Today is Music Monday! I don’t know
if this happens for you, but I can be minding my own business and just hear a
song that just takes me where I need to be.
And that happened to me just this morning. I am on my way to work all late and hungry
cause I had to make sure the roommate was good to go and this song comes on the
radio. I instantly know its Tank because
his voice has a certain something that sets him apart from others. It was his title song to his new cd
Stronger. And I was like YES!! I need to get this cd right now… well not
right now cause I’m still driving but I need this cd in my life! His first single ‘You’re my Star’ has this
retro feel to it and I really wasn’t feeling it until I saw the video and being
the video vixen I am in my mind it made wanna get up, get in shape and go try
out for the next video shoot happening in the good Baltimore a la the old Aunt
Viv when she still had it but then decided she didn’t really want it. So now I am listing to the CD on the youtube
and I am happy about my purchase on the amazon and did anyone else know that
prime went from 79 to 99 bucks!??! I know these are run ons but stay with
me! So this cd is H O T N E S S!! This is his 6the cd and I‘m wondering if I
need to revisit 1-5? I know he wrote
some song for Jamie Foxx and I bought his dumb 1st cd and was
greatly disappointed. Except for
Unpredictable because it had Ludacris on it and doesn’t he always make any
corny song better?! HE DOES!! Ok back to
Tank… I totally missed him at the Essence the year I went because I was on my
grind tryna get to the super lounges. I saw sexy Ty!!! But I missed the other T
and G. I don’t really know what happened
with the whole TGT thing. I wasn’t
really here for it but you know 3 sexy mens I should have been, right? I think r&b is inundated with
sameness. Singers sound the same, songs
sound the same. Producers who work with different
artists do the same thing. I like my
independent people for just that reason, they try different things. So I keep Eric Robeson, Anthony David and the
like around for some plain old good music!
I’m going back through some of his old stuff… while I appreciate the
shirtlessness, I think I’ll stick with this one.
The roommate is home!
She had a temporary stay at the good assisted living because she fell
and fractured her ankle in August. It
was a good break for the both of us. I
am getting myself back into the swing of things, namely buying groceries and
cooking. I have a bad habit of eating
out too much probably a good reason my ass, boobs, and belly won’t get any
smaller.
I’ve had a few epiphanies recently. 1.) I need to stop blaming outside things for
me being unsettled. It’s no one else’s
fault but my own for not getting my shit together. 2.) Everyone is not in the same season at the
same time. What I am going through might not be what you are going through and
even if you have some sound advice for me, I might not be in the space to hear
it. It goes both ways. 3.) and this is an extension of 2… we all
have different fears and re-naming it to make it sound like it’s not a fear
doesn’t make it any less of a fear. Take
these however you need to take it.
Now I am on to Tevin Campbell… what happened to him? The Wikipedia
page said he is working on a new CD. I used to sing at the top of my lungs to
him driving to and from the good VSU!! There were several tapes (HA TAPES!!!)
the red Renault had a tape deck LOL I did a lot of singing and praying between
Petersburg and DC cause once I hit 495 I
had to concentrate.
