Love can be a very strange thing. It can bring polarizing individuals together for a common mission that is often greater then themselves. For the case of Candice Anitra and Mustafa Effortless, the unifying force of love and music has brought together a left-of-soul songstress and a consciousness-raising emcee to create The Love Machine Project. With their blend of Tina-Turner-meets-Guru alien pop, here is their first single “Love Machine” from the cosmically created EP, The Love Machine Project scheduled for release June 4th. Tell us what you think?
India.Aire is back and hasn’t missed a beat with her new single, “Cocoa Butter” from her upcoming fifth studio album SongVersation due for release on June 25 on Soulbird/Motown Records.
If satin had a sound, this would be it. Chrisette Michele AMAZES on this track. Lately the use of samples in music have signified laziness and a lack of creativity on the part of some of these artists, but this is definitely NOT the case here. The O’Jays’ “Stairway to Heaven” track was already certified smooth many years ago and Chrisette Michele breaks her vocals down, builds them back up and flips them over to it– seemingly with no effort. “A Couple of Forevers” is right up there with the excellence that Luther Vandross gave us when he covered a song. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
