Happy Black American Music Month!!!
The creatives have begun June on a high note. A big weekend for R&B. Tink and Summer Walker gave us “Songs About U,” a collaborative song about going through a toxic cycle with a lover, and the songs reminiscent of their love. Both ladies did their thing vocally, per usual. Tanare’lle released her EP “Electric Honey.” This project oozes sensual, sultry sex appeal, much like the artist. Tanere’lle’s music is what you’d expect to hear in the background of an intimate love scene between lovers who’ve allowed the sexual tension to build. This project is for the grown and sexy. Muni Long is vocally strong on her single “Make Me Forget.” I thoroughly enjoy the actual singers, and she is one of them; the songwriting and Muni’s vocal abilities are a great matchup. Also, Queen Mariah Carey released Portraits, a 4 track EP. Mariah sings as if you can hear the pretty in the song.
Doechii and JT literally blew the visuals out of the water in their new music video for “Alter Ego.” The vibe is giving Swamp Godesses. I like the song, and JT’s cadence meshed well with Doechii’s. It is a fun house-rap song.
Sista Tasha Cobbs Leonard blessed us with a selection. Her new single, “Do It Anyway,” is an inspirational song and story of her obedience to her parents and God and her tenacious mindset. Sometimes, we don’t have all the answers and tend to let doubts deter us, but “Do it Anyway.”
Representing the heart of Africa, Ayra Starr released her album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ which is loaded with great singles. Tems is releasing her album, ‘ Born in The Wild, ’ on June 7th, so stay tuned.
