In The Spotlight

Hello and happy Friday! It is time to put another artist in "In The Spotlight"! Once again it is a cover of a song the I just can't get out of head. This weeks "In The Spotlight" come from an artist who goes by the name of Ben Mallare singing a cover of Justin Timberlake's song "TKO". I think in his rendition of the song he was able to put a unique spin on the song to make it his own. So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Throwback Thursday!

Happy Throwback Thursday! I am kind of excited about this week's "Throwback" video pick because she is not only one of my favorite music artist but she is one of my favorite reality stars. It is none other than "She" "Her" Ms. Tamar Braxton. I truly feel that her current album "Love and War" is a true reflection of what we all love about Tamer but it never hurts to go back in time at the very beginning so lets take a look back at a classic Tamar song post her day in the group "The Braxton's. So I hope you enjoy! Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook just look for the logo!

Danielle Bradbery

Hello everybody I hope you have had a wonderful week and are gearing up for an exciting weekend! As always we have to take care of the weekly business of picking another "Artist Of The Week". This weeks "Artist Of The Week" was a contestant on one of my favorite shows "The Voice". Her name is Danielle Bradbery she was not only a contestant but she was the season 4 winner of the hit show. Danielle was born July 23, 1996 in League City, Texas and raised in Cypress, Texas. She is currently signed to Big Machine Records. Danielle Bradbery is scheduled to release her debut tittle album on November 25, 2013. If her lead single The Heart of Dixie is any indication her album is going to be a huge hit. What I love about Danielle Bradbery is her amazing vocal ability she has a voice that is way beyond her years. She reminds me of a young Leann Rimes. So take s a listen and tell me what you think.

In The Spotlight

Hello and happy Friday! It is that time once again to put someone "In The Spotlight"! I don't know about you but right now I am obsessed with Tamar Braxton's album "Love And War". One of my favorite songs off the album is the song called "All The Way Home". So though I would give a person singing a cover of my favorite song to shine. So here is Anita Nicole singing "All The Way Home. I think she did a great job on this song. I think she captured the true essence of the song but found a way to make it her own. So take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook just look for the logo!

Tobymac

Hello everyone I think we can all breath a sigh of relief because the weekend is very very near. So let's take a moment and pick another" Artist Of The Week" before we get all of that fun started. I think this weeks "Artist Of The Week" I think you guys will find quite interesting. He goes by the name Tobymac. Tobymac is a Christian Hip Hop artists that I feel is putting  a  mainstream twist on Christian music that could help take it to the mainstream. Tobymac was first known for being a member of the Christian vocal trio DC Talk, staying with them from 1987 until their announced hiatus in 2000. He has since continued a successful solo career with the release of five studio albums. Which include "Momentum"," Welcome To Diverse City "& "Eye On It".With his album Eye On It Tobymac became the third Christian artist to have a number 1 debut on the Billboard 200. Between his days in his Christian group and his solo career he has sold more than 10 million albums. His fifth studio album, "Eye On It"was released on August 28, 2012 and received a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. What got my attention was his song called "Lose My Soul". I feel that he is a artist who has the ability to have mass appeal to the public but most importantly their so a message behind his music. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
