What Goes Around…/…Comes Around – Justin Timberlake Regardless of what you think of him, there is no denying that Justin Timberlake is one of the most talented performers of the 2000s and is responsible for many hits during that era. He has a really cool voice and has some absolutely killer production on his albums, Read more

Lady – D’Angelo In today’s age, there are a lot of artists, but not a lot of vocalists. My friend made this comment to me at work today, and while there are plenty of new and amazing vocalists out there, in terms of the charts today, I think that is a great hot take. Even Read more

In a previous post, I talked about Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) and how much I enjoy his projects. He has cited Alabama Shakes as an influence before and even covered one of Brittany’s solo songs, “Stay High“. I say all this to point out the similarities (or in this case, influence) between the Shakes’ song Read more

Here We Go Again – Ray Charles Feat. Norah Jones and Billy Preston A country music standard, Ray Charles first made “Here We Go Again” a big R’n’B hit in 1967, which is a killer rendition, but in 2004, the same year he passed away, he re-recorded the song with one of my favorite voices Read more

Don’t Leave Me This Way – Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes Feat. Teddy Pendergrass “Don’t Leave Me This Way” is probably better known as a cover by Thelma Houston or The Communards, who both do a nice job. But my favorite version is the original, written by the renowned duo Gamble and Huff, with Read more

No Ordinary Love – Sade I remember the first time I heard Sade, with my dad showing me a live concert of theirs that he had on DVD. At the time, I think I was around 9 or 10 years old and wasn’t really into it. As I got older, and really began to fall Read more

Can You Do It For Me – Jai’Len Josey I first heard this song in the back of a car with some of my really good friends in college, and I believe we were heading back to Carrollton (where I went to school) from Atlanta via I-20. It was pretty late at night and I Read more

John Redcorn – SiR SiR’s “John Redcorn” is a great R&B/Soul track from his 2019 album Chasing Summer. I believe I found this song by accident while searching for King of The Hill clips on YouTube. The song is named after a character on the aforementioned show which features the character, John Redcorn, who is Read more

Me and Your Mama (Let Me Into Your Heart) – Childish Gambino Today’s song is by one of my favorite creators of art of all time, Donald Glover. His body of work is absolutely incredible. Growing up in Stone Mountain, GA, and starting out as a writer for 30 Rock, he then went on to Read more
