Live Performances: Gregory Porter Sings “Be Good (Lion’s Song)” On A Subway. Enough Said.

Written by The IPS in Videos on May 15, 13

Gregory Porter is one of my favorite voices these days, and his song “Be Good (Lion’s Song)” is such an amazing treat, but mostly, because of his voice. Mr. Porter’s voice is simultaneously commanding and relaxing. He sings with the ease of a jazz vocalist, but his voice has the gravitas of any of the great soul singers.

He’s recently signed with major label Blue Note Records for his 3rd album, and I’m looking forward to more of his music.

Also check out his song “1960 What?” if you like what you hear above!

Imagine Dragons Highlight The Frailty Of Humanity With “Demons”

Written by The IPS in Videos on May 14, 13

If you’ve been living under a rock, then you may have never heard of Imagine Dragons. Their massive hit “Radioactive” still spins in the Top 20 of many radio stations around the nation, but the video for their song “Demons” really struck an emotional cord for me.

The video starts off with what you may think will be just another performance video, but you quickly see that is has a more poignant take on being at a concert. Imagine Dragons illustrates how you never truly know what people are going through in their lives, and how we are all connected by our pasts, secrets, innermost thoughts and life experience on some level. We’re taken through the crowd as we see people’s inner “demons” that they deal with while they are simultaneously at an Imagine Dragons concert for relief, entertainment, and who knows what else.

The lyrics of this song came to life even more for me through the visual proffered up by the band, and in my opinion, that’s what a video should do.

Are you a fan of Imagine Dragons? What do you think of this video?

I’d RSVP For Ciara’s “Body Party” Before I’d Purchase A Concert Ticket…

Written by The IPS in Videos on Apr 23, 13

I’ve always had a perverse fascination with Ciara’s musical discography. I loved “Goodies”, and one of my other favorites from her was “Get Up” from the Step Up soundtrack. Other than that, I tolerated “Work”, but mostly because she was in a Verizon commercial, well, twerking on a countertop. Wasn’t enough to make me switch carriers, but I enjoyed her twerk way more than her treble-clef whisper shenanigans.

Her latest single “Body Party” from her upcoming self-titled album is an ode and throwback to the 90′s, in more ways than one. The song has an interpolation of Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo”, and the prominent scene in which Ciara is stripping for Future (her both on and off screen love) is straight from Jamie Lee Curtis’ star turn in the 90′s movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, “True Lies”:

The song isn’t terrible — I don’t mind the record. And I’m always a fan of Ciara visually. She’s a beautiful woman, and her body and shape have always been the stuff that many a man’s dreams have been made of. Her voice has never been the strongest, but she’s done her best Janet Jackson impersonation for many a year now, and “Body Party” is no exception. There’s no tired back bends this video, but there’s plenty of twerking, gyrating and barely clothed dancing to truly see what kind of party Future is having with Ciara’s body.

The video should have stuck to the “True Lies” theme, because the party scene with the gratuitous placement of some random headphones really seems out of place. However, it gives Ciara a chance to do her best 90′s swag dress and dance, and allows for copious cameos (did y’all see Jazze Pha?! Where has he been?!) and to pay for some of the costs of renting that mansion via the Denon headphones. Twitter was abuzz with both dislike and like of this video, but what do y’all think? I’m torn between loving watching Ciara in a bra and panties and hearing a boring version of “My Boo” without the Miami bass that made it such a good (if not dated) 1-hit wonder…

“How Many Drinks” Will It Take To Get You To Download Miguel’s New Single?

Written by The IPS in Videos on Apr 22, 13

Miguel’s video for “How Many Drinks?” has come to us, and this time, with the addition of Kendrick Lamar.

“How Many Drinks?” was one of my favorites from Miguel’s Kaleidoscope Dream album, so I am glad to see it get the video treatment. The first thought that comes to mind when I see this video? Miguel is Prince meets Ziggy Stardust aka David Bowie with a little bit of urban braggadocio and machismo thrown in for good measure.

That being said, I really liked Kendrick’s verse on this version, and it was nice to see them showing their home city of LA love with their attire.

Not sure this video/single will make Miguel any new fans, but it’s a decent outing from an album that has greatly reached and surpassed many expectations. It’ll be interesting to see what Miguel’s next album will look like. How will he top Kaleidoscope Dream? Has he peaked?

I do have qualms with people calling both Kendrick and Miguel’s albums “classics” — they need to be a bit more time tested (both the albums AND the artists) before we start handing out superlatives such as those.

Charles Bradley’s Soulful Belt And Wail Is “Strictly Reserved For You”

Written by The IPS in Blogs,Videos on Apr 10, 13

Charles Bradley’s story is incredible, but I will leave it to your very capable fingers to Google!

“Strictly Reserved For You” is Bradley’s new single, and being that he’s on Daptone Records, of course his is a classically soul sound, the likes of which we haven’t seen for a while and don’t see these days often anymore. His voice hearkens back to a time when the focus was on the pain and emotion that the soul voice contained. It’s a welcome disruption from the current version of “soul” and R&B which we are served up by Top 40 radio on a daily basis.

Charles Bradley is a seemingly out of place mix of James Brown’s look, an old soul, a hardened life, and yet, an almost pure, youthful vibe as he’s stepping into his own at such a later point in life. He may never sell a million records, but his talent and determination speak for itself. “Strictly Reserved For You” is taken from his latest album Victim Of Love, which is available now. The “Screaming Eagle Of Soul” has earned his moniker no doubt, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts!

Kelly Rowland Likes Her “Kisses Down Low”, Unlike Her Record Sales — Will This Song Help?

Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 15, 13

I love Kelly Rowland. She is an amazingly attractive African-American woman and I wish her the best in all her endeavors.

But this is yet another boring song with another boring video with the same fine as hell Kelly Rowland doing her best to make us buy her records.

As much as I love looking at Kelendria, it takes an act of God for me to be able to sit through an album of hers, and I don’t think that will change with her latest single “Kisses Down Low”.

It’s ok enough. Mike Will Made It is the hot producer right now, but the lyric combined with the simplicity of this track make it utterly go nowhere quick. Kelly’s vocal barely changes through the song, and she doesn’t really have enough presence vocally or visually in this clip to make this interesting enough to watch more than once.

I love you though Kelly! Can I take you on a date? I got your kisses…just don’t sing to me.

Adrian Younge Teams Up With The Delfonics For The Classic-Skewing “Stop And Look (And You Have Found Love)”

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 18, 13

“Stop, and look, and you have found love….”

This refrain is hauntingly catchy, and you will walk away from this video repeating this in your head and mouthing it while you’re just sitting around. I promise.

Adrian Younge is a multi-instrumentalist renaissance man, who wears many hats. After garnering attention as an indie artist, he went on to score the majority of the Black Dynamite movie, and has had his hands in some of everything ever since. He struck upon the idea of doing a collaboration with William Hart of The Delfonics, and this single is a result of that pairing. “Stop And Look (And You Have Found Love)” is a mix of the old and the new, and is an imagining of what a Delfonics record might sound like in 2012.

The song is a testament to the timelessness of Soul music and its figures. William Hart makes an appearance and looks good, and it’s interesting to sing him in the visual amongst a group of hip-hop heads — 90′s hip-heads at that. I like this joint, and I look forward to hearing more of their pairing.

And of course, who didn’t love The Delfonics?

Check out a write up about the process and ideas behind the making of this song here as well.

What Do We Think: Short Stories Drop A Gem “On The Way” To A Growing Partnership

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 18, 13

One of my favorite producers from the UK, Sampha (SBTRKT, Jessie Ware), has partnered with producer Koreless (Jacques Greene) to form the experimental duo Short Stories. They dropped the single “Let It Go” with a B-side song called “On The Way”, and that’s the visual that we are being treated to above.

The video is pretty much a straight-ahead affair, featuring child actors as the younger dopplegangers of Koreless and Sampha, playing instruments and cavorting about in balloons with flying instruments headed towards them as well.

However, it’s not about the visual. It’s really about the vibe of the song. The downtempo electro affair is perfect, and is similar of what the two have done with the others talent that they have worked with. It may not be your cup of tea, but give it a spin. Don’t let the video dissuade you from listening to something new. The UK has been really killing the past few years, and I’m a huge fan of SBTRKT. What do you think?

What Do We Think: Ryan McDermott Wants To Buy Your Ticket To “Paradise”

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Feb 14, 13

I haven’t been able to find much about Ryan McDermott, aside from the fact that he’s a new signing to G.O.O.D. Music and was signed on the spot after a personal audition for Kanye West himself.

What I do know is that I’ve heard about this song for a while and finally tracked down a video for “Paradise”. Mr. McDermott submits his slinky, stacked vocal, futuristic version of Blue Eyed Soul with that the stabs and kicks that the music bed for “Paradise” is. I like this joint. His vocal is singular to me, and stands apart from the heavy feel of the track. The slight nasal and high timbre of his voice is a great counter to the kicks and subsonics that anchor this track.

In the video we see him loving and leaving, leading us to think that “Paradise” is only a one night stand and the morning sex that follows afterwards. It’s a great musical introduction to Ryan’s sound I believe, and I look forward to what he has to offer with the assistance of Mr. West. If this track is any indication of Ryan’s original sound, the two pairing up might produce some interesting R&B for our ears.

What do you think?

Watch As James Blake’s “Retrograde” Is The Soundtrack To Earth’s Destruction

Written by The IPS in Videos on Feb 14, 13

I love James Blake, and man, this new record of his is KILLER aurally. I am THOROUGHLY enjoying it.

I won’t lie and act like I totally understand what is going on in this video — end of the world? Aliens? Biker aliens? — but the visual itself is dark and a bit haunting (and matches the song).

James Blake’s last album was a favorite. Sometimes you have to find the song that fits your mood and that clicks with you at that moment, but with “Retrograde”, I can listen to this anytime. It feels a bit more accessible than the tunes from his last eponymous album. His new body of work Overgrown drops in April, and I’m looking forward to it.

I honestly cannot stop listening to “Retrograde” and I think you won’t be able to either after this first spin. Let me know if I’m wrong.

These darn Brits are taking over!
