Music of the Month: September 2006
In my effort to give back to the music industry, from whom I have "borrowed" music from for the past 10 years, I am going myself a budget of $30/month to purchase new or used CDs. Past purchases: All of Bjork's albums (Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, Medulla), Sunshine Anderson, and Brandy (Full Moon, Afrodiasic).
So this month's purchases are:
Janet - 20 Y.O. (Deluxe Edition)
Of course, I have to get this. I would a crime if I didn't buy this album. Even though the first two singles were not my cup of tea, I am loving "Enjoy". I hope there are more tracks like that on the album.
Beyonce - B'Day
I have been listening to this album for the past couple of weeks, and I really like it. I liked "Deja Vu" a lot but I kept reading that it was "Crazy In Love (Part II)". Was it because the collaborated with Jay-Z or because both songs used horns? I don't get the comparison. With that said, "Deja Vu" doesn't really fit too well with the hard sound of album ... it is too slick, production-wise. My favorite tracks: "Upgrade U", "Suga Mama", and "Kitty Kat".
En Vogue - Born To Sing
"Hold On" is one of those songs that I will always remember. The accapela intro, the video of the ladies wearing black mini dress, the tight harmonies ... this is what a girl group should be. I think En Vogue was the last great R&B girl group.
So these are my selections for this month. Stay tuned for October's selections!

I think the Janet album is going to be really dope, I like everything I've heard from it so far...matter of fact, I don't ever think I've heard some music from her that I didn't like...but then again, maybe it's because she's just as gorgeous (if not MORE gorgeous) as she was years ago...either way, her album is going to get copped
