Hot Like Ayah: Heavy Rotation
I often have trouble answering the question, "What new albums are you listening to lately?" But today, I will attempt to share a few albums that I have in heavy rotation. Right now, these albums hold that distinction: The Foreign Exchange's Leave it All Behind and Tona's Direct Deposit (although it's not out yet, hey friendship has its privileges).
Damn, is that it?
Sadly, yes. I'm just saying, from the newer albums out there, I think that's close to it!
There are some older albums that I still listen to like, Mary's What's the 411, Jill's Who is Jill Scott, Kanye's Graduation, Legend's Get Lifted, Nas' Illmatic and Stillmatic, or Nina Simone's Greatest Hits.
To be honest, these will always be in rotation. Many will come and go, but those albums are truly classic!
So, now I have to ask: What are you listening to?
Stay Hot!

SoulUK | April 1, 2009 9:13 AM | Permalinki'm all over the place with my ipod, but the last 5 songs that came up in shuffle mode were "you can leave but its going to cost you" by marvin, "church" by sean price, "blue hawaii" by sinatra, "time of your life" by lil brother, and "intro for roger" by quik.
marcus | April 1, 2009 1:29 AM | PermalinkAmy B is a woman after my own heart. Her iPod and mine must be twins. I get so much music in my inbox that I would have to blog in the comments to let ya'll know everything I'm listening to. It really depends on my mood. This week alone I've listened to Reel People, Lizz Wright, Sabrina Starke, Giovanca, Lisa Shaw, PPP, Bilal. All over the place.
One new name is Damon Aaron. Listening to him now and FEELING it!
Vivrant Thang | April 1, 2009 12:03 AM | Permalinkas for new releases, been rocking the new Shawn Lee album on Ubiquity and the Nat King Cole remix project. totally agree with Amy B regarding Damon Aaron - that cat is the truth.
macedonia | March 31, 2009 10:16 PM | PermalinkWithout a doubt Foreign Exchange is constantly on my playlist. But other artists that are on heavy rotation for me are Jose James, Damon Aaron, Coultrain, PPP and my girl Tawiah from UK
Amy B | March 31, 2009 9:37 PM | PermalinkI absolutely LOVE Foreign Exchange's new album. Their sound is beautifully distinctive. I visit their "Myspace" page on the regular.
