Ahhhh…. Prince…. How I listen to thee, through the years and decades and never tire of thee. Big Sigh. I really can’t think of another artist whose music gets as much excitement after the one-thousandth play as it did the first. You might tout, “What about Michael?” but if I hear “Don’t Stop Til You [...]
First, off: Happy MLK everyone! So, yes Nick Jonas. Before I get into why he deserves your time, let me show you which friend of John Mayer I’m talking about. (This is from Smith’s Olde Bar last December 23rd) David Ryan Harris Ridiculous guitar playing with sweet melodies capable of melting your heart. That’s him. [...]
Hey, effers and welcome to the first installment of the Triple M for 2010. I hope you all had a great holiday season and you’re ready for some great music in the coming year. Twenty ten is going to be the year of EFF&Music, and I’m glad you could all be here on the ground [...]
1. Brian McKnight Evolution of a Man B Good ol’ fashioned R&B is what Brian McKnight continue to deliver. The beats are somewhat updated, but the topics, vocals, and overall vibe are pretty much business as usual. I don’t have a problem with it, because I like to slow things down and mellow once and [...]
1. Rihanna Rated R B Rihanna has definitely decided to go with a more edgy approach to this one. It’s her first Parental Advisory album and the pics are racy with the back of the CD showing her scantily clad with a cigarette in her hand. Hey, I’m just happy she’s not giving us more [...]
Yes, I know “Concert of the Year” is a pretty big statement. I absolutely mean it. Many great shows have come through Atlanta this year. But, you have to have the formula of great music + energetic performance + smaller venue to get the title. Kings of Leon sounded amazing but lacked that I’m-so-into-this-I’m-going-to-dance-around-like-a-mad-person quality. [...]
Lenny Kravitz is playing the Tabernacle this Wednesday (Nov 4) after being pushed back a week. This is going to be a great show! I’ve never personally seen Kravitz live, but have seen plenty of live performances through our wonderful technologies like t.v. and the internet. My father saw him with P!nk as the opener [...]
Mario released his fourth studio album, D.N.A., on October 13th. It was promised to be a mix of old-school R&B and dance pop (wiki fact). Mario also claimed the record (previously known as And Then There Was Me) would be the most personal album of his career. One thing is certain: the boy can SANG! [...]
Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel -Mariah Carey Mariah Carey’s twelfth studio album was released September 29th. That’s quite a number… I first need to recognize just how damn good she looks on the cover! Her body is absolutely amazing, and she’s stunningly beautiful as usual. You go girl! Now for the music. ZZZzzzz, oh sorry [...]
Hey all! Sorry this post is a little delayed, but it was a rough weekend! Don’t ask. Just know my right cheek and arm are still hurting me… Anyway, it’s here now, and hopefully you will forgive me! First off, what the eff is going on with this weather? Um, enough is enough with [...]
