New Music: DATAROCK
By Afolabi
This Norwegian electro-dance-rock outfit has been plying their trade for a while now. Their latest album, Datarock Datarock, isn't exactly new, as it was released in 2005 (under their own label). Yet it hasn't quite struck a chord on this side of the Atlantic. So here's a taste of Norway for you. This is...

On Point: Stax Records - The Soul of Hiphop
By Afolabi
"There is
nothing new under the sun"
Old is new, new is old, old wants to be young, young wants to be
old, on and on it goes, but there is really no difference except
in between. Here we have a compilation of some of the
finest soul tracks ever cut, courtesy of the legendary Memphis,
TN music label, Stax Records. Anyone who considers
themselves even remotely knowledgable about hiphop will be
surprised to find out how many hiphop songs are really sampled
soul tracks. The Wu, ODB, Three 6 Mafia, Big Daddy Kane,
noone is exempt. All of them influenced by the harmonies of
The Emotions, the funk of Booker T & The MG's, The
Bar-Kays, The Dramatics, the groove of Rufus Thomas, and
most of all the supreme musical genius of Isaac Hayes. Get
some Stax in your life! This is... Stax Records - The Soul of
Hiphop

The Jumpoff: Chrisette Michele_Norah Jones
By Afolabi
Hey there people! Happy Monday! Hopefully yours is
unfolding all smooth and easy-like. By design, it's been a
while since wrote one of these. But last weekend i heard a
song, watched a show, got to thinking, and decided this was the
best way to share my mind in this particlular case. Welcome
to The Jumpoff!
A-Side
This next artist has been featured on here a few times. Her debut album had more of an old-school Lady 'Day feel to it, but her latest album (Epiphany - in stores now) has been infused with more updated sounds and such. I'm all for versatility regardless of what you do, and this album is testament to that. This is the title track on the album; from the lyrics to the beat and everthing else in between, it's pretty sweet, just like the artist herself... Chrisette Michele - Epiphany
B-Side
This is possibly one of the easiest songs ever written, and i don't mean easy as in not difficult. Despite the fact that i've known this song for ages, it always sounds ageless whenever i hear it. From her impossibly superb debut album, Come Away with Me, this is... Norah Jones - Don't know why
And that will do it this time. Hope the rest of the week is awesome. Keep on keepin' on. Until next time, be easy.
