♫ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: ERIC ARCENEAUX
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 |
Eric Arceneaux - Honestly
Meet Eric Arceneaux. This New Orleans native is “redefining the term, ‘independent artist’ for a new generation”. As the creator of the Arceneaux Approach, he’s also one of the youngest and most successful vocal coaches in the music industry. Earlier this year, he released his debut album, Audio Emotion, an 11-track self-composed and written blend of R&B, pop and blues with live instrumentation.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, Eric and his family were trapped in an attic for three days in temperatures over 100 degrees. Eric not only lost all of his worldly possessions, but he also lost a very close relative. He began a new life in DC, realizing more than ever just how powerful music could be as a means of healing and a way of release.
♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 |
♫ Teairra Mari feat. Pleasure P. - Hunt 4 U (full) - listen
We posted about new Teairra Mari material a couple weeks ago, but here’s a new track from her upcoming album entitled “Hunt 4 U.” Even though I haven’t really been digging the way his label has tried to promote him (with all the fake candid photos, etc.), I am actually digging this song for Teairra. Musically, it’s different from what she was doing on the first album, but I actually think the sound is a lot more mature for her. It’s got that pop potential that she needs to be relevant in music today.
♫ Mims feat. LeToya Luckett - Love Rollercoaster (full) - listen
“This Is Why I’m Hot” rapper Mims is doing his best to make a splash back onto the scene with former Destiny’s Child bandmate, LeToya Luckett, who is also working on a new album to drop sometime in ‘09. Of course, I thought Mims was going to be a one-hit wonder, but it looks as though they labelmates have come together with this new track to begin the promo trail for his new album, which will drop sometime next year. Although it’s not really my cup of tea, I can definitely see this song getting spins. It’s a pretty radio-friendly track. Hopefully it will garner Luckett some buzz too for her new single.
POLITICS: OBAMA SAYS IT’LL GET WORSE BEFORE BETTER / WEEKLY ADDRESS / CONGRESS GETS A RAISE
Monday, December 22, 2008 |
President-elect Barack Obama (pictured at the airport on Saturday catching a flight to Hawaii for winter break) warned on Friday that economic recovery won’t be as fast as he completed his Cabinet, after naming the secretaries of transportation, labor, trade and small business policy.
“It will take longer than any of us would like — years, not months. It will get worse before it gets better. But it will get better if we are willing to act boldly and swiftly,” Obama said — and he promised to do just that.
Obama declined to put a price tag on an economic stimulus plan he will propose, but signaled that it could be huge because of his priorities: creating jobs, getting the economy back on track and fixing financial markets among them. “That is going to cost a significant amount of money on the front end,” he said.
WEEKLY ADDRESS
On Saturday, December 20, 2008, in his weekly address, President-elect Obama introduced the team of men and women who will head up the nation’s major scientific departments.
