James Blake – If you like it electronic but soulful!

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

This is for the ones that can appreciate a little bit of soulful electronic music, trippy and psychedelic sounds… James Blake is a singer/songwriter and producer from the UK who was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize 2011 for his self-titled debut album.

His new album “Overgrown” (featuring Rap legend RZA) is supposed to be released April 9th and can be previewed on iTunes already. Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/overgrown-deluxe-edition/id613501760

If you are truly open to all sorts of music – this is your chance to prove it! Personally I thoroughly enjoy his take on Joni Mitchell’s “A Case Of You” and his current single “Retrograde“! James Blake is definitely a young & respectable talent out there! Turn up your speakers!

Honey Larochelle gives me “THE YES FEELING”!!! OH YES!

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Words can not express the love I have for this artist & friend of mine…
May I introduce to you (once again)…?! HONEY LAROCHELLE

Honey JUST came out with her highly anticipated debut album – and what title could be any more appropriate than
“THE YES FEELING” ?!

After successfully finishing a Kickstarter campaign, this talented woman finally brought her baby over the finish line.
This album is an instant classic, receiving nothing but rave reviews.

Make sure to get your copy off iTunes RIGHT HERE –> THE YES FEELING on iTunes

Honey Larochelle is the kind of artist you can not help but to support. She has the best stage presence, is insanely witty and talented, shows you nothing but love – musically and personally. She has performed with and been endorsed by iconic singer Roberta Flack, has also worked with Macy Gray, the Brand New Heavies, Joss Stone and many more. If you need anymore proof of her talent- check out Honey’s music and go see her in concert. You will NOT be disappointed!

Here are my 4 selections off her debut album:

Hey Love – a catchy Hymn that will start your day off just right, the type of song that needs to be on the radio!
Whose Gonna Love You – a soul song with old school appeal, a Honey classic for sure!
One 2 Three – giving you the Reggae vibe and spring feeling…
The One That Got Away – another Honey classic, sweet, soulful and showing off her range…

PLEASE SUPPORT HONEY BY PURCHASING HER ALBUM ON iTUNES! JUST CLICK HERE!

So Much Respect For Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – SAME LOVE

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

OK, this is one of the most impressive songs and videos I have witnessed in a while. I have NO clue how this track went by me for so long. Beautiful lyrics, dope hook, greatly delivered by Macklemore (who I only knew from “Thriftshop“). The deep message behind this track is admirable, progressive and brave – and honestly had me tear up.

I beg you to listen to the lyrics and share this with everybody you know. We need more of this in our world, not only in regards to the gay & lesbian community but in regards to being open and respectful in every aspect of life.

People are so consumed by their fears, irrational feelings and intolerance paired with lacking common sense… It’s frightening!
I wanted to make sure to make NYCROPHONE a part of this positive & powerful message that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis created with “Same Love” Feat. Mary Lambert! Live On & Be Yourself!

“If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
“Man, that’s gay” gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we’re saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don’t have acceptance for ‘em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself”
