Vibin’ Right Now: Summer Favorites

Summer is usually a slow month when it comes to solid album releases, but this summer has given me a nice alternative with an abundance of good music to vibe to.

Knowing Black Eyed Peas (Pre-Fergie days) I’ve always been a fan of their music and their ability to lead in Hip-Hop different from everyone else (similar to my favorite Hip Hop duo, Outkast). Not only do I appreciate their style, but on this album with heavy electro bass sound not only gets me moving, but is feel good album. The double disc is stop me rockin’ to “I’mma Be” “Alive” and “Showdown”.

I love when artists go on hiatus and come back with a refreshing sound. Maxwell’s Black Summer’s Night is a delightful ear-gasm — oozing with sensuality that makes me tingle all over! I was so excited to hear his music that I haven’t quite picked a favorite, but “Cold” is definitely on repeat!

Tarrus Riley has always had a beautiful voice, one of my favorite new male singers on the Reggae scene. I love the raspy emotion that comes through his conscious lyrics like “Start A New” and “Let Peace Reign”. Tarrus has a great blend of romance and positive lyrics but love is the themed throughout the album…which is alright with me!
