Can we get three mmph’s for sexy azz Tiara Thomas in her “Best Kept Secret” video?

Case – “Shook Up” (Video)

Lotta hub-bub made about Deangelo’s return and his LP’s heralding of the return of real R&B. Respect, respect. However, loyal follower of the Force, you know that good R&B hasn’t gone anywhere. We spotlight artists up next, as well as the R&B vets over here. Like this Case jawn – “Shook Up” – which is out as a single on iTunes now. But… you’ll have to wait until March 31, 2015, to get that as part of the “Heaven’s Door” LP (just saying).

R&B: The Internet – “Girl” (Prod. By Kaytranada)

Now… this is pretty nice. Maybe you heard this on BBC One Radio. If not, you’re about to hear it here first and go searching for the rest of the set. Kaytranada laid the track. Syd Tha Kid laid on top of it with some smooth crooning. Done deal. Enjoy!

R&B: Raheem DeVaughn – “Temperature’s Rising”

Confession: You could overdose on Raheem DeVaughn posts on this site. Just saying. That said, here’s why: DeVaughn has consistently dropped the smoothest brand of R&B that is not appreciated by nearly enough. We correct that oversight over here. “Temperature’s Rising” has you thinking about that R. Kelly line huh? Yeah, you keep thinking that… and press play.

From the new album ‘Love, Sex, Passion’ available February 17th, 2015.

Oh, you can pre-order the album at the link here.

R&B/Soul: Stacy Barthe – “Live For Today” feat. Common

Definite soul with intermittent Hip-Hop – today’s forecast for this dope storm moving through your system as soon as you hit play. Stacy Barthe does her thing, like always. But adding Common is how you add a head nod to the body rock you are about to indulge in. Go ‘head. You can play this “Live For Today” now.

R&B: The Weeknd – “Earned It” (Video) [NSFW]

Is… is he singing to that woman’s tit…? See what happens when you fall through for the nooner? Let the Weeknd start your weekend right? You “Earned It” (this video for the first single off the “50 Shades Of Grey” movie soundtrack, that is).

Before you press play: You see it’s marked, Not Safe For Work” right?

Lifetime: Whitney (Biopic)

Screenshot 2015-01-19 04.22.46

Have you heard the talk yet? Yeah you have. Good or bad… you have likely heard something about (and formed an opinion on) the Angela Bassett-directed biopic “Whitney.” Well…Have you watched it yet? If not, we got it for you. Catch it on Lifetime Network (click the pic above or the link below).

Watch the full movie Whitney, starring Yaya DaCosta. Chronicles the headline-making relationship between Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown from the time they first met to their courtship and tumultuous marriage.

 LIFETIME: WHITNEY (BIOPIC)

R&B: Ne-Yo – “Coming With You” (Video)

Definite banger for the dance clubs worldwide. Can see this “Coming With You” by Neyo jumping off internationally easily. Nice scenery in this vid, too though. Lots of eye candy featured at a day (and night) at the beach. The single is off Neyo’s forthcoming “Non-Fiction” LP (due out on iTunes on January 27, 2015). You can put your order in (and get some tracks) now via the link below.

R&B: D’Angelo – She’s Always In My Hair (14KT Remix)

Nah, not yet HouseShoes. What’s up though?

I’ve been holding onto this for damn near two years.
A lot on deck from 14KT and Street Corner this year.
Stay tuned.
HouseShoes

Well, well. A remix of “She’s Always In My Hair” from D’Angelo… by 14KT… nice. Thanks.

John Legend – “Glory” feat. Common (Video)

Freedom is a religion to us… When it go down, woman and man up!
Common

There have certainly been times when the music made the movie. Now, while “Selma” has a powerful enough historical civil rights story to tell in itself, a powerful John Legend song (featuring Common) can only enhance the experience. Watch the video. It is not a trailer, but the visuals may make you want to see this in theaters all the more.

Ameriie – “Mustang”

It’s Ameriie with an extra ‘i’ now? Well, Dionne Warwick played around with her name too. Okay, I guess. As long as the music is still fi-yaaah, who cares, right?

(And Miss A being hella sexy doesn’t hurt at all!)

Listen to “Mustang” on the ‘Cloud stream above.

Jeremih Returns On The Bus Through His Chicago Neighborhood (Video)

Incredible. Jeremih was steady going to school, just living day-to-day on the Southside of Chicago… and already had the hit record! In this vid, J takes us back to his old stomping grounds. We meet his family, walk through his old hood, and end up catch the same bus he used to catch.

(Footnote: He hasn’t rode a bus since.)

Good viewing. Hit play.

R&B: Poo Bear – “Work For It” feat. Tyga x Justin Bieber (Video)

Yep. I’ve posted his music before. And as long as Pooh Bear keeps putting ’em out like this… will continue to do so. Good music, this “Work For It” (featuring Tyga). Lots of pop star cameo power dropped in this visual, too. Can’t hate the player for that, right? Ha.

(And the Eye Candy in there. Nice. Won’t hate the player for that!)

R&B/Soul: Stacy Barthe – ‘Angel’

It’s not every day a relatively new artist can successfully execute a remake of a classic song. Stacy Barthe is not your everyday singer & songwriter so I knew she would kill this cover of one of Anita Baker’s signature records. I’m definitely a fan of Stacy Barthe’s music so it’s a dope surprise she has more amazing work coming with her first official major release. She’s signed to John Legend’s new label ‘Homeschool’ & the new project ‘BEcoming’ due next year in 2015. Check out snippets of the upcoming album after the jump below….

Wale feat. Jeremih – “The Body” (Video)

Brand new video for metro D.C. area native Wale’s new single ‘The Body” featuring the most in demand Chicago singer Jeremih. I’ve said it hundreds of times before that Jeremih’s unique voice & sound has been helping many of his collaborators crank out hit singles.  Artists have been getting more assists from him than Chris Paul in a Clippers game.  I’m definitely digging the classy vibe & look of this new clip. Look for Wale’s new project ‘The Album About Nothing” to drop March 31st 2015.
