Battle Tested Sade Releases New Single

New Single "Soldier Of Love"

Story by: Staff


Sade is back after an almost 10 year hibernation from the music scene. Miss.Adu (now 50 years of age, but looks 35) has finally released the lead single for her upcoming album of the same name "Soldier Of Love." The buzz started last spring when leaks on the internet started to pop up that she was in the studio working on new material. The then rumored November 09' release date has now been moved to February 8th 2010. As a huge Sade fan, I couldn't wait to hear her new single "Soldier Of Love" After listening to it a couple of times it was well worth the wait. The song starts with the sound of a north wind and then the sound of a sax and piano join in to form an almost high noon at the O.K. Corral feel. Kanye West drops in the beat with great drum rolls, but when you hear that voice. The voice that we all know and love, well, it just takes you to another place. A place that is familiar yet somehow different then we have ever went with Sade.The band sounds tighter than ever and Sade's voice is still pure magic. Kayne's production is nothing short of amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the vocal insert of "ho's" that seem to come from nowhere and quite frankly don't really work here. It seems to give the song a dated (mid 90's) club or party feel which is not what you feel when listening to this song. This is a battle song for love that could have been done without those vocal additions. All and all this is a strong lead single and we think one of Sade's best songs ever! (FIVE STARS) We can't wait to hear more from her.

Chris Brown's I'm Sorry Song To Rihanna

Mar 10, 2009 0 comments

Is this Chris Brown's sorry song? This is the latest track from Chris Brown called "Pain To Go Away (Cry No More)" Our guess is "NO" it is not because we heard it back in January. But wait maybe it is from another fight they had that we don't know about. Does art imitate life or is this just a song? What do you think?

The lyrics are below the video.






HERE ARE THE LYRICS!
Never thought it'd catch me
Never thought it'd cost me
Never thought it'd hurt me
Never thought I'd fall in love..
But I did

I feel like somebody dropped a ton of bricks on my stomach [now]
I can't eat
I can't sleep
And it hurts me so deep

I heard people talk about it
And laugh like it'll never happened to me
Now look at me
It caught me
See how quick karma comes around

Who says a man is supposed to cry?
Wish I can crawl under a rock somewhere and just die
Just want the pain to go away, today

I don't wanna cry no more
And I don't wanna hurt no more
And I don't wanna love no more
Especially if it causes this
I don't want no part of it
Because it hurts me so bad

Even when it's sunny outside
It still feels like it's raining
No clouds inside
But I still need your umbrella[oh]
Sometimes I wish I would've never let you in
And then, wish I never met you
Fell in love with you
Then I wouldn't feel like I do

Who says a man is supposed to cry?
Wish I could crawl under a rock somewhere and just die
Just want the pain to go away, today

I don't wanna cry no more
And I don't wanna hurt no more
And I don't wanna love no more
Especially if it causes this
I don't want no part of it
Because it hurts me so bad

Never thought it'd catch me
Never thought it'd cost me
Never thought it'd hurt me
Never thought I'd fall in love
But I did

Never thought it'd catch me
Never thought it'd cost me
Never thought it'd hurt me, like this
I just want the pain to go away, today

I don't wanna cry no more
And I don't wanna hurt no more
And I don't wanna love no more
Especially if it causes this
I don't want no part of it
Because it hurts me so bad

Never thought it'd catch me
Never thought it cost me
Never thought it hurt me
Never thought I'd fall in love
But I did

Never thought it'd catch me
Never thought it'd cost me
Never thought it'd hurt me like this
Like, like this

Make Yo Move - JJ featuring Runway

Mar 1, 2009 8 comments

Story: Mike C.

JJ featuring Runway "Make Yo Move"

Make Yo Move is a new song by Jessica Jonathan a.k.a JJ, featuring rapper Runway.

Jessica Jonathan - is an R&B singer songwriter from Dallas, TX. Jessica fell in love early. That love was for music and she would fall hard. JJ quickly took on a strong fascination with music ranging from Classical, R&B Soul, pop, hip-hop, jazz, and blues. Since the age of 11, JJ has encompassed her love for music by playing and studying the violin as well as nurturing her talent as a vocalist. “I believe it was when I was in the 7th grade when I grasped what I was vocally capable of”, she goes on to describe, “there was a time in the girls locker room when this song came on the radio, “Nobody” by Deborah Cox, I sang the bridge of the song, which was vocally challenging by the why and I nailed it.” JJ participated in many activities in and out of school. All where she could further develop her skills and do what she loved doing best performing. She sang in talent shows, choir musicals and took on roles in plays. She also has a skill for writing. It hasn’t been until now, that she has introduced her songwriting ability to the public, with songs she has recorded. JJ has recently joined in collaboration with a song writing team known as the Front Runners. “This is hot, actually this production team is fire, each member of the group beings a unique song writing vibe to the entire group.” JJ is currently acquiring a Bachelors of Arts in Music performance at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX.


Joshua "RunWay" Law, who started his rap career in 2003 , grew up in the North Dallas and reps his hood and city to the fullest. For a while, he gave in to the lure of the streets. “I saw a lot of people get locked up and I didn’t want to go that route,” Run says. “I had to do something different with my life.” A rap career had been in the back of Run’s mind since high school when he used to sneak out of class to hit up a popular record shop. He didn’t take his potential career seriously until he witnessed Jay-Z’s Hard Knock Life tour. Run quickly recorded a demo and took it to Universal Records. On “Hustle”, Run finds the parallels between working the corner and working a 9 to 5 and “All Good (Dedication To My Father)” which is not on the album showcases the blessed rapper recounting how he overcame his personal demons. “People say you can believe me as soon as I start rapping,” says Run. “I just bring folks closer to me. I ain’t scared to rap about who I really am or what’s really going on in the hood. It’s not just flossing with me.” With an incomparable flow underscored by hyper Texas-sized beats and enough heart to fuel a Cowboys’ championship win, RunWay is certain to not only just put Dallas on the hip-hop map, but solidify its place in the rap game as well.

Introducing Melanie Fiona

Feb 25, 2009 0 comments

Story: Mike C.

When I first heard about Melanie Fiona in late December. It was a couple days before New Year's Eve. I remember it well because I glazed-over the story and continued my search for music to play at my New Year's Eve Party. I never gave it another thought until I heard her song playing on our own DJPAUSE's cell phone as I waited for him to pick up. When he answered I said, "Hey, what was that song that was playing? He said it was by a new Kanye West product called Melanie Fiona. Also, his wife's new favorite song. After I told him that I had heard the song late last year and that I wanted to write about her myself, he finally agreed.


So who is Melanie Fiona? She is a raspy voice R & B singer from Toronto, Canada who is signed onto ROC Nation/ SRC Universal Motown. She is beautiful and talented with a confident swagger that gives her an almost star-like quality already and she hasn't even released an album yet. Have no fear her debut album is coming this spring. It is called The Bridge. It will feature 13 songs with 3 bonus tracks. The lead single is out now (available on iTunes) "Give It To Me Right" (hear it below). She is most definitely one to watch.

Check out her current single "Give It To Me Right" from the upcoming album "The Bridge."

Crash and Burn - Kasior Sosa

Kaisor Sosa.....Who is Kasior Sosa? Not the cat from that movie, but he is a southside Chicago MC. He is a gifted story teller. I am impressed with his wordplay. He is one of the most underated newcomers in the game. This one right here did not do it for me as far as the production goes, but Sosa lyrics alone are worth a listen.
Check out Kaisor Sosa's "Crash and Burn." djpause gives it 2 stars!



Crash and Burn - Kaisor Sosa


Return to the Throne - 5th Ave
For Sacramento, CA emcee 5th Ave, hip hop is a discipline - something to be lived and manifested in every step. He lives like his speaks. The co-founder of the all star artist collective The Neighborhood Watch is a quick witted wordsmith with an almost east coast accent to his flow. This cat is one to watch! This joint right here is real hot!

Check out 5th Aves "Return of the Throne" djpause gives it 4 stars!

By: DJPAUSE

Jay Rock has been doin his thing with the mixtapes for awhile, but now with major label power behind him (Warner Bros.) he just keep spittin' more and more fire.

Born and raised in Watts, California’s notorious Nickerson Gardens Projects, Jay Rock got his first encouragement from his music-making relatives, who noticed the impact his deep, melodic voice made on song after song.

Who Really Has Them Star Struck?




Story by: Mikey
Photo by: Francois

Photo: Chanelle Hayes courtesy of Wikipedia

Have you heard the song Star Struck yet? I first heard this song about a month ago. When I first listened to it I said to myself...sounds kinda like..no wait..it sounds like..then I realized it didn't sound really like anybody.

I quickly looked the song up on the internet to see who sang it. Flipped open the laptop and straight to Google. Typed in "new song Star Struck"then hit enter. What? Really? Sung by Chanelle Hayes? Wow! Who would have known. I only knew of one song by her and it did not sound like the same person singing on Star Struck. I don't mean to sound like I had doubt in one of the worlds greatest inventions, the internet. But something did not sound right here. Additional Google searches brought up the same results. Finally I went to my favorite site You Tube to see if there was a video for the song yet by Ms. Hayes. That is when I found out some really interesting information. There was a You Tube video with a song called "Star Struck" sung by Chanelle Ray? Could this be the same song that I kept humming in my head? I clicked play and it was! The very same song that for the last half hour I thought was sung by Chanelle Hayes! So after I watched and listened to the teaser video for "Star Struck." I wanted to know more about the real singer of this song, Chanelle Ray. Who was Chanelle Ray?




Here is what I found out:

Chanelle Ray is a R&B singer-songwriter out of Orlando, Florida. A brief view of her MySpace page told me that not only is she a talented singer, she also models and acts! A very talented lady indeed. Chanelle started singing at a very young age and has already begun to build an impressive resume' for someone who has just turned 20. She has opened for Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross. Shes modeled in both the 2008 Underground Couture Fashion Show and the 2008 FAMU Show in Seattle, Washington. Her debut song "Star Struck "is getting major play on Power 95.3 in Florida as well as great feedback from listeners.

I don't really know how the mix-up between the Chanelles' started, but I am glad that we got it all straight now. As for Chanelle of U.K. Big Brother fame, we do not have any information that she is working on any music at this time. Our sources did tell us that she is currently in talks about a new T.V. dating show. So for the record you can add an additional half hour (courtesy of yours truly) to her 15 minutes of fame for those that are keeping track. We wish both of them good luck with their future projects. However, we think Ms. Ray has got enough talent on her side that luck may not be necessary.
