Artist Spotlight: Kae Sun

-
Ghanaian musician Kae Sun is proud to announce the worldwide digital release of his stunning debut full-length album, Lion On A Leash on November 9th. Lion On A Leash was previously released exclusively in Canada on URBNET Records (Moka Only, D-Sisive, DL Incognito).

Hailed by the National Post as “a powerful, free-flowing party with a message”, Lion On A Leash effortlessly captures the attention of both Canadian and American music listeners, paving the way for his international crossover. As a teaser to the album, Kae Sun will release his timely and unique interpretation of Bob Marley’s “Natural Mystic” as a stand alone single on October 12th.

Incorporating elements of neo-soul, traditional folk and reggae roots, Kae Sun has created a distinct, hip-hop inspired sound that has caused leading music journalists to take notice. Influential urban music site Okay Player said that Lion On A Leash is “a definite must hear for heads looking for diversity in their hip hop” while adding that “to put out something this good early in his career speaks to his long term potential.” Chicago Now called him “fresh” and “versatile” and EURWeb said that he “brings a much needed new light to the industry”.

Based in Toronto, ON, Kae Sun has long been active in the Canadian music scene and part of a progressive hip-hop movement that spawned notable emcees such as K’naan, K-OS, Shad, and Drake. His music has received support from CBC Radio across the country as well as Alan Cross’ ExploreMusic website and radio show. Music videos for “Lion On A Leash” and “On The Lookout” have received heavy rotation from MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic, and MuchVibe. Kae Sun is a frequent participant in Canadian music festivals including NxNE, Pop Montreal, Hillside Music Festival, Toronto Jazz Festival and Afrofest. Earlier this year, Kae Sun completed an extensive cross-Canada tour in support of Lion On A Leash and garnered a nomination for “Best Rap Artist” from The Toronto Independent Music Awards.

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....

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...
