I've randomly seen Jamelia around town and I'm thinking shouldn't you be in the studio or something. But then I remember she got dropped. She did have some good songs like 'superstar' and 'see it in a boys eyes' but claims that she was the U.K.'s answer to Beyonce were laughable.
I can't knock her too much though- she is from Birmingham and its her big day tomorrow. She's getting married to footballer Darren Byfield who knew? To celebrate here's her debut single 'money'featuring Beenie Man released in 2000 taken from her debut album 'Drama' Enjoy!

Weekly Throwback
Dammit where does the time go? It's friday again! For this weeks throwback I've decided to do a slow jam coz i don't think we have before. Heres changing faces with their debut single 'Stroke you up' all the way from 1994! I can't even front like I remember it from then I recently rediscovered it through a friend and its been on heavy rotation on my ipod since.
R Kelly was the 'mastermind' behind this group who never really hit the big time but were one of the better R'n'B girl groups of the '90's. Their song G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T (even with the annoying spelling) is still one of my favourite tunes. Enjoy the vid

Lets get these throwbacks back on track shall we? Thats a hard sentence to say try it. Since the summer is fast approaching I thought this track would be perfect. This is a classic NO-ONE can tell me that they didn't love this tune. I present to you Sweet Female Attitude with 'Flowers' from 2000. This just takes me back man to happy sunny days i think i was in y5 at school when this was out. Listen to me i sound like a pensioner at the grand old age of 18 lol. I seem to be always aking this question in the throwbacks but where are they now, these girls to me are the true definition of the phrase one-hit wonder! Enjoy the vid.

You just knew we had to do an Erykah Badu track, "On and On". This lady's amazing, her talent is so raw and timeless. It's strange that even at a real young age I could still appreciate her music. This video makes me laugh though. Did you see how hard she was tuggin' at that little girl's hair?! Poor thing. And when she threw her hot tea on the man's neck.. lol.. I know in real life that defiantly aint funny!
Like she says, her "cypher keeps going like a rolling stone". Erykah's still right about that, she's still continuing to make music in '08 touching many people's minds. Check out "Healer" weird but interesting song by her. Especially if you listen to it through earphones.. my gosh!

I thought it was about time we featured a u.k artist for the throwback. So heres Shola Ama with 'you might need somebody' all the way from 1997.
I can't believe it was so long ago i remember it like it was yesterday and i was seven at the time!
I was originally gonna post you're the one i love' now that was my tune but i can't find it anywhere its like its been wiped from existence.
Where's Shola at now? Anyone remember she tried to make a comeback a few years ago with that track 'you should really know?' It was the answerback to Mario Winans ,the WACK naila boss was on it! Think a u.k lil mama but a really crap version lol

Ok so its been a minute since the last post but all of us have been mad busy its a stressful time at the moment with exams and stuff. Anyways I'm back on the throwbacks thanks to Lovehate for last weeks one well done you get a gold star :-) This weeks song is one I still listen to all the time Kelis' 'Get Along With You' from her debut album 'Kaleidoscope.' Kelis always stood out from the rest of the other singers out there with tunes like 'Caught Out There' and 'Milkshake' she was just always herself. This video was something different and fresh at the time and made me like the song even more. The reason I'm writing in the past tense is bcoz she got dropped from her label so I'm not sure if we'll hear any more music from her anytime soon. Wtf is going on when Kelis gets dropped but Cassie is about to release a new album??
Kmt enjoy the vid.

Hi people! This week I'm doing this feature thanks to Karma(if you want me to replace her just let me know... haha just messing!).
Originally I was gonna post a really old classic, but this song fits the bill. Destiny's Child No No No, the REMIX! Yes yes, birth on the year 1997! lol. I use to love this song, and honestly I can still listen to it. I have so many nice memories attached to this song, thanks to my older sis I have inherited a pretty good ear for music lol. I can remember me singing the No no part as a little kid (probz 8 years old) dancing around. I am actually emotionally scarred though as I can recall my mom telling me to stop "warbling", I think I was tryna do a Beyonce, like stretching out the notes LOL.. Im unable to sing properly in public now!
Anyway, enough of my life story! Sit back and enjoy this song, and I KNOW you'll be turning the volume up to grab a hairbrush to sing infront of the mirror.

Yes it's that time again. This week I'm taking it waaaaaaaay back to 1994 with TLC's 'Creep.' The groups first number 1 single taken from their multi-platinum second album 'CrazySexyCool' which is titled after their different personalities with Chilli being sexy and T-Boz being cool, leaving no doubt over who was crazy!
Damn it's hard to believe this song is 14 years old!!

Welcome 2 the first of our weekly throwback features, where we celebrate music of days gone by. First off I thought we'd start with one of my favourite artists and one of my favourite songs. It is of course the late great Aaliyah with 4 page letter.
Enjoy!!
