Here is a single from Q-Tip’s new album The Renaissance called “That’s Sexy” featuring Andre 3000. I am feeling this album so far and look forward to its release. Great collaboration from these two.

Andre 3000 – That’s Sexy
I don’t know which artist(s) I am more excited about seeing. I love Kindred and if you know me, you already know my feelings about Anthony David. I have seen both in concert many times and I can guarantee that you do not want to miss this show. Kindred will preform songs from their new album “The Arrival” (which is in stores now) as well as the songs that we have grown to love. Now Anthony David is the man! He is one of those performers that sounds better live, and he brings great energy on stage. Kindred along with Anthony David are coming to the 9:30 club here in Washington, DC on December 7. Tickets are on sale now and for $25.00. Of course we know that both acts will give us more than $25 worth.
See ya’ll on December 7!
I came across this list on Clay Cane and this is their best female songs of the ’80s and ’90s list. I agree, almost every song on this list should be considered a classic. I think this is a great list. I know my #1 on this list would be “Superwoman” by Karyn White. I can’t stress how much I love that song – everyone was loving that song at that time. What song on this list would be your #1?

Beyonce surprised a crowd with her new single “Single Ladies” during Jay-Z’s set at a NJ concert. Beyonce was not scheduled to perform but came out, along with her dancers, and of course the crowd went crazy. She didn’t perform the song in its entirety, but just to see Bey perform for 1 min is good enough for me. Check it out below. I love how she threw up her Roc sign before she left the stage.

Apparently, Usher is setting his standards high for his upcoming projects. With his Ladies Only tour slated to kick off on Sunday he has also told Billboard Magazine that he wants his next album to expand beyond the US, but have a global feel saying how he wants to go Japan, France and London to name a few.
If he goes through with these plans I think this would be a very interesting album. London as we have seen has been pumping out talented artists left and right from Estelle, Leona Lewis, Katy Shotter and Adele so we know that artists from this part of the globe have crossover appeal. I would love to hear how the Japanese culture would inspire Mr. Raymond. Let MMIM know if you think a globally inspired album would be a good or bad thing for Usher.
Check out the video for Christina Aguilera’s latest single Keeps Getting Better off of her upcoming greatest hits album that is slated to be released on November 11th. I must say I dig this track and I still believe that Ms. Aguilera has one of the GREATEST voices in the industry right now. This little woman can blow. Let MMIM know what you think.

Almost every artist has voiced their opinion this political season. Usher has decided to do the same in the form of a song. Here is the video for “Hush.”

Great video! It almost felt like I was watching a movie. The video is definitely hot, pay attention to the message.

Very interesting song and video. I’m still trying to understand the full concept. We may need a Lyrical Analysis for this one Tanya B.! But this is “Daykeeper” from The Foreign Exchange. If you don’t know, The Foreign Exchange consist of Phonte from the rap group Little Brother and Nicolay, a well know producer from the Netherlands.

Who gives you more “Butterflies”? Floetry, who did the original or Michael Jackson? I’m going with Floetry on this one.

For all of you that have missed Slim Shady, your wait is no longer in vain. Eminem is set to release an album in December entitled Relaspe. Eminem’s last studio album Encore was released in 2004, so I am anxious to see what this album sounds like. Check MMIM for more updates on this project.
