Kelly Rowland Live!

Last night I attended a mini Kelly Rowland concert in Tribeca. The hour long set consisted of some of Kelly's best hits. Take a look at the set list below which included a brand new track, "I'm That Chick" from her upcoming album.

1. I'm That Chick

2. Like This

3. Commander

4. When Love Takes Over

5. Dilemma

6. Bad Habit

7. DC Medley (Bootylicious, Say My Name, Survivor)

8. Rose Coloured Glasses

Kelly put on a great show, her vocals were on point as usual and she definitely got the crowd moving. It just made me anticipate her third studio album even more!

Producer's Feature: Harvey Mason Jr.!

As you might already know, I like to use Twitter as a means of communicating in the music world. Last night I was going about my business as usual and decided to Tweet about the music I was listening to. Take a look at my little bit of excitement below!

Yes, that's Harvey Mason Jr. replying to me on Twitter! Anyone who knows my music tastes really well will know that I have a lot of respect and admiration for the work that Harvey has done. He has recently been mentioned as one of the best vocal producers in the business, and I have to say I somewhat agree.

His work with countless amazing singers is a testimony to his incredible talent. Harvey has worked with the likes of Toni Braxton (Hands Tied, I Hate You), Whitney Houston (I Look To You), Beyonce (Listen) and Jennifer Hudson (Invisible) just to name a few. If you haven't heard of him before take a listen to some of his work and let me know what you think!

Introducing... Alice Russell!

I was browsing the net as I usually do and came across an artist by the name of Alice Russell. Alice's unique singing style and angelic voice intrigued me so I took a look at her story. Before we get into that, take a look at her performing Gnarls Barkley's 2005 hit, "Crazy" below.

Wow, amazing! Alice has a great talent and it seems like its getting put to good use. Anyway, a bit more about her. Alice is a British soul singer who has slowly been making a name for herself in the soul/jazz world. She has four albums out, with "Pot of Gold" being the most recent. She lists artists like Minnie Ripperton, Jill Scott and Chaka Khan as her influences and has been compared to both Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone.

I think I'll pick up a copy of "Pot of Gold" in a few weeks and take a listen to it, so expect that review soon. In the meantime take a listen to the lead single from the album, "Let Us Be Loving" below and let me know what you think!

New Music: Faith Evans - "Gone Already"!

Faith Evans returns to mainstream music with her upcoming fourth studio album, "Something About Faith". The album will be relased on 5 October and is preceded by the single, "Gone Already". Take a listen ot the Carvin & Ivan (Keyshia Cole, Jill Scott) produced track below and elt me know what you think!

I'm really liking this track. I'm not so sure about how well it'll do on the charts, but nonetheless a good first single choice for Evans. Tidbit: Peep the official single cover above, which IMO is not 'the business'.
