I am seriously a stan! She has an amazing voice and and she is such a refreshing voice in the current music scene that features; murky/trashy/boppy/trippity/auto-tune fiasco! *sigh* You know what I mean... In an era of auto-tunes and lip-synching, Adele is a breath of fresh air. I thought her album "19" was a revelation until she released her sophomore album "21" and I was blown away song after song after song after song! It's no wonder she continues to dominate the music charts all over the world!!
Check out some favorites...
Rolling in the deep
In Acapella
and this one,
Voice, meet Piano = Piano, meet Voice!!

Some One Like You
I can think of very few people who need only one instrument to back up their voice.
Go to town with it folks, I am officially smitten:)
It's sad day in hip hop!! We woke up to the sad news that Nate Dogg passed away last night from complications of the two strokes he suffered in 2007 & 2008. Gone at such an early age of 41!! Nate was very talented with his distinctive voice that added some unique flavor to some of the biggest West coast rap songs during the G-funk era in hip hop.
Nate frequently collaborated with his high school friend Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, and 50 Cent.
Soon as I heard the sad news, I had to dig up my records that feature Nate. My faves are definitely from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album & Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" album.
Sadly, Nate is gone but he will never be forgotten! He made his mark. Long live hip-hop! Here are two of his most noted hits below:
Yours truly doing some product placement! Where's my $$$ Dr. Dre?? :) :)
It is no secret that I LOVE the Beats by Dr. Dre brand of headphones. They not only look good but are of superior quality - something I do NOT skimp on. I got a pair of the studio headphones last year and have not regretted my purchase ever since!! But like any great thing, there are often imitators!! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but I beg to differ in this case!! Fake versions of the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones are popping up everywhere!! Beware!! The fakes will never match up in quality of the sound which is what sets the real ones apart. Yes, they are a bit costly but worth every penny!! I'll let Ed Lover explain below:
