BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: EDMONIA LEWIS

Thursday, May 22, 2008 |

Edmonia Lewis (1845?-1911?) was the first Black female sculptor to gain fame and recognition.

Born Mary Edmonia Lewis on July 14, 1845, to a black father and part American Indian, Lewis was raised as a Mississauga Indian with the culture and values of the Chippewa Nation after her parents died when she was around ten. She and her brother were known as Wildfire and Sunrise, respectively.

Her brother financed her prep school education with wealth from the California Gold Rush, and also an education at Oberlin College beginning in 1859. While there, she excelled at drawing. When a teacher at Oberlin lost some paintbrushes, Lewis was accused of the theft. She was also accused of attempted murder when two girls fell ill after drinking mulled wine, which Lewis allegedly served them. Although acquitted of both charges, she was not permitted to graduate.

♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Thursday, May 22, 2008 |

♫ Usher - Revolver (full) - listen
Here’s a bonus track from Usher’s upcoming release, Here I Stand which will hit stores next Tuesday. I’m loving his vocal delivery on the song, as well as the production, but it’s something about Usher’s material that I’m just not getting. I haven’t really liked much of the writing that I’ve heard on the album. This song is very well put together, and actually fits in well with the rest of the album. If you’re digging, pick up your copy on the 27th.

♫ LL Cool J feat. Lil’ Mo - I Cry (full) - listen
Check out this new track from LL Cool J’s next album, Exit 13, which is set to hit stores July 8th. LL Cool J seems back to be going back to his old sound with this new track, but it’s funny - it sort of reminds me of Ja Rule’s song, of the same title, which also shares the same collaborator, Lil’ Mo, whose last album didn’t do so well. Exit 13 will be LL Cool J’s final album on Def Jam. Did anyone remember Todd Smith?

♫ HOT OR NOT: SOLANGE’S “SANDCASTLE DISCO”

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 |

SOLANGE KNOWLES - SANDCASTLE DISCO

Solange is gearing up for the release of her video for the first single off her sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dream. In the mean time, music has been leaking from the project and it’s getting me super excited. After hearing a couple of tracks, I just realize that Solange is really just trying to bring something new, different and fresh. Something that people just wouldn’t expect from her.

On “Sandcastle Disco,” Solange explores a little bit of ’60’s and ’70’s soul and dance/electronica music. Solange compares her fragile emotions to a sandcastle, pleading her love not to “blow her away.” A very interesting concept. It’s got a really feel-good vibe to it. But what do you think?

SO, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT “SANDCASTLE DISCO?”

  • HOT (39%, 1,991 Votes)
  • IT’S COOL (33%, 1,680 Votes)
  • NOT (28%, 1,400 Votes)
