What song are you listening to right now??

Nice live version of "How Bizarre" ... it picks up at the 00:58 mark ... rest in peace to the lead singer Pauly ...






On 31 January 2010, Pauly Fuemana died at North Shore Hospital in Auckland after suffering for several years from a chronic degenerative disease, progressive demyelinating polyneuropathy, an auto-immune disorder similar to the nerve disease multiple sclerosis. He was 40 years old, and was survived by his wife and six children. His elder brother Phil had died in 2005 of a heart attack. In February 2010, "How Bizarre" briefly reentered the charts in New Zealand following news of Pauly Fuemana's death.[6][7]









That entire album was pretty good.
Had a nice laid-back vibe.
Especially with Fuemana's vocals and the band's music arrangements.
 
Oddly,
I'm about to head out soon listening to the new Deep Purple, "WHOOSH".
It's been my favorite CD this year.
This has been my song for the last few months.
It crunches.
Ian Gillian's vocals are amazing and FUN!
And I'm a sucker for "Orchestral Strikes" (If you're a Producer/DJ, you know).
I haven't heard a Deep Purple record since "PERFECT STRANGERS".

Starts to pick up just after the 01:10 mark ...

I listen to NPR A LOT!
I get bored with music radio; I'm on the 90 day SiriusXM freebie from my last dealership oil chenge.
Even the music there gets boring. I end up on Urban View talk - Joe Madison, Karen Hunter and them.
ANYWAY, NPR put me on to 2 artists:

Latrell James
Boston based artist who got put on by winning the Cheerios ad music competition















and then yesterday during a BBC America segment they featured this-
What do you say about Korean Seoul Soul music?
After the 3rd play I'm adding this to my driving playlist.

1st version just has CRAZY visual elements.
2nd video shows the band playing LIVE! with lyrics interpreted.
Notice they have 2 bass players.
No need to ask Dr. Truth to translate for us - :giggle:
3rd video if you're wondering if they can get into the groove...:dance: :dance2:








 
Yesss it’s outstanding


He's definitely a serious talent -

Overall, Ne-Yo has received 8 awards from 31 nominations.

Recently, Ne-Yo was honored with four awards at the 2009 ASCAP "Rhythm & Soul Awards." Ne-Yo took home awards for "Closer", "Take a Bow", "Miss Independent", and “Bust it Baby II.”[4]

Aside from working on his own album, Ne-Yo also collaborates with several other artists. His works include: Rihanna's top-ten singles "Unfaithful", "Russian Roulette", and her number-one hit "Take a Bow", Mario Vazquez's "Gallery", Paula DeAnda's "Walk Away (Remember Me)", and Beyoncé Knowles' Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "Irreplaceable", which stayed at the top of the chart for ten consecutive weeks.[67] He wrote the song "I'm You" for Leona Lewis's debut album Spirit, and is currently writing songs for her next album and for the debut album of fellow X Factor winner Alexandra Burke. He has also been working with Sugababes for their seventh album, with member Keisha Buchanan confirming that Ne-Yo had written a song called "No More You" for their album.[68]
