New Music Blog!

Over the past 3 weeks, two albums have been released by two extremely talented crooners.  In 2003, I had the opportunity to travel the world with these guys and it is my honor to see them take the R&B charts by storm. So, its only right that I blog about my famous friends. Ya dig?

Ruben Studdard's "Letters From Birmingham," is the former Idol winners newest work.  This album expresses Studdard's rediscoverd life as a bachelor as he croons out his sentiments relating to his recent divorce.  The album includes writings from my favorite writer, Sir Harold Lily, production from Alabama's own Black Elvis, and a feature from Chrisette Michelle.  You can find it on iTunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/letters-from-birmingham/id503652800

Check out one of my favorite tracks.

This may be his rookie album, but by no means is Lonny Bereal a rookie to the music game.  His name rings around this country with some of the largest superstars in the game.  He has traveled as a background singer with artist such as Kelly Rowland, Tyrese, Jamie Foxx, and many more.  But now he is on his own and The Love Train is definitely on track.  Lonny is one of the most versatile singers I've ever witnessed and this album definitely shows it.  Check it out on iTunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/lonny-bereal/id436374727

Flava of Love featuring Ruben Studdard

It's been a couple of days since I have put up a new blog post, but I wanted yall to miss me. So as you pull yourself out of deprivation here is what I'm blogging on!

So as you may have heard, Ruben Studdard is DIVORCED. As much as I hate it for my homie, ultimately I want for him to be happy. In even better news, the 2003 American Idol winner is in the process of releasing a new album, Letters From Birmingham.

I got the opportunity to listen to the album during the holidays and its gonna be pretty #FYE! My favorite songwriter of all-time, Harold Lily, and a cast of others chipped in to comprise a musical work that gives listeners an inside look at Studdard's life over the past two years. The record is reminiscent of the crooner Marvin Gaye's Here My Dear and/or Vulnerable.

The lead single is entitled June 28th, which tells all the ladies "...if you see me in the streets, don't be scared to speak." That's right, The Velvet Teddy Bear is single and ready to spend that jingle. Or sumn like dat.  If you want me to set up a date for you and Rube send me an email with your best looking picture, the names of your previous 5 boyfriends, and 3 references.

Check out the video shoot to June 28 and his rendition of Bobby Brown's Rock With You.
