leona Lewis on AOL. I thought the same thing about the Mariah comparision. Honestly, I hope Mariah's new one doesn't contain a bunch of tracks like "Touch My Body." I HATE that song.

Have yall heard of Estelle? She's from London and has this singing/rapping thing going on. Very reminiscent of L-Boogie.

I really like the song "American Boy" with Kanye, "Wait a Minute (Just a Touch)" and "You Are" with John Legend.

Estelle
 

LOL

Scroll up. We talked about her!

:o:o:o

my bad...

I don't know if we've brought this artist' name up, but J. Holiday's cd is FIYAH! It reminds me of old skool David Hollister.

Just listened to Raheem DeVaughn's 2nd CD this week...why didn't I listen to this sooner? This CD is HOT!!! I might have to go get the first one now! :)

IMO, I LOVE the 1st CD moreso than the latest project. If you like #2, you should LOVE his debut release.


Mariah comes out tomorrow...FYI!
