Well, I have to admit this is my introduction to Leela James’ music, but I must say it’s a good first impression! This soulful duet with Raheem is from her third album “My Soul” which just released May 25th.
A few days ago I premiered this song minus John Legend, so here is a newer version that features him. I like hearing their voices together on the track, they do a nice job on this collab. I’m not sure which version will appear on the album, since there is also a...
Jon B. puts his own spin on the Bob Marley classic in tribute to the legend. I think he did a good job on this one, although of course you can’t even compare it to the original. This was included on the “Light It Up” soundtrack back in 1999.
Interesting choice for a first single off of his upcoming album; it seems he’s going in the same direction he went last album with “Closer.” It has that same upbeat, euro techno flavor to it. Ne-Yo premiered this song on his MySpace last night, and...

Ne-Yo’s new single “Beautiful Monster” will be released June 1st, and the album is coming in September. Honestly, I’ve heard so much music from Ne-Yo since his last album, I have no idea what to expect from him this time around. He could take...
