Marsha Ambrosius Announces New Album!!

Are you excited about the new Marsha Ambrosius album as much as I am? I'm so excited! If you were a fan of or heard of the group called Floetry, then you know Marsha from her singing. She logged on to her Twitter page on yesterday and announced that she will have a new album, "Friends & Lovers," for release on July 15th! The album is also up for preorder very soon (in a few days).

The first single from the album is "Stronger" featuring Dr. Dre. I haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure it will be a really good song. Marsha is an excellent song writer and I went to buy her last album, "Late Nights and Early Mornings" as soon as I could. 

I'm thinking this album is going to be full of love and sexiness that she is known to do so well. ...even more than her debut album. It's been a few years since she released new music, so I'm excited to see how she's grown as a solo artist. I know I won't be disappointed! Of course I will post a review of the album once I hear it.

New Music! "Kingdom" by Common

Common just released a new single today titled, "Kingdom" featuring Vince Staples. It's been a whole since we've heard from him. From the preview on iTunes, it sounds like Common changed his sound a little and is starting to be more proactive in his music. It sounds like something Nas would write at first listen. I'm excited for the upcoming album. 

Sza, The First Lady of TDE

Let me start off by saying, I love Sza. She is gorgeous and very talented. Why isn't she as popular as she should be? I don't know. That's why I decided to write about her and the music. If you are a fan of Kendrick Lamar, you know he is affiliated with TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment).. that's a good start. Well, Sza is the first lady of TDE (as I like to call her); meaning she is the only woman who has a record deal under TDE. 

Sza has done some work with Kendrick Lamar and other artists, but I discovered her through the "Teen Spirit" music video uploaded to YouTube that so happened to grace my timeline on Twitter. I clicked on the video and I lost my mind! She is so talented. If you haven't heard of the song, go check it out on YouTube! I tried to find the song everywhere so I could download it and I didn't have any luck. 

Thankfully, to my surprise she released her first album, "Z" a few months later and I was blown away. I saw her album on iTunes and I was too excited than I needed to be at 2am in the morning. The album includes 10 songs and is 41 minutes long. If you haven't heard her album, you are missing out! I'm guessing their may be another album around somewhere since this album is titled, "Z." There must be an "S!" ...or she just titled the album"Z" because it's cool. Either way, I love the album and I think it should be heard by all. Of course Kendrick Lamar is featured on the album. There are also other artists like Isaiah Rashad and Chance the Rapper. I like how she does not sing the typical songs we are used to black female artists singing. She gives us a good sample of multiple sounds that would appeal to a variety of individuals. It's so out of the box and unique. I highly recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear a refreshing and unique sound that Sza can only create!
