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?

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 ...

Interview: Cee Lo Green


I had the privilege of having a quick lunch with the fascinating Cee Lo Green, who is best known for being one fourth of rap group Goodie Mob and one half on the incredibly successful Gnarls Barkley. Currently promoting his latest solo record, “The Lady Killer,” the jack of all trades discussed everything from Twitter to his new TV show on Fuse. Check it out.


On how the process for “Lady Killer” was different:

I’ve had more of an executive producing, A&R-ing agenda for this record. I picked the people and the sound, as opposed to Danger Mouse compelling it. Working with him on Gnarls was a given, it was there. I didn’t have to create it. I trusted it. It [this album] was built from scratch.
