Chrisette Michele is Back!

Ok so, Chrisette Michele has dropped her sophomore album "Epiphany" this past Tuesday. Finally!!! I have waited ever so patiently for this album. I don't think you guys understand. So for those of you who fell in love with her soulful singing style on the first album "I Am"(like I did), this album is a quite satisfying second scoop of musical delight.

Collaborating with Neyoooooo!? Yes great choice indeed. Neyo and the renown Chuck Harmony (who has worked on projects with Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson and Celine Dion by the way) worked to put this pleasing puzzle of soul, pop, catchy melodies and fresh lyrics together. And you know you cant have Neyo co-produce an album without him hopping on it. Hence the track "What You Do" with a smooth piano/ synth beat, and all the fixins' of a Neyo creation.

You can hear the change of maturity from the Chrisette on "I Am" to "Epiphany's" Miss Chris. This new album screams "I am woman, now you can either roar with me or step aside". Which nowadays, as a woman in today's society, is how we need to be. The perfectly timed album release allows for this to be a nice summer jam for the ladies.

My favorite song on the album is "Blame it all on me". So many women get in to bad situations and aren't able to just say "you know what!? Blame it all on me, I don't care what you say just go!" A very different attitude from "I Am" where she was broken hearted but still holding on in hopes of rekindling. (A great album nonetheless) I can actually say proudly that I can listen to Epiphany straight through, which is rare for me with today's music.

Case and point: Ciara's album "Fantasy Ride" also dropped May 5. Not so much a straight listen with this one. There are a few decent songs like "Love and Sex and Magic" and "Never Ever". But they were both featuring heavy hitters Justin Timberlake and Young Jeezy. I would have to say that my favorite song on the album is "Like A surgeon". It has a real "promising" (no pun intended...ok yea it was) feel to it. Its very clever in terms of analogy and it kind of makes you want to play doctor, a little.

Not bad, I just think it could have been a little better. Ciara! Super Ci! wherever you are! I know you can do better! I have faith in you! Nonetheless, much respect to both ladies for producing albums in such an Internet happy society. Real musicians are the last of a dying breed. Its sad I know. Keep working hard ladies!

Love Ya! (*v*)

SMHRH!.....shaking my head really hard.....Boys Are dumb! We need men...i think

Ok so....a friend of mine (Friend A) is dealing with a guy who is for lack of better words a deadbeat thug. I don't like him. period. It turned out that he had another one of our friends' (Friend B) number in his cell phone and he had been texting her. Sham on you. You should know that when you are "talking" to a girl you do not text and have private conversation with any of her friends. Maybe it would be okay if you knew the other friend before you got involved but this is not the case.

So friend A tells me whats up and I just tell her to ask him what the deal is. THAT IS ALL I SAID! Besides the fact that in one of his texts he calls friend B "Scoob" which in to me is not common terminology for friend, buddy or pal, so therefore it constitutes as a nickname. But I said i don't know, just ask him.

He says he got friend B's number so he could know where the parties are. (Bull because if u really wanted to know you could have asked friend A and she could have found out). So then he goes and texts friend B in hopes of her showing friend A and friend A getting mad. WTF!? How much sense does that make?? None. Exactly.

So then, I get an facebook message from what appears to be from friend A!! Turns out it is from this guy, who is apparently messaging me while friend A is not in the room. Facebook really need to add a spell check application...smh. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER BEFORE READING HIS MESSAGE:

This guy writes:

"Wush goodie scoob. . . . no need 4 an intro, u already. .. n e waze i have a question in which i dnt want an answer 2, u kan keep it..... kan a ni**a have female friends witout havin ppl like yall investigatin hum? Wit out havin any type of mis-consumption (dont you mean misconception scoob?), and/0r mis-understandin (whats with the hyphens?). . . if yall not fully aware of the situation it's not safe to come up wit out-rageous conclusions... u feel me scoob. .. think bout a resonable answer dat reflects the question itself n not juss u... n let it register in ya mind.......have a gud one." (just grammatical eye sores for a writer..im sorry)

WHAAAAAAAAAAT??? If you weren't doing anything wrong "Mr. Scoob" then why in the heck are you explaining yourself to me!? I did not tell her to stop "talking" to you. Well...now I have because you're "freakin nuts"!! She asked my opinion and all I did was give it. So you have a good one "Mr. Scoob the Facebook Thug".....smh

Ladies the bottom line is:

And when they do the stupid things that they do you just have to:

Love y'all lol (*v*)
