Someone shared this video with me a few days ago. This song is beautiful! "Be Good" is the first video from Jazz singer Gregory Porter's critically acclaimed album of the same name.

Lazy Grey - Stop 'N' Think
This song is from Lazy Grey's 2nd solo album Banned in Queensland. The beat is nice and the lyrics are deep and thoughtful. His accent makes him a little difficult to understand but if you listen carefully, you'll be surprised by his lyrical content. In this song, he discusses his battle with drugs and alcohol. He knows they're destroying his body and mind and getting in the way of his success but he struggles to let it go. A talented young emcee, speaking on a real situation that people live with every day...imagine that! I'm sure you've never heard of him, though.

Little Dragon - After the Rain
Little Dragon is a Swedish electronic band whose lead vocalist is Swedish-Japanese singer, Yukimi Nagano. Yukimi has a smooth, sultry voice that's hard to forget. Their music has a neo-soul vibe similar to artists such as Jill Scott and Erykah Badu. Here is some easy listening to get you into the groove and smooth out your Monday morning.

SBTRKT - Wildfire
SBTRKT (pronounced Subtract) is a London-based producer who lets the music speak for itself. He performs behind a mask every time he plays out. The name SBTRKT came about to create a musical identity separate from any single person. This track features vocals by Little Dragon singer, Yukimi Nagano.
I love the beat and vocals on this track. It just makes me wanna get up and dance. There is a remix that features hip-hop artist Drake but (aside from the beat) it sounds like everything else that comes on the radio. The original rendition feels fresh and creative.

Rhianna Receives Racist Remarks
I recently learned about racial comments that appeared in a Dutch magazine about popular R&B singer Rhianna. Andrea Brown, author of the blog The Uptown Lounge, has a more thorough account of the article. Some of the "highlights" of the write-up refer to Rhianna's shoes as "pornheels" and refer to her as "ghetto a**" and a "n*ggab*tch". Read the entire article here via The Uptown Lounge.
It's sad to learn these types of things are still happening in 2012.
