Was I here?

Was I here?

Fashionable
httpv://youtu.be/rLLzkLO8Sh4 This song was ALWAYS one of my favorites from the 4 cd. All my friends would skip it and say it was too slow, but it always always, ALWAYS gave me chills. And the video montage did so too. Why is this song so powerful? Aren't we all trying to impact someone's life in some way? Don't we all want to be loved and give love? I saw this and it made me think on something I wanted to blog about before but never did .. and now I can't seem to remember what it was. But now my thoughts spark to how this song makes me question have I made smart choices. Or Sound Choices. It's kind of scary to dive into these decisions and not know if…

I always songs that take you one way on the surface and if you actually listen, they take you somewhere else. I feel where he's coming from on this one. It's an instant classic in my book. Your opinion folks?

Do i?

Lifestyle
Alice Smith's voice is like a glass of lemonade on a warm summer evening. It mellows you out and makes you want to hum along. This was one of my favorite songs off her debut album, For Lovers Dreamers and Me. Love her! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kodtW2-q80 Been feeling this song on repeat for a few days now . Love it?

‘Yeezy’s BACK!!!

Lifestyle
FYI: I adore Kanye West.  808's & Heartbreak no matter what you say is a GREAT album. He is showing some harcore emotions on that LP .. Anywho, 'Ye is back with his new track, 'POWER' .. I dig it .. but why would I not? I don't have a audio player plug-in so you'll have to head over HERE to Nah' Right to check it out... I can't wait  for his new project to come out. I don't like to listen to each track as the 'leak" ..I like to wait for the full experience. I know he would 'Never let me down' lol.. Word on the street is that Kanye & Amber broke up and he paid her some $$$ for her silence (aka a GAG order). Well,…

My first Michael Jackson impersonator show

Lifestyle
I've been AWOL lately because I took a trip to Boca Chica, Dominican Republic  to bask in the glorious sunshine! (I do have to live up to my name!) Anywho, the hotel I stayed at, Hotetur Dominican Bay (review to follow) held nightly shows, my favorite was their Michael Jackson show. They did an AWESOME job. I don't know if they hired people for this, or if these were every day employees, but they got a standing ovation from me. This is why Michael's legacy will not die. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G0MSIHZg6M This was my first time using Window's MovieMaker.. and I was trying to do my best film job on my little Canon digital camera ..Enjoy!

Good day folks. I am the Man in the Moon (no relation). I will be a part-time contributor to Cleo’s cause of bringing sunshine to your everyday. She’s shining some of her light on me, so that I may shine some light on you. . . .cause isn’t that how the moon works anyway? My first post will be about one of my favorite topics: Hip-hop. I love music, but hip-hop speaks to my soul. It’s in my heart. I love H.E.R. She lives in my lap. . . That’s why I get upset when I see talent wasted. Not everyone can rap. It’s a combination being able to say the right thing, the right way, at the right time, to the right rhythm. . . .to the left, to…

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Fashionable
Last week I had the great opportunity to go check out Alice Smith at Highline Ballroom in NYC. I've seen maybe about 3 concerts at Highline and its always a great time, I love it because tickets are almost always under 30 bucks. Anywho, I was GEEKED to see Alice Smith. Never heard of her? You need to. People kept asking me to describe her sound, and I just found the best way to say it was eclectic. It's r&b, bluesy, and jazzy all in one. She weaves many genres. Her voice is so dope to me. She has some range on her. I guess I'd say that if you like Amy Winehouse, you might like her. I dig her 100X more than Amy though, and I love Amy, so…

I’m still in music love w/ Kid Cudi

Lifestyle
FYI, I love Kid Cudi. I blogged about him when I first discovered him. And after a 2nd mixtape and an album I still rock out to him. I decided to re-blog about Cudi after seeing his 2nd video for his single, Pursuit of Happiness. The first video was eh, ok .. but this video is dope. I love the trippiness... Are you yay or nay on it? The original vid: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzU9Qqdqww

Fashion Friday 12.11.09: Melanie Fiona

Fashionable
This video is DOPE! I actually wasn't expecting her to release Monday Morning as a single, but I am enjoying the video. LOVE IT!! My friend had been trying to convince me to listen to her for about a year now, and I kept putting it off, but I really do enjoy her. I hop you enjoy the video too (sans the script about her being in Switzerland) I mean, this girl has REAL talent!! If the media stopped stalking Rihanna's fashion choices they'd be able to notice that. But hey, what do I know!

Love Come Down : Dirty Money

Lifestyle
Totally dig the song, even though I could have lived without Diddy on it. I dig the girls, very Total-esque vibe. I'll definitely listen to the album when it drops, but that's because I like Dawn. She was always my favorite Danity Kane girl, maybe because I felt she really was talented & creative. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkHasQC8OPA

LeToya New Video – Regret

Lifestyle
Oohh!! I found LeToya's new video over on Necole Bitchie, and I love it! I said when I did the review of her album that I liked this song, Regret f. Luda (he who can do no wrong) Cris. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLN4sDVHPeM&feature=player_embedded I think what I like most is that its the same guy from her She Ain't Got video. I enjoy when actors carry over through videos, it kind of makes me think I'm watching their lives actually happen, LOL! No, but seriously, same dude! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUvRKVHJnc8

Music Meltdown! Alicia Keys & Queen Latifah

Lifestyle
I heard Alicia Keys had a new single out, but I don't really listen to the radio or watch music videos on TV often enough, so sorry if I'm late with the new video. I'm not really digging this song, but maybe it will grow on me like No One did! A. Keys is looking gorgeous in the video as usual Queen Latifah has a new video for her song Fast Car of her new album Persona, which I do have. And I love it! I didn't even know it was out until I was browsing Amazon for some new music one day. I didn't do a review, because I didn't know if anyone would be interested, but I just may. I love all the cameos in the video, especially…
