Latif: Melodies of Consciousness

2011-02-12T08:11:00.000-08:00

Date: 2011-02-03 | Interview By Adeniyi Omisore

An artist must be prepared and know the right time to strike in order to leave an imprint. Singer/songwriter Latif started studying music as a mentee of Teddy Pendergrass and continued as a student at Berklee College of Music. With major songwriting credits under his belt including, Musiq Soulchild's "Teach Me" and Cheri Dennis' "I Love U," Latif believes now is the perfect time to show his total artistry because people are longing for "honesty and the real vibe of R&B." Check out Latif's thoughts on truth in music, vulnerability, and the raising of fans consciousness.
The Time Is Now... "Our people are great; I think the consciousness [is higher]. People want better; they expect more. We are down to the basics now that all the fluff is gone. The different luxuries people have cutback on makes people cherish the things that are close like family. I feel like the music has to go in there. I want to be a part of this rebuilding process and continue to grow with people.”
The People Want Truth… "For me one of the dopest writers in the last couple of years is Drake because he is really honest. I think that's what captures people. He is not animated.”

Music Tombstone… "Our music is forever, it will be here after I’m gone. I want it to reflect what I stand for. Whether its love, whether it is family, whether it is unity, whether it is celebrations. It's going to be true, it's going to be me.”

Commission to Lead… "I'm passionate about music. You have to do it. Our leaders are our musicians and artists these days. We have to take that responsibility as writers and producers. If you have a message and it’s your message and it is true to you and your passionate about it and you're a musician and you don’t put it in there then what are you doing. Everybody (artist) has a movement that affect culture whether it is Jay-Z, Pharrell or Kanye West. They are true to themselves so it inspires people like them; it inspires people who want to be like them. I think that is a great thing. We get so many privileges but there are some responsibilities that come along with it."

Wearing Emotions Outside… "I always feel I'm always vulnerable. I always put my heart out there. When you do that there is a chance you might not have as many placements; people might not want to receive that. I feel like I have never lost that. It is one thing I try to protect. You have to have vulnerability in your music because you’re giving it up. Now when I write a record for somebody I have to make sure so much soul is in it so it can transcend when the person sings it.”
Pulled to the Stage… "We write so many records as writers [and] try to sell them and you look around not many artist are on that tip... So you have to put the records out yourself.”

Motivated By the Community… "Everything has its place, everything has its time and everything can coexist at the same time. Music has to reflect what is going on. It is real out here; people don’t have jobs and marriages are ending. Certain [topics] were not honestly being touched upon. Actually that is my motivation and that is my inspiration. Being able to express myself and that helps people express themselves. Right now is the time for real sincerity.”
Album Topics… "Relationships are so interesting to me. [There are] different relationships I breakdown. As a songwriter every conversation is a song. I talk about love, family, God everything that is in my life. That is why I call it 'Dealing With Life.'”

ALL MY LIFE: THEIR GREATEST HITS digs deep for 18 tracks from the provocative pair. Naturally, the collection contains hits like the title track, which topped both the R&B & pop charts with its tender lyrics and gentle melody, as well as the similar "Tell Me It's Real," another huge hit. ALL MY LIFE also uncovers lesser-known tracks that convey the group's versatility, including the layered, neo-soul-flavored "Don't Rush (Take Love Slowly)," which expertly showcases K-Ci's growl. Also featured are K-Ci's solo homage to '70s Delfonics-style soul, "If You Think You're Lonely Now," and the brothers' collaboration with like-minded Babyface, "I Care About You."

The highly anticipated third album from the Hong Kong teen idol revolves around the notion of "love" - not just the romantic kind, but a wide variety like love for God, love for family, and love for oneself. MySecret is literally a labor of love from the popular singer-songwriter, and the album's first plugs include Good To Be Bad and Get Over You, both penned by G.E.M. herself.

Rubberband - Connected

2010-09-03T14:39:00.000-07:00

A natural continuation of the band's previous albums Apollo 18 and Beaming, RubberBand's third album is called Connected, which references the band's whole body of work as well as the greater human condition. With bigger budget this time, the popular Hong Kong rock band took the mastering work to England to make sure Connected is their best yet. The 12 new songs on the socially conscious album include the first plug "World Cup" (about the African immigrants in Hong Kong), "Haiti" (about the natural disasters around the world), the inspiring "Heaven Earth Connected", and the ballad SimpleLoveSong. The bonus DVD contains 3 music videos and a mockumentary film in which the five members of RubberBand humorously play a filming crew chasing after the fictional creature known as "Lennon Beast".

陳奐仁 & 歐陽靖 MC Jin - 買一送一 buy 1 get 1 free

2010-07-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

Both based in Hong Kong, versatile Singapore musician Hanjin Tan and popular ABC rapper MC Jin decided to collaborate on a "shotgun album", hence they spent 10 days together, writing, jamming, and recording one song each day. The result is this 10-track collection known as Buy 1 Get 1 Free. The album's keyword is "spontaneity", and the subjects range from friendship, insomnia, to mother and girlfriend, depending on their feelings that day. Combining Hanjin's songwriting, vocal and guitar performance with MC Jin's rap, the acoustic hip-hop album is a rare experiment in Chinese pop music that promises creativity and fun!

即將於7月推出，是Hanjin & MC Jin首次攜手創作及合唱的專輯，亦是一隻’ShotGun Album’。兩個人用十日時間，很即興的創作兼錄製一張十首歌的大碟，MC Jin負責Rap詞的部分、Hanjin負責唱歌、音樂及其他歌詞部份，每一日隨著當日的心情去創作一首歌曲，Hanjin手持結他即興地彈出樂曲，MC Jin填上Rap歌詞，整個過程都是由心出發，創作題材包括朋友、母親、女朋友及失眠等，每首歌都代表著他們兩人的心聲。

Up-and-coming Hong Kong rock band RubberBand started out as an indie act in 2004, and as they gained wide support they have gone mainstream and are now signed with major record label Gold Typhoon. Their latest album Beaming offers six new songs, including airwave hit "Apollo", a duet with Kary Ng titled "Try...", and the "Collaboration Between Hard and Nai" featuring the band's drummer nicknamed "Nai Mang" and versatile artist Jan Lamb of SoftHard fame, who happen to look like identical twins standing next to each other.

RubberBand's 2008 debut album Apollo 18 has gone out of print already, so by public demand the band have also selected 11 favorite songs from that album to be included in this new collection. Beaming comes in a dual cover design.

Rain 비 - Back To The Basic

2010-04-11T17:39:00.000-07:00

After starring in the Hollywood actioner Ninja Assassin, completing a world tour, and taking a hand at producing his own boy band, Rain is back in Korea, and back at what he does best. Rain's anticipated special mini-album Back to the Basic comes with five new cuts, including one English song. The album's title is a reflection that Rain, though now an international superstar, has never forgotten where he started, and approaches his music with the same ambition and attitude as he did eight years ago as a newcomer. Rain himself penned the album's main track, the ballad "Love Song".

01. 널 붙잡을 노래
02. Hip Song
03. One
04. 똑같아 (Same)
05. Love Song (English Version)

01. 널 붙잡을 노래
작곡: 정지훈(Rain), Groove Network
작사: 정지훈(Rain)

여태까지 들어볼수 없던 웅장한 스케일을 지닌 발라드 곡. 아름다운 선율의 피아노 위로 흐르는 애절한 멜로디가 인상적인 곡이다. 큰 스케일의 현악과 어쿠스틱 악기들의 조화로 이루어진 이 곡은 태완(a.k.a C-luv)과, 재민, 세현으로 이루어진 Groove Network와 비의 공동작업으로 이루어진 곡으로 한국 발라드의 또 다른 그림을 제시한다.

02. Hip Song
작곡: 정지훈(Rain), 배진렬(JR GROOVE)
작사: 정지훈(Rain)

강한 비트와 반복적인 신스의 리듬을 배경으로 루트로 브라스의 메인 테마가 인상적인 곡인 이 곡은 새로운 형식의 멜로디 라인과 사운드를 전개하며 이번 스페셜 앨범의 수록곡 중 비의 퍼포먼스가 기대되는 후속곡이다. ‘Rainism’으로 유명한 작곡가이자 프로듀서 배진렬(JR GROOVE)이 비와 함께 호흡을 맞추었으며 여러 장르가 혼합된 댄스트랙 이 노래로 비가 어떤 퍼포먼스와 함께 다가올지 기대감을 불러일으킨다. BPM 80 의 다소 느린 듯한 그루브에 나오는 묵직한 브라스 섹션이 새로운 음악 형식에 고급스러움을 더하며 몸을 들썩이게 할 트랙이다.

03. One
작곡: 김태완(C-luv) [For Groove Network], 장영찬 (YC)
작사: 김태완(C-luv) [For Groove Network]

귀를 맴도는 후렴이 매혹적인 이곡은, 한국에서 좀처럼 들어보기 힘든 Slow jam 스타일의 R&B 넘버. 흑인음악의 정수를 느낄 수 있는 이 곡은 섹시한 매력이 더해서 청자를 사로 잡는다. 코러스의 일렉 기타 라인과 현악의 하모니는 곡의 느낌을 최대로 이끌어내며, 그 밑을 받혀주는 강하고 그루브한 힙합 비트는 또 다른 듣는 재미를 선사한다.

04. 똑같아(Same)
작곡: 김태완(C-luv) [For Groove Network]
작사: 김태완(C-luv) [For Groove Network]

한국에서 듣기 힘든 미국 R&B 음악의 최신 트렌드를 반영한 곡. 반복적인 신디사이저 악기에 부드러운 일렉 피아노와 패드의 조합이 인상적인 곡. 강렬한 808 드럼의 비트 위로 뿌려지는 전자악기의 향연이 돋보이는 이 곡은 R&B 매니아들에겐 필청 트랙이 될 것이다. 이 곡은 미국의 R&B 가수에게도 곡 사용 제의를 받았던 곡으로 작곡가 태완(a.k.a C-Luv)과 비의 친분으로 제의를 거절했다는 일화가 있는 곡이다.

05. Love Song (English Version)
‘널 붙잡을 노래’의 영어 버전.

Ledisi - Turn Me Loose

2009-12-29T16:28:00.000-08:00

Great Neo-Soul album.

Ledisi was able to secure some of urban music's most respected producers, including Grammy® winners Raphael Saadiq and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. She also reunited with producer Rex Rideout, who contributed greatly to the sound of Lost & Found. But for Turn Me Loose, Ledisi didn't want to play it safe. With help from the four other producers (Ivan & Carvin, Chief Xcel, Chucky Thompson & Fyre Dept), the artist braided brilliant strains of the different sounds she loved while growing up in Oakland, Calif. Rock, blues, classic soul, funk and hip-hop are all fused together throughout Turn Me Loose. Ledisi often merges the old with the new. The funky title track, for instance, updates the sassy grooves of vintage Stax. As a tribute to Buddy Miles, Ledisi does a cover of "Them Changes" as a bonus track.

Mr. - If I Am...

2009-12-03T13:20:00.000-08:00

Usually not my type of music, but they're pretty good. Thumbs Up

Hong Kong pop rock band Mr. is set to revive the Hong Kong band sound with its latest album If I Am...! The first two plugs unleashed from the album - "Swing" and "If I Were Eason Chan" - were both greeted with enthusiasm by fans and DJs alike, giving this once-indie band its first no.1 hits on airplay charts. Other major tracks include "Forest", and the duet with Canto-pop legend Alan Tam called Mr. Tam.

Eason Chan 陳奕迅 - 上五樓的快活 Fifth Floor's Happiness

2009-09-23T12:28:00.001-07:00

台灣金曲歌王陳奕迅首次挑戰台語歌，在2009年全新國語專輯《上五樓的快活》中演繹首支台語歌「我甲你」，由亂彈樂團主唱阿翔創作。此外，碟內亦多方邀請創作歌手寫歌，有蔡健雅的「多少」、蘇打綠青峰的「這樣的一個麻煩」、范曉萱的「你為什麼哭了呢」、小安的「心的距離」，而Eason也特別創作了一首新歌「給你」，呼籲珍惜地球的環保訊息。整張專輯主打「快活」主義，無論在選歌及演繹上，製作人林暐哲讓Eason可以自在地透過音樂記錄生活

Eason Chan's Don't Want to Let Go won Best Mandarin Album at the Golden Melody Awards last June, and he is to follow that victory up with his highly anticipated new Mandarin album in September 2009.

The album not only features Eason's own composition "For You", it also has songs tailor-made for him by other singer-songwriters, including Tanya Chua's "How Much", sodagreen vocalist Tsing Fong's "A Trouble Like This", Mavis Fan's "Why are You Crying", and Xiao An's "Heart's Distance". Another highlight would be Luantan frontman Ascent's Goa Kah Li for which Eason attempts the Taiwanese dialect for the first time!

Swing - 武當

2009-09-18T18:20:00.000-07:00

It's probably the "Seven Year Itch". Since going separate ways in 2002, Eric Kwok and Jerald Chan have been exploring their own solo careers, but this year they decided to team up again as the beloved Canto-pop duo Swing. First they tested the water with a reunion concert in July, then formally return to the "martial world" of the Hong Kong music scene with their brand new album Wu Dang in September. This album comes with 10 new songs on the CD, including "Bread Life" (penned by Wyman Wong), Let It Go, and Swing's comeback single "I Have the Goods". The DVD is jam-packed with goodies too, carrying 4 music videos, 10 live performances from their recent concert (two of which were duets with "Pop Principal" Alan Tam), and lots of behind-the-scenes footage. (yesasia)

久達多時的香港創作組合 Swing，2009年終於宣佈復出並推出專輯《武當》。《武當》專輯的誕生完全是Swing兩人的心力之作，源於對於武俠劇的喜愛，無論歌曲的製作、風格、封套和MV的概念都是Swing親自嚴謹製作。02年組合解散至今，Eric Kwok 單飛作個人發展，Jerald則退居幕後。09年復出全新主打歌「我有貨」，由陳詠謙填詞的內容相當到位，唱出Swing一向挑皮和多搞作的心聲。新專輯收錄的歌曲有「我有貨」、「Let It Go」、「麵包生命」、「讓左腳先行一步」和「點止兵兵」。

Swing黐筋孖筋回歸樂壇

Chet Baker - The Best of Chet Baker Sings

2009-09-10T16:06:00.000-07:00

Once Chet Baker arrived in California from his native Oklahoma, his career exploded. After landing gigs with Charlie Parker and Gerry Mulligan, Baker soon found himself a solo star and bandleader. Not long after that, he also found himself whispering love songs into a microphone. Baker was not gifted with the most robust voice of the day. Indeed, listening to pure singers like Nat "King" Cole or Johnny Hartman can expose Baker's weaknesses, but what Baker did, he did well. By choosing wistful, so-young, so-in-love tunes, Baker was able to pour his heart into the material, sketching soft, romantic moods and painting himself as the broken-hearted innocent. The effect can be devastating, as Baker's voice clings to the melody, threatening to disintegrate at any moment. Many of his best tunes--"I Fall in Love Too Easily," "But Not for Me," "Let's Get Lost"--are collected here, and as such, there is no better place to begin an appreciation of Baker's unique singing. --S. Duda (Amazon)

Jamie Lidell - Jim

2009-07-24T22:07:00.000-07:00

Genre: Soul, funk, R&B

Jim is ten very different songs. Jim is energy, integrity, emotion. Jim is all about the hooks. Jim is getting the sounds absolutely right. Jim is keeping things fresh. Jim is the voice. Jim is Jamie and Jamie is Jim.

Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small hours. It's a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R & B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of 'hillbilly funk'. "I haven't tried to hide the influences," he says "This is the music I love." But, listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and style that is entirely his own.

Written by Jamie Lidell and Dominic "Mocky" Salole (except where noted)

"Another Day" - 3:49
"Wait for Me" - 3:23
"Out of My System" - 3:58
"All I Wanna Do" - 5:13
"Little Bit of Feel Good" - 4:03 (Lidell/Salole/Andre Vida)
"Figured Me Out" - 4:27
"Hurricane" - 3:13
"Green Light" - 3:49 (Lidell/Mocky/Jason Charles Beck)
"Where D'You Go?" - 2:24 (Beck)
"Rope of Sand" - 3:39

Corinne Bailey Rae

2009-06-21T11:58:00.000-07:00

Corinne Bailey Rae's debut was a number One hit in her native England, a fact that has U.S. bizzers buzzing about its potential with the adult-alternative crowd over here. The twenty-seven-year-old's voice suggests a warmer, less weird Macy Gray, and she uses it without a hint of diva showiness on breezy, sometimes sleepy songs that evoke girls sassing back and forth in the sweet summertime. The music-will-soothe-your-soul single "Put Your Records On" sets Brit- inflected coos over acoustic guitar and a hip-hop groove before opening into a chorus worthy of prime Stevie Wonder, and charmers like "Trouble Sleeping" are all dreamy swoons, lush accompaniment and fairly effective hooks. But the album is occasionally more interesting than her mellow mien would suggest: "Choux Pastry Heart" is full of evocative heartache, and the funked-out "I'd Like To" is a sharp sketch of urban life with a sexually charged chorus. Corinne Bailey Rae is as pop-wise as it is overly gentle and one to grow on.

"Like a Star" (Corinne Bailey Rae) – 4:03
"Enchantment" (Rae, Rod Bowkett) – 3:57
"Put Your Records On" (Rae, John Beck, Steve Chrisanthou) – 3:35
"Till It Happens to You" (Rae, Pamela Sheyne, Paul Herman) – 4:38
"Trouble Sleeping" (Rae, Beck, Chrisanthou) – 3:28
"Call Me When You Get This" (Rae, Beck, Chrisanthou, Steve Bush) – 5:04

"Breathless" (Rae, Marc Nelkin) – 4:15
"I'd Like To" (Rae, Tommy Danvers, Herman) – 4:08
"Butterfly" (Rae, Bowkett) – 3:53

Sterling Simms - Yours, Mine & The Truth

2009-06-14T14:49:00.000-07:00

Let's change pace to some R&B.
Artist: Sterling Simms
Album: Yours, Mine and the Truth
Release Date: 12.23.08

Tracklist:
01. All I Need (Feat. Jadakiss)
02. Playa
03. DUI (80 On The Freeway)
04. Single
05. Bad Dream
06. Jump Off (Feat. Sean Paul)
07. I Know
08. Boom Boom Room
09. Best Friend
10. Doin' Dat Dere
11. Sex In The City
12. Let Her Go
13. She Should Be Thanking You

After a few previous attempts and some delays, it sounds as if Def Jam recording artist Sterling Simms has finally perfected his formula for his debut album Yours, Mine & The Truth . The album features noteworthy production from Tricky and the Dream, and Simms' own squad, the Knightwritaz. Simms' vocal range stands out, and there's a lot of versatility throughout the project in both content and production, making this a great album all around.

Jadakiss drops some bars on the album's opening cut and lead single All I Need , while Sean Paul (Youngbloodz) contributes the southern swag to Jump Off , which originally received airplay a few years ago from a project that was never officially released. Ya gotta admire the recklessness of a fiend on DUI (80 on the Freeway) , where not even the "boys in blue" can keep him from an intoxicated drive to satisfy the deepest of sexual cravings. The fantasies continue on Boom Boom Room , and Sex In The City , another highlight of the album where Simms' falsetto is showcased over a sultry Knightwritaz beat. Switching gears a bit, the album takes a sensitive turn on songs like the all-too-familiar Bad Dream , a regretful number about losing love and an obvious prequel to Let Her Go , one of the vocal highlights of the album. Fellas, I think we can all relate to the feeling of Single , a laidback joint that opens with strums on an acoustic guitar and relives the feelings of bachelor-style freedom. She Should Be Thanking You closes out the disc on a mellow note with an unusual message: it's an open letter to an ex-girlfriend after he realizes how much of a better man she made him - a better man that the next girl now enjoys.

Yours, Mine and the Truth is a solid start for the R&B singer, as this album shows his potential for greatness. It's easy to hear that he draws artistic influence from music's finest, ranging from Sam Cooke to Brian McKnight to Usher. I highly recommend this joint to all the R&B heads especially if you're in need of something new and different. I'm anxious to hear what he can do with some old school covers and I'm already anticipating his next single. Go ahead and cop this joint, it's the truth …

Happy Circle EP

2009-06-11T16:51:00.000-07:00

Happy Circle EP

Taiwan pop rock trio Happy Circle have finally come up with their debut EP, and instead of calling it "Doughnuts for the Ear" - which is what many people liken their music to - they have given it the title Hello Tomorrow. The band is formed by female vocalist Katie and guitarists Whyn and Prince JR., who enthrall listeners with their fantastic match of folky sound and endearing voice. Members of Happy Circle have written songs for many other popular artists, including Angela Chang, Lollipop, Hey Girl, Nicholas Teo, Elva Hsiao, Huang Jing Lun, Fahrenheit, and Rainie Yang. The band's EP has 3 songs, namely the title number Hello Tomorrow, "Smattering", and "Dawn".

If this is not Eason's best album, I dunno what is. The vocal techniques, song selection, arrangements are superb. This was back when he was with Capital Artists (HK) 華星娛樂 (HK).

Coming in second would be his Shall We Dance- Shall We Talk! album. I believe this is his second album under EEG (Music Plus). Gotta say EEG produces some great pop hits, even though they have mostly an idols. Again, Eason emphasizes on his singing techniques in tracks like Shall we dance, Shall we talk, 怪物, 孤獨探戈, 黑暗中漫舞, 信心花舍, etc.

Khalil Fong Live in Toronto - June 5, 2009 @ Roy Thomson Hall

2009-06-08T10:56:00.000-07:00

Wow, what a night. Finally got to see Khalil live. I've been following his music since his debut album "Soulboy". For his concert in Toronto, he impressed us with a lot of English covers including "I feel good", "Georgia on my mind", "Billie Jean", etc. All of them were done with acoustic accomplianment with either guitar or piano. Although it was a funny and warm concert overall, it was different from his "This Love Live 07" and "Wonderland Live 08" concert, it lacked the variety of songs, probably because it was a smaller concert in Toronto. Also, Fiona Sit was real fun when she came out, she sang three songs and went around to shake hands with the audience, I was one of the lucky ones =P

I really wanted him to sing "拖男帶女", and "叫我怎麼說", those songs woulda been great for concert atmosphere. Another great thing was that he sang a lot of songs from his new album Orange Moon. He sang "singalongsong", "1234567", "黑白" (acoustic), "三人遊", and "每個人都會".

Hope you come back soon Khalil!

oh, and for fans in HK, look out for this
