(New Music) Tony Bennett & Mariah Carey – ‘When Do the Bells Ring for Me’

Mariah Carey and Tony Bennett

Here is another track from Tony Bennett's upcoming album "Duets II" due to be released on September 20th. This is a really good song and surprisingly Mariah did not oversing him. I mean I love Mariah but she does have a tendency to do that.

Listen to ‘When Do the Bells Ring for Me’ below:




New Music) Nick Cannon - ‘Deadlines (Headlines Remix)’

Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon flows over Drake's 'Headlines' beat and it does seem to me like he is using some of Drake's inflections. Overall I do not think it is a horrible song but it is far from great.

Listen to ‘Deadlines (Headlines Remix)’ below:

(New Music) Estelle – ‘Thank You’

Estelle

I really like this song as it kinda has a soulful feel to it and this really crosses me as a track that I would expect to hear from Mary J. Blige. Once you hear the track I think you will understand what I am saying.

Listen to ‘Thank You’ below:




(New Music) Tank Ft. Kris Stephens – ‘Compliments’

Tank

Tank drops another very good single and this one is his lead single off of his upcoming album "Savior". Once I started to play this track there was honestly never a moment when I was dissappointed in his vocals. This is a very good song.

Listen to ‘Compliments’ below:

(New Music) Dawn Richard - 'Love Won't Lose'

Dawn Richard

This is a decent song by Dawn and whereas her first single from her debut solo album "Goldenheart"  is set to drop this fall I can only hope and pray that this is not it. Now dont get me wrong because it is not a bad single. I just do not feel that it is a strong enough song to be her debut single. Take a listen to it and judge for yourself.

Listen to 'Love Won't Lose' below:

(Video) Amy Winehouse speaks on duet with Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse

Amy speaks on a dream duet with Tony Bennett performing one of her fathers favorite songs. Unfortunately this was the last song completed before Amy's untimely passing.

(Video) Tinie Tempah performs 'Till I'm Gone' on Jay Leno

(New Music) Birdman Ft. Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne - 'Y.U. Mad'

Y.U. Mad

Ok, im really feelin this track. The sub flow by Nicki was kinda funny to me “Yeah, we shine, gold cluster/ As for your career, dead, ghostbuster.” However the track overall is really good and im lovin the club feel I get from the beat.

Listen to 'Y.U. Mad' below"




(New Music) Bow Wow - 'Trouble On My Mind (Freestyle)'

Bow Wow

Bow once again does it on this track where he once again goes in on his lyrics. Some of his lyrics are quite humerous (to me anyway).

Listen to the 'Trouble On My Mind (Freestyle)' below:




(New Music) T-Pain Ft. Wiz Khalifa & Lily Allen - '5 O'Clock'

5 O'Clock

This track is hands down a sex song. It has a real smooth feel that I like and is overall a real smooth and laid back kind of song.

Listen to '5 O'Clock' below:

Remembering 9-11-2001


Now I am not the one to type personal messages on here but I really need to get this off of my chest.  I am fully aware that this blog is read country and worldwide so I just wanted to share my memories of that horrific day.
It is still amazing to me how I remember today so well from 10 years ago. I was 17 and in my first semester at PG Community College here in the Washington D.C. metro region and it was actually a day that I didn't have class (I only had classes on Monday, Wendnesday, and Friday and this was a Tuesday). I remember the day so well. I remember my mom calling around 9am and saying to turn on the news. I also remember dropping my brother off at driving school where he just knew that he was having driving class. I remember after that my mom calling me on my cell and telling to pick up my lil sister and sitting in traffic on Marlboro Pike (A huge surprise to me) and I remember looking around and everyone had their windows down (The weather was nice that day) listening to the radio in an errie silence. I also remember hearing about the fourth plane on the radio. After I took a back road to get off of Marlboro Pike and in the process my exhaust pipe on my car busted while the car was still driveable it sounded like a semi-truck. Once I finally reached my lil sisters elementary school I finally got out of my car and stepped into the main office. I was clearly the youngest in there and the staff were straight to the point, there were no series of questions or anything. Once we made it back home I was 100% fixated on the news.


I have also posted 3 youtube vids two of which remind me of that time of uncertanity where alot of then popular music celebs did a song together "What's Goin On" (Which was and is still mainly intended to support the AIDS crisis in Africa) however the terror attacks of 9-11-01 gave the song a second important meaning. Also a video that I just came across recently by Beyonce where her song (or part of it) was played over very touching visuals this morning.
