Woo! So hot off the presses, drummer Lil John Roberts has a new joint featuring Musiq Soulchild (one of my faves and I only have two!) and Chantae Cann. I love Chantae Cann’s voice! She can sang! And of course Musiq never fails. Lil Joh
n lets the artists do their thing on this release and together, their harmonies are magical- my sangin friends and I all agreed! Lil John has been playing the background for a minute as drummer (you may know him having been previously linked to Jill Scott, Ledisi, Saadiq and many other majors). Much as the lyrics proclaim- its your (his) time to shine! I dig the inspirational flavor of it and I’m a sucker for meaningful lyrics and a good track. What say you, listeners? I caught this on the singersroom.com and it deserves a listen. Can you dig it or nah?

If you follow him on Instagram, you know that @HOWUSEEIT aka Usher Raymond has been teasing about his new song Good Kisser for a few weeks! As soon as I saw the title, I knew that it would be full of innuendo and I was on the mark. All you need to know is “Don’t nobody kiss it like you!” and “chitty, chitty, bang-bang” and you get the gist. I likened it to Kelly Rowland’s “Kisses Down Low” but with more flavor (sorry Kelly!). Produced by Pop, Flip, JProof, Terry “Tru” Sneed, Natural and Oak, the song lets Usher display his singing prowess including the falsetto we’ve come to love. The beat is pretty dope although it reminds me of songs by Amerie and others from the early part of the 2K. I heard the song via the video which includes a shirtless Usher on percussions and also dancing again (yay!)! Check it out and share your thoughts. Is it a hit or miss?
