If I had to pick my top 5 favorite Michael Jackson songs,...

If I had to pick my top 5 favorite Michael Jackson songs, “I Can’t Help It” would DEFINITELY make my list. And even though I’m not always a fan of artist covers, I will always give covers of “I Can’t Help It” a listen to see how artists are going to put their funk on it, if you will.

I love Esperanza Spalding’s jazzy version! Esperanza even gives us a little Minnie Riperton towards the end of the track…LOVE Minnie!

“I Can’t Help It” can be found on Radio Music Society, due out in March.

Shout out to Bamalovesoul for making the song available on Soundcloud!

After hearing “Only Wanna Give It To You featuring J. Cole”, I knew that Elle Varner would be an artist who I would want to hear more from. So you can imagine that I was super excited when I saw that Elle was releasing a mixtape back in January!

If you are a fan of her first singe, do yourself a funky favor and listen to Elle Varner’s Conversational Lush and, if you love what you are hearing (and I know you will!), head over to Dat Piff to download Conversational Lush IMMEDIATELY!

Let me start by saying I LOVE NINA SKY! Your favorite twins...

Let me start by saying I LOVE NINA SKY!

Your favorite twins released The Other Side (go check it out! It’s dope!) almost two years ago and I played it nonstop for over eight months. The Other Side left me feenin’ for more Nina Sky music…and we finally got a new track!

After listening to “Day Dreaming”, I definitely can’t wait for Nina Sky’s new album “Nicole & Natalie” to drop in July!

I am not ashamed to admit that I’m a card-carrying member of #TeamBreezy, so when I heard that Chris Brown’s new track, “Turn Up The Music” off his upcoming album, ‘Fortune’ was dropping I HAD to check it out!

Seriously, this is my jam. It is the FIRST song that I listen in the morning when I start my day…every day! It is one of those songs that instantly makes me want to move and gets me pumped for whatever comes my way!

When I first heard Jade Alston’s song...

When I first heard Jade Alston’s song “Searching”, I instantly knew I wanted to hear more from her. My search led me to her new Mixtape - Single On A Single Night! According to Jade:

“The EP tells the story of a newly single young woman (ME!) and her experiences on a Saturday night. Each song plays like a entry of a single woman’s journal…”

I am an instant fan…and S.O.S.N. has become a part of the daily soundtrack of my life!

AU·DI·O AWE·SOME·NESS

[aw-dee-oh aw-suh‘m-nis] (noun):

music from any genre that immediately evokes feeling, triggers a memory or makes the listener dance and is pleasing to the listener’s eardrums.

*****

I am often asked for music recommendations…and I am constantly emailing friends and family with new artists and music to check out. So I thought to myself, “self, why don’t you just find a way to put all of the music that you are listening to in one place?” At that moment, Audio Awesomeness was born!

I’m always in search of new Audio Awesomeness, so if you have an artist or music that I MUST check out, feel free to send it to me at: audio.awesomeness@gmail.com!
