O.K, this cat is serrrious! Folks get ready for Ian Kamau , some fine talent here! He does neo-soul,hip-hop and spoken word and sounds similar-ish to Kendrick Lama r. Heh, I didn't see this one coming. I'm already a  fan, where is the CD, when is he coming to Kenya and how much are that tickets? Check him out for yourself. From his bio: My name is Ian Kamau; I am an artist. I believe that my ability to create and communicate is intimately tied to my purpose in life although I am unsure of exactly how. I was born and raised in Toronto to Trinidadian parents who immigrated to North America in 1970. My parents are documentary filmmakers. I grew up around ideas, information and art. Making music has taken me around the world; it has opened doors to experiences I never dreamed I would have and has put me in the position to have conversations with a diversity of dynamic, interesting individuals. I believe in community. My creative life extends to my work in arts-based communi...

"Emotional Rollercoaster" is still such a a great track. I admit, that's the only song of hers I'm familiar with, but I can still attend her concert for that alone. I think I'll get her album(s) and familiarize myself with more of her songs. Plus, the woman is gorgeous, why would I not go!? Capital FM, thankyou for finally bringing good artists to this country. I'm sorry most of these artists that visit don't do it for me, maybe I'm old..lol Date: October 15th, 2011 Venue: Kefit Centre, opposite Belgium Embassy, Limuru Road Time: 7:00 pm Tickets: Ksh 2000 Advance tickets available at Dormans, Yaya, Nakumatt Westgate, Junction & Capital FM offices

Believe it or not I have not thought much of music's quality since the early-mid 90's. Even as a teenager I thought the quality of music had really gone down, and there was not a lot of creativity/effort being put into its making anymore. That's why when I first heard this song I was really blown away and impressed. Even by the time of its release (1997) I felt music was already getting mad lame, that's why it really stood out to me. It is from the Love Jones movie soundtrack which I haven't watched since that period, ( might check that out again:) Anyway this is probably a top 20 song of the 90's for me. Enjoy! (Two things I never knew until this post; I've always thought Randy Jackson  wrote the song, but Van Hunt wrote it, while Randy plays the bass guitar.  Dionne Farris sung for Arrested Development , I didn't know that! cool) If I was a musician serious about my work I wouldn't strive for a song any less than this.

You know me, big Foreign Exchange fan:) Their latest album Authenticity isn't as good as their previous one which saw mad replay on my Zune . (did i mention my lovely Zune died on me some months back! sob) There are some nice cuts(like this one) on it though. Really beautiful woman in the vid by the way, black women rock!:) Previously: The Foreign Exchange - House of Cards
