Raphael Saadiq just premiered his video for "Love That Girl". It's aight I guess. His love interest looks an awful lot like Joss Stone if you ask me. Watch for yourself though:

The day has finally arrived for Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, I haven't had time to give my copy a thorough listen but so far it sounds pretty good – it's like Motown on a acid, as in it's got an old soul sound with a hippie feel to it. So far my favorite song is her collaboration with Bilal "Cosmic Journey".

Ne-Yo is still three weeks away from his September 16th release date but new material keeps emerging. Ne-Yo tends to record tons of material, so no telling whether either of the following songs will actually land on Year of the Gentleman but while I'm waiting for the album to drop I'm enjoying all the extra goodies along the way. Check out "Ghetto Love Story" and the JR Rotem produced "In The Way".

Remember that statement from Jive I posted about Chris Brown songs leaking? Well apparently the link is no small matter to Breezy himself because he's been airing his beef publicly about one song in particular, "Electric Guitar," which was intended to be a duet between him and his "best friend" Rihanna for his third album.

Yet another Brandy track has been unleashed and this one is officially her new single "Right Here Departed" --- it ain't bad but I was really feeling that joint "Fall"… It is nice to see her and Rodney Jerkins doing the damn thing together again though.

Blige and Jodeci, you're in for about 13 tracks of just that – Ghostface at his gritty best combined with the added touch of R&B that is always surprisingly fitting – never forced.
