Artist Spotlight: Quadron.

Jazzy — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:45:35 +0000

Go ahead and hand me a late pass, but I had never heard of Quadron until I saw them live at the UCLA Jazz Fest last weekend.¬† Even though the singer, Coco, is only 21 she is already a veteran performer, and was literally born to do it. She was a key figure as the front woman in the live band for Boom clap bachelors’ band, and now she is thrilling audiences with Robin and hers own material. Robin Hannibal has a long CV, counting collaborations with Nobody Beats The Beats, Aloe Blacc, Omas Keith from SA-RA, Wally Badarou from talking heads / level 42, Erick Sermon, Plant Life, Yamwho, Buraka Som Sistema and has international super stars, like Pharrell Williams¬† and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), declaring themselves fans of some of his other projects like “Owusu & Hannibal” and “Parallel Dance Ensemble”.

John Mayer is a musical genius.¬† No, I take that back.¬† He is just an all around genius that has been put on this Earth to not only entertain, but to make us feel…and let’s not front, he is excellent eye candy. Check out the vid for his new single, ‘Who Says.’

Naturally 7 – Beat Box Band.

Jazzy — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:57:59 +0000

One-of-a-kind R&B group Naturally 7 beatboxes an orchestra’s worth of instruments to groove through their smooth single, “Fly Baby.”

Etta James Goes Hard.

Jazzy — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:35:23 +0000

She has some resentment [it seems] regarding President Obama inviting Beyonce to sing ‘At Last’ during the Inauguration Ball.

Hope.

Jazzy — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 16:37:16 +0000

If you watch movies or television then I am almost certain you have heard her music, since Hope has been featured in everything from Soul Food , to P.S. I Love You and most recently MTV’s “The City.” However, it isn’t her licensing game that puts her on my radar, rather than her breakthrough self titled album. Drawing inspiration from Sade and a musically inclined family, you can hear her growth in songs. Hope has a way of touching your soul on every track she lays down.

Hope – “Lighthouse”

Single Ladies Cover.

Jazzy — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:28:17 +0000

Check out this interesting folk/acoustic cover of Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’, snagged from FlyStyleLife.

Marsha Ambrosius.

Jazzy — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:55:43 +0000

If the name is not familiar to you, the face might be. As one half of the groundbreaking duo known as Floetry, Marsha has recently released a solo Mixtape produced by Focus. Signed to Aftermath, we look forward to what she has in store for us. Her dymanic voice and features from the likes of Little Brother, Busta and the Game have made this mixtape an overnight success. Check out “Sunshine” feat. Little Brother.

Adele: Remixed.

Jazzy — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 06:47:55 +0000

If you are already listening to Adele, then this track needs no preface. You already know that she’s incredibly talented, soulful and kicking down the door in the US. Hailing from the UK, and barely 20 [I tried to tell you guys about these UK ladies!!] her debut album, 19 has topped the charts and now, been remixed into 1988. With features like Big Pooh and Naledge, this is fast becoming one of my favorite albums. Check out “Melt My Heart to Stone” feat. Big Pooh.

Blasphemy.

Jazzy — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:07:24 +0000

Ms. Jackson if You’re Nasty.

Jazzy — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:45:03 +0000

Well I know Ms. Coco J, and many other Janet fans are glad to know that she came out of the Mommy Closet and finally admitted to being preggo! Lord, please let the baby grow to be more than 3 feet tall.

Sweatin’ Over Nuggets.

Jazzy — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:38:33 +0000

You heard it right folks, in honor of 25 yrs of McNuggets, Keith Sweat has written a song for McDonalds. Wow.

DownTown Idol

Jazzy — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 03:58:05 +0000

I would’ve given him some money too…I can feel his soul. Okay, enough sentiment….something about him strangely reminds me of Lyfe Jennings.

Please Don’t Be Stingy.

Jazzy — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:04:11 +0000

The last line of the Nugget Crooner’s diddy is the best.

India x Musiq.

Jazzy — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:43:22 +0000

I wasn’t too impressed with her first album, but have high aspirations for the upcoming India Arie release, Testimony: Love & Politics. Here is the first single, feat. Musiq, “Chocolate High”
