My Wish List

I l-o-v-e music. Secular and Gospel. This ruffles the feathers of some. And I don't think that we should listen to any old thing. Some stuff is absolutely ridiculous and I don't want that nonsense in my head. But I know that I will never give up ALL secular music. Not going to happen. And if you have a problem, then click that button at the top right of the window with the "X" on it. =)

Q-Tip's new album: The Renaissance:: I've always loved his music, solo and with A Tribe Called Quest. "Let's Ride" was my fav. Yall remember that? His sound is always so refreshing! His latest single, "Getting Up" is my jam. I love the piano on the track. Not to mention that he is talking about loving his woman.

Feelings that should never end And you respect me like a friend But love me like your man No other could contend

I like to watch everybody gravitate towards you Your magnetic presences make them come thru The same way you got them you got me too

The Foreign Exchange:: I've NEVER heard of them before. But I am so glad I stumbled across them. And they've been out for a minute too. They have a song out called "Daykeeper." I like. Very mellow. Melodic. Vocals are tight. His voice!!!! The album is called, "Leave It All Behind". It's reminiscent of Dwele and Raheem. More Dwele though. I LOVE IT!

Why dont you stay here with me I pray that our morning won't leave Let me keep you Then youll see Dont hide the truth from yourself Its you that i'll love and protect Let me keep you here with me

Ahh, Musiq:: His new album is entitled, "On My Radio." Honestly, I'm not feeling the first single. I don't get it. Who is he trying to appeal to? It's so left field for him. I mean, change is good. It worked for Mr. Legend on "Green Light." But I'm not feeling "Radio" at all. It sounds like he tried too hard. Booo. BUT, "So Beautiful," which is the song that you hear playing right now is MY JAM! AAHH! I love it! Now, this is what I call good Musiq. I'm iffy about his entire album, but I will definitely dish out .99 cents to get that one track off of Itunes.

The music comes in all soft and seductive. And then he croons:

You're my baby, my lover, my lady All night you make me want you It drives me crazy i feel like you were made just for me babe Tell me if you feel the same way cuz it just feels so right I dont wanna waste no time If i had to choose I know im gone always choose to be with you
Girl dont you know you're so beautiful I wanna give all my love to you girl Not
just tonight but the rest of your life I wanna be always here by your side
I see a trend. All of these songs are about a man loving his woman and wanting to be with his woman. No games. No foolishness. No other woman. It's just you and me baby. That's how its supposed to be. =)

I LOVE music and yes, I have ruffled my share of feathers because of that. But I gotta have positive music to drive to, to vibe to, to sing to, to dance to. So I'm wit' ya on that. Thanks for talking about some new stuff that's out. I didn't know Musiq had a new CD out. On his past stuff I only skipped around but I bought the CDs just the same. His stuff can be iffy.

I love the last quarter because all the albums that have been pushed all year finally come out....

I cant wait for the Common, Tweet has a new one... and of course the ones you mentioned above.

The only thing I wont get is a new Teedra Moses album... if that happened... music would be perfect in my eyes!

Myowne- yes! I feel you. I like to cruise to my fav artists. I hope Musiq's CD is far better than that radio song.

Muze!!!
I wish you lived up the street. OMG! You are always on it when it comes to music.

Eb- Oh yes! Tweet. Her first album will always be a favorite.
