Like I Love You x Melanie Fiona

Melanie Fiona is a talented artist and proves it again in this song in which she longs for some loving.

"And if it looks so bad and it hurts so bad,
Why does it feel so good?"

Just In Case...

 I forgot about this song until I heard it yesterday, and I remembered exactly why I like it so much.

Let me make love to you for the last time, baby"

Soul Sailing with Jhene Aiko

Ever heard of Jhene Aiko? She is on the hook of a Drake track I really like called July. Well today I listened to a few of her songs and the young artist is pretty talented and has a great voice. Definitely someone to check out.

Here are a couple tracks from her Mixtape Sailing Souls.

"Similar ways, similar game
starting to feel the similar pain"

Jhene Aiko - Stranger

"Yeah, but the money’s what you make it
Let it make you, see where it’s gon’ take ya"

Jhene Aiko ft. Kanye West - Sailing Not Selling

Now that's motivation!

Starting the week on a great note with some more motivation from Kelly Rowland. I liked the original with Lil Wayne but this is a hot remix... Love Trey's sexy voice and Fab's clever lines.

"Motivational speaker that uses body language
And I read it well, them other boys ain't literate"

Kelly Rowland ft. Busta Rhymes, Trey Songz & Fabolous

Dirty Money & Usher are looking for love

Diddy Dirty Money has a new single out and this one is with Usher baby! I was glad to see he was on the track but was a little disappointed after I heard it. I know they can do better... I Need A Girl was dope back in the day but judge for yourself by listening below... 

"You know we have to do it again, right?"

Diddy Dirty Money ft. Usher - Looking For Love

Billboard's Top 20 Songwriters of the decade

Billboard counted down the most talented songwriters behind last decade's chart topping hits and...

Timbaland was voted most successful with pop hits like Sexy Back and Promiscuous but also as the mastermind behind some of my favorite Aaliyah and Missy Elliott tracks. He was followed by Dr Luke, who is responsible for Ke$ha's Tik Tok and Pharell, who brought us Nelly's Hot in Herre. I Kissed A Girl author Max Martin and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty rounded up the top five.

Complete list can be found here.

"I want to know: What was in your head?
Or what was in my head? Am I supposed to change?"

Aaliyah ft. Timbaland - We Need A Resolution

I can't get this song out of my head

Wouldn't this song be perfect for a fashion show? I can definitely picture models fiercely walking down the runway to this beat.

Anyhow, fashion show or not here is Lupe Fiasco's third single off Lasers with Trey Songz on the hook, song is a hit!

"Maybe 'was your hair, maybe 'was your flair
Maybe it's the heels and the way you wear"

Lupe Fiasco ft. Trey Songz - Out Of My Head

Frank Ocean shows some Ultra Nostalgia

I've been hearing about Frank Ocean from Odd Future all over the place for a while now and finally got to checking out his music. Glad I did! His mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra is solid. It's smooth and very R&B but still has a different sound to it. Here are couple interesting tracks from the mixtape.

Mixtape can be found here

"That's a pretty big trunk
on my lincoln town car ain't it
big enough to take these broken hearts
and put em in it..."

Frank Ocean - Swim Good

"Been tryna film pleasure with my eyes wide shut, but it keeps on moving... "

Frank Ocean - Novacane

This song is a sure thing

I had the hardest time choosing a quote from this song, it has a few pretty romantic lines. Some pure R&B lovey dovey for our ears... yay! I read somewhere he wrote the song for an ex-girlfriend after he cheated on her hmm...

Anyway, the opening (and closing) line is a good one:

"Love me like a brother

Treat you like a friend

Respect you like a lover"

But I really really like this one too, and I'm sure you can guess why:

"You could be the quote

If I'm the lyric baby"

Listen below!

Miguel - Sure Thing
