    Lauryn Hill NPR Interview

    June 29, 2010

    lauryn hill

    NPR recently did a dope interview with Lauryn Hill where she discusses a host of things including on why she stopped making music, what it means to her to perform live, and being a mother. Here is an excerpt from the interview.

    NPR: I ask her the question her fans have been asking each other for years: Why did you stop putting out music?

    Lauryn Hill: “There were a number of different reasons,” she says. “But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it’s important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it’s important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected.”

    Album Review: Avery Sunshine

    June 28, 2010

    avery_sunshine

    Diversity is key! I must say that this artist is one to have the elements of longevity. Ms. Avery Sunshine is a Philadelphia native who is a talented singer, songwriter, and pianist who is signed to Dome Records (based in the UK). Although she is rooted in Gospel, Avery also shows how versatile she is, especially in her debut self-titled album, as it spans across genres of Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, and the lovely sounds of Soul. Avery’s sundry style is quite captivating as she sings about love and loss, the emotional ride you sometimes take because of it, and ultimately rediscovering oneself after dealing with the entire ordeal. I may also add that the live instrumentation displays the outstanding talent the musicians give as they compliment Avery quite well on this album.

    As the album begins, Avery Sunshine orients us with such smoothness in “All in My Head” as she pretty much toils with insecurities and doubt with an upbeat twist. We all should be able to relate to this particular track as we often doubt our actions in our journey we call life. So she sheds light on the situation as there are times we fall victim to being our own worst enemy, “making a mountain out of a mole hill…” as she says. In her song, “I Got Sunshine”, I love how she shows her diversity as she sings about still having joy, even when it seems things just aren’t working right. “Perform” is a nice, smooth, sultry interlude that gives your ears a good healing while in relaxation. My personal favorite, “Ugly Part of Me”; Avery gives an ultimate showcase of her talent while she gives a clever but sincere apology to her lover. How can you not accept such an apology? This song really struck my soul as I gave it a listen. With the display of good arrangement, composition, songwriting, the sound of real soul music, combined with great vocals, these are the elements to making a song a “winner”. This song is heartfelt and full of honesty and is sure to be one that will catapult Avery on the music charts. Another song that is a heavy-hitter is “Today” as she pretty much runs off a list of problems starting with the baby-father who seems to be falling short of his duties, to car problems, that boss at work you can’t always deal with, and keeping your sanity through it all. “Blessin’ Me” is another favorite as Avery gives us her spin on a Gospel treasure.

    Avery Sunshine’s album gets your attention as it shows her diverse musical style that’s sure to quench your thirst. This album gives a mellow, smooth sound with a nice groove. Avery Sunshine has produced an outstanding project and is one that you should not miss!

    BET Awards Performances 2010

    June 28, 2010

    chris_brown_BETawards

    I can’t remember when I began to watch the BET awards, but out of the many years, this was the best show yet! BET really outdid themselves this year, bringing the viewing audience amazing performances and tributes. Mr. West opened the show with his most talked about single, “Power.” Of course the crowd went crazy; this was Yeezy first award show since the MTV awards incident. There were other memorable performances (some good and some not so good.) B.o.B surprised us and brought out Eminem for the remix of his single, “Airplanes.” He also tried to convince us that Keyshia Cole would do better on the hook than Hayley Williams; I did not become a believer.

    Chris Brown did one of the greatest tributes to his mentor, Michael Jackson. When “The Way You Make Me Feel” started to play and the curtains revealed CB, the most highest anticipation had set in. If anyone could do a MJ tribute, there was no question it would be Chris Brown. He could not get through “Man in the Mirror” without breaking down and his emotions were felt throughout the room, including mine! Very emotional tribute and Chris deserved the standing ovation he received from the audience.

    Other performances included El Debarge, Tyrese, Diddy w/Dirty Money, Rick Ross, Jeezy, Drake, Kirk Franklin, Marvin Saap, Trey Songz, Monica, Deniece Williams, Usher, Ludacris, J Cole and much more.

    Prince received the Lifetime Achievement Award with a tribute by Janelle Monae, Ezperanda Spalding, Alicia Keys and Patti LaBelle.
