P.'s Proposal: The Journal of Wonders (Album) - Lenny Harold

Often times, when an artist has had a run of success in the three-ringed circus that is the mainstream music industry, they thirst for more of it, and in many cases will do whatever it takes to hold on to it. Similarly, when that success has been compromised or has faded, said artist will go into hiding or their own form of exile, feeling that they are no longer of value… Continue

P.'s Vids: "One Night Stand (feat. Chris Brown)" - Keri Hilson

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, Click Here.

Mr. "Take You Down" himself, Chris Brown, turns up the heat on Keri Hilson in this new video for her single, "One Night Stand." Folks who know me know I'm not a fan of Keri, but I will never deny a good product when I see it. I dig the fact that Chris does not overshadow his female counterpart, allowing Ms. Hilson to… Continue

Sideways or not, you get the full-on idea of what Jessie J is capable of here. Dig the live performance of Jessie's single, "Price Tag" on SNL, with special guest B.o.B. and my homegirls…

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, click here.

A Pop/Dance take on a modern-day cover of an 90's Rock Hit? Why yes. Singer/Songwriter Teron Beal, pen to such greats as Michael Jackson and Bonnie Raitt, was gracious enough to allow yours truly, P. Murray, to take the vocals from the re-imagining of this record from 'The Stone Roses' and see what my brain could dream up. The end-result…

When Beyoncé Knowles-Carter released "Halo" out into the Pop music world, it was definitely a marked departure from the high-energy, strong records we were used to from her.
