Mixtape Roundup

Crave, Volume 1

If our Morning Soul theme this week was any indicator, Male R&B needs to come back in a big way. There's definitely some notable artists holding it down across the board, but a good argument can be made that it's just not the same as it was in the past. That brings us to the first entry in a new series of podcast blends simply titled "Crave," where we'll slow it down from time to time. Whether it's old or new, a song about love or sex, or leans towards the mainstream or the underground, this first entry into the series should provide a solid respite from your loud, hippity-hoppity daily grind. Right-click the "download" link to save to your hard drive or left-click the "subscribe" link to launch iTunes and subscribe to this and succeeding episodes. Tracklist is after the bounce. Enjoy!

Very Nice Selection, Remember the Time when R&B was really R&B, in the mid 90s.
Still wainting for a new Maxwell Album

I was just conversing the other day with someone on Usher's first album. It was definitely a solid effort for the teen. I still play it sometime. I miss Jagged Edge and 112.

The 90's had some great Male R&B voices. This took me back. Excellent work Nova.

Bree   |   March 26, 2009 7:56 PM   |   Permalink

I needed something like this to jam to, with all the hip hop I've been listening to lately.
