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?

It’s been a loooong time since Jamiroquai was the coolest thing going in music but you know what – I wouldn’t have put money down on it, but his new album, Rock Dust Light Star actually sounds pretty good! Check out a stream of it below courtesy Gun Sin:
After the jump, watch videos from the album for “White Knuckle Ride” and “Blue Skies.” (more…)
Some soothing acoustic soul for Sunday. Directed by Chris Strikes. On a side note: this girl looks so much like an ex-girlfriend of mine, it’s scary.

Not sure this is actually still a preview? The Nothing album by Pharrell & co.’s N*E*R*D crew might actually be already out by now?? Thanks to Kid Valor for setting up the stream. Seriously, the album sounds FANTASTIC!
(If this goes down, you can stream the album over at Rhapsody)
