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.


Watch her cover "Single Ladies".



Love!

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.
