After being teased during Wednesday's prime time special, the full video for Janet Jackson's "Make Me" premiered last night during ABC's 20/20. My partner in crime Ro said all that needs to be said about the clip. This is just an update to give you the full show. Vintage Janet, indeed. Enjoy. And...

Cheddie Wildman Res has released a free cd on her website that is damn good! ....nice followup to "How I Do"
Two things struck me simultaneously the other day as I was listening to DMX: firstly, DMX used to be able to get it hype and convey so many deep emotions all at once and secondly, some dude who was my first love did me wrong when this same DMX song was circulating on the radio. This led me to thi...

Van Hunt's "Down Here in Hell (With You)" feels particularly timely right now. We're descending into the end-of-year holidays during an unrelenting recession. Everyone is digging in, situations are really tough, and the passion between many lovers is under strain and being tested. "Down Here in H...

No celebration of the Queen of Hip Hop Soul would be complete without noting the many style transformations that have occurred throughout her career. It's not often that we can gauge someone's growth in life based on what they're wearing, but Mary J. Blige is someone who literally wears her emot...

So, it's been pretty evident since the founding of SoulBounce that we have an unshakable fondness for Miss Jackson. There's no denying that the woman is a pop icon.

I adore the Brand New Heavies. How happy was I when the original lineup--consisting of Jan Kincaid, Simon Bartholomew, Andrew Levy and N'Dea Davenport--reunited and released an album in 2006. They've toured extensively in that time and if you've been blessed to see them live in concert as I have,...

I've always loved remixes because they gave a song you might love and new sound, a new edge, a new flavor, so that you wouldn't get tired of it. And after weeks of listening to, repping for, and losing my voice trying to sing Jay-Z & Alicia Keys' Billboard-topping "Empire State of Mind," somethin...

Boy meets girl and they fall in love. Life happens, arguments ensue and feelings are damaged. Only the right kind of slow jam can create an atmosphere of reconciliation that not only rights the wrongs, but elevates the passion between them. Silk created such a jam with "Lose Control"--a magical b...

I love Aaron Hall. His voice instantly makes me reminisce about my childhood and gives me warm, fuzzy feelings all over. I don't get very star struck over most people but witnessing Faith perform an impromptu duet with him last New Year's Eve nearly brought me to tears while simultaneously scream...

Mary J. Blige's "Be Happy" was the upbeat first single from My Life to the rest of the world of people who hadn't taken the time to delve into this overwrought, thickened with emotion of an album. To outsiders, Mary was on top of a building, arms outstretched, beckoning The Creator to enter her v...

V.V. Brown has been making a splash on the UK scene for quite some time now even if we may be ignorant of her talent on this side of the pond. But talent she has, along with a sweetened quirky style that make her very accessible. Did I add that she's always clothed by the way (note to aspiring Po...

Picture it: 1980. A group named Ambrosia release their fourth studio album entitled One Eighty. The four members, all from Los Angeles, grew up idolizing the supergroups of the era, everyone from The Who to Genesis to The Doobie Brothers. And their sound reflected that. It was on this album that...

Are Robin Thicke and his homies in a mansion chalk full o'harlots in the "Sex Therapy" video? What is happening here? The men look like a neo rat pack and all the wimminz are wearing onesies and racial ambiguous. It's like a James Bond movie. All of this is to say--I likey. It's hot without being...

It's no secret that we have mad love for Jesse Boykins III on SoulBounce. Hell, it's no secret that he gets mad love just about anywhere he happens to be. Even though his last full-length album was released last year, there is no shortage of JB3 treats to tide you over until he decides to drop an...

There is an ultra-fine, super thin line between douchebag-worthy Pop music and Pop music that is worthy of your time. Just to prove my point, remember the side-eyes and twisted-up faces you gave N'Sync repeatedly until their formula finally hit a soulful nerve in your brain that traveled down to ...

I can't believe I'm writing this, but I absolutely adore Beyoncé and Lady Gaga's track and video for their collaboration known as "Video Phone." Granted, I haven't liked anything Beyoncé has done since "Me Myself & I," but I did show some love to Lady Gaga's impressive artistic ability not to...

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Like most of you, I love Mos Def and "Umi Says" is just one of those tracks that I don't want to hear anyone else perform but him. I'm not going to say that Dasha doesn't sound great because she does. But there's something missing. The song ends abruptly, a...

I will be the first to admit that I've taken a take-it-or-leave-it approach to most of Alicia Keys' music over the past few years. From "No One" to "It Doesn't Mean Anything," her music has just been aight for me. However, in order to be fair, I also must admit that this has been a good year for ...

Unwavering dedication--at the expense of tears, heartache and sanity--throbs in the core of any true "ride or die" type of love. When My Life dropped, Mary J. Blige had become the poster child for tormented souls battered by incredibly flawed love and "No One Else" was her pledge to stay and...
