This week I decided to again take a glance in the store and was surprised
by three new albums - none of which I currently have the money for! =)
Two albums I saw were off the Instinct label. Want to add some spice to
your collection, then this compilation - "Bossa brava 3" will that
particular flavor. It's a mix of latin-jazz funky enough to get your hips
wiggling and make your date want to kick her shoes off and.. (am I getting
carried away?) I haven't yet heard the other installments of this series,
but if there anything like this, I have to start saving up now
The other Instinct compilation is "New Voices: Volume 4" I didn't get to
listen to the entire album, but what I did hear was enough to get me
grooving. Many artists that I wasn't too familiar with although will
probably blow up really soon. The label's hard working artist Gota Yashiki
was even on hand for a few cuts. Even if you're strapped for pesos like I
am, definitely give this one an ear.
I see that I have to keep a close eye on Instinct since they are putting
out a steady stream of great music!
The last album I listened to was Davina's "Best of Both World's". This is
absolutely hot! Honestly, when "So Good" off the Hoodlum soundtrack
dropped, I wasn't that impressed. Not that I didn't enjoy it all, but I
had no idea of the type of gift she'd bless us with through this album. We
know that this is truly her talent shining since she takes on ALL
producing, programming and arranging. The cuts range from head noddin jeep
beats to sexy and silky grooves to get you in that deep vibe we all like.
She even proves she can be that jazzy songstress on her outro, "My Cryin'
Blues". On top of that, (yup, there's more!) the CD is enhanced and
offers the following features:
"Divining Davina, a game that incorporates Davina's Spirituality, the
Chakra colors, and music, videos, pictures, a biography, links to some of
the best entertainment sites on the web, and receive 50 free hours of
internet time."
I hear they would have added the bag of chips if it wasn't for trade
rules! =)
Anyway, now I have to find some side job so I can make enough money to buy
these CDs and whatever else comes out!
Peace!
