Sexual Healing: The Marvin Gaye Story (Extended Trailer)
September 20, 2013
This trailer is a stirring first look at the Marvin Gaye biopic “Sexual Healing.” Jesse L. Martin – remember dude from ‘Law & Order’ (without any letters after it)? He’s starring as Marvin Gaye… and on that ‘Law & Order’ vein, Martin’s former ‘L&O’ cast mate S. Epatha Merkerson plays Alberta Gaye. A host of other players put in good work; but the actor playing Marvin’s father – Dwight Henry as Marvin Gaye Sr… whew! The tension!
The biopic video was set to be released April 1, 2014, but funding issues have halted production since June 2013. No word heard on the finishing of this flick yet. We can only hope this work gets done, in the can, and onto the screen soon.

August 26, 2013
Robin Thicke having more fun on the set. This “Give It 2 U” video is on the same vein as that “Blurred Lines” video (which we posted on here) – lotta a sexy (shout out to the Alabama State University Dancing ‘Stingettes’ featured in the video) mixed with a liberal amount of Hip-Hop. 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar rode along on this party track. Respect to director Diane Martel for another great vid: first, “Blurred Lines” and now this one!

Lorde – “Royals” (Weeknd Remix)
August 21, 2013
The first time I heard this song I played it back like a hundred times. This joint is gangsta! This is joint is extremely dope to me musically & lyrically. The Weeknd has a mix of New Zealand songstress Lorde’s track “Royals” with the shots and eagle screeches in there over a nice beat. Don’t know where the original mixing ends and The Weeknd’s remixing begins, but who cares. Press play and rock with this.

R&B: Estelle – “Be In Love” feat. Jeremih
August 20, 2013
As a fan of reggae/dancehall & dub music I can really appreciate when good singers get together over this type of island breezy production. British singer Estelle enlists fellow R&B singer Jeremih to get down with her on this “Be In Love” track from her upcoming “Love & Happiness: Vol. 2 Waiting To Exhale” EP that will be released on her own label imprint New London Records. I’m feeling the latest push by a number of true R&B/Soul singers taking chances with more island style production in their music.
