“The EP” by DeZishun & She-Know (R&B artist from New Jersey (NJ))

"The EP" by DeZishun & She-Know is a very lively collection of R&B-pop crossover tunes. The addictive dance beat makes it hard not to move your body to these tracks. Especially memorable are the female vocals on "Lucky Girl" and "Street Pressure." The opening-track, "Let's Party 'Mommie Move Your Body'," flaunts a very addictive musical hook and chorus melody. "Girls Rain" opens with a very eerie, middle-eastern voice melody and makes a smooth transition into a beat driven hip-hop track. Lyrically, these songs are written with care and relevance, tackling issues of love, street life, and growing up. Furthermore, creative production elements bring together the other strong elements of the music into an enjoyable collection of R&B-pop tracks.

"As I Am" by Alicia Keys (R&B/Pop artist from New York (NY))

Gracing the music world with her first release in four years, Alicia Key's latest, "As I Am," delivers an overdose of genuine soul. Backed by very organic musical compositions, Keys shines vocally more in this album than perhaps any other. The very inspirational ballad dubbed "Superwoman" delivers a very loud-and-proud message to all the hard-working, independent women out there. Other stand-out tracks include the stripped-down and sincere "Lesson Learned," the slightly retro "Wreckless Love," and the groovy beat-driven "I Need You."
