Miguel’s first single, “All I Want is You” featuring J. Cole took a minute to catch on from tastemaker bloggers to mainstream urban radio but it happened which is a testament to good music and the patience of his label, Jive Records to stick with him. See, not all major labels are the Devil. Some of them still believe in real talent and are willing to see the artist development process through. This is a solid follow-up which hopefully will continue to build the story for this new talent. Y’all dig?

Apparently this is actually not a throwback and is a song by a group from Asbury Park, NJ (yes, as in where ‘The Boss’, Bruce Springsteen is from. Side bar: this might be the only time Bruce Springsteen ever gets mentioned on this blog!)

The number of great soul singers in the T.dot just keeps multiplying!
Here’s another one doing the city proud. I actually thought the first single off this collection, “Voodoo” (track #2) was cool but a little too much of a Janelle Monae knock-off but there’s a couple other real gems on this joint. Tell me track #3, “She” and track #5, “Raindrops” aren’t both AMAZING songs!!!
