Keeping It Real

This post goes out to two amazing artists that came out with two amazing songs (both at different years) but have kept on going through the years.

First I want to highlight Jill Scott with a track off her first album "Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1" titled "He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat)". This song is R&B at its best, I can honestly say that there is no other R&B song that moves me more than this song followed by Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor". Take a listen for yourself!

The second highlight goes to Raphael Saadiq and his new album titled "The Way I See It". The entire album is extremely innovative and fresh...it is what I think Solange Knowles attempted to do, but Raphael executed it with class and sass. The key track on this album is "Keep Marching (Clown With No Makeup)". I must admit that I was drawn to this track after a colleague mentioned that some people were acting like clowns with no makeup, so I decided to take a listen, purchased the album on iTunes and I have been playing this CD on heavy rotation since that day.
