Sade Matures & Yet Retains Their Signature Sound On Their Latest Project

Written by The IPS in New Music & Reviews on Feb 9, 10
Sade – Soldier of Love
4.5 stars out of 5

Sade, which is short for they-who-take-their-sweet-time, has finally blessed us with a new album, Soldier of Love. The band, which is fronted by the picturesque vocalist Sade Adu, releases their 6^th album a full 10 years after their last international smash Lover’s Rock. Sade takes a more uptempo, rhythmic and fast paced (for them) approach to the views of love and the constant struggle and pull that are the emotions and feelings in any relationship, laying bare thoughts and observations over an occiasional uptempo and midtempo musical backdrop. True fans will not be disappointed, and new fans will like what they hear.

Superbowl Performances: America Ain’t Beautiful & Glad We Can Only SEE The Star-Spangled Banner

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 8, 10
Queen Latifah……..

I love the Queen, lawd KNOWS I do. I own like, all her jazz singing albums even just on GP. But this performance right here? Sweet Minty Jesus will not let this pass because Queen Latifah doesn’t have enough squall or church or power in her voice to pull THAT one off. That required a Fantasia blessing. A kick off your shoes and run around the end zone type anointing! Queen Latifah tried, but around the 1:40-ish mark I had to log off eternity and page Michael the Archangel to bring that note back to where it was supposed to be.

That CHOIR outsung the mess out of her. Not in terms of people, I mean in terms of precision. Why the backup always better than the star!? LOL. God bless her Maybelline ministry. She must have been singing about the America that is tainted w/ racism and doesn’t recycle their trash because that was ugly at points!

Carrie Underwood is usually a FANTASIC singer — that being said and acknowledged, this performance was borderline terrible. She had a strong vocal throughout, but unfortunately, that strength continued as continually slid down pitches as she sung. I mean, it culminated with that last and final note that I’m sure had everyone scratching their heads like “Did she just swallow a firecracker?”

Props to her (and Queen) for singing live, but still, come on. It was like a long walk off a short pier and that final note was the unexpected drop ROFL. I love Carrie though, but she is gonna go home and watch that on the TV and hide under her covers for a day or two. Maybe she is the one that jinxed Peyton Manning, and Queen Latifah’s faux church blessed the Saints! “WHODAT!”

Jaheim Is Determined Not To Leave “Without You”

Written by The IPS in Videos on Feb 8, 10
You know what this reminds me of? That Angie Stone song “I Ain’t Feeling You” — because it has like this looped soul sample that just sounds kind of cheap even though the voice over it isn’t THAT bad. It just FEELS sub-par production wise, if that makes sense.

Jaheim — as smooth as his voice is sometimes, and as decent of R&B songs that he turns out on occasion, his personality is like a puppet with no hand in it. Or should I say a muppet? LOL cause I remember my friends used to say he looked like a Muppet. AND I’m sorry, he doesn’t deliver live, and that’s all I can think about when I see/hear his music. I can’t WAIT for him to go on the Mo’Nique show….cause I don’t see him on Letterman, LOL, but I may be wrong.

The video itself is about as boring as the song tends to be, though the addition of Jadakiss livens it up a bit. It’s essentially Jaheim looking awkward with a couple of video girls.

His album Another Round comes out tomorrow, February 9th.

Fat Joe – “Haha (Slow Down)” Feat. Young Jeezy [Download]

Fat Joe’s last album “J.O.S.E. 2″ was largely ignored I feel like by a lot of fans, industry heads and press — I can’t even remember a song/single from that joint, though I listen to so much music, it’s ridiculous. However, this new leaked joint from his next album on deck The Darkside (which has no release date from what I can see) is actually kind of thumping. Joe gets more acerbic and witty than I’ve heard him in a long time. The track is sparse and harkens back to that old rap boom-bap, kinda like 50 Cent’s “I Get Money” but better. Even Jeezy fits well into this musical landscape. Thoughts?

Erykah Badu – “Window Seat” [Download]

I had typed up this nice lil blurb about how I like this song a lot then Erykah Badu TWEETED me last night, so I’m just going to insert that here and keep it moving ROFL! I will say that she leaked this song herself via Twitter. Erykah is letting us know who is in control of her musical destiny — her!

Asia Bryant – “Can’t Help It” [Download] [Twitter]

Heard about this song via Twitter this morning and was instantly impressed! Ms. Bryant has a light, airy pop voice but you can tell that underneath lies some R&B/soul grit and depth. This song sounds like Vanessa Carlton meets Ne-Yo meets a whole new sound actually. This joint is prime for crossover though, and the lyrics are pretty dang good. I look forward to hearing more from this singer/songwriter out of at Atlanta who is persevering through the ups and downs of the music industry. Check out her Twitter and get the official download from her website, trust me.

Classic Flashback: Diana Ross – “Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)”

Written by The IPS in Blogs, Videos on Feb 8, 10
Does some of this imagery look familiar to you? Well, remember in “Dreamgirls” when Jamie Foxx was making Beyonce’ all pretty and dressing her up and taking all them photos of her? Yeah, that was patterned after Diana Ross’ starring role in “Mahogany”, which was generally received poorly when it was released in 1975. But the theme song “Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)” was nominated for an Academy Award and was a #1 hit for Diana Ross.

It’s one of my favorite Diana Ross songs and I just been in a Diana mood lately — out of nowhere. She may not be THE BEST singer EVER, but Diana could work a song. And she was the classiest diva that Motown had and where would we be without her influence and support of The Jackson 5 and little Michael Jackson?

Get into this classic joint. And if you’ve never seen “Mahogany” with Billy Dee Williams, I suggest you go get it. Watch that and “The Wiz” ROFL! I’m not even joking!

What Do We Think About Ashlyne Huff’s “Heart of Gold”?

Written by YTMatt in Blogs on Feb 7, 10
I’m torn. In Ashlyne Huff’s debut single “Heart of Gold”, there are some real hits, but many misses, and I’m left wondering whether or not I like it. I just can’t decide.

For some reason, they’ve decided to take this singer-songwriter and turn her into a pop star, rather than toning it down a few notches and keeping her to her roots as a more typical singer-songwriter. I think due to her image, positioning, and such, she ends up coming off as a pop star wannabe, which is a shame because there’s a lot of talent there.

Why did they focus so much on the smoke-and-mirrors than the artistry?

Coverage: Ahmir & David Sides Make “The Climb”

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 5, 10
I have been saying that he song “The Climb” sung by Miley Cyrus is an amazing song but that it just needed a better singer.

Well, look what the Internet has provided!

I may be late with this one, but these Ahmir dudes sang. The piano player David Sides also added another depth to the song. I love this song even more now. I’d also like to maybe her Pink or Sade do this song in their own trademark vocals and production styles — I think that would be SO dope. Maybe even Take 6 or Boyz II Men.

So enjoy the vocals and let the sentiment behind the song sink in even more since you can enjoy it without Miley’s trademark snarling nasal vocals. Nothing wrong if you like her, I’m just saying!

Classic Flashback: Cam’ron – “Horse & Carriage” Feat. Ma$e

Written by The IPS in Blogs, Videos on Feb 5, 10
Okay, come on, don’t act like you didn’t like but couldn’t understand WHY you liked this song back in the day. Cam’ron randomly came out of nowhere with this song, and there were lines that we quoted for days. And Ma$e’s off-key singing ALONE was enough to always give me a good laugh.

This video randomly had EVERYONE in it too. Before Cam’ron wore pink and purple and had to deal with Jim Jones’ unwashed scent LOL.

This song still goes hard though — this was back when the Trackmasters were hot and that’s who you went to when you needed a radio track from back in the 90’s LOL. I felt like they did that Nas/Ginuwine song “You Owe Me” and everyone stopped messing with them — is it just me? Let ME know!

What Do We Think About Matt Morris’ “Love”?

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 5, 10
I tivoed this episode of George Lopez’s show tonight because I’d seen that Matt Morris was performing. I’d heard about him a couple of months before his now infamous performance with Justin Timberlake on the Haiti marathon on the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah”, and hadn’t had the chance to properly acquaint myself with his music.

Ever since then though, his star has shot to fame. Some people were saying that Justin shouldn’t have used that platform to launch Matt (who is his new artist and is signed to his Tennman Tunes label along with Esmee Denters), but why not? Dude has an amazing voice! Haiti benefited from that duet surely because people have been talking about it ever since!

Anyway, this performance was pretty darn good! I mean, he sounds great! If anything, I think his nerves showed through at times, but I can only imagine what this sounds like in a more controlled environment. Him in an intimate venue with a crazy band is probably the hottest ticket around right now. His voice just leaped and whizzed around these notes, it was pretty fly for a white guy. For real! The tone of his voice seems pretty effortless.

What ya’ll think? Bandwagon jumper or not, I’m pretty sold.
