What Do We Think: Chromeo Seems To Think It’s Better With The Lights Off

Written by The IPS in Videos on Aug 4, 10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDkGFYmVOFM

This video is crazy as hell, but Chromeo is one of my favorite groups. And they’ve taken it even MORE 80′s style with their new song from their upcoming album Business Casual. I’m a sucker for a good 80′s sounding song. What’s even crazier is this video — floating eyeballs, monsters, one-eyed people, hands with eyeballs…are they talking about being blind? Or simply doing it with the lights off? It could go either way, but the effects are cool and the keyboard players lack of expression is always a good time. Check it out and leave your thoughts!

What Do We Think: Sterling Simms Is Missing His “Baby”

Written by The IPS in Videos on Jul 26, 10
Found this today on the internets — songwriter/producer-attempting-to-be-singer/artist Sterling Simms has attempted numerous times seems like to find a song that will launch him as an artist, but really hasn’t had much success, despite a couple of videos being put out previous years on Def Jam.

Well, not sure if his Def Jam deal is still in place or if this is an indie/underground production, but the video for “Baby” has dropped. The song is produced by Oak from what I gather, and it’s pretty nice R&B joint. Sterling does a great vocal towards the end as he gets into it. I could easily see however how this song really could be cut and paste in terms of vocals. Sterling, Mario, Chris Brown, etc. Anyone could be singing this song. The video however stamps Sterling’s face over it. Is it enough to get generate some heat for solo breakout success for Mr. Simms though?

What Do We Think: Lauren Pritchard’s Voice Definitely Doesn’t Have Me Reaching For The “Painkillers”

Written by The IPS in Blogs,Videos on Jul 23, 10
This is dopeness! Her voice has this smoky, earthy quality that gives this song so much depth. I’m not even really sure what this video is about, but honestly, I just keep listening to the song and not even watching it. Someone dies? Asians? Crime scene? Ya’ll tell me today, I got too much going on to process things like this today?

Questlove handles the drums, and Adele/Duffy producer Eg White (get it? LOL) handles production on this soulful slice of bluesy soul meets uptempo rock called “Painkillers”. Lauren Pritchard is a US born but London based actress and singer, who some might recognize from Broadway’s “Spring Awakening”. She has an EP coming out August 9th of the same title, and it’s a prelude to her debut album Wasted in Jackson which comes out later this year. I’m interested in seeing what she comes up with.

You can check out her myspace or website here if you want more info. So…what do you think?

What Do We Think: “Cat & Mouse” With Nikki & Rich Sounds Like It Might Be A Underground Hit

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Jul 21, 10
So reader Marc sent this over to me, and it’s a clip of new group Nikki & Rich performing their single “Cat & Mouse” on Jay Leno last week. Nikki Leonti (the “Nikki”) used to be a Christian singer I know, but looks like she’s changed up the game for a more secular and soulful/funky style. Her and partner/love interest Rich Skillz describe their sound as “Lauryn Hill meets The Supremes while hanging out with Alicia Keys listening to Outkast “Hey Yah”. I can dig it! They are signed to Reprise Records through Warner and it looks like their music has gotten a lot of attention through TV licensing and usage.

You can get more info on them or see more vids at their official site AKA their Myspace. What do you think?

Hugo Has 99 Problems, 100 If You Count That He Looks Like A Murderer…

Written by The IPS in Videos on Jul 15, 10
Hugo was one of the first artists signed to Jay-Z’s RocNation label I think — it’s been a while. Well, his first single is here, and he is paying homage to his boss with a blues-rock cover of his song “99 Problems”. Now, as one that totally loves new reinterpretations of songs, I kind of love this! The video is a little scary (and I’mma just be messy and say ILLUMINATI!) with the “Hostel” look it has going on and close ups on lizard eyes, but I just closed my eyes and listened to the song. Dopeness.

Dude is British born, but was raised in Thailand and somehow ended up on RocNation? I know Memphis Bleek is mad — he still ain’t had another album! His album is named Old Tyme Religion and it is coming soon. What do you think of this?

“I Don’t Believe” That I’m Just Hearing About Rox!

Written by The IPS in Videos on Jun 28, 10
Rox is UK based singer that has been pegged as the next to blow, with her soulful sound and voice. She has a powerful alto which has hints of Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill yet with her own stamp. She’s worked with a host of American producers in addition to their UK counterparts and her debut album Memoirs dropped June 7th.

Check out this video which features the various iterations of Rox. I like it! What ya’ll think?

What Do We Think: Mark Ronson Makes It Go “Bang Bang Bang” In His New Video

Written by The IPS in Videos on Jun 14, 10
Whoa, I had no idea Mark Ronson was putting out new music soon. His new album Record Collection is dropping soon, and “Bang Bang Bang” featuring Q-Tip and MNDR (aka Amanda Warner) is the first offering for it. I’ve heard a few MNDR songs randomly — she terms herself “Kraut Rock” which the name alone is hilarious to me, but I kind of like her music. Didn’t know Mark was working with Q-Tip though either! I like this collaboration.

This video is a little bit French, a little bit Japanese, a little bit “Tron” and Transformers, and a whole lot of goodness. It resembles a French or Japanese (or both) chat show, on which Mark is apparently performing. He taps his watch, and out comes his costume, stage-setup, and “projections” of his guest artists. Everyone dances, counts in French, then it’s over. There are some other random clips thrown in for good measure and effect, too.

It’s all very futuristic yet retro at the same time. Love it. If you don’t know, Mark Ronson is the producer behind Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen and a host of others’ biggest hits. Great music — look up his old projects. What do ya think?

Jaiden – “The One” Feat. Yummy Bingham [Download]

Man, I’ve been following Jaiden on Twitter for a couple of weeks. Recommended to me by a friend, heard he had chops.

Does he ever! Ya’ll know I love some GOOD sanging right?! He does it. In droves LOL.

After watching THIS video of him singing “Just Friends” (see below) over and over, then I was hit with the first release off of his The Cure Suite II: “The Lost Songs” project, “The One” which features little known but industry vet Yummy Bingham in duet mode. I used to love music with Tha Rayne and “Come Get It” with Jadakiss.

Let me tell you, these two do their GOOD singing. And if this is any indication of the music that will come from Jaiden, sign me UP, cause I am a fan. His Gospel-influenced yet versatile vocal is what I need right now. What ya’ll think? Follow Jaiden “The Cure” on Twitter and let him know Tha Feedback sent you!

What Do We Think About Bryan J’s “Let Me Take You Out”?

Written by The IPS in Blogs on May 24, 10
OK, I know, before you judge me, I listened to this song when it hit my inbox and wasn’t interested, but then this viral video they shot for the song made its way to my desk and I checked it out.

Bryan J has a nice voice — he reminds me of Trey Songz without the excessive vibrato/warble (especially at a couple points during this song). He is produced by and signed to Tricky Stewart’s RedZone Entertainment label, and so he has all that power behind him. He’s young and this song features Travis Porter (umm, sidenote — they are a GROUP?! Late.com, I thought it was one person LOL), so they got that young factor going for them.

This song is like cotton candy though — the law of diminishing returns applies LOL. The more you have/hear it, the less you want!

They are gonna make this dude super poppy w/o dripping sex like Trey does but more fun and wholesome, watch (wholesome relative to try of course)! Check out his Myspace for some more music. I hope his album doesn’t all sound the same…

What Do We Think About Jon Hope’s “Better”?

Written by The IPS in Blogs on May 17, 10
This came across my email and I thought it was really decent. The song “Better” is challenging hip-hop and us to be better, and uses the images of the people of the African country Malawi to illustrate that through some great camerawork. I think the director, Walu, actually was in Malawi (not sure if it was just for the video) and Jon Hope stayed Stateside and added his part later.

This joint all around is dope and Mr. Hope has some great thoughts that he puts into clever lines and it connected with me. I’m curious to know what ya’ll think. I like the theme of “anti-flossing” as he calls it.

Jon Hope is an up and coming MC who’s had some Internet buzz. You can check out his Myspace page to hear some other music!
