Fab Friday Music Review: Drake, Trey Songz, Melanie Fiona & More
Its Friday and we would like to give you some of our favorite videos and new music that hit the internet this week. Trey Songz and Drake have 2009 on lock and are expected have a successful year in 2010. Finally Trey is coming out of the "underground" r&b scene and is being more recognized. We also have high hopes for Melanie Fiona who has an incredible voice and dropped a new single this week.
"Successful" has been in rotation on the radios in NYC since spring, so it's about time the video dropped! Just like "Best I Ever Had", this video is pretty dumb and doesn't match with they lyrics--but it never hurts to watch two sexy men singing simultaneously :).
Melanie Fiona is finally getting some radio time and recognition in NYC. After seeing her perform many times at venues throughout the city, we are die-hard fans of this beauty that has one of the strongest voices of 2009. Miss. Fiona dropped a single, "It Kills Me" earlier this week.

Chris Brown and his bow tie have been all over the news this week. Breezy teamed up with the vocoder, Lil Bow Wow, and Pleasure P and dropped the single, " Whatever You Like".

The day J. Boog and Lil Feeze released their single, "Bounce", they also made a *surprise* appearance at R&B Live held at BB Kings Monday night. This single is off of the soundtrack Bring It On: Fight To The Finish. It's good to see these two are making a come back from the early 2000's.
For all of our Brooklyn Hip Hop Heads, check out Bekay's debut video for his single "Brooklyn Bridge" featuring Masta Ace and produced by DJ Babu (Dilated Peoples). This is is the first single/video in promotion for the release of his long awaited album, 'Hunger Pains' which drops November 10th, 2009 through Coalmine Records.
As a vocal coach and producer, Rob Lewis has worked on several hit albums, including Diddy's "Press Play" and Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics". Lewis was also featured on MTV's Making the Band with Diddy and pop girl group Danity Kane. He is also responsible for putting the music production together for Toni Braxton's "Revealed" Flamingo Hotel show in Las Vegas.
He is now venturing out on his own to make a name for himself as an artist. His first single, "Brokenhearted", is a soul record that deals with love that's lost because of one's own faults. His debut album, Orchestrator of a Renaissance, set to drop in fall 2009, chronicles the rebirth (renaissance) of his own spirituality and consciousness, and through his musicianship, arranging, song writing and production.
