Throwback Thursday: TLC
Welcome Ladies & Gentleman to another edition of Throwback Thursday!
The mid 90s was a wonderful time for Music, especially for Musical Groups. However, one group in particular stood out from the rest. Made up of all women, TLC was a departure from the usual boybands of the time. With its three members, T-Boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli, it was a combination that had a date with Musical destiny.
With the release of their 2nd album, the anticipation of CrazySexyCool was high, and it over-succeeded in its expectaions. With its 1st single, 'Creep', the song and the video introduced us to a side of the girls that was not seen in their first album; a CrazySexyCool side...
Debuting on Halloween of 1994, the song would eventually climb the charts and reach #1 this day in 1994, as well as making 'CrazySexyCool' the group's best selling album of all-time.
So here it is, your Throwback for Thursday, 'Creep'

Tappin' That Azz Thursday: Trey Songz
When Mr. Songz released his 3rd studio album, ‘Ready’, he certainly showed that he was. With an album cover that shows all the ladies that he was ready to ‘Tap That Azz’, it is only fitting that today’s bedroom anthem of the week is the 4th single released from the album, ‘I Invented Sex’ ( As well as 'Say Aah')…
So enjoy ‘Tappin’ That Azz’, I know I will… ;)
Throwback Thursday: Bobby Brown
Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday! In today's entry, we have a song that is sure to get u back into the 'New Jack Swing'... Let's Begin:
In the mid to late 1980s there was one musical group that that would influence the way music was heard, with the introduction of the ‘Boy Band’.
When ‘New Edition’ hit the scene, mainstream music hadn’t heard such a sound. Made up of members, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivens, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, and Ralph Tresvant, this was a group that was synonymous with 80s, just as Pac-Man was.
However, with their success, came the emerging of a new and controversial ‘star’. Bobby Brown, had became increasingly difficult to manage within the group. Although one of the most recognizable faces, it was almost certain that he would soon go on to begin his own solo music career.
In 1986, Brown woud release his 1st solo album, ‘King of Stage’. However, a King of the charts, he was not yet. It wasn’t until 1988, that Brown would release his 2nd solo album, ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, which would have him sitting on top of the charts… and the song that would do that would help everyone see his ‘Prerogative’.
As the 2nd single released from the album, Brown thought it imperative to let everyone know who he was and how he was going to be. The Bad Boy was in the building, and also eventually on top of the Billboard charts, this day in 1989...
So here is your Throwback For Thursday… ‘My Prerogative’, by Bobby Brown

Alternative Tuesdays: New Music
Vampire Weekend - Contra
This is the 2nd album released by the Rock band, and although already available on Itunes (January 8th), it has been released everywhere else today. Already causing a sensation, the singles 'Horchata' & 'Sensations' give the listeners what they have been waiting for... A must have this week.
OK GO - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky
This is the 2rd studio album from the group, and the main title is in reference to how blue light can cure illness. If it is from this album, then maybe this music as well. Look for the singles, 'WTF?' & 'This Too Shall Pass' to be definite chart climbers...
Paper Tongues - Ride To California
Now this is an EP drop of a rock group who will be on Tour with Switchfoot this year. From what I am hearing so far, look for Paper Tongues to become even bigger in the New Year... A must listen this week...
New Music Tuesday: Albums Of The Week
This week, we have a good range of new music, and hope you enjoy it:
Omarion - Ollusion
This is the 3rd studio album from the former B2K singer, and looks to be quite a success on the R&B charts, as well as potential for a pop chart crossover. With the release of the 1st single, ‘I Get It In’, there was a bit of a change. Originally recorded with Lil Wayne, a label change from Young Money to EMI, had caused for Gucci Mane to lay down a rap instead. As for the 2nd single, ‘Speedin’, look for that to do well on the charts in the coming months. A must have this week…
Matt Morris - When Everything Breaks Open
This is the debut album for the former Mickey Mouse alum/singer/songwriter. The son of Country singer Gary Morris, it is obvious that the musical talent runs in the family. After having written songs for Music’s pop princesses Kelly Clarkson & Christina Aguilera (Miss Independent & Can’t Hold Us Down), Morris finally does right by letting his own material be heard. A must have…
Laura Veirs - July Flame
This is the 7th studio album from the Songstress/Songwriter, and with the title track being just as infectious as the rest of the album, it is a must have for this week. Look for another track, ‘Wide-Eyed, Legless’ to become just as popular as ‘July Flame’…
Heidi Montag - Superficial
This is the debut album of one of everybody’s favorite conservative reality television personalities, Heidi Montag (Sans Hubby Spencer Pratt, sadly). The album itself is modeled after Pop music’s favorite female icons, Madonna, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani. Given an electro pop feel, the album seems to be following the current trend. Given the artist, it also seems as if the album will not be given a fair listen. To be partial, if a listener didn’t know it was Ms. Montag, then the album would be hailed a must have.
When In Rome (Soundtrack)
A definite must have soundtrack for the week would be this one. With a nice mix of today’s popular artists, such as Matchbox 20, Paolo Nutini, 3OH!3, and Tina Parol, this soundtrack does not disappoint. Especially look for the single, ‘Kickin’ It With You’, from Jason Mraz, to be a breakout hit… a must have for this week…
