DIONYZA

“Quite like Me”

Little Dizzy Records

DIONYZA has a polished sophistication to her skilled, soulful, modern R&B styled music. The daughter of Motown singer/songwriters Michael and Brenda Sutton is a welcomed newcomer to counterbalance the dime-a-dozen-divabots that are taking over the music scene. Her lyrical content and style heralds back to Chante Moore and Maysa Leak.

Kanye West: 808’s and Heartbreak

The songs that are not about heartbreak are your classic Kanye self-swagger tributes: powerful tracks with stylistically well-done use of an auto-tune that showcases Kanye’s impressive vocal range and control. Ranging from the resolved, empowerment-anthem: “Welcome to Heartbreak,” to the unexpected throwback early 90s beat “Paranoid:” Kanye knows what he does best, and he delivers it once again.

That Guitar man from Central Park; David Ippolito

Self-described as “Acoustic-storytelling like James Taylor might have written if heavily influenced by the Beatles and Broadway.”

This band has shown consistently strong song writing skills, as well as ample stage presence.  Drawing forces from punk-hardcore-alternative, the result is a unique and innovative sound, remarkable and unforgettable.  Despite time and distance, one can not forget the sounds of Faster than Fate.

anthony hamitlon/The Point of It All/ So So Def/ Zombra Label Group

The six-time Grammy-nominated R&B-soul balladeer croons a melodic picture of life using straightforward lyrics as his mellifluous paintbrush on his junior effort The Point of It All: “Talking about relationships again… everything from making love to building love; having arguments, just life!”

BLAST from THE PAST: LIZZY BORDEN

Lizzy Borden was a mix of Motley Crue with Alice Cooper and some Iron Maiden riffage whose albums were released between 1984-1990.  Albeit a large following on the West Coast, they never broke through commercially. The advent of the 90’s (a.k.a. the worst decade for music… ever) meant that the hard rock musical climate changed drastically and the over-the-top stage shows, and Lizzy Borden, became anachronistic.  Read the rest of this entry »

4 Aug 2008– The paradox which fascinates me the most is that of music.  Music is the only thing worth fighting for, living for, and dying for because of the power it has over the human soul, but never has music started a war (with the exceptions of the social revolution of the 1960s and the pop-revolution of the 1980s which then spawned the Religious Right’s overzealous counterrevolution). To the cynics among is, music is constantly delegated to the sidelines, constantly minimized as nothing more than a catalyst for pretentious attention whores’ way of drawing attention to themselves and fulfilling their obsessive compulsive need to be different and express themselves *insert sarcasm here.* I pity those cynics, for not being able to be a part of something larger than themselves. Rather than write a post about a new band that I like, or a concert that has already passed, this week I pose that we reflect on the songs that have mattered most to us throughout our lives. For myself, it is Guns N Roses, Sweet Child o Mine, among others of course. Here’s why that song means so much to mean, and no, it is not because it is on Guitar Hero. Read the rest of this entry »
