In The Spotlight

This weeks "In The Spotlight" come from a hip hop artist that goes by the name Uno Royalty. I think he brings something very unique to the world of hip hop. I like the fact that he not only uses his lyrical talent to help tell a story but to help spread a message. It is not always about the cars and the bling. Hip hop is a creative expression to deal with a persons reality or to release the pain or stress of a difficult situations. So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Throwback Thursday!

Happy Thursday! It is time to pick another "Throwback" video pick! This week I have chosen to pick a video that a lot of females in the music industry have looked up to and inspired them to become singers (Brandy, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce). It is none other than the late great Whitney Houston. On August 9, 2013 she would have been 50 years old. So lets take a look back in time at one of the songs that made the world fall in love with her and her amazing talent " I Want To Dance With Somebody".  I hope everyone enjoys and Happy 50th Birthday Whitney Houston RIP!

Little Mix

This weeks "Artist Of Week"  is another U.K import that came to the worlds attention thanks to Simon Cowell and a little show called "X Factor. Little Mix are a British four-piece girl group formed in 2011, consisting of members Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall.^[1] They were formed exclusively for the eighth series of The X Factor, where they became the first group entry to win in the programme's eight-year history. Following their victory, they signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records. The group subsequently signed in the United States with Columbia Records. Little Mix have been branded the next Spice Girls.
 What I love about this group is that when you strip down all of the bubbly pop elements they have a soulful four part harmony that is truly amazing and a true gift. Lets face it in today's music industry that is very hard to come by. What got my attention about this girl group was their song called "Wings". It is not only a great feel good up beat song it also  carries a great message. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
