R.Kelly: Number One

R.Kelly era una de esas promesas que apuntaba alto por su talento, tanto a nivel interpretativo, como por sus composiciones, dotando a sus canciones de personalidad propia y un sonido brillante. Sus patinazos en su vida personal le ocasionaron una caida en picado tras el rechazo general del público americano. Ahora de nuevo parece que va intentar encauzar su faceta musical -esperemos que la personal tambien- con la publicación de un nuevo disco. Su título es "Untitled" y uno de sus videos de presentación es el titulado "Number One" junto a Kery Hilson. Talento y calidad le sobran por lo que espero el resultado de su trabajo esté a la altura de las espectativas.


Letra
Number one
Sex that we’re having
Here girl
Ooh (this is, this is number one)
Sex that we’re having here girl
You better ask somebody..

[R. Kelly]
Can’t nobody do it like us
Can’t nobody mix chop and screw it like us
All over the living room hittin it like us
In the middle of the night wake up the building like us
But it’s oookay if you wanna brag
The sex so good
Go and pat yourself on the back
And them haters, they gon hate
But we just gon keep on blowing up cause girl
They gon hate, anyway
You are now rocking with the best (best, best, best…)
I’ll make you forget about the rest
Having sex with you is like makin hits
Girl we got egos they can’t tell us that we ain’t the shit
I’m in your mix like a number one record
And the beat goes on and on
And it don’t stop you keep going from the night onto the day
And i love it when you take me down and make me say-ay..

[Chorus]
(Number one)
Sex that we’re having
Here girl
Ooh (this is, this is number one)
Sex that we’re having here girl, ohh

Keri!

[Keri Hilson]
You know you stay at the top spot
When you’re breaking me down like a chop shop, eh
Cutting like some blades on a caddy
That’s how you’re working me, daddy
Everytime you put that on
You are now rocking with the best
I’ll make you forget about your ex
This one here’s a race where you don’t wanna come first
I know what i’m doing ain’t no need to rehearse yeah-ee-yeah
A lot of dudes just be going nowhere fast
But you be steady cruising like you want it to last
That’s how you made me a chocoholic
And right now my body’s calling
I gotta know how you got the knowhow
Baby you the champ of all that goes down
If your —- was a gun it would stone cold?
With my RNB thug when I bang bang
You know Kells and Keri hook up like that you make it number one

[Chorus]
(Number one)
Sex that we’re having
Here girl
Ooh (this is, this is number one)
Sex that we’re having here girl, ohh

[R. Kelly]
Hands down you the best
Ain’t no competition
You and me in this bed
Just what I was wishin
Them other girls was cool but it’s somethin they was missin
And i don’t call them back every since we hit it in the kitchen
That night
At my home
Trench coat
Nothin on
Your sex
Got me gone
Went straight
To my dome
And i love it woo
Girl i love it woo
And i love it woo
Girl i love it woo
Girl it’s somethin about you that thrills me
That’s why after we lay you get to know the real me-e-e-yeah
And it don’t stop you keep going from the night onto the day
And i love it when you take me down and make me say
Eyyyyyy

[Chorus]
(Number one)
Sex that we’re having
Here girl
Ooh (this is, this is number one)
Sex that we’re having here girl, ohh

[R. Kelly]
Girl i vow that I would do anything to pleasure you
All I wanna do is make this last
I’ll kiss you up I kiss you down
Be real quiet or making sounds
Take it slow or take it fast
And wooo
And wee
And yoouuu
And me
Havin fun
And when it’s over in the morning i’ll say gracias baby
Before you go I’ll scream damelo

(Num-num-number one, number one
This is, this is number one)

Marisa Lindsay: I Think I Want to be in Love

Nativa de Barbados y explorando sonidos neo-soul que se funden con el jazz, Marisa Lindsay nos acaricia los sentidos con su segundo disco titulado "Deeper Love". Ella se siente muy influenciada por grandes artistas como Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin o Billie Holiday, pero ha sabido imponer su frescura y personalidad con fragancias sonoras de extrema dulzura que nos envuelven y atrapan de manera natural, dando como resultado un trabajo digno de una mujer de gran talento como es ella. Una muestra de ese trabajo es "I Think I Want to be in Love", con ciertas reminiscencias al grupo de acidjazz Incognito -o por lo menos a mi me lo parece-, una agradable forma de sumergerse en su placton sonoro.

Sabrina Starke: Home Is You

En los últimos años, un pais europeo como es Holanda, me sorprende de nuevo con artistas capaces de hacerte vibrar y estremecerte con su música.
Ese es el caso de Sabrina Starke, que a sus 16 años entendió que la música era su manera de sentir la vida y se unió a un grupo de Reggae, para más tarde y ya en solitario, ganar diferentes concursos y explotar su riqueza interior inspirada en grandes del soul como Sam Cook o James Brown. El jazz y soul consiguen ser el vehículo que la transporta directo hasta lo más profundo de nuestra alma sedienta de nuevas melodías, y su voz la llave mágica que abre nuestros corazones. Su disco debut -titulado Yellow Brick Road- es un regalo y bendición para nuestros oidos y aunque tarde, su reedición con dos temas nuevos, es una oportunidad para disfrutar sin límite de bellos temas como "Home Is You".

Mary J.Blige: Stronger

Nacida en el barrio New Yorkino del Bronx, el hip-hop y el soul marcaron a Mary J.Blige, al igual que grandes vocalistas como Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin o Anita Baker. Su portentosa voz y su particular estilo vocal pronto la hicieron destacar y abrirse un hueco en la música. Primero con un sabor más rapero, para desembarcar de lleno en un estilo donde el rap y el Rnb más urbano se dan la mano, logrando éxitos más comerciales. Ahora -pasados ya 2 años de su último trabajo- nos presenta su nuevo disco titulado igual que su single de presentación "Stronger", siendo tambien el single de la banda sonora del documental sobre baloncesto titulado "More Than A Game", que seguro le encantará a nuestro amigo Mo Sweat.


Letra
We've been through the storm, we've been through it all
We had some close calls but never would fall
We climbed all the mountains, walked through all the valleys
but you never left me behind

I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin, scared, closing my eyes
I will be true this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line

I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger

They said we wouldn't make it but guess what we made it
And we got them wondering how
You were always for me, never been the one t'hurt me
You gave me peace of mine

I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin, scared, closing my eyes

I will be true this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line

I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger

Sometimes I can't believe that you are with me..
There's nobody lucky as me
So I get on my kness to make sure that he knows
that i'm grateful for what he gave me

I will survive
I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I will survive, as long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger
I'm stronger

Beyoncé: Halo

Bella, sensual, atractiva ..., y ademas compone, produce y canta como los ángeles. Ella es Beyoncé, parte integrante del grupo Destiny's Child hasta su separación en el 2005. Su existencia en solitario ha sido ascendente, numerosos premios -entre ellos los últimos MTV Europe Music Awards- y una de las artistas que más dinero ha generado en la industria musical. De su último disco titulado I am... Sasha Fierce(2008), nos ofrecía las dos caras de si misma, una salvaje, feroz y glamurosa y otra más íntima y sensual con la que me siento más identificado, resaltando este tema, "Halo".


Letra
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Raul Midón: Don't Take it that way

Fusionando el soul clásico con el jazz y la música latina, Raul Midón es una de las figuras más atrayentes del panorama musical de los últimos años. Su voz melodiosa y dulce consigue penetrar sin dificultad en los oidos de los amantes tanto de la música negra, del jazz o del pop. Ciego de nacimiento por un problema similar al de una de sus máximas influencias, Stevie Wonder, trabajó como músico de sesión y giras de artistas latinos de renombre, abandonándolo todo -por fortuna para nosotros- y estableciéndose en Nueva York, reinventándose de nuevo a sus 42 años. Ahora nos presenta su nuevo disco titulado Synthesis bajo la producción de Larry Klein -varios Grammys en su haber- y con temas como "Don't Take it that way".
