noreply@blogger.com (Miss Fancie) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:06:00 +0000

In case you haven't heard, the Jason Wu for Target collection will debut on February 5th! The collection is comprised of 29 pieces and the prices range from $19.99 to $59.99.

Much like my desire when Rodarte tied-up with Target, the Jason Wu for Target collection is on my wish list! The collection features flared dresses, front-flap bags, long-sleeve blouses paired with ribbon collars and full pleated circle skirts with patent leather belts!

Wu's use of stripes and florals plus blacks, creams, patents, nudes, navy paired with red will not bore you at all but instead inspire you to take risks with your own wardrobe!

Some of my fave looks for this collection are only available online so let's just hope this buying experience doesn't turn out like a hot target mess dot com like it was for the Mission collection last year!

Anyways, check out the Look Book via The Huffington Post here!

EVITAN: "P.T.I. (Occupy Wall Street)" - Video

noreply@blogger.com (Miss Fancie) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:14:00 +0000

EVITAN (Native spelled backwards) is rap duo formed by Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest. The group will release their album sometime in 2012, but have already released their first single, "P.T.I. (Occupy Wall Street)". P.T.I. is an acronym for Pardon the Interruption.

This song provides a voice for the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement. "The 99% need to have not just a voice, but voices...we need to have more voices that speak to our plight beyond what is given to us via the media," Dres explained.

They shot the video amongst the OWS protestors to express the passion behind the movement and to reveal the actions and attitudes of the New York Police Department (NYPD) towards the OWS protestors.

This video will make you want to see more from their upcoming project. Click below to watch the "P.T.I. (Occupy Wall Street)" video.

Robin Thicke: Love After War

noreply@blogger.com (Miss Fancie) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:09:00 +0000

Robin Thicke’s ‘Love After War' album will release on December 6th. But let me give a sneak preview/review for you now!

This 20-song album proves that Thicke continues to evolve production and vocal wise. ‘Love After War' is a combination of smooth sexy sounds and solid soul songs. Some of my favorite tracks are "Lovely Lady", Cloud 9", "Never Give Up", "Love After War", "All Tied Up", "Mission" and "Boring".

This album is definitely for the grown and sexy music palette. For example, one of my favorites tracks would be "Lovely Lady" where Thicke introduces a latin jazz/ boss nova rhythm. "Cloud 9" is a smooth jazz/blues combo and the piano chords deliver an easy listening mood.

"Never Give Up" is a soulful song that will leave listeners feeling empowered. While "Love After War" delivers a smooth old-school R&B approach that kind of mirrors the likes of El Debarge. Finally, the bedroom tracks, Thicke is known for making those sexy love songs and "Boring", "Mission" and "All Tied Up" will make you want to reach and touch somebody or something.

'Love After War' is far from a dull album. In fact if you are seeking an album that encompasses an old-school sound with a touch of Motown-inspired production into a sensual soul project then I would pre-order a copy today!

noreply@blogger.com (Miss Fancie) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:52:00 +0000

Amy Winehouse’s ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures' album releases on December 6th. But again, I have the sneak preview/review for you now!

The album is 12 tracks comprised of mix-matched outtakes, covers and demos from her long-time producer Salaam Remi.

Tracklist and individual track reviews:

1. Our Day Will Come (Reggae Version)- This track is like the sequel to “Just Friends” from the 'Back to Back' album- I love it!

2. Between The Cheats- This track showcases that 50‘s-60‘s doo-wop, rhythm and blues flavor that Amy is known for- I love it!

3. Tears Dry Own Their Own- This is the original version of the track and it does not fall short of any note from the 'Back to Back' album version. If you enjoy her sultry jazz rhythms then you will appreciate this version.

4. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow- This track showcases her vintage Motown flavor - I can dig it.

5. Like Smoke feat. NAS- This tracks features rapper NAS and showcases an old school good listening vibe - I can dig it.

6. Valerie (68‘Version)- I love every freaking version of this song and I love this one too- yes!

7. The Girl From Ipanema- Come on now, I love bossa nova music- and you pair that with one of my favorite artists- I am in love. Amy covers Antonio Carlos Jobim's track and of course this is a great track-I LOVE it!

8. Halftime- I appreciate this track for some reason it reminds me of the "Brotha” track.

9. Wake Up Alone- This is the original version of this track and I actually like it better than the 'Back to Back' album version.

10. Bestfriends- Yes this track is the same from the 'Back to Back' album but showcases an upbeat jazzy vibe.

11. Body & Soul feat. Tony Bennett- Love the jazz chords in this track.

12. A Song For You- Although a Leon Russell song, Amy channels Donny Hathaway for her inspiration in this cover and at the end she even speaks shortly about Hathaway.
