She's got big dreams to move to New York after graduation and possibly run her own music publication one day, but no need to rush; until then you can find her getting her degree in Mass Communication at FIU, writing for URB.com, running her own blog, reviewing music for Radiate FM, contributing her words to Back\slash Mag, and feverishly scouring the net for the next best thing in music. "Dang, girl - slow down!" Uhh uhhh - like 'Ye, you can't tell her NOTHIN'.

Hello Morning – Self Titled EP (Review)

Hello Morning

Self Titled EP

Released by Timber Carnival Records


The gentlemen of Hello Morning are no aliens to the world of music. In fact, the members separately made a name for themselves early on while performing in other bands such as Jonah, Smalltown Poets, Sappo, Boy Eats Drum Machine, and Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights. But it wasn’t until 2007 that they finally came together to form Hello Morning. Now, three years since the band was officially founded, the guys from Portland, Oregon have completed their self titled debut EP and are copiously equipped to make a distinct avowal.

Erykah Badu – “Window Seat” (MP3)

Here’s one that’s surely gonna be a treat.

“Window Seat” is the essence of classic and fundamental Badu. The official first single from New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh is velvety and melodic, perfectly framing Erykah’s timeless vocals, nodding to past projects such as Mama’s Gun, and blending it all together to produce a sound that’s both fresh and organic. Lavish in its soulful glory, its live instrumentation is lush and possesses musical qualities that will not only touch spirits, but have them grooving as well. Can I also get a window seat?

Mos Def – “The Tournament” (MP3)

Don’t you just love stumbling upon stuff like this? I’m a really big Mos Def fan – a really big one – so when I found this posted on my facebook wall by an acquaintance of mine, fellow Dante fanatics can probably imagine the amount of gratification that instantaneously shot through my being at that very moment in time. With Mos Def doing what he does best on the track, it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t share this Ecstatic leftover.
