Great Album!!
The one and only India Arie is back. She's embraced us with a new and original, upbeat tune that is theraputic and relaxing to the mind. Arie has delivered another hit album that we can not only bop our heads to, but will stimulate thought as well. "There are places in Havanna that remind me of Savannah," says Arie on her touching and well executed song, Ghetto. Arie is out on a mission; to provide us with music worth listening to. With wonderful artist such as Musiq Soulchild, MC Lyte, and Terrell Carter lending their talents to this extraordinary project, you cannot be disappointed. Arie is hoping to be your therapy and knows that her music will brighten up your already beautiful day.

Corneille Review

Watch Out For Corneille
Written By The Biz Editor:

*Really love this artist!
Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and girls. Watch Out! We have a soulful addition paving way onto the American music scene with his first English album, The Birth of Cornelius. French R&B artist Corneille is ready to help liberate us all by providing us with his upbeat, lyrical, and classical voice. No longer do we need to "cry our nights away." What makes Corneille's music even more appealing are the messages and truths behind his words. Each word that seeps through his lips has a purpose that we can all relate to. So be sure to have room in your Itunes library because Corneille plans on making his way through the lovely ear phones of your Ipod. Nothing will "phase" him. After one listen, you won't be able to get enough.

Listen to his music!

Ryan Leslie Album Review

Written By:

Sweet, soft, and sensual. The best three words to vividly illustrate the self titled R&B debut by Mr. Ryan Leslie. From start to finish, we have a classy and rhythmic album that pretty much everyone can relate to. This is not your typical R&B release. This album soars past excellent. So if you're looking for the average "Shawty lemme tap that" ablum, it is time to try something new and you shouldn't have to wait. This creative and most definitely innovative album has a mixture of sounds that blend significantly well. Ryan Leslie wants to be good to his fans and so far he's doing just that. Leslie's distinguished word choice definitely speaks out to the ladies and he's giving the guys a few tips. "I know you're not my girlfriend, but I swear that I love you," says Leslie in the alluring and sweet hearted song, Valentine. Mr. Leslie speaks to all. He may "not speak your language but he knows just what to say." And this won't be the last your hear of Mr. Leslie either because he promises to never leave you out of the blue.

Novel (n): a narrative of considerable length and complexity, portraying characters and dealing especially with human experience through a connected sequence of events
Novel (adj): Strikingly new, unusual, or different, especially in conception or style; original and of a kind not seen before
He is not just “a product of the ghetto,” he’s one of the most intricate lyricists on the rise today. Up and coming artist Novel definitely has a special story to tell. His EP, I am...Future Black President, displays an extreme level of confidence that is clearly expressed through his opening track, I Am. Novel definitely knows what he wants; success and a fine “Sista” to support him as he reaches the top. With his soulful and melodic sound, Novel can soothe and excite the ears of anyone listening in. And with the magnificent Talib Kweli backing him up, he cannot fail. He is “not a dream” or a “fantasy,” he’s real and he is here to leave us all with a great book to read.
