Music Is... Fall Out Boy "Sugar We're Going Down"

Another Fall Out Boy joint. I love the melody of this song, particularly the bridge for some reason. The lyrics have some real vulnerability to them. Come on, "I'm a notch in your bedpost..." or "Wishing to be the friction in your jeans." If that isn't honesty I don't know what is. I also like the way the lyrics bounce along the beat at times. For example where Patrick sings "Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet", the way it parallels the drums are perfect. Anywho, enjoy :)

Music Is... Kenna "Say Goodbye To Love"

A good ol' track produced by The Neptunes, Chad more specifically if I'm right. This track is from his 06'-07' album "Make Sure They See My Face". Anywho, I liked it when I first heard it and I still do. Do enjoy if you choose.

Music Is... Robin Thicke "Wanna Love U Girl" (Feat. Pharrell)

Released March 21, 2006 - Get it

Boy, you could've told me this wasn't my joint. I loved this song from the moment I heard it. I know it wasn't that long ago but, this is a classic for me.

Music Is... Stevie Wonder "You Haven't Done Nothin'"

Mom mom and I have been bumpin' this like crazy over the past week or so. Made in 1974 form his 12th album "Fulfillingness' First Finale", "You Haven't Done Nothin'" is a very profound song and heavy on the political scene. The lyrics truly say all that needs to be said. Seems like only Stevie could create such a funky funk song and it contain such deep meaning.

Here it goes...

Music Is... The Spinners - It's A Shame

I was watching Unsung with my mom and the episode was based on The Spinners. It's funky because before this song was mentioned, I just started singing it, asking my mom if she knew it. She didn't to my surprise, the way she knows nearly every song on the face of this earth. So, as the episode progressed, the song surfaced, and I was just kept saying that I had the feeling they sung it originally. I learned though, that it was written or initially intended for Stevie Wonder but, it was just shelved for a while. "It's A Shame" became their breakout hit in the 70's. A classic no doubt.

Please enjoy.

I chose the Essentials mp3 format at ramdom but, there are plenty to choose from.

Music Is... One my favorite singles: Jon B. "They Don't Know"

I need to review this entire album but, for now I'll let cha' hear one of my favorite songs on this planet. Jon B.. Man has a super smooth voice. It only hit me about two or three days ago to dig him up again. It's funny how songs go in rotation in your head. Hmm, thinking of the mind as a playlist there's no telling how many songs we have listed in the cranium. Anywayz, "They Don't Know" was a major hit from his 1997 release "Cool Relax". I love it. Makes me think warm, go figure.

Relax...
