Morning Soul: Time Makes Lovers Feel Like They Got Something Real

Let's hair it for Solange. [TOWS]Dionne Warwick arrived in flood-torn Manilla this morning, dedicating her concert to its victims. [IN]British singers swept the MOBOs...which makes complete sense. [BBC/R1]Aren't we over enunciating white saviors for soul music yet? [VV]Awww, is...

Theophilus London & Dante Offer You A Slice & Some Beats

Theophilus London has been on my one-to-watch list of late. His collaboration with Jesse Boykins III peaked my interest and his lack of twice weekly mixtapes puts him low on my "Annoying Artists" meter. And now, thanks to Dante's Fried Chicken, a...

Solange Knowles Is Responsible For The Entire '60s!

For anyone that's been sleeping under a rock for the past several months, Solange is an innovator. If not for her, so many R&B and Soul artists wouldn't be referencing the '60s in their sound and imagery. She recently took...

Solange Loves Her Some 'T.O.N.Y.'

It seems as though the throwback '60s Motown era has not only infiltrated some of today's music but the look of the music as well. Deciding to shoot the video in black and white is not really avant garde, nor...
