D'Angelo Isn't A Bad Boy, Preview Musiq and Keyshia's New Albums
Posted on December 8, 2008 1:53 PM
Don't you love it when an artist's camp squashes a rumor before it really has a chance to spread? Well apparently somebody has been claiming D'Angelo switched over to the Diddy darkside and signed with Bad Boy but D's manager says nah y'all...
Here's the statement from D'Angelo's manager Lindsay Guion:
Contrary to various media reports, producer, composer, performer, D'Angelo has not signed with Sean "Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Records. Both gentlemen hold one another in the highest regard, however the stories circulating in the press are totally false, according to D'Angelo's manager, Lindsay Guion. D'Angelo is signed to the RCA Music Group (J Records), a unit of Sony Music Entertainment, Inc.
D'Angelo is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on his eagerly anticipated CD, scheduled to released in Spring 2009. Thus far, he has recorded with Raphael Saadiq, Q Tip and Roy Hargrove. D'Angelo is expected to collaborate with Prince, Cee-Lo and other stellar talents. A single entitled, "I Found My Smile Again" was recently released and is available exclusively on iTunes.
Hotdamn, a Prince/D'Angelo collabo? That's just too much sexy for one song...

For those of you who missed the Oscar De La Hoya/ Manny Pacquiao fight Saturday, Keyshia sang the National Anthem. Watch it below:
I'm going to reserve comments about her outfit and hair and just ask, who decided to have her do that acapella???
Whose album are you most excited about hearing? Musiq, D'Angelo or Keyshia Cole? Y'all already know my vote is with D'Angelo, but talk to me y'all!

Keyshia all day er'day!!!! Even Pac co-signed her back in the day.
I am really happy for Keyshia Cole. I hope she can survive her family because they don't seem to have a 1/5 of her discipline. Shame being surrounded by older adults that can't be counted on for advice, stability or vision.
Musiq stepped up his last album. I already have the new one, but I have yet to give it a listen. I will post tomorrow and give you my thoughts.
The new Kindred the Family Soul is FIYAH!! lol So is the new Debra Cox. (Cox has two releases one in '07 and one last month. Both great buys)
D'Angelo!! Can't wait. Man, you know how many women I got to "relax and let it flow" with that man singin' in the background? (Looks to see if my wife is looking.lol)
Lots of good stuff out. Now if India.Irie would hurry up the circle would be complete.
Neo-Soul and Other Bullsh*t
I'm looking forward to D'angelo's cd. I heard "I Found My Smile Again" on youtube, I remember that song from the Space Jam soundtrack, just an updated version with live instruments. Can't wait to hear what else he has coming, that Prince collaboration should be a good look.
Keyshia Cole... I have her other two albums, love em. I hope the album is good, I wasn't really feeling "Playa Cardz Right" too much.
the new musiq album is amazingly good.
