Atlanta’s R&B artist Bobby V takes it ‘Back To Love’ with this impressive new single off of his upcoming “Peach Moon” EP due in the coming months. This is the type of R&B that’s missing these days so it’s actually refreshing hearing artists not overly compromise what real R&B should be & feel like. In fact that’s what’s been missing from most of the R&B songs released these days – The “LOVE” element. Let’s get ‘Back To Love’ indeed….

R&B/Soul: Eric Lau – “Where To Go Now” feat. Tawiah
I’ve become a fan of DJ & producer Eric Lau’s work over the past several years after initially discovering his music. Whenever he drops something new I know without fail I can ALWAYS expect quality work. This new joint featuring the talented UK based soul singer Tawiah called “Where To Go Now” is the second single from his upcoming project “One Of Many” due June 17th. His equally as hot first single “Everytime” we had posted just a few weeks back in case you missed it. London-based singer Tawiah has been releasing some great music on her own that we’ve posted previously so discovering this new collaboration with Eric Lau was a no-brainer that the end result would be nothing short of special. I’m sure this is just “One Of Many” of the great musical pieces Tawiah & Eric Lau have coming our way. For now go ahead get cop the FREE download of the new single below.

R&B/Soul: Glenn Lewis – ‘Can’t Say Love’
Recently I was speaking with a friend about great contemporary soul artists & Toronto singer Glenn Lewis’s name had come up. His now classic “Don’t You Forget It” & “Simple Things” , & “Good One” are just a few of my favorites. It got me to wondering where the brotha was with the new music lately. Seems like a higher power may have overheard our conversation as some new music from the T.Dot singer just dropped. Glenn Lewis new lead single “Can’t Say Love” is from of his upcoming album “Moment of Truth” (due out August 20, 2013). Lewis’ track orchestrated by CertiFYD Production Group. Good heartfelt, soulful offering to get the fans back right…

The world famous DJ Jazzy Jeff returns with episode 9 of his Vinyl Destination series. In this segment Jazzy Jeff & his crew are embarking on the last week of their world tour but this leg finds them in Europe hitting up Norway, Sweden, Ireland, & Germany where they just so happen to also bump into R&B singer Estelle. A few other hilarious situations occur when DJ Jazzy Jeff’s emcee Skillz speaks of a wild fan who have Ruff Ryders tattoo next to his pubic hairs while another fan sports a rainbow-colored Wu-Tang Clan logo on his chest. Not to mention the team discovering some random dude in their hotel lobby watching gay porn in public view. This is truly different in Europe indeed….

Atlanta based shining star Janelle Monáe is gearing up to release her new project “The Electric Lady” this year.
