Macy Gray | The ID
Following her double platinum success of “On How Life Is”, she is back with a new album, “The ID”.
Contrary to her debut album, Macy Gray's second release is upbeat, funny and filled with funky grooves. Her trademark raspy voice is used as a main element in her songs. Mixing that with rock, pop, hip-hop and a bit of soul. Think a black version of Jamiroquai.
I just love “The ID”. I think I'm going to get it and you should too!

Alicia Keys | Songs In A Minor
Hailed as this generation's Roberta Flack, Alicia Keys, is the hottest new act to come up from the R&B/Soul scene.
For her debut effort, she has arranged and written all her tracks in “Songs In A Minor”. Keys' music's tendency to modulate more often than any other
R&B/Soul singer give thanks to the classic performers who have greatly influenced her especially Stevie Wonder. Her headshaking style vocal-runnings is also reminiscent of “Mr Fingertips”. Her remake of Prince's difficult “How Come U Don't Call Me” adds up to the beautiful collection of songs mostly penned by herself, and not even one bounce or rap track included, making it a unique classic and her a star to remember.

Maxwell | Now
To those who dig old-school R&B, you ought to check Maxwell out. He is known to have the traditional R&B sounds but in his third and latest offering, “Now”, some of the signature Maxwell magic has gone. Sounding a bit pop-ish, the tracks that you should check out in “Now” are “Lifetime” and “Get To Know Ya”. But simply said, Maxwell's “Now” is a joy to listen to. Check it out. |
