e.review of the day..

I am always amazed at my good friend's insitence on Listening to the mainstram of mainstream music - top forties type music. I mea doesnt she get the same buzz from experiencing something others dont even know exist?? I mean i think thats probly why i dig underground hip-hop or soul.... My friend thinks i'm jumping on the popular university student trend of counter-culture: conforming to non-conformance.

Interesting hypothesis, but its beside the point..I write to introduce to the next big thing in R&B. My hope is that he doest get marginalized to the mainstream, but given his appeal, its only inevitable. John Legend is the chosen one, why lie. First time i heard him crooning on 'used to love u' I wasnt ati moved, but i was curious. After listening to the rest of his album a few weeks ago , that was it. He's got the Denis seal of approval. Vocal prowess, Lyrical content(hes a song writer), and general vibe(you know its a winner when u find yourself trying to figure out the words of the track in the shower). Highly recommended listen for anyone who appreciates non-mainstream music.

This is not just any seal btw..same seal that 'discovered'(haha a few months after clive davis i guess) Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, and Kanye waaay before they became the musical icons that they are today.

He's so good, I'm actually going to BUY his CD. enuff said..skiza some snippets of this guys talent here.
