N'dambi live@bandonthewall review

When i heard the soulstress from dallas was going to be in band on the wall, i didn't hesitate to get tickets. The fiery n'dambi kicked off the first segment with songs from pink elephant (L.I.E , What it takes & Nobody Jones - clearly my favourite track on the album ). She explains the track what it takes was inspired by the obamas. As a songwriter, she explains she writes through other peoples experiences.
The 2nd segment of the showed the fiery songstress at her best. She carries on with songs from her new record-  Ooo Baby & imitator.

She goes on to do an acoustic version of  Sunshine (from her debut album, a little lost girl's blues - a song she loves to perform when she's on the road. To be honest, i only got on n'dambi when i heard can't hardly wait off her Stax debut. I had come across her name a few years ago but didn't pay much attention. I am definitely going to be copping A little lost girl's blues after songs like sunshine & lonely woman won me over. She gives us a little freestyle at the beginning of can't hardly wait on how the lyrics came to her when listening to ugk. She closes the amazing set with the upbeat the world is a beat. Catch her if you can on wednesday for one night only at the jazz cafe.

In the last few days, I have been listening to erykah badu's old records. Can't believe i've overlooked all her records since her debut, baduizm. The only album i gave the time of day was worldwide underground. It's like discovering a brand new artist cos i have just got into her music. New amerykah part I was the reason i decided to dig out her old records and give them a listen. I haven't been disappointed so far. Her new album drops in March & I am definitely looking forward to it. The singles so far ( jump in the air & window seat) are BIG tracks :).

same old same old with ...louise golbey

Louise golbey came to my attention only a few days ago (courtesy of ronnie herel ). She is a london based singer songwriter. Her EP 'how it is' is worth checking out.

Michael Olatuja speaks

speak is the great début album from the british/nigerian bassist. Vocalists on the album include the late lynden david hall, alicia olatuja, terri walker , andrew roachford and Eska Mtungwazi. It's a solid 10 track soul/jazz album - no fillers on this record. Definitely worth the listen.
