I had a little too much fun making this mix. There’s new music from The Tony Rich Project, Anthony Hamilton and Maiysha plus some India.Arie, Lauryn Hill and a classic from Minnie Riperton. The word is Tweet is working on a new album but having label issues (which seems to be going around lately) so no telling when her new work will see the light of day *sigh*

Sometimes you just have to let go. It’s been hectic for me the past couple of weeks and as my life changes so do things around here. Switching to Tuesdays for new podcasts and hopefully it’ll stay that way *fingers crossed*.
Raphael Saadiq’s new album was just released today and it was worth the wait. If the thought of another Ne-Yo cd coming out makes you cringe then pick up Raphael Saadiq’s The Way I See It instead. Hidden Beach artist Tony Rich is back with new music as well as Solange. All I can say is at least she isn’t a Beyonce clone and I’m glad she came out with something different. There are a few songs on Sol-Angel and The Hadley St. Dreams (and why that title?) that are nice, Sandcastle Disco grew on me mainly because this is the version with Q-Tip on it. Robin Thicke graced us with his Magic and Something Else is scheduled to be released on 9/30.
I love Teena Marie, I grew up listening to her and Where’s California has to be my favorite song. I remember looking for this song for years on something other than vinyl and finally found it a few years ago. Bah Samba remade Portuguese Love and while that isn’t a song I would think should be remade but with the UK’s Alice Russell on vocals they did it justice and then some.
The Playlist:
- Back In Love – Estelle
- My Pride – Algebra Blessett
- Never Give You Up – Raphael Saadiq ft Stevie Wonder & CJ
- Sweet On You – Hil St. Soul
- Truth – Dwele
- Part The Waves – The Tony Rich Project
- Let Go – Lalah Hathaway
- Sandcastle Disco – Solange ft Q-Tip
- You Know I’m No Good – Amy Winehouse
- Magic – Robin Thicke
- Lucky Day – Faith Evans
- Portuguese Love – Bah Samba ft Alice Russell
