At the moment I cannot stop listening to Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter. Positively lovely song!

Hmmph...
 

HC no one has ever told me about Rachelle Ferrell?

Her voice is amazing. Like... for no good reason, she has A-M-A-Z-I-N-G pipes! I listened to a song from a live album last night while riding with friends! I almost cried because her words and that voice were blowing me away. Ideal, MeezDiscreet, RD: how come nobody told me? :mad: And you think you know folks... :p

:D I'm off to buy some of her stuff today! Excited!

RF has ALWAYS been amazing.
Her most commercial release came out in the 90s. I believe it was the self titled CD. The songs that were major RnB hits were: "Welcome to my Life" (that could be the name of the CD), the duet with Will Downing, "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This" and "(With) Open Arms".

Her piano skills are on fire! She's great live!

Can't wait until Essence. It seems like I'll spend more time in the Super Lounge. :o :mad: :rolleyes:

Heads Up
Chrisette Michele will be released tomorrow.
$7.99 @ Best Buy

Sorry, we thought you knew! You're usually the one to put folks up on game though, lol.

The CD that AKA2D mentions is the only one of hers that I ever owned and it was a really wonderful CD!! I liked the same songs, 2D!:cool:

I bet she is!

also google "Rachelle Ferrell on youtube". good stuff.

I just purchased Amy Winehouse and will be listening to it tonight!

She is quite amazing! I had the pleasure of seeing her live and it was just....((speechless))

Like AKA2D said, she has a self-titled release then followed that up with "Individuality (Can I be me?)". She might be touring; check your city for dates. :)

You were right about that Carl Thomas CD! It's great from beginning to end!!!

My fave song on that album is ''Thought You Should Know"

I picked up Chrisette Michele today...beautiful!

There have been some really decent CDs coming out lately!

My favorite Carl Thomas song right now is "Oh No" with Cham.

I got Chrisette Michele today too--it's going to take me a minute. I wasn't instantly captivated.

I like CMs "Your Joy" and the Last song on the CD. Her sound is refreshing if nothing else.

I'm still waiting for CT to arrive. :rolleyes: I do remember hearing it on AOL last and I was really pleased.

I wasn't either, but I think it's because it's not the typical R&B album (read: only one rapper featured (thank goodness)). I have to listen to it again. So far my favorite is "Hero."

Chrisette Michele for President!
I finally listened to her album. I love it.

Does anyone have Donnie's new album? I want to pick it up this weekend. According to his myspace, there is a special version sold at Circuit City which includes bonus tracks. :)

I want to get it this weekend as well. I usually go to CC anyway but this is double incentive.

I didnt listen to Amy Winehouse until Friday night, and I've listened to it every day since..

Me & Mr. Jones
Just Friends
Tears Dry On Their Own

are my favorite tracks.

Who's going to get Ms. Kelly today? I'm still supporting her after that horrible BET performance...i think she was just having a bad night! But glad to hear good reviews about Chrisette Michelle...I have to pick that up as well!

Former Zhane member with new album...

Also, I read recently that the orginal members of Brownstone are reuniting. :D :D

DANG? Who is this? :D She's grown now? GRITS, not Kelly or Chrisette! :p
:D Good to see ya!

ETA: Yay at the 90s peeps coming back! :D

I was wondering what happened to Jean. Renee has a jazz CD coming out soon. I'm glad to see that they're still doing their thing!

I read about Brownstone last week. I CAN'T WAIT!!!:D

Caught her set last night @ Essence. Although she did not perform those songs we've mentioned, SHE.WAS.FIERCE! She and Rashaan Patterson came on stage for each other's sets and showed OUT! :D

Picked up Kelly Rowland's CD today; it's not great, but it's not that bad.

Ain't Chrisette great?:)

Donnie's new album is nice; I might have to go pick up "The Colored Section" since I haven't heard it yet.

I'm listening to Prince's "Planet Earth" on MSN.com. I actually like this CD better than "3121"! I'm picking this up next week!

Prince's PE: Is it that you can only purchase it online? :confused:

Check out these artists:
Frank McComb
Anthony David
Ryan Shaw

yeah baby!!!!! I got to meet him and take a picture with him on Sunday. He was here with Eric Roberson at the Houston Jazz Festival.

I think you can pick it up in stores.

I saw Ryan Shaw on The Early Show a couple weekends ago; he's pretty good. I'll have to look for his CD.

I'm jealous!!

I took a picture with Eric Roberson too!! :D

Zhane?! Are you serious? I was just listening to "Sending My Love."

The new Jill Scott CD is going to be the TRUTH.

http://family.hiddenbeach.com/index....ds&showfile=10

She's lost so much weight and she looks beautiful.

I'm loving Jill's new song, "Hate on Me". Ole girl is spitting the TRUTH!!!

Isn't it though?! I am anticipating the whole CD. "Crown Royal", "My Love" and "Hate on Me" are my favs.

Um. No one has commented on Common's new CD. "Finding Forever" is sooo much better than his last. "I Want You" is my absolute favorite.

You mean that his new CD is better than "Be"? :eek: OMG! I can't wait to get it!!

Yes it is! "Finding Forever" is EXCELLENT!!!

Common and others
 

I hear that Common's new album is hot, so I must download a copy immediately!

I also like Lupe Fiasco, Jaguar Wright, Lenny Kravitz (he's so hot!...I could go on and on.

The last good album I snagged....hmmm...Kem II.

Cheers!

I'd feel better if Zhane was actually reuniting........
