I Know Why the Songbirds Sing

You can hear a clip of Myshel's promo song, "Smile" right HERE.

Myshel believes that her music will help heal the world. ''I believe the whole reason I'm here is to sing to the world,'' she says. ''You don't give that up. It's like giving up your breath.''

Ladies and gentlemen, keep an eye out for her . . . she will be the next songbird to blow up soon.

Jody Watley's New CD

A friend recently hit me off with the new Jody Watley CD titled Midnight Lounge. Remember Jody? She was the dancing hottie of the '80s trio Shalamar. Then she went on the solo tip and blew up. I loved her self-titled debut album, which, I believe is one of the best R&B albums of the '80s. The album featured that funky hit, "Looking For A New Love." (Sing along with me: "I'm looking for a new love baby . . . a new love. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!") I also liked "Don't You Want Me" - that was my skating-ring jam.

But, of course, it was the song "Friends" (featuring Rakim) from her second album Larger Than Life that made her more appealing to the hip-hop set. And by the way, "Friends" is considered by many as the first R&B song to featured a rapper - thus, igniting the onslaught of R&B-hip-hop collabos. Yes, Jody was a trailblazer. Oh, and don't forget about "Everything" - that was the top ballad of '89.

Jody's latest CD Midnight Lounge is b-b-b banging! But she's on the smooth jazz tip, now. There's a song on the disc titled "Skin Deep" that made me squirt in my pants. For Rilla My Frillas! I was squirting!

Jody still has that seductive voice . . . and fellas, she still looks good as hell.

If you want to hear some smooth jazz from Jody Watley . . . check out her latest offering. It really made me squirt.

Oh, and lets not forget . . .

I will be the first one in line to cop the new Mary J. Blige joint - Love & Life.

The video by Rhian is nice and she is a good singer. I just hope she stays mellow and classy and doesnt start losing her artisitic integrity by trying to obtain the cheap success of others. She really does have talent.
