Saturday Seven (7 Things On My Playlist)

1.Quincy Jones-Soul Bossa Nostra- Q's first "new" music in 15 years finds him looking back and re-doing some of the classic tracks he did for other artists...stand out performances here from Akon,Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend,Mary J. Blige,Bebe Winans,Robin Thicke and Amy Winehouse.

2.Eric Benet-Lost in Time - An excellent outing from Eric Benet...The title is correct, this gem is lost in time...a time when people used to actually write a song, not sample somebody elses and throw a new lyric on it...Play real instruments and actually sing.....This is R&B at it's finest.

3.Ronald Isley- Mr. I - What can I say about a music career that is longer than I've been alive?? Like his song says..They don't make em like you no more!

4.Jazmine Sullivan - Love Me Back - What can I say about "Newwwww Jazmine...."? Nice sophmore effort...The girl got pipes...but there is no one song like "Bust your windows" that jumps out at you...Still Worth a Listen!

5. Chrisette Michelle -Let Freedom Ring!! _ This gal can sangggg, you hear me? She can sing the pages of the telephone book to me...Please buy this! There is a great song called "I don't know why but I do" that features Jazmine Sullivan and John Legend on it. That's worth the entire CD.

6. John Legend and The Roots- Wake Up - What a collaboration!!! Just classic music here redone for a new generation and done well!

7.Kanye West-My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy... I know, I knock Kanye's annoying habit of being annoying in the public...but I can't knock his talent...This is the best hip hop cd of the year in my opinion....
