Gene Noble - Trust (Under The Radar)

2015 - R&B has been in need of a TRUE performing soul singer with dynamic range like legendary Will Downing, Bilal and D'Angelo and I think the music game has found it in Gene Noble.  I am truly amazed at the falsetto and baritone that can be accomplished by this young man.  Being impressed is not an easy task but it seems as if I have crossed the line with songs like "You All I Give A Fuck About" and "Lies".  Mr. Noble takes his vocals to task on the new single "TRUST" over a super sensual track.  At the end of a long hallway filled with musical selections, you can be the judge of where Gene Noble stands..

Ro James - Indiana Jones

Life is about the discovery of new and great things to observe, use and spread to others due to the level of “Greatness” within the discovery itself.  Ro James is indeed a discovery.  His acoustic rock r&b style blends into no other category but his own.  His video “Indian Jones” (directed by BKLYN AIR) shows a very soulful side to Ro James as he outlines his travels of love with a very different kind of individual.  Take the journey for yourself!


Preston Harris - Love Crazy EP (Under The Radar)

HS87 has added a phenomenal singer and song writer by the name of PRESTON HARRIS.  P. Harris stems from San Diego, CA. and has worked with a plethora of producers and musicians in the Cali music scene.  He lent his vocals to create what would be considered #Classics in the R&B realm.  Producer HITBOY definitely knew what he was doing when he signed this young talent to the roster. 

Preston Harris has now added his melodious voice to his debut project LOVE CRAZY EP.  This album is literally what we like to call a "Front To Back".  The lead single Love Crazy sets the tone and the surrounding 6 songs follow its grand lead.  We wont bore you with the adjectives to describe this great listening experience.  Experience it for yourself!

Teyana Taylor – ‘The Cassette Tape 1994’

‘The Cassette Tape 1994’ - Anytime I see a title with the 90's in it, the musical interest peeks to new heights.  Add G.O.O.D. Music's Teyana Taylor to the mix of the news title and mouse clicks will be happening until the site comes up.  The music recreations were done perfectly to compliment new lyrics and her infectious voice.  There are 5 new songs of good summer fun that can't be turned off from beginning to end.  Side-note: (WARNING) This may not be for the person who doesn't want to hear any variations to the original music of some of 90s biggest hits. 

Teyana Taylor has kept up social status in 2015 with her debut album VII which was underrated but for R&B fans it was a classic that will be appreciated years after its birth.

Anthony Lewis - "Its Not My Fault" Ft T.I. (Under The Radar)

The industry has been able to produce some quality singers over the past few years.  But, the faces of R&B have been the same in the mainstream media since 2005.  Here in 2015, major labels have been attempting a push of some very talented young R&B artists.  Anthony Lewis is in that pool and making his way to the top of the list.  His latest effort "It's Not My Fault" is a funky fun sampled horn driven song that will generate a few nods of the head and taps of your feet.  T.I. brings in the major flow on the song to give it that slight edge of street credibility.

Joe - Love & Sex Pt. 2 ft. Kelly Rowland

Mr. Joe Thomas is surely in the running for Mr. Consistent.  We have seen Joe grow musically with time but the one thing he has not swayed from is Soul R&B Music.  He focuses on love and relationships like no other.  Album after album he gives his fans exactly what they want and expect.  His latest effort Love & Sex Pt. 2 ft. Kelly Rowland chronicles two critical factors in maintaining a solid relationship in 2015.  You be the judge.
