    • El DeBarge Is Back And Still Sounds Better Than…Everyone Else!

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 5, 10


      I’m sorry, EL DEBARGE WENT ALL THE WAY OFF with this live performance of “Time Will Reveal”. I mean, I got goosebumps. I got emotional! After drugs, jail, life and all that, dude STILL sits down at a piano and slays everyone and everything right now. I’m so glad Brian McKnight brought him on his show to sit down and talk about life and his music.

      This performance was flawless!

      And watching this makes it evident to me where the likes of Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake get their falsetto aspirations from.

      I’m sorry I just can’t get enough of this. One of my favorite songs and favorite singers and favorite families. Switch, James, Bobby, Chico, all them. Beasts!

      Brian McKnight also did a really good interview with El too, after the jump.

      Monica Is A Vision of Love In “Everything To Me”

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Feb 23, 10


      OK, Monica, you have UPPED THE ANTE.

      Monica Denise Arnold looks FANTASTIC. I’m so hopeful now that someone at J Records has cast aside this faux-hoodness that she’d been foisting on us via her music with this smart, classy and veteran-looking version of herself that we are getting in this video. I mean, seriously, Monica is stunning in this clip. I fell in love like it was the 90’s all over again. Give me a Right On! poster please!

      The clip features an “Obsessed” theme, starring Monica as the “Beyonce’” character and Chad NFL player Ocho Cinco as her husband/love interest. It’s pretty self-explanatory, but I’m telling you, it goes by so quickly because you are transfixed on Monica the whole time.

      This is a nice move by the label to set her apart from her contemporaries — she’s essentially remaking a classic Deniece Williams song (“Silly”), she’s wearing couture gowns and fashions, she comes off as classy and poised, and the song itself feature great vocals (which are the focal point). Live, she may not be able to pull this off 24/7, but video is a fixed medium that lasts forever.

      I’m giving this an A+.

      New Artist Alert! JerVae Has Caught Us Unawares With “Your Love”

      JerVae – “Your Love” Feat. Ro Tone [Download]

      One of the best artists that you don’t know about yet but will soon is one of my favorite people named JerVae. With a soulful distinctive voice that is able to leap genres in a single bound, this young lady needs to be heard. Her first offering for the masses, the slinky, soulful and honest jawn “Your Love” takes up the slack where many others recently have left off.

      This song has a PJ Morton meets a more refined & melodic Georgia Anne Muldrow vibe. The lyrics are relateable and honest too; heartfelt and simple in their presentation and also having a real innocent and pure vibe.

      Not only is she a character, but her personality matches her music. So ditch the overproduced-yet-undercreative R&B you’ve been listening to and get into this. It sounds like you are watching a movie and watching a scene that tugs at your heart ever so gently because it brings back to mind a familiar situation. Slightly off-beat and kitschy yet musically tasty, I look forward to more music from Jervae in the future.

      Follow Jervae on Twitter and check out her creative vibe and videos on her Youtube channel.

      Robin Thicke Makes House Calls In His New “Sex Therapy” Video

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Nov 17, 09


      Ding ding ding! We have a winner FINALLY.

      I need Trey Songz to take notes artistically, and for The-Dream to take notes vocally. Put a pin in those thoughts, we’ll come back to them.

      Robin Thicke’s Polow Da Don produced “Sex Therapy” single really is the hotness. It all just works. Robin’s use of falsetto lately has been on point, but he mixes it w/ his lower registers and it just gives the song this underlying sexy vibe that makes you really want to find someone to do things with. You can tell he wrote this track from the top to bottom, making sure it all came together just right. No hate here.

      It sounds strangely odd to me — I can’t put my finger on it why. I know Musiq does that a lot though, the mixing of the falsetto/lower registers…maybe that’s why. That’s what The-Dream TRIES to do and fails miserably. Robin is giving an R&B master class right now. The son of Alan Thicke. Who woulda thought.

      But the video is a master class because it’s JUST sexy enough to where there is something left for your imagination (Trey Songz….). But the best part? When he was singing from beneath/between the chick’s legs. Come on…that was hot! Kudos to the director for that shot! It made the whole video. I can’t find who directed it though…

      I’m loving this joint and while the other songs that have leaked haven’t rocked my world, this one has set the bar a little bit higher for truly soulful yet current sounding R&B about to be released. Usher needs to take that “Papers” mess somewhere ELSE. Robin DID this!

      The treatment, the fashions/designs, everything just is perfect and works. Finally. Simple but effective and well executed wins every time.

      How Come No One Told Me About Sasha Allen In “Hair”!?

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Nov 6, 09


      I’m mad at ya’ll — it’s our jobs to keep each other up on new musical dopeness out in this vast country of ours and yet, all ya’ll failed to tell me about this fantastic singer named Sasha Allen!?

      I was watching The CBS Early Show this morning and it featured a performance from the cast of the Broadway revival of Hair, and Ms. Allen was singing the lead on “Aquarius” and I almost knocked over my Kashi cereal. I was into it. The revival of Hair has won a Tony Award, too!

      Her voice is amazing and she was doing some things to me when she was hitting these notes. I’m a fan and I’m going to do my best to get to see Hair. Now that I think about it, Sasha Allen was also in the movie Camp, which I’ve seen.

      This performance is not from The CBS Early Show this morning, but check it out. Is she single?!

      Note: If you’re in NYC and looking for some great Broadway shows to hit up, go visit our man Chester Gregory as James “Thunder” Early in the revival of Dreamgirls! More info here!

      Janelle Monae Makes Me “Smile” With This Performance

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Nov 6, 09


      SoulCultureUK sent over this performance of Ms. Monae’s first ever London appearance in which she stunned the crowd (and me) with her cover of the old song “Smile”, which was recently done by Jermaine Jackson @ Michael Jackson’s funeral service.

      I’m blown away by her poise during this performance though. She came through strong and clear and stripped away all the futuristic yet possibly distracting performance attire and accoutrement to just simply sing, and sing she did.

      It’s nice to be reminded every now and then that your favorite performers are actually vocalists too. Because there is a difference — message!

      Bravo!

      Live Performances: Lalah Hathaway Stuns With “Forever…” on Mo’Nique’s Show

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Oct 16, 09


      Umm, I need this turned into an mp3 immediately!

      Lalah Hathaway is truly one of the amazing voices of our generation, and I’m still salty my audio from her interview was messed up…but she sat down with Mo’Nique for an interview and of course, a performance.

      She came out and absolutely just gave a master class in dynamics, melisma and everything ELSE under the sun. She just WORKS “Forever, For Always, For Love”, wringing all the soul and emotion from every note.

      It takes a great singer to wrest emotions out of each and every note like she does on this performance, and it was truly easy to just get engrossed by this performance. PLEASE go get her some of her music — let’s keep this lady with a job! LOL!

      Oh, a tour with her and Ledisi would just be the bees knees…come onnnnnn!

      Melanie Fiona Wants Your Loose Change In Her “Subway Series”

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Oct 15, 09

      I love when artists do creative things to push their own careers. Email blasts, leaked mp3’s and co-signs can only get you so far. I LOVE that she took to the streets — literally — and is advocating good music and her awesome voice.

      And can I just say that if I had been walking down the street and seen Melanie Fiona singing on a platform I would have LOST.MY.MIND!

      Anyway, she takes to the city streets to recreate some of her songs live and with various forms of instrumentation. On “Sad Songs” she has a steel drum player, Please Don’t Go (Cry Baby) she has some buckets, and on “Bang Bang” she has beatboxing. How can you not love that?

      Check it out, and if you haven’t read our interview yet, make sure you do. The Bridge is finally going to be available via digital download October 20th, BTW.

      New Music: Janelle Monae – “Come Alive (The War of the Roses)”

      Janelle Monae – “Come Alive (The War of the Roses)” [Download/Listen]

      I am loving this song! The vibe is all, rock/soul meets Addams Family/Monster Mash! Tell me I’m lying?!

      Janelle Monae’s music has been a curious favorite of mine. At times I love it, other times I’m a little lackadaisical about it. Her Metropolis project, which was re-released by Diddy when she signed to Bad Boy was an exciting, future-leaning work. Her live performances have been 50/50 to me. Always energetic and spontaneously great, but vocally, not so much.

      However, she’s finally put out some new music, teaming up with Kia for their Kia Soul Collective, which is just a fancy way of them getting exposure for their new Kia Soul car. It’s working.

      The cut goes hard and has typical trademark Janelle rhythms and vocals, with a NASTY rock edge to it though. I’m loving it like McDonald’s though. Shouts to my boy Modi at DCtoBC.com as I spotted this joint at his house first!

      Curious as to how she is going to affected by Diddy’s recent shifting from WEA to Interscope…hope she doesn’t regret that decision she made to sign to Bad Boy…

      Music Video: Whitney Houston – “Million Dollar Bill”

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Sep 16, 09

      FINALLY the video that I personally have been waiting for!

      It took me a minute, but I actually love “Million Dollar Bill”. At first, I wasn’t that impressed with Whitney Houston’s vocals at the beginning of the song…that “ohhh” was killing me. But the beat is just too infectious to ignore, even with its faux-Motown feel.

      Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys arguably turned in one of the best uptempo songs of the album though, staying true to Whitney’s sound yet updating it. “Million Dollar Bill” is an excellent mix of classic Motown sounds with a dash of soul and Whitney’s classic pop-sheen.

      The video is a pretty straightforward performance clip affair, with the focus on Whitney looking great. Her lipsyncing is off at times to me, and of course, the ORIGINAL diva hand is back, tracing them notes LOL.

      I think my favorite thing about this video is all the wigs. It’s like they got Whitney’s wigs from all her different eras and put them all on in this one video. The “My Love Is Your Love” era, “The Bodyguard” era, I could go on.

      But this is actually the most I’ve believed the story that everyone is circulating these days — “Whitney’s back!” Or rather, the Queen has put on all her royal garments, makeup and make-believe to make us believe that she never left.
