    • Big K.R.I.T. Has Definitely “Got This” Hip-Hop Thing On Lock

      Written by The IPS in Videos on May 7, 12

      One of my favorite joints from Big K.R.I.T., and it’s also the first single from his upcoming album Live From The Underground, which drops June 5th. “I Got This” was released as a free download back in March, and I extolled its virtues on Twitter at the time, and wore it out.

      K.R.I.T. reminds me of an up-and-coming early version of David Banner, as he both writes and produces his own music and also for others as well. Both hail from Mississippi, and both seem to be more cognizant of the social implications of hip-hop.

      “I Got This” has a refrain that is left off the clean version in the video above, but really gives the song its “oomph” in my opinion, LOL. The video features a characteristically old-school feel about the visual treatment, and it matches the Dirty South origins of the rapper himself. There’s some significance to the numbers that keep popping up on the screen as well — can you figure it out?

      I like K.R.I.T. (which stands for King Remembered In Time), and I’m all for folks who not only rap but created their own soundscapes as well. I’m excited about his album, and am definitely looking forward to it.

      Explore Music: “You Know You Like” AlunaGeorge

      Written by The IPS in Blogs on Apr 24, 12

      AlunaGeorge hit Pitchfork yesterday, and I’ve already digested and figured out that the best song in my opinion thus far that they’ve released is definitely the sultry, slithery funk that is “You Know You Like It”.

      Aluna Francis’ tentative voice mixed with her Brit accent and light but agile voice are what make this track standout, and George Reid’s track channels the funk of yore mixed with an airy, electronic and sub-bass heavy sound that writhes up and down your spine.

      AlunaGeorge got their start randomly making music, and they have a new EP hitting shelves as well. This video though reminds me of Kimbra (especially in the above video) meets Beverley Knight. And Robyn. And they had a electro R&B baby. They got their start off as friends making music for fun on their MacBook, only to realize that they’re actually kind of good at it. Rags to riches!

      What do you all think of AlunaGeorge? Check out their latest song “Just A Touch” from their EP of the same name as the video above, due out today, below:

      Tank Thinks He’s “Underrated”, And I Think This Video Is Underwhelming…

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 29, 12

      So…Tank made a video.

      Excuse me, Tank’s LABEL paid for a video, for a song he wrote, and got paid to write, about how much of a star he is but no one knows it?

      Tank’s so “underrated”, unrecognized, unloved, etc. But this video/song isn’t simply about him being a greater talent. It’s about him wanting more “stuff”. Cars, money, etc.

      This makes me angry. Mostly because Tank sounds fantastic (as usual) but it’s this kind of faux lament and cockiness that turns me off to his music.

      I’m going to wager that for the most part, Tank isn’t a bigger “star” because despite his penchant for excellent vocals, his material that he puts out for himself is usually cliched and mediocre — though he sings it well.

      What do y’all think about this video? Maybe I’m off base but I’m very turned off by this…

      Toni Braxton’s “I Heart You” Video Is Useless Fun For The Whole Family

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 29, 12

      Y’all know I love me some Toni Braxton, fair warning.

      Toni Braxton’s newest single and her much heralded “return” (this time as an independent artist taking the reins for herself) is the dance-floor targeted “I Heart You”. Personally, it’s superfluous pop, and is nothing to write home about, though with a few repeats, it’s enjoyable on some levels. I like it because allegedly Toni wrote and produced it herself, and she sounds great over it. Toni can sing over anything.

      That being said, I liked this song better when it was “Make My Heart” from her Pulse album. That song was a knock to me. The video for “I Heart You” is just as superfluous as the song. It’s a lot of random dancing, some tepid choreography, Toni looking great and vamping about…nothing too special or unexpected. Toni even tries to bust out some choreography, LOL.

      The only qualm I have is the long to short hair don’t care that is going on in this joint. LOL. She looks like a whole different person! What is that about?! Choose one for this 3 minute video, please LOL.

      This song doesn’t really seem to be energizing folks that much, but it is available on iTunes in the “full” version, which is different from the free version she first released. Will you buy?

      Elle Varner Can’t Get Enough Of New Found Love At First Sight In “Refill”

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 28, 12

      Elle Varner’s smoky contralto has really been growing on me, and even with this latest single “Refill”, it took me a couple of spins to really get into it and appreciate it.

      I love what I am assuming is a banjo on the track, as that is definitely different. Also really love this video — it’s appropriate, cute, has a great story, and is shot really well. Elle’s voice takes center stage, and the video does well to tie the storyline of the song into the storyline of the video. I even would go so far to say that I love how the “country” sounding banjo plays into the fact that at the very beginning of the video, they are from a small town, cheering on to victory in the big city.

      Elle Varner’s “Only Wanna Give It To U” came and went for me, but I think “Refill” has a bit more “meat on its bones” so to speak, and will get more replay value from me and my iTunes collection. What do you think of this song and video?

      Ring The Alarms, Sirens And Take Shelter From Dawn Richard’s “Bombs”

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 27, 12

      Dawn Richard.

      I’m so glad you’ve gotten your independence from Diddy. That was a SMART move. The music you are handing out these days is really quite good, and I’ve been genuinely impressed with about 95% of the material that has come from your pen and voice.

      Seriously, this visual for “Bombs” is crazy! It feels TOP notch. The production, the choreography, everything. I love this joint, and I’ve watched it 3 times. Dawn looks great (but I’ve always said she is fahn), and these backup dancers?!

      Dawn’s EP Armor On dropped on iTunes and is available for purchase. I’m going to try and crank out a review here soon, but cop it. Dawn’s one the only artists in this day and age whose stuff I cop sight unseen. She has a certain quality and level of talent and professionalism that has never left me disappointed. This EP features 10 songs and is sure to whet your appetite for what R&B has been missing.

      “Nobody’s Perfect” But J. Cole Has Missy Elliott & That Is Pretty Close

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 14, 12

      If you’ve been a reader of this blog, then you know that I am one of the biggest Missy Elliott fan ever. Her talent, creativity, catalogue and more have made me a fan for a long time. I won’t steal J. Cole’s shine by giving it all to Missy, but it’s rare that we get a Missy sighting. Props to J. Cole!

      J. Cole’s album hasn’t gotten much burn with me, but this song? One of my favorites. Listened to it all the time! I didn’t even know that they were doing a video for it. And I have no complaints about this video. It has Missy. It has Cole World. I love all the small details that director Colin Tilley put into this visual as well. Hats off.

      But Missy — Missy is still keeping it classy. And I’d really like for her to do a full R&B album now. RIGHT NOW. Minaj who?

      Does Usher’s “Climax” Video Get You Anywhere Near Yours?

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 12, 12

      This new Usher video leaves me nonplussed. I’m really not invested in this song visually, though honestly, I’ve got to say that I immediately was not interested from jump.

      That’s not to say I have a problem with the song though.

      Usher looks and sounds great, is aging well, but that’s about all I can say. I’m not his market though, so y’all tell me if it moved you to the point where you wanted to run that back. He said the track isn’t about sex, and this video casts him as a spurned lover. But the narrative is a bit unclear at times, and I think he has tried to defocus the sexual undertones so much in this visual that you watch it and are like, “OK, so…what next?”

      Thoughts?

      Umpteen Years Later, Brandy And Monica Are Still Fighting Over A Man.

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 5, 12

      We don’t learn lessons? We don’t grow as people and women?

      I’m glad Monica and Brandy are back together on a duet. I’m glad that both of their voices sound up to par. I’m even glad Monica steals the shine vocally a bit on this track, despite my initial inclination towards Brandy’s voice. The video showed me that Monica really DID put in work — and Brandy’s vocal came off as a little bit safer.

      That being said, I still don’t care for this song, the subject matter, the trite lyrics, this boring video, and the lackadaisical “tribute” to Whitney Houston at the end (the car blowing up was of course a tribute to “Waiting To Exhale” no doubt) all do nothing for me. I want to love this song. I do. But I can’t. It’s so safe! And I wanted more from them besides 4 minutes of glamour shots and old rehashed story lines being passed off as a sequel. I needed more.

      Quit tricking off on these dudes. *shrugs*

      I’m split. What do y’all think?

      Since I Am “A Man” & Think Like One, I Think J. Hud Doesn’t Need Ne-Yo For “Think Like A Man”

      Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 2, 12

      The only thing I’m thinking about, and thinking hard at that, is if I can get with this song.

      Now, I’m going to backpedal and give J. Hud credit for her last self-titled album. In hindsight, that album grew on me majorly once I adjusted to the fact that Jennifer is just a belter. Period. She will never really NOT be a belter. The songs grew, the production made headway into my heart, and “No One Gonna Love You” become my repeated jam on many occasions. Despite the bad grammar in many of the songs and titles, I ended up enjoying 3/4′s of that album.

      “Think Like A Man” suffers one minor pitfall — Ne-Yo. Why & how Ne-Yo weasels his way onto duets with all these great singers (relative to him, of course) baffles me. But this song is just fluffy and asinine enough to not even really matter. The movie that it is taken from is seemingly trying to bring the blockbuster soundtrack back like in the 90′s. Rick Ross is always meh to me. Unneeded and clearly there for perceived appeal. Give me a version without him and without Ne-Yo, and I’m good I think. Kevin Hart’s comedic appeal is always fine with me at this point as well.

      So — Who’s going to see the movie? Who likes this song? Who cannot stand Steve Harvey? Just wondering. Spill it!
