The first time I’d ever heard of Lewis Taylor was on the internet some time in the late 1990s. I believe it may’ve been on iMusic.com’s old forum, or perhaps even the old Prince discussion board that I used to frequent around that time. Either way, folks were raving all about this artist, saying that [...]

A few random thoughts about Rahsaan Patterson

On the evening of Monday July 27th 2009, I was sitting in my room, listening to a compilation that I had put together back in 2005, when the song “Fly High” by Rahsaan Patterson began to play. For some reason, I decided to do a Google search for it because I felt as though it [...]
Maya Who?! – Maya Azucena
Posted in Neo Soul, R'n'B, Reviews, Soul on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Maya Azucena is an independent soul artist who hails from a place in New York called Flatbush. According to the documentary featured on the ehanced portion of her debut album, she was the only girl in her neighbourhood aside from her very own sister. Hmmm. Interesting. Although the album “Maya Who?!” was apparently released in [...]
Black Summers Night – Maxwell
Posted in Maxwell, Reviews, Soul on July 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Unless you count the “Unplugged” CD that was released in between “Urban Hang Suite” and “Embrya,” (which I don’t) this is the fourth album by Maxwell. His last album was called “Now” and was released some time in mid-to-late 2001. The man then decided to disappear for a good eight years before making his fans [...]
In Our Lifetime – Marvin Gaye

The follow-up to Marvin Gaye’s 1978 double LP set, “Here my dear,” was originally supposed to be a much more dance orientated record by the name of “Love Man.” However, after issuing the first single, “Ego Trippin’ Out,” good ole Marve (Jah bless his funky soul) decided that the album was just not good enough. [...]
Enter My Mind – Marlon Saunders

This album was first brought to my attention when it was first released in 2003. I was downloading some MP3 files on a fan-site called freemyheart.com, which is a site for an artist formerly known as Michelle Johnson, better known as Me’shell Ndegeocello. A few of the songs from the record were in fact [...]
Back To Black – Amy Winehouse
Posted in R'n'B, Reviews, Soul on June 19, 2007 | 2 Comments »
If my memory serves me correctly, this album was first brought to my attention after reading a post about her music in the non music forum on Prince.Org. Also, there were some folks discussing Amy on The Roots’ website, okayplayer.com where she eventually became a so-called “Okay Artist” as a result of these discussions.
Here My Dear – Marvin Gaye

This album was originally released in 1978 as a double LP set. Apparently his record label freaked out when they discovered that it was going to be released as such, because back in the late 70s, two records full of new material would have been a hell of a lot of songs for folks to [...]
