Yeah, it’s hard to believe. Two of my picks this week are…R & B? I’ve never hated this genre, but I admit I’m a little surprised that these are my favorites. On one hand, these are R & B / Rap combos. On the other hand, Ciara and Kelly Rowland are definitely R&B.
Like You. Bow Wow featuring Ciara. I’m old enough to remember when Bow Wow was Lil’ Bow Wow. I have to give him props for growing up in the business and not giving up. I didn’t think he’d make it this far. Dropping the Lil’ was probably a good idea. Anybody know how old the guy is now?
Anyways, on to the song. I didn’t like it at first…and then I realized Ciara was in it! I could see me and Ciara getting along great. She seems pretty chill like me. Great lyrics and she and Bow Wow sound great together. Nice little beat in the background…makes me want to be back at high school dances. I hope Ciara maintains a huge presence in R&B, because I think she’s awesome and I like everything she’s been involved with.
Here We Go. Trina featuring Kelly Rowland. First of all, I wouldn’t want to be on Trina’s bad side. So, I think I’m going to just stay friends with her for now. ‘Cuz the woman can cut a man to pieces with those lyrics! Cool song with a nice contrast between the rough spittin’ by Trina and the sweet song of Kelly Rowland, a star in her own right. (She don’t need no Beyonce!)
Ciara and Kelly Rowland sound nearly angelic. Bow Wow and Trina give the songs a little balance…um, the other way. Thanks to all involved for the great songs.
Oh, and Ciara…call me!
In GREAT NEWS for musical fans: RENT: The Original Motion Picture soundtrack is out. There aren’t any huge departures from the Original Broadway Cast recording, with the exception of a sweeter sounding Mimi. I’ll admit being a bit naïve to street life, but aren’t homeless druggies supposed to be a little raspier and less Sesame Street? Adam Pascal sounds great as always…I can’t wait to see this movie.
