Jarell Perry releases Debut LP, Simple Things (Review & Free Download Link Inside) (Review)



It's no secret that we've been anticipating Jarell Perry's Debut LP, Simple Things, for more than a hot minute.  Released earlier last week, Perry and his camp decided to drop the LP for free.  It's easy to draw comparisons between Jarell and the current class of Alt-R&B cross genre artists which includes Miguel, Frank Ocean, and The Weeknd.  As indicative of this class of talents, Perry and producer Hassan musically dip into aural exchanges ...

Janelle Monáe x Bruno Mars: Hooligans in Wondaland (San Francisco concert review)

The Hooligans in Wondaland tour headlined by Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe, or should I say, Janelle Monáe and Bruno Mars? No wait, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe – okay, I’m going with Janelle Monáe and Bruno Mars. Anyway, last night at the Billy Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Janelle Monáe and Bruno Mars performed back to back and anytime two charismatic artists like these two perform, it’s going to be clash of awe.

The question is, who stole the show? Bruno Mars did take the last spot of the night and people (girls) were loving the beach, sugar, pop melodies; I also can’t forget to mention, they really, really, really, loved the three hip thrusts he gave out early in the show (youtube at your own risk). And Janelle …

@TheAlexChapman interviews Travie McCoy (Video)

Here’s something you don’t see everyday: The lead singer of an alternative rock band, who just happens to also be signed to T-Pain’s Nappy Boy imprint as a solo artist. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s an incredibly vague description of the man responsible for the smash of the summer, “Billionaire” (along with fellow hitmaker Bruno Mars). Travie Mccoy, whose music with band Gym Class Heroes walks the line between aggressive rap-rock and an appealing mopeyness akin to Fall Out Boy, has taken an interesting musical turn …

Cee-Lo Green – The Lady Killer (Review)

Cee-Lo Green

The Lady Killer

Released by Elektra/Atlantic


His second album was called Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine. Now that I've got the chance to hear his latest, something tells me that perhaps it might have been more appropriate to save that title for this release. That isn't to say that the current title isn't fitting in it's own right. In fact, The Lady Killer almost actually warrants the classification of a concept album. Right off the bat, Cee-Lo's soothing voice quickly turns sinister on the intro as he growls, "when it comes to ladies, I have ...
