Love muffins, I chose Aaron Hall’s ‘I Miss You’ because this song is for anyone that has truly lost someone that they loved dearly. You can really feel the emotion in this song.

Flashback Video: You

Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Hope it takes you back.

Flashback Video: Sade

Oh My Sunday! I woke up this morning in a Sade kinda mood. I played her greatest hits CD and knew I had to post one of her songs for my love muffins. There were plenty of her popular songs that I could have chosen but I’ve always been a fan of the more obscure. Although this song was as popular as some of her others (Kiss Of Life, Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King, etc.), this is probably my favorite song of hers. While the Lyrics are simple, they say so much!

I won’t pretend that I intend to stop living
I won’t pretend I’m good at forgiving
But I can’t hate you
Although I have tried
MMMM

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
MM MM MM MM MM

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It’s all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It’s gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow

And just for kicks, here is one of favorite renditions done by Rahsaan Patterson (if you don’t know who he is, you’re really missing out). To remake such a classic song is difficult but he’s the only one I’ve heard that has done it justice and made it his own. I’ve ripped the audio into an mp3 if you like what you hear. Check it out!

Flashback Video “Something In My Heart”

I absolutely love this song. It brings back so many memories. Michel’le was unique because when she used her speaking voice she sounded like she had been sucking on a helium balloon but when she sang, she had such a big voice. Hope you enjoy the flashback.

Taylor Dayne is back! Known for her amazing vocals and hit records, Taylor Dayne has sold over 75 million abums and singles worldwide and has had ten Top 10 its including “Tell It To My Heart,’ and “Love Will Lead You Back,” (one of my favorite songs and it’s video is featured below) three Grammy nominations, and two sold-out world tours!

I have listened to a special copy of Taylor Dayne’s new highly-anticipated studio album, to be released February 5th on Intention Music and let me just say it’s a must have!

Flashback Video: The Wind Beneath My Wings

Bette Midler’s number-one single “Wind Beneath My Wings” from the soundtrack of the film Beaches is simply one of favorite songs ever! This song which was named “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year” at the 1990 Grammy Awards never fails to touch me no matter how many times I have heard it.

Amel Larrieux’s “Weary” Sums Up…

…exactly how I feel sometimes especially on raining days like yesterday (and yes it rains in Southern California from time to time)! Take me higher lord, please send me a good man soon!

Flashback Video: Missy Elliot - The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)

Missy Elliot’s “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” off her debut 1997 album, Supa Dupa Fly, has to be one of my favorite songs and videos of all time, enjoy!

Alicia Keys: Stripped, Raw, and Real

I know it’s a lot of music post right now but what can I say, I’m in a musical mood. Anyway, A couple of months ago, Alicia Keys did a show for Clear Channel Entertainment called “Stripped, Raw and Real” where she performed 6 songs in promotion of her new album. I got my hands on the mp3s from that show and they were really good quality so I thought I’d share. My favorite song of the night was her rendition “Tender Love” (A cover of the Force MD’s classic for all my 80s music fans out there). She had me worried with her cover of The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” but Ms. Keys has totally redeemed herself with this one. Her version is just amazing.

One-hit wonder Uncle Sam also did a version of Tender Love that I used to have on repeat while in boarding school. Ahhh the memories. If you don’t remember who Uncle Sam is, he’s the guy who sang “I Don’t Ever Want To See You Again”.

Uncle Sam - Tender Love (Cover)

And we must never forget the original song sung by Force MD’s and written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The video looks corny now but trust me, it’s a classic. Where are all my 80’s fans?
