Big K.R.I.T. Has Definitely “Got This” Hip-Hop Thing On Lock

The IPS — Mon, 07 May 2012 18:19:31 +0000

One of my favorite joints from Big K.R.I.T., and it’s also the first single from his upcoming album Live From The Underground, which drops June 5th. “I Got This” was released as a free download back in March, and I extolled its virtues on Twitter at the time, and wore it out. K.R.I.T. reminds me of an [...] Related posts:

Coverage: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Have The “Inner City Blues”, Too.

The IPS — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:51:11 +0000

Yooooo, I’ve been a fan of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour for a while. The Danish group is soulful, funky, and I’ve enjoyed their album Fruit for a couple of months now. Despite the fact that it’s been out for a couple of years, LOL. SOMEHOW I missed this cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Inner City Blues” though. For [...] Related posts:

Does Brandy Still Have The Chops To “Put It Down” On The Charts?

The IPS — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:20:14 +0000

Brandy’s first single, street or proper, has dropped from her new upcoming sixth solo album titled Two Eleven. It’s the clubby “Put It Down”, and I’m curious to see what people think. As for me, I’m not entirely sold on it. Vocally, Brandy still sounds fantastic. That voice of hers is still a fine tuned instrument. [...] Related posts:

Did You Know KeKe Wyatt Did A Cover Of “Love Under New Management”? Me Either!

The IPS — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:33:03 +0000

So not only did KeKe Wyatt do a cover of Miki Howard’s seminal jam “Love Under New Management”, but she also put it on her latest album Unbelievable!, which apparently came out last year! I did not know KeKe Wyatt had a new album, and honestly, she sounds great. She’s a bit prone to histrionics vocally [...] Related posts:

Coverage: Dirty Loops Drives Adele Into The “Deep” End Of Churchy Soul With This Remake

The IPS — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 19:37:04 +0000

I’ve heard of Dirty Loops on a couple of occasions and peeped one of their earlier covers of Britney Spears‘ “Circus” when it came out. However, their cover of “Rolling In The Deep” dropped today, and phew, is it a doozy. If you are familiar with Gospel music, then this cover isn’t anything THAT crazy, but [...] Related posts:

What Do We Think: Follow Penguin Prison’s Instructions To The Letter And “Don’t F**K With My Money”

The IPS — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:25:14 +0000

I’m with Penguin Prison. “Don’t F**K With My Money”, indeed! I discovered this track a few months ago and have had it on repeat. Despite more true words never being spoken EVER, the song itself is a catchy, dance-y good time, replete with synths and chunky bass lines. Penguin Prison’s name itself is a bit jarring [...] Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Explore Music: “You Know You Like” AlunaGeorge

The IPS — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:35:13 +0000

AlunaGeorge hit Pitchfork yesterday, and I’ve already digested and figured out that the best song in my opinion thus far that they’ve released is definitely the sultry, slithery funk that is “You Know You Like It”. Aluna Francis’ tentative voice mixed with her Brit accent and light but agile voice are what make this track standout, [...] Related posts:

Album Reviews: Monica’s “New Life” Isn’t Anything We Haven’t Musically Experienced Before

The IPS — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:00:35 +0000

Monica – New Life 2.75 stars out of 5 In the classic plotting of an average pop star’s trajectory, Monica is on a “good” upswing. She’s married, she’s happy, she’s mending relationships (see: duet with Brandy on “It All Belongs To Me”), she’s maturing and she’s finally becoming a woman. The styling, the songs, the placement in [...] Related posts:

Explore Music: Jai Paul’s “Jasmine” Is An Aural Trip Through A Rubberband-Soul Alternative Universe

The IPS — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:01:35 +0000

You’ve probably never heard of Jai Paul. If you’ve heard Beyonce’s “End of Time”, then you’ve heard of Jai Paul. His song “BTSU” was sampled for the intro of that song — specifically the “don’t f**k with me” line. So if you thought you did hear the f-bomb at the beginning of the song — [...] Related posts:

SWV’s “All About You” Is Heavy On Sharing Leads But Light On Catchiness

The IPS — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 21:51:11 +0000

“All About You” is the latest offering from SWV’s upcoming album I Missed Us, which is due out April 17th. “All About You” attempts to channel that 90′s realness that “Co-Sign” seemed to naturally possess. Much to my chagrin, it feels a bit more forced this time around. The song is light on catchiness, heavy on [...] Related posts:
