Obxessed: Rated R

Wow. I just remembered that I hadn't shared an interesting fact about my year with you all. I LOVED Rihanna's last album..... I know. I know. Strange, I hear you say BUT let me explain.

It was something about Rihanna's last album that had me catching my breath and playing her songs on repeat. I mean, WOW. If I had to psychoanalyze Rih during this period in her life I would say (as most people would) that she was in a state of constant emotional shifting and this seems to have positively affected her music. Rihanna's album was in constant rotation and helped me to appreciate her more as an artist.With the release and a listen of her latest album, Loud, I had to take a moment to reminisce on possibly, her greatest album ever.( I mean let's be honest- life is not cruel enough to serve you another dose of a "CBreezy Scandal" and therefore a meaningful album.)

So anyway, my favorite songs off of Rih's last album:


Cold Case Love- Rihanna

Firebomb-Rihanna

The Last Song- Rihanna

And last but not least:

Birthday Reflections

My bday has come and gone and I have been of course continuing my year of heavy reflection and this is what I wrote right as my bday rang in..

"I dont think I have ever taken a proper moment to reflect on my birthday. Usually I spend my time leading up to the day thinking about plans and imagining what I'll wear. This year was different. I had the opportunity to take some moments and reflect on the many challenges and triumphs this year, in particular, has brought me. As I filled my facebook status updates with sentiments of love, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the people who are in my life and who encourage, love, reprimand and make me laugh until my side hurts. I LOVE people. I LOVE you all. I appreciate all the positive energy that the presence of so many individuals bring to my otherwise dull life. My birthday is a celebration of you. Without you this day is meaningless. Cheers to friends, love and memories."

That's exactly how I feel as I close out this year- mindful of the many challenges I survived and grateful for the many lessons I learned. Through the challenges I have come to realize the true value of a friend and fortunately my birthday party this year was able to prove that fact 30X over. God is great and friends make life better. Much love.

Obxessed: Sara Bareilles

I was just having some big moments With Ms. Sara late last week and if you follow me on twitter you got a glimpse into my sudden love affair. I've always thought Sara Bareilles was talented but it's something about where I am in life right now that allows her voice to really move me. Some of my faves of Ms. Sara. Can't you just feel the honesty in her voice?

One of my fave songs by Sara is "Gravity"....



My friend sent me this video today and I melted.

Just Get To Know: Reema Major

I go through these strange tides in life when I start to take in excessive amounts of rap/hip hop. Right now is one of those times in my life. I'm falling back in love with rap as an art form and re-appreciating its beauty, genius and appeal. I came across this young dope girl the other day and I had to share. She is just a mere 15 years old (Yeah, she looks 25 BUT that's a whole other story. I blame Bush and Beyonce. lmao.)The girl has much promise though. Check the freestyle that made me take a closer look and some of her other tracks.

Hey friends! I have been playing Diddy's "Loving You No More" and despite his horrible singing skills, I am so digging most of his music as of late. The original song and video is below.





And now for the two covers of the song that I have on repeat. Trey Songz and Keri Hilson is up first. It's the added "f*ck" that makes the song 30X more awesome.

Article Dopeness: Lady Gaga and the Death of Sex

Today, while doing my daily peruse around the internet world I came across a compelling article about Lady Gaga. This article questions the validity of Gaga as a symbol for the world's misfits or "little monsters" as she affectionately calls them. Is Gaga tale of being a misfit and on the fringes of society a true story or it riddled with lies and she the music industry's Frankenstein? Is Gaga a creation? real? or both?

Article Dopeness: 20-Somethings....

The "Times" begs the questions "What is it about 20-somethings? Why are so many people in their 20's taking so long to grow up?"

Hmmmmm... I'm conflicted as I ponder this question and the article. On one hand, I'm immediately defensive. I do not feel like I am in anyway stalling my personal, financial and spiritual growth. In fact, I am laying out the plans for my life. I feel confident in my ability to grow and continue to grow. But on the other hand, I think about so many people that I know who are living the classic "20-something lifestyle". Letting life happen to them, partying too much and investing little to no energy in thinking about the ways in which they would like to progress. So, I get it but I'm still conflicted. Read the article and see what you think.

Article Dopeness: Essence Hires A White Fashion Editor

There has been a lot of stir lately over the hiring of Essence's new fashion editor. Why? Because she is a white woman.

One side is saying that Essence is one of the few remaining Black magazine's and that by hiring a white woman they are showing a dis-connect to their primary audience and are afraid that the new hire cannot deliver from the Black woman's perspective. Another perspective is saying that this new hire is well aware of the main audience of the magazine and is completely aligned with Essence's magazine's mission and will therefore deliver accordingly.

I'm really going to have to try extremely hard to stay on track with my initial career goals now that I'm living here full time. Going to concerts always ignites this desire to do music all day, everyday. I always leave wanting to go straight to a studio, stay up all night and make a whole album. Sigh. Pray for me.

Or more specifically, my father. It's totally his fault. He spoiled/spoils me. Okay, happy to get that off of my chest. haha. No, but really, avoiding the temptation of spending is haaaaaard. I know.
