Album Review: "CiCi (Deluxe)" by Ciara

Can you believe that her record label did not believe in her signature song "Promise"? Yes label heads told Ciara that the song was not a hit but little did they know that the record would become one of the defining songs of 2000s R&B. This revelation and more were discussed by Ciara as she made her media rounds to promote her seventh studio album simply titled "Cici". Back to the shocking news mentioned before, Ciara told of how she went against the wishes of the label, released "Promise" and even paid for the video out of her own pocket. This story highlights her determination to do what she loves which is to make music and entertain the world. It is such a passion for her that she has decided to forgo the support of a major record label and release her music independently and has had major success even with all the naysayers and obstacles that has been placed in her way. Let us be real! Ciara is an icon and does not need to prove anything especially since he has that fine ass husband and her eleven children (I'm being hyperbolic!) at home. Yet, she puts on her dancing shoes and gives us a show from time to time and I and most music lovers will not complain. So with that in mind let us see what she has in store for us with her newest release!

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
