Erykah Badu - The Other Side Of The Game (Throwback)

Durning an era of music where black consciousness was being brought through to you via your local radio station, there was a young Texan woman who could do nothing but captivate your ear.  The sweet alto of Erykah Badu could do know wrong.  She spoke for women with grace and she respected the role of her male counterpart in every lyric she put forth.  On or off stage, her energy was that of a Queen who had everything to gain by spreading the word of truth to everyone who could listen.  Her single "The Other Side Of The Game" spoke of a life that many had endured but very few were willing to talk about.  It is forever a classic in Soul Music!

Chanel Teabou’ Debut Single "BAD LUCK"

There is a simple concept that we often use when we experience a list of unfortunate occurrences.  During this time, we often are riddled with questions/statements like “Why Me?” and “OMG!”  Well, a new comer has decided that there is no such thing as #BADLUCK.  She is suggesting that any fear or concern about your misfortunes must be tackled head on with her debut single “Bad Luck”.   We had the pleasure of sitting in on a listening party hosted by the up-and-coming production team #Milk+Sizz.  I must say, as soon as the song started to play, I felt as if I was in an enchanted forest waiting for the fog to lift and find the unknown.  The music captures your ears with live strings and her voice electrifies the track with lyrics that can only be labeled as intriguing.

When you take away all the gimmicks and party music and yearn for music that can redefine the way you think about love, that’s when you will find @ChanelTeabou’!
