Music Review: Maxwell, Aubrey O'Day, Slum Village
Its Friday and we would like to give you some of our favorite videos and new music that hit the internet this week. From Whitney Houston to Maxwell... it's definitely been all about R&B.
Maxwell has been driving the ladies nuts with the sensual, soothing singles he's dropped and this sexy grown-man look he has going on. This week "Bad Habit" was released that shows Maxwell cheating on his girl with the beautiful, Kerry Washington. Maxwell is releasing that "Grown Folk Music" you can't help but enjoy :).
More music from Aubrey O'Day, Slum Village, and Rich Girl...
We know that everyone remembers Aubrey O'Day from Danity Kane. Well it was rumored that she was going to leave music alone, but she shut that down quick. Aubrey O'Day has released a song featuring Shanell aka SNL from Young Money, who is also D.Woods sister. They made a remake of Eddie Murphy's hit "Party All The Time", but they added their own little twist..
Aubrey O'day & Shanell of Young Money - Party All The Time
Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys teamed up to produce and write the lyrics to Whitney Houston's uptempo track, "Million Dollar Bill". Watch out for these two, we are guessing that Swizz Beatz and Keys are definitely the next power couple with many more hits to come.
"Million Dollar Bill" will be featured on Houston's long-awaited comeback album, I Look To You, available next month.
This girl group is really pushing out music left and right. RichGirl is the group put together by producer Rich Harrison, that is currently opening for Beyonce. That tour is giving them a lot of buzz.
A track from their upcoming album entitled "Lucky You Are" just leaked. It's a great ballad, that shows off their vocal talents. RichGirl will continually remind us of the classic Destiny's Child.
We were extremely thrilled to hear that Baatin rejoined Slum Village a couple of months ago--with plans of recording a new album and touring. The hip-hop community definitely took a hit last week when it was learned that Baatin was found dead--the cause of death still unknown. Baatin had been sick for a while, in 2002 he admited that he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia.
As mentioned, we were anticipating Slum Village's comeback and we've had this track, "Cloud 9" produced by the late Dilla, on rotation in the Ipod.
RIP Baatin & Dilla
