Song Of The Moment
Jamie Foxx and JT ft. TI 'winner'

@jtimberlake
*I would post the free dl link here, but I don't know if i'm doing something bad..*
Its funny..Because up to this point Jamie Foxx had been losing his touch making silly stupid music and his choice of production was abysmal, he's now going back to what his good at makin that smooth r&b that every lady in the club will feel and not every teenage girl..(No rapage) extending on that, his performance on his last album, judging by the singles...(The useless ones, that means all) he lost his crown as king of r&b because of that..The funny story about this song is as I immediately heard it on the radio I felt it was a great move it showed the brilliance that a lot of the current r&b generation has lacked, although JT has always kept it goin, I felt this is what was missing this 'quality' and the subject matter not extensive or 'extra', but anyway going back to the topic I travelled all the way to choice fm radio station (their old building) in my local area..Borough and was then to discover they were no longer there I was then able to find out from some 'fortunate' black people where it was I then traveled all the way to leicester square and was given a no. to dial every time I dialled no answer (absolutely..long)..I desparately wanted to know this song, but by some hidden blessing I found it out thanks to a 'cd specialist and the fact that it was one one of the best r&b series cd's out, so going on that today I was able to find it and I am blessed..And will listen to it after getting over my tune of the moment, with ne-yo, lets just be...;)

Tune Of The Moment
Let's Just Be
@neyoofficial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV4pmGRcDZI&feature=related
This is the tune i'm listening to at the moment I always leave it on when I pop open my firefox window, and leave it to play..Neyo is the king of r&b for me, because he is always able to bring that old school r&b an articulate it perfectly. He gives that vibe, smooth seductive and brilliant and I love it...I wish this had made it on to the year of the gentleman album, like that 'New Kids On The Block', tune...Its a shame it was sold it was given to Miguel Jontell, who has an almost identical voice to Ne-yo's but in a sense even better it has a 'better body' to it...But going back on that..Ne-yo is my best an fave and i'm just endorsing him for this tune.... I (heart) Ne-yo (big smile :D)

Over
Over
@drakkardnoire
Today I was treated to a glimpse of the drake over video the lighting and setting of the video definitively reflects the mood, quite strongly...The beginning is epic the imagery is brilliant the direction is off the chain, I love the way they place his silhouette with the flames to metaphise, how he feels inside...He has a storm goin on inside, stormy weather the rain clouds of a relationship gone by...Brilliant..The lighting is so full effect and so on point to catch the emotion, for production I'd definitely have to give this song a 9 out of 10...I think one thing that makes drake seem so likeable is he isn't afraid to seem vulnerable ( we like artists that seem 'human', like Lil Wayne...He just puts his feelings out there he finitely does it on this tune...At the first 15, seconds of the vid, the mood an lightin settings definitely reflect the cinematic movie feel to the music an sequence in which it 'integrates,(as we take a trip inside his emotions...) it's definitely a great thing to envision, its like you almost get to 'taste' drakes thoughts and its almost as if your sitting next to him or he's talking to you..the next scene is brilliant as if he's sitting as if he's going on a highroad all to give a visual experience to the musical metaphor and you can see, what he's 'doing' or where he is...Though you could call it cheating because he's just sitting on the bed, so its cheap camera effects, lack of costs for scenery and change of view (I blame young money) since thats his record label and his management since his also signed to them..But I am definitely one for minimal videos and envision them as ways that 'artists' are given a chance to be more 'artistic and express their 'views' or directors...But just as I expected the verse begins in a different room another minimalist opportunity where there Is no background, but this is brilliant, because Directors are being more creative with what they've got, irrespective of the lower budgets..It looks brilliant with the black backdrop and the camera is focused on the 'lone ranger', drake, the lone artist standing alone, I figure scenes like this are so small, maybe they are viewed in the bathroom, or done in a small warehouse...It works brilliantly to cinematic effect...The vid flashes back to him in his room around the 1:13 mark, I take it these are the two scenes chosen for the video and the rest of the effects, are spent on 'duplicating drake'...1:18 I don't know how 'sweetest thing' relates to an 'atomic bomb' but quite interesting, maybe a metaphor of 'addiction' and how his getting his mind blown 1:24 a great moment when it cuts to the next scene an Drake is moving in an almost blur to give that michael jackson 'rock with u' effect to give a visual to the 'flurry' of words, he's 'hitting', the effects and 'duplicates take a good turn for the better and visually the director is using effects to 'full effect' indeed fully using his creativity to its full effectiveness..The best parts are, when they have drake in the sky blue looking room/background and blurring 'effects' // multiplying his image.
The video shows there's much more to it then those two rooms as the scene cuts to drake dressed differently in a different scene, surrounded by 'flurries' of moving people darting at a frantic pace, to symbolise all the 'latecomers'/fakes ('directionless people) the fact that their 'faceless/blurred// ghost 'like' state reinstates the fact of drake not knowing "who the fuck r y'all".
Second verse, the vision with the wordings goes together brilliantly I don't like how the scenes/rooms are linked together on the second chorus, they don't blend well, well I guess they also display different 'persons'/him at different 'stages' of the 'emotion/journey'. The video then though minimal, takes a visual im 'press' and steps up another level visual with the fade/effects/ surroundings/ colours, 2:27 the nigerian? O Kosovan, 'Rita ora' (I thought she was nigerian, the name)...These spaces and room selections/environments are visually crafted well and well shot these pieces go together very well, the way the woman is blurred in the background is almost as if an image of the 'groupies' tempting him and throwing it in his face, but more closer to it being about drake 'him doin him'/thinkin out loud
and being a representation of his 'contemplative thoughts'/ the thoughts in his head, 2:48 reminds me a lot of 'doa' visually and also how the glass breaks.
On the 3rd verse the 'multiply' effects in the blue room step up another level and get even better, rita ora is a bad actress, her facial expressions, aren't convincing... The flashes on the blue scene with the blur an imagery are the most magical and brilliant effects known to man/in this video..As the video progresses towards the end it gets better and better was gonna give this a 7 but will move it to an 8 the video ends with drake doin 'him' an his girl leaves him as thats the life he chose to pursue, (the hoe always stays in the background though he looks at her he keeps his back to her.."they tell me that they love me, i know better then that its game, its just what come with the fame, and i'm ready for that i'm just saying" )living somewhere in between the groupies and 'u' (his girlfriend)making for that space in the middle, his space, him, hence him doin 'him'. The video ends as drakes 'journey'beings, "its far from over"...
Flow/delivery/ 7/10 though I like his flow on here i ain't the 'biggest' fan of drake (or his voice, but every time I view this video I'm liking it more, 'silent .5')
Video: 7.5/8 out of 10
Production 9/10 The production lends itself to a great chorus which makes for the greatest thing,
your ears have ever seen, the usual from drake...
Overall 8/10

Enza
Curently reviewing...Smiler (enza)
@smilermusic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3__XM--uqRE
Two weeks back an the smiler enza video was released I had the pleasure of seeing him perform initially before this on iluvlive I was, I must say vividly entertained, though, it has been said for some, the live performance, takes something out of the single, depending on what you've heard first, for me, the live performance was a spoiler, although you can see the strong points of the single/his performance, he has a unique coolness about him, (no chipmunk) he also has his own style the flow was on point and he did it in a way that kept one entertained (referring back to performance) in light of the single though. Without comparing it directly to his live performance it is quite a single and a way to start your career as a rapper its definitely not soft, but its far from a "pretentious" song, neither do I feel like he's being something that he's not, like some uk artists, his definitely let it flow vividly and its been an 'organic' production, I must say...
When live..
When live the intro is epic and has that kind of 'feel' to it, you really feel the silence or the space as the track begins the guy on the guitar, definitely killed what he was doin and of course smiler shined on it, he didn't look 'false' and his swagger came across immaculate, lyrical content initially you might not say its the most lyrical but after five seconds of listening the way he delivers it and his flow convinces you...This is a lyrical Abolishment...The attitude is definitely there i rate smiler as a 5 star mc, judging on this performance, now back to the track...
The Song/Vid
Smiler has a youthful energetic voice, the vid starts with the smiler logo, it then goes into the crazy drums that they use in this vid, known for that uk grime ukish sound, they definitely smahed the drums on this..The flow and delivery is reticient of capone of 'capone n noreaga'
i like the energy and feel to the track and the way he approached it.. *sidenote*I did think the 'loafers' looked silly ..But, it doesn't matter, the drums are very infective on this track and i think the samples for drums provide the most effective part of a production he as definitely murdered these and the intensity is on point to full effect, definitely a modern feel to the production..The flash with the white woman with blonde hair, wasn't the best 'flash view'..The pool scene is definitely on point ..The video is overall very smooth, with good colour and trasitioning between scene, the production quality definitely went through the roof for that one..The colours are well balanced with not too many darks or lights, to fit the mood of the video
OVerall the song is an A+
8/ 10 for the song
9/10 for the vid
9/10 for the production, the beat is an absolute smash! those drums are enough to sell me! you can call me biased because I love drums but it definitely gives the full effect in this vid
7/10 for lyrical content, this is a very 'political' question you can't really say whether its a 'lyrical' song or not...But I love it
Overall I give it 8/8.5 out of 10...
