I was cleaning out my car today and I noticed my CD case sitting on the floor in the back. So I go through it and decide to listen to Anthony Hamilton's The Point of it All (2008). I seriously forgot how good this album was because all the music I ever listen to is either online, my mp3 player, or computer. I rarely ever listen to CDs anymore...
Here are a few albums I can listen to any time anywhere.
(in no particular order)
Marvin Gaye: The Master Disc 3 (1961-1984)
John Legend: Get Lifted (2004)
Kanye West: The College Dropout (2004)
Jay-Z: The Blueprint (2001)
Maxwell: BLACKsummers'night (2009)
Aaliyah: I Care 4 U (2001)
I found out about this young lady from a friend on Facebook. In all honesty, I was not expecting such a powerful voice out of this young lady. Her name is Jessica Cornish but commonly known as Jessie, hailing from London. Her vocals are absolutely ridiculous, and she has personality to match her talent, which can be seen in any YouTube video you watch of her singing. As far as I know she doesn't have any albums as of yet but she is signed, so I'm guessing something is in the works soon. She definitely has my stamp of approval!

Today's featured artist is Janelle Monáe, hailing from Kansas City. She's different but she keeps it interesting. I can dig it. She has nice vocals and you can clearly tell that Outkast has an influence on her music, especially the song "Coldwar" (B.O.B anyone?). For more songs check her out on Myspace and YouTube.
Sorry so short but I have to keep it moving.
