Artist Spotlight: Syleena Johnson

-
Chicago native, Syleena Johnson burst onto the scene with her Angela Winbush inspired vocals and a honesty rarely heard in R&B today. Putting the "blues" back in R&B, Syleena detailed the trials and tribulations of failed relationships, abuse, and rejection. This severely underrated star was signed to the Jive Records label before landing on Federal/Universal Records. On Federal Records, Syleena released her newest album, "Chapter 4: Labor Pains". The album picks up where her predecessors left off(chapters 1 - 3). Throughout the years Syleena has worked with some of the biggest stars in the industry including R. Kelly, Fabolous, Kanye West, and more. So why is Syleena not a bigger star? Blame her former label Jive Records for under promoting this star. With a new label and new outlook on life, Syleena Johnson proves time and time again that you can keep on trucking! Below you can check out some of my favorite songs from this sultry songstress!

Syleena's new album, "Chapter 4: Labor Pains" will be in stores January 13 according to Amazon.

I downloaded Chapter 4: Labor Pains on iTunes on the strength that it appears that it's one of the most anticipated albums of 2009.

I kept hearing about it and I see why. The album is HOT. But I think I'm gonna buy a hard copy too. I like liner notes.

And it's nice that Syleena Johnson did this on her own.

Quick's Catch Up Interview

-

He finds Lil' Mama annoying. He wouldn't discuss how he designed his blog's banner. He was afraid I was going to take his idea. Not! He feels that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon marriage is "staged". Guess what? A lot of people do. Who am I talking about? One of my good friends in the blogging community is Quick. I like to refer to him as Quickster. He runs one of the most popular blogs on the net, "Quick's Catch Up". Anyway I interviewed Quick last year and I allowed my readers (and visitors) to get to know him. Now I have taken the liberty of conducting a brand-new interview with Quick. I came up with this idea to basically see what has changed within' a year period from when I originally interviewed Quick. Name:LaBrandon aka Quick Age: 21 Location/Hometown: Gadsden, Alabama (a hour north of Birmingham, AL) Interview Date: 5/30/2008 Lamar: For those that do not know, how did you come up with the name "Quick's Catch Up"? Quick: Well....

Music Feed: Famous Duos

Two heads are always better than one. These famous duos have made their mark in music history. Be it, there timeless love songs or their magical combination, these duos could do no wrong in our eyes. Unfortunately like any group troubled times put a damper on many of the working relationships that existed between these duos. Never forgetting the legacy that exists between these duos their influence and impact on society is examined here. Check it out! Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell This is for serious old school folks only. A lot of new school folks may not know much about this duo. Former labelmates and lovers found success in the early Motown days. Their songs would later become anthems and torch songs. Their time together was short lived after singer Terrell collapsed on stage during a performance. Ain't no mountain high enough! Peaches & Herb Perhaps best known for their hit, "Reunited" and "Shake Ya Groove Thing", Peaches & Herb were smooth as silk...

*UPDATED* Music Feed: Janet Jackson's Most Sexualized Songs: REVISITED

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
