[Review] Ariana Grande Delivers unto us "Problem" Pt. 2 with "Focus"!!!



Ariana Grande returns from the wilderness with the first taste from her third album, Moonlight. Brave lady. She obviously didn't get the memo of a certain someone else returning and reserving the throne until mid-quarter 2017.

[Review] Kelly Rowland Makes A Bad Choice With Returning Single, "Dumb"


Kelly Rowland returns with (potentially) the first offering from her fifth album. Y'all excited?

Titled Dumb, its name is actually an accurate descriptor of how I feel about this release. Why? Well, first of all, this sound is out. Fancy paved the way for it to go mainstream LAST YEAR. But today, in 2015, it already sounds horribly dated. And if didn't work for the more established Britney Spears and Pretty Girls, it's not going to work for Kelendria.

[Vocal Profile] Adele


Vocal Type: Mezzo-soprano
Vocal Range: 2 octaves and 3 notes  (C3- F5)
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Strengths:  Adele is a Diva whose strength comes from her delivery and adherence to melody, rather than showy tricks or vocal gymnastics. Though able to hold notes [Skyfall], sing melisma [First Love], and jump octaves [Hometown Glory], she chooses to employ a simpler, bluesy vocal styling that keeps the understandability of her lyrics at the fore.

Adele's lower range is dark and solid. She appears to be comfortable enough here, being able to replicate notes hit in the studio when in a live setting

Adele's midrange is feminine, sweet and of medium weight. With an easy and effortless quality, it is the part of the range that is most lyrical [Lovesong]. It is also emotively versatile, with the Diva being able to inject a number of emotions into her delivery. For instance, Rumour Has It is direct and tinged with attitude; Make you Feel My Love is soft and forlorn; while Rolling in the Deep is clear and cool in its proud spite.

[Cover] Erykah Badu - "Hotline Bling" (Remix)


The internet is currently being deluged by parodies and p*ss takes of Drake's "moves" in the newly released video for Hotline Bling. As funny and creative as they are, that's not the reason for this post (though it is a good excuse to post them at the end).
