That CD is beautiful!

That was a great CD!

Remember her first cut, "Baby, Baby Don't Cry"? Love LH! :D

That song was the JAM!!! :D :D

I'll have to go check out her new CD then.

BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I am diggin' Fertile Ground's newest CD, Black Is.

ETA: I don't normally do this, but I have to share with y'all the lyrics to the title track. I love this song. If I still worked at the school, I'd make a lesson plan out of this (journal or essay assignment). There are parts I'm not 100% sure what they say, so I'll put those verses in italics.

Black Is, Fertile Ground

Black boy
Standing for the ghetto
You’re so hardcore
Fist held tight won’t let go
Your legs don’t seem to run
I see you fighting for the sunlight
Cuz it’s yours
When your spirit starts to dream
And you open up your wings
You’ll soar

Black girl
Beauty finest in your bloodline
The world
Wants the gifts you’re born with
The secrets of all the queens
Are wrapped inside
Your precious genes
Stay gold
See no matter where you stop
You’ll somehow make it to the top
Cuz you’re gold

You see
Black is so beautiful
Kissed by the sun
As we dance to the drum
So beautiful
Black is so beautiful
Our spirits
Our hearts
Our style and
Our art
So beautiful

Black man
Ancient spirit of the strong
You stand
Father Creole, sing your song
The strength within your hands
Built pyramids
Like you they stand
Lead on
The protector of the womb
Your light illuminates the moon
Into dawn

Heavenly queen
Nubian goddess
Woman phenomenally
Warrior
Mother
You just protect the sun
Inhale the light
the planets die
You are the night
You rise
the planets only sound
Even when they knock you down
Still you rise

You see
Black is so beautiful
Kissed by the sun
As we dance to the drum
So beautiful
Black is so beautiful
Our spirits
Our hearts
Our style and
Our art
So beautiful

(repeat)

You are, you are so beautiful
We are, we are so beautiful
You are, you are so beautiful
We are, we are so beautiful
Beautiful

It's nice. I like it. $9.99 at Best Buy. And worth every cent!!! I don't know what my favorite track is yet. I'll be back.

Joss Stone's new CD Mind, Body and Soul is good.:D

My man's CD came out on Tues. Dangit...I had no CLUE!! I have to get that and John Legend's (Epitome and one of my friend are >there< with the Legend love) CD this weekend.

Also, My Petition is the bomb!!! Love Jilly!

Ok, I love that video. I saw it on the VH1 Soul Channel...the dancers...sigh. So, early 90's.

I'm not a big JonB fan, but dang, I normally know when people have CD's coming out. I didn't even know he had a single. Do they play it on the radio? I feel so out of touch. First BIIM now JB.

Re: BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I didn't know they had a new cd out. My favorite is Spritual War and my favorite song is "Be Natural"

Have any of you guys heard "Lyfe"'s cd? I LOVE IT.


Donnie Hathaway (my favorite artist of allll time) has a new live cd out. I just found about it and ordered it off Amazon!!

Okay I'm mad at Jon's record label for keeping this CD under wraps!! I haven't heard anything about this but I will be at Best Buy to pick it up.

Re: Re: BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I love that song, too!! I think my favorite is Field Songs and my favorite song is Soul Mates.

Interrogation on Lyfe
 

Ok, I did a search and read the lyrics to some of the songs. I'm diggin' the song My Life. What kind of music is it? Like, if you could compare it to somebody, who would be comparable? R&B or NeoSoul or Jazzy or all of the above? How old is this cat?

I saw it earlier this week and last night on the VH1 Soul Channel
