Brutha Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Growing up as one of 13 children isn’t an experience with which most of us are familiar; those of us who were brought up alongside just one or two siblings (or none) could be forgiven for assuming that such a living situation would be nothing but constant Cheaper by the Dozen-style bedlam without the heartwarming ending. Each of the five brothers that make up R&B group …

Dondria Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
The Internet has long shouldered more than its fair share of the blame for the less-than-ideal state of the music industry today. Its days as a scapegoat, however, look to be coming to an end, as the top dogs become more aware of its endless potential for the discovery and promotion of up-and-coming talent. A prime example of the web’s ability to bring a rising star …

Sterling Simms Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Due to the increasingly common phenomenon of formerly behind-the-scenes musical talent becoming full-fledged solo artists, listeners are becoming more and more aware of the individuals who masterminded past hits. Take Sterling Simms, for example; though you may know him best as a featured artist on the great J. Hova‘s “Dig a Hole,” he and his creative clique, the Knightwritaz, have done production and songwriting work for …

Anthony Hamilton Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
Those not fortunate enough to live in a locale where the sun shines year-round are probably beginning to feel the effects of the changing of the seasons right about now; shorter, cloudier days leave many feeling groggy and irritable, and these symptoms, if left untreated, can develop into the full-blown wintertime blahs by the time the holiday season rolls around. Have no fear, however: on December …

Musiq Soulchild Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
Setting one’s sights higher and higher with each release is a must for any artist who wants to build a long career and leave an enduring legacy. Take Musiq Soulchild, for example: in under a decade, the Philadelphia native has gone from just wanting to sing to requesting that his audience Juslisen, before establishing himself as a bona fide Soulstar. Not content to rest on his …

Nina Sky Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, Interviews
What could be better than a beautiful, multi-talented female R&B singer/songwriter? Nina Sky fans already know the answer to this question: a matching pair of them. The double-threat duo, composed of identical twin sisters Nicole and Natalie Albino, brings a lot to the table; both possessed of powerful singing voices and strong songwriting sensibilities, the two look to a wide range of influences, incorporating Nicole’s skills …

Jazmine Sullivan Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Think back to when you were 11 years old - how did you spend your time? If you’re like most of us, you were mainly occupied with things like doing homework (or making up excuses for your failure to do said homework), and passing notes to grade school crushes. R&B singer/songwriter Jazmine Sullivan, on the other hand, was making her national television debut at Showtime at …

Brandy Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
Brandy has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and as a result has taken home over 100 awards and honors. Yet the acclaimed singer and her pop hits have remarkably been absent from the charts for this entire half-decade. Now, more than four years since the release of her last project, “Aphrodisiac,” the 29-year-old is on the comeback trail with the impending release of her …

Joe Thomas Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
In the United States, the term “Average Joe” refers to an “average person.” In the case of veteran R&B singer Joe Thomas, however, the word “average” simply doesn’t apply. Over the last fifteen years, the Georgia-born artist has released six major albums, two of which received multi-platinum certifications, and has toured all throughout the world as a direct result. After spending the last decade signed to …

The-Dream & Tricky Stewart Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, Producer, R&B, Interviews
Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Terius “The-Dream” Nash took over the radio in March of 2007, and they haven’t loosened up their grip ever since. As Rihanna’s smash single, “Umbrella,” exploded across the country, the production and writing talents of both men immediately skyrocketed into high-demand. In the months to follow, the duo was courted to create hit records for Mary J. Blige (“Just Fine”), Mariah Carey …
