P.'s Proposals: OlamideFaison.com

Well, it's here! Or...there. Technically speaking.

For the past two years or so that I've known singer/songwriter/actor Olamide Faison, I've probably hinted - more likely yelled at him - about the importance of getting a website up for his material, and I'm sure that others have too. Who knows where the final straw was drawn, but thanks to whatever Universal powers made it happen,…

P.'s Playlist: "Can't Be Alone" - Nova

Many of you may remember Nova from his work as a skilled dance performer & his time spent as a dancer & singer/songwriter with the NYC-based entertainment company, The AmountBoyz. Since then, he has been taking time to develop both his vocal & lyrical skills, and the end result is cuts like this. "Can't Be Alone" shows off Nova's arrangement skills and dexterity as an R&B storyteller. The record is reminiscent…

P.'s Vids: "I Want You" - Luke James

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, Click Here.

When Mike Jones started his "Who Is Mike Jones?" campaign, the end result was somewhat of a short-lived sense of satisfaction, being that Jones never really panned out after his first few singles. I'm happy to report that the real…

P.'s Vids: "Turning Tables (Live @ AOL Sessions)" - Adele

Mobile pals, for the direct link, Click Here.

There isn't much to say, except to be inspired by British songstress Adele as she pours out her soul once more in this intimate version of "Turning Tables," a highlight on her newest album, "21." What draws me to Adele isn't the spectacular vocal technique that I'm often searching for with many self-dubbed… Continue

Colleague and prodigy-vocalist/musician Charles Perry was kind enough to post this music on my sites recently. Those who may not know his name at first will certainly enjoy this provocative and emotion-filled two-song set, the first telling of his title, the aptly-named "Soul Super-Hero." Comments welcome, enjoy!

P.'s Vids: "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, Click Here.

British soul songstress Adele returns with the video for the lead single off her latest album, "21." "Rolling In The Deep" is a fire-laced tale of love lost & retribution. I enjoyed the repetitive imagery here, particularly the hundreds of water-filled glasses quivering from the four-to-the-floor drum pattern; the redundancy of the… Continue

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, CLICK HERE.

Following up with the release of his new album, "Now Or Never," R&B adept Tank hits us with the music video for what I think is not only one of the best cuts off the LP, but one of the most beautifully re-created versions of one of the greatest songs in the American Pop catalogue. What I love about this… Continue

P.'s Playlist: "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga

Mobile Pals, for the direct link, CLICK HERE

Yes, it's the modern day "Vogue." Yes, it has elements of George Michael's "Freedom." And yes, it probably sounds better as a full-out rock song with a slower tempo and an 80's hair band. With all of that said & realized, I still love this new record from the lovely Lady Gaga. "Born This Way" is the feel-good self-empowerment record for… Continue
