What EMS Is Listening To ... Ray LaMontagne - Crazy (original by Gnarls Barkley)
As you should know by now, I love throwing in those curve balls on TMB every now and then and this weekend, I'll be throwing in a few. But I'd like to start off with RayLaMontagne. I don't know if this particular audience (meaning, you avid TMB followers) have ever heard of him, but he's a super dope musician. Absolutely love the grit and passion in his voice when he sings. I caught this song he did from my home girl @KeviaValentina. LaMontagne does a cover of "Crazy" originally by Gnarls Barkley. Suffice it to say, I dig the acoustic version.
Enjoy.

Miss Special has become a regular contributor to the site with her fresh interviews from her show Special Sundays, based out in Cali. Recently she linked up with TMB favorite Signif. And wait, did I get a shout out in the interview? Ha! Anyway, I'll let Miss Special take it from here ...
Here is my interview with Signif. We spoke about her degree, her previous projects, working with Haz Solo, her new project with producer Gee Wiz: "Significant Wizdom"; who came up with the title, the guest appearances and visions behind the songs. She also talks about the videos coming up, "becoming a Muslim" when she does music and what's next for her, including the new double disc album.(via @MiSS1SPECiAL)
