Making the Band: Danity Kane



So here is my Welcome to the Dollhouse album review. I like the title its cute and it fits the sound they were going with. With this review I'm a lil more used to their album since it came out earlier. I am actually tempted to buy this one cuz i love the girls and i like the album. I'll see how that works out.

Intro Welcome to the Dollhouse: i like how it starts off i just wish it wasn't Diddy doing the intro but i guess it makes sense.
Bad Girl: love the beat produced by Danja, sometimes we have to be bad girls right. Also love the feature by Missy it just fits. This definitely has potential to be a single especially for the summer. 8.4

Damaged: I am loving this song right now so i cant really judge it in comparison to the other songs I'm more accustomed to this one. Is nice to see all the girls really shine on this song. Nice to see Shannon as the lead. The subject is really relatable a lot of girls have issues from past relationships and are wanting for some guy to fix it for them lol. 8.5

Prettyboy: Another nice fun beat i could see myself dancing at bottoms up to this one. What do they mean by come wipe me down though, it sounds really nasty lol. I like it though. 8.4

Striptease: there are things i despise and like about this song. On a positive note i like the fact that the girls wrote this song and its lively and catchy. I don't like the fact that certain parts of the song Danja got them sounding like Britney spears on Piece of me i think is some kind of sound effect. Why is the song just 3:15. Its nice but they could have added at least 30 more seconds. Overall nice song. 7.9

Sucka for Love: I also really like this song it has something robotic and that whole Euro pop vibe me likey it just takes me to a good place. I like how Dawn sounds on this and what she brings to the group. Her voice is really unique and makes them so much better. Her voice is very distinctive and powerful. I must admit that i am a sucka for love so this song really resonates with me. i think this could be a single too. This song is also very short and i don't get it , its not even three min that's a minus for me its like u're into it then it ends 8.3

Secret Place( interlude): this one was written by the girls. I liked this song u could really feel the girls on this one. I just wish it was a whole song but it connects well into Ecstasy they have a similar vibe.

Ecstasy: this song features Rick Ross i guess that works since he is "whats in now" maybe they bumped in to him in Miami. This song is nice too. Talks about that feeling u get when you are realllllly feeling someone(like how Dawn feels about Q). That is one of the best feelings , of course when the feeling is reciprocated lol. Its not like the other songs this one is much mellow and very sleek and sexy has a nice beat to it too. Am really feeling this song 8.5

2 of you: this song continues where Ecstasy left off. talks about how much they are feeling a certain guy sooo much there must be two of him. its more up tempo than ecstasy, the ladies do a lil rapping or something like that on this track it sounded like Aubrey and D woods (not sure if its her). Its a fun song. 7.9

Lights out: Another proud moment this song written by Dawn Richard. Its basically how a girl changes when the lights go out and her sexiness comes out. Its an interesting concept and it has a fun interesting beat. I am really feeling this one. 8.2

Picture This: Interlude Aubrey and D. Woods talking...

Poetry: Deep song feels naked(vocally & lyrically)simple beat so u can really feel them and where they are coming from. 9

Key to your heart: i like the subject matter,but there was something weird about this one, it was difft from the other tracks. Of course once i was getting used to it ended. the song is less than 3 min wow. 7
Flashback interlude: this is another song that should have been a full song. This one was written by Dwoods and Dawn.

Is anybody listening: this is one of the songs on the album that i really like. The subject matter is also very relatable. Basically about someone going through something and they need support to make it through. Has a nice laid back beat to it. 8.5
Aint Going Nowhere: Day 26 and Donnie Klang: same comment from day 26 review

Bonus track- Make me sick: its an ok song but it does sound like a throwaway track

Overall i liked the album its difft and they definitely had a vision for this album. However i felt they could have used some more time. some of those interludes should have been full songs, and some of the songs just seem unfinished. Regardless production suited the girls except for that one song that sounded a Lil like Britney. The album is good i think they have a lot of potential singles so i will not pick my favorites. I think they are headed towards the right direction. Me personally i like that funky euro pop sound, sometimes we just need to be flirty, and have fun. That's what this album is but not cheesy. Also nice to see them writing some of their material. I will give the album an 8.5.
faves: ecstasy, sucka for love,is anybody listening, damaged, lights out, poetry, prettyboy, secret place

Making the band Day 26



so i decided to dedicate today to making the band : the show and the artists. Why because it gave me something to look forward to every monday. This season was cool and nice to see some talented ppl getting some shine.

Day 26 album review- I did not purchase it and i dont know if i will. I'm still thinking bout it. I'm just not the type to buy albums the last one i got was new editin gold (lol) and that was not even recent i guess im stuck in the past. This is based from on me listening to the album on the Leak on mtv.com http://www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/day_26/day_26/#. Maybe i will decide to buy it after i listen to it a couple more times. I just really need to be in looooove with an album in order to buy it. Although im loving the debut album from the guys im not in love yet dont know if it will happen.

The reason- apparently about an ungrateful girl. nice uptempo beat "am the reason u walking like you walking, you talking like you talking" i like how it ends 6.8

Got me going- produced by mario winans i really like the beat reminiscent there is something old and familiar about the beat. i like the subject matter a lot of ppl can relate to. Voice wise they all did good with their parts
8.5 its kinda hard for me to judge this song since its the lead single.

In my bed- once again nice upbeat tempo i like how qwanell started it off they talk about their skills in the bedroom. i like the energy on this song 8

Silly love- it sounds like Q started this song off as well im not just saying this cuz its q but i like the sound of his voice it has a coo(ness)to it robert also has a nice distinct voice probably his voice sounds very difft. Brian also has that old skool r&b jodeci thing with his voice
he always brings sexiness and excitement to the song kinda nice love song. and last but not least big mike just brings so much heart when he sings u could just feel it. they all have really great voices 7.5

Come with me- i also like this song i love how willie starts off he brings some maturity to the group with his voice he always sounds like a pro like he knows what he is doing. His voice doesnt sound like but reminds me of ginuwine. His voice is also versatile i think thats why he gets a lot of parts. Once again lol i like q's part on this its interesting it got a rise out of me. i like Brians sound toward the end. 7.9

Co star- nice ballad a lil upbeat. nice song overall 7.5

Come in- has a nice r&b slowjam vibe i like the chorus . The better of the slower songs. 7.3 to 8.2

Are we in this together- produced by b cox im not sure who starts this off if its q or willie but they pull you in . the vibe is similar to the previous song. the subject matter on this one is more relatable and a lil deeper. It is also more heartfelt. personally i really like this song it the vibe of the song just really appeals to me. Nice simple beat and the guys do all the work. 8.2

What if feels like- another slow jam nice song, ok addition to the album doesnt do anything special but its not a bad song. very sexy song though would be a perfect song for exactly what they are singing about. A nice romantic night would probably lead to some good ... 6.8

Since youve been gone - which is supposed to be the next single , another nice simple beat. Talks about a guy having a hard time getting over his ex and practically begging her to come back. Its a really nice song i just dont think it should be the next single. It should be more like the last single a gift for the fans. It is a nice r&b song. 8

If it wasnt for you - the beat has a lil more going on this track. Its a regualr beat nothing special like how it starts and how it changes up before the chorus though. I think this one should be dedicated to their fans. 7.5

Dont fight the feeling- same comment as what it feels like 7.2

Aint going- this one features danity kane alright song, they were not making me move with this one, did not do anything special for me ,allright beat. since its a duet with dk i think it could have been better.

Exclusive- the last song on the album is exclusive,that would have been a good single, that song is better than most songs on the album! 8.5

Overall its a really good album(it took a few listens though). However i felt it lacked in production towards the end the beats sounded a lil redundant. I did not really see a vision with their sound in comparison with danity kanes album whether u like it or not u could see where they are going with it. Although none of the songs suck at all. Most of the songs are good. I do feel like with the talent at hand the boys can do so much more. The tracks just did not bring a whole lot out of them except for maybe 3 of them. This could be a repetition of what DK's first album was although i really liked a few songs on there and still do.I just think with the voices they have they just need to go in a whole new direction. The whole upbeat r&b thing seems to fit them, maybe they should try some love ballads like (cupid, can you stand the rain, on bended knee, end of the road). With their voices i think they should go on the boys 2 men route(cooley high harmony,End of the road and II) with some uptempo stuff similar to new edition, basically a hybrid of new edition and boyz2men and they would be destined for sucess. Diddy needs to get micheal bivins back and they should work with babyface(i love him). also is it me or were mike and Q missing on most of the tracks. I heard a lot of Willie, Brian A & Robert. Overall i will give it a solid 8.

my faves: in my bed, got me going, exclusive, come with me, co star, Are we in this together , come in, since youve been gone
honorable mention: come in, since youve been gone(maybe some more listens will move it to my faves and it actually happened), silly love

Some of my FAV PPls

Welcome back

well i will like to give my self a big welcome back to the Blog World.
I have been on hiatus for a while due to lack of time. I have been pretty busy lately but im back.
up in the morning (not good) listening to My New Edition Gold Cd my fav male group i just love them all.
looking forward to going home for spring break, i just need a break and need to get away from this school enviroment and this city for a while.
Ive also been wondering a lot about someone from the past. This person is probably not worth wondering about, but on the other hand they might be who knows.
All i know is i need to stop cuz this is not healthy lol.
50 more days till graduation now that is great.
looking forward to stepping up by Academic game back to how it was in the beggining of the semester ive become a lil distracted due to other obligations in my life.
looking forward to travelling this summer.
loving Danity Kanes new song and vid so much fun and i love the dance moves. Its nice to have a female group and a male one out there again. They do have some talent too bad they with badboy lol but good luck to them. I also love the guys vid but will do as lil segment on that later.

I am starting to get worried about getting a job after graduation :( and why did it have to affect my field the most.


so thats whats on my mind right now.

Kofi Annan- A great person


ok so my person of the week and very deservedly is Kofi Annan.
No he is not my person of the week because he is my fellow country man(shout out to Ghana lol), or because he won the Nobel peace prize in 2001, or that he served for 10 yrs as the secretary general of the UN but rather because of his work to bring peace in Kenya.
Kofi Annan once said “In their greatest hour of need, the world failed the people of Rwanda.” but in Kenya's greatest hour of need he did not fail them preventing a possibility of the recurrence of the killings that happened in Rwanda. One article called his contributions as chief mediator magic. You may or may not have heard about the situation in kenya for the past 2 months, over rigged elections between president Mwai Kibaki and opposition party leader Raila Odinga. Before Kofi Annan other dignitaries tried to resolve the issue including current president of Ghana and president of the African Union, president Museveni of Uganda to no avail. What they were not able to Kofi Annan has done. At least for now a peace deal has been reached between the two parties for president Kibaki to retain his position and Odinga to become prime minister. positions in cabinet will be divided between the two parties etc. I could go on about the issues but i am very happy about this deal because over 1500 people died over the debacle and thousands of Kenyans are displaced as a result. For now i am glad its over we definitely have a long way to go but we have moved forward. I thank Kofi Annan For his hard work and not giving up when talks were stalling or it seemed the was no hope for peace. I also thank him for continuing to promote peace even though he is not secretary general any more and is therefore not required to deal with these kind of problems. lastly thanks to the president of Tanzania and chairman of the African Union Jakaya kikwete, i have read he played a key role during the last days b4 the deal.

things fall apart



damn its been a crazy week and i feel like everything around me is falling apart. I dont know what to do, no matter how hard i try i just cant keep it all together. I fix one problem to encounter another. From school , family, financially, social activities i mean almost every facet of my life. I dont know what to do but i guess i should count my self luckY Bcuz some people definately have it worse. I'm so tired i need a break i wish i was in a nice and warm place right now just playing in the water how great would that be. At the end of the day though it is what is and all i can do is keep trying. Well i just cant wait for some of this hell to be over 2 months till graduation. on a brighter note if you could be anywhere right now where would it be. At times like this the best thing to do is to just close your eyes and imagine that you're somewhere else and listen to music.

Although there are a lot of places i would like to visit. Right now if i had to go anywhere in the states i would go to Miami i know thats so cliche but really it's a fun hot place that i have not been to so why not. Outside this country i would want to go to my homeland Ghana why because i miss my brother, extended family, old freinds,culture, nice people,great weather, beaches, greaat food etc etc.
so where would you go ? hopefully someone will answer lol

Usher - Love in this Club ft Young Jeezy w/ the Lyrics


so i came along this track on vibe.com

this is supposed to be one of ushers new tracks on his upcoming album that he is working on.

It was produced by Polow da Don and he actually leaked the track hmm how sad but thats a whole other topic.

I like it not bad im curious to see how his new album will sound hope its a banger. The song recieved good feedback though so thats good.
Any Comments on the song???

Just Like You


i havent done my music posts in a while but between yesterday ive been bumping the hell out of the latest Keyshia Cole album once again.

I never used to like Keyshia Cole b4, sure i thought she was talented but a bit whinny and that turned me off. I liked her songs but a couple of seconds into it and it would be just too much. Most of my friends disagree with this but hey its my opinion. I was'nt crazy about her first album when a lot of people were crazy about it.

However i love her new album. Trully its collectively one of the better albums ive heard in a while, you could really listen to it from A-Z. She kinda toned it down a bit and still sung her heart out and you could really feel it. I actually think the first single (Let It Go) is one of the weakest tracks on the album(not saying it was a weak track in itself i like the song) but it was definately the most commercial one i loved that that lil kim verse though(kick him to the curb like david beckham).

Anywhoo after taking a break from the Album "Just like you" for a while i started listening to it yest and im just loving it alll over again.


my fav tracks are Heaven sent( i have added this to my imeem playlist above), fallin out, work it out , I remember. Just nice R&B Tunez that any female can relate to. I really like the difft things she sings about on the album. The other songs i nice as well.


If you have'nt already get the album and support a sista. Its old but its neva too late to catch up.

What is love?


What is love?
Better yet who is Love?
to me love is friendship, loyalty, someone who sees the best in you and encourages you to be exactly that, someone who accepts you for all your shortcomings and appreciates you for all that you are, someone you can always depend on,someone you will still worry about even when you are in your lowest of lows, the thought or sight of them brings a smile to your face, and someone who will do almost anything to see that same smile on your face.
to me love is not merely a feeling or actions but all the ppl that God picked to be in my life forever thru blood, by choice whether thier family , freinds, or my special someone. Whether i know them now or i will in the future. I hope i have the patience to deal with you everyday and the strength to always give you nothing short of what you deserve, and the sense to realize your importance each and every day , from dusk till dawn, down to each millisecond.
To me this is what real love is not that anyone is going to be this perfect but what is important, is the fact that they will work to be that perfect for YOU because they know your worth.
today (FEB 16) i say happy valentines day to all the ppl i feel this way and will feel this way about because valentines day is not just on february 14th but it is everyday because YOU are love and what we have is true and is for eternity.
thank you for being you because you are love, MY love my very very own you may not be perfect but your love is.

Is it me ?

oh man i have'nt posted here in so long.
ive been a little busy and truthfully i havent been inspired.
i decided to post something today
it has trully been an interesting week wow. for some reason im feeling kinda down right now.
For reasons i will choose to not talk about. I heard this song(suffocate-jay holiday on the right) a while back i always thought it was cool but i wasnt crazy about it for some reason lately ive been really feeling it. In the course of writing this ive realized one of my problems i am suffocating

Basically there are certain things i would like to but when i have the opportunity i suffocate it because i feel its not the right opportunity and or time. Lately im feeling like i will suffocate one day as a result. I really want this to change but i really havent come upon an opportunity worth taking or have i?, maybe im too picky or maybe im right who knows. Anyhow im feeling real weird and confused now hope i figure all this stuff out. Yest someone told me i need to take more risks and this has got me thinking. However i will analyze this tomm im feeling too tired. I need to sleep but some part of me is telling me stay up. I think i will end here though for tonight tbc tomm. I'm too out of it
enjoy the song : )

update: i didnt get time to finish my.. today but most likely tomm ill probably rewrite the whole thing.

Sky's the limit




i have a great love for music so i will be putting up a lot of songs /vids. just sharing my musical moods. sometimes its the message, the artist, or the melody/ rhythm that catches my attention.

today im starting off with Biggie's Sky's(R.I.P) the limit fea 112
No i did not have an upbringing comparable to his (that would be a whole different story), at the end of the day we all (well some ppl) aim to do better for themselves. So i love what hes saying especially what 112 is singing in the chorus.

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on Just keep on pressin on Sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, pressin what you want Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on Just keep on pressin on Sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be what you want, have what you want, be what you want

XoXo
u know who it is

New begginings


hello blog world

this is my first blog,

i think it is appropriate for me to let you (whoever that maybe) in on why i decided to join the blog world

i hope this will serve as sought of a diary where i can share my thoughts, clear my head , share my interests , document my path through womanhood ...


right now i'm still figuring out who i am, my strengths my weaknesses and trying to get comfortable with that. I believe that is one of the key to success once you know who you are the journey should be easier from there. It will be much easier to stay true to yourself , make important decisions and share your self with others. You can only get better by acknowledging your true form...
"When I discover who I am, I’ll be free." Author: Ralph Ellison


In light of this i would like my good Friends who are lucky enough to peep this blog : ) to do me a favor and tell me what they think my weakness and strengths are as a person (do so by making a comment). That should be an interesting icebreaker, anywhoo i think this is enough for my first post. Hope you will join me for the ride.


XOXO
