Boyz II Men - "Underwater + Diamond Eyes + Better Half + Losing Sleep"

Taking a different approach to their usual style of music, Shawn, Wanya, and Nathan embark in a sort of unique directions with their upcoming album "Collide" set to October 21st. A part of me wishes for the days they collaborated with Babyface when they made them timeless, classic R&B joints. But that's just my personal preference. Check out their latest 4 tracks off the album right here and tell us what you think.

"The experimental album, described as a fusion of rock, pop and funk with classic R&B, has "a very big sound" Stockman says. It's "a landmark album for us not only because it contains some new stylistic elements, but also because it is a reflection of exactly who we are now."

Willie Green - "A Suite For Souled People"

The recent events in Ferguson, Missouri (as well as Staten Island, Beavercreek, Ohio, and Los Angeles) have lifted a veil of comfortable ignorance across this country. The murder of Michael Brown, resultant cover up and egregious treatment of protesters has shown that the perception of Black people in America has changed little since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. Americans live in a country where the oppressed are dehumanized and told to be quiet and gracious about their anger; and where the oppressors are harbored by our government and rewarded by our peers. Where the media warps facts to prove agendas against citizens and digital voices rush to play devil’s advocate to conceal their own bias. These are terrifying statements and not exaggerations. I’m no revolutionary. But I am someone who wants to look his children in the eyes and say when his country showed its worst, he did something.

 - Paul “Willie Green” Womack, Sept. 15th, 2014

What I'm Watching: L'Orange - "Need You" feat. Blu

Amazing!

A post-apocalyptic Adam & Eve story...



Director's Note - "As a multi-media artist coming from a back ground in performance and video art, the first time I heard L'Orange's "Need You" I was struck with the songs dichotomy of beauty and melancholy.I wanted to create a world, a universe where this song could live and breathe to reveal and tease out the tension of these themes . The gorgeous ebbs and flows of the song partnered with the rhymes of Blu push the boundaries for the possibilities for imagery. With the amazing space of Murphy's Ranch practically in my back yard I was inspired to develop a post apocalyptic Adam and Eve story that again would play off of the themes of beauty and melancholy. Creating a more cinematic and filmic treatment allowed for collaboration with fellow artists to explore this post apocalyptic world where choosing life may mean choosing death." - EmaLee Arroyo
