John Legend Going Mainstream

Posted by Mika on Apr 29, 2008 • (No comment)

legend.jpgLegend’s new album is said to be more mainstream and radio friendly than his previous outing, 2006’s “Once Again,” and his 2004 debut, “Get Lifted.” This time around, the Grammy-winner has replaced his usual live instruments with 808 drums and futuristic synthesizers. “The last record was mellower,” says Legend. “The production this time is a little more up-tempo and more pop sounding than the last one.”

Legend is putting the finishing touches on his first single, “Green Light,” featuring Outkast’s Andre 3000, and expects to shoot the video in May. “It’s Over” featuring Kanye West and produced by Pharrell Williams may be the second single but Legend isn’t sure.

Tiny Teyana Is Livin’ Large

m_2f483d360b6f596dc3746989171a369f.jpg“When in doubt, wear Jordans,” says 17-year-old Teyana Taylor, pointing down to her tiny feet. Genius out of the mouth of babes. You may not know who she is, but just “Google Me,” the title of her popular Internet single. The good life is coming – Taylor recently moved out of Harlem and into a Trump property in Westchester – but Pharrell Williams’ pretty protégé prides herself on keeping it real. “I wear a lot of Hell’s Belles, Diesel and a lot of Billionaire Boys Club,” says Taylor,. “Jeans, Jordans and a hat. It really don’t matter about the brand as long as they fit cute.”

Taylor is equal parts skater girl and Harlem princess with a twist of tomboy: Taverniti jeans, American Apparel hoodie, Cavalli necklace under a $5 boombox chain from girlprops.com and Jordans (duh). She says her style is influenced by the streets of Harlem. “If someone know they look fly, they’ll catwalk down the street because the street of Harlem is like a runway,” she says.

Out Of Control Gets 4 Stars !

Kenna – Out Of Control (State of Emotion)

More on: Kenna

Label: Star Trak
Release Date: 28/04/08
Rating:

With a beat that sounds like a direct port from an N.E.R.D album and a lorry load of crisp effects, it’s safe to say The Neptunes‘ production of ‘Out Of Control’ has left its mark on the single. Kenna should be thanking his lucky stars though, because it sounds absolutely brilliant.

Flowing through the angst-packed lyrics with finesse and a snarl or two, sadly held back by the pop sensibilities of the song, the Ethiopian-born American still adds plenty of soul to the heady mix of throbbing beats and post-rock guitars. What quickly becomes noticeable (or rather, not noticeable) is the silky smooth manner in which fragments of electronica, synth pop and a peppering of rock blend together impeccably throughout the song.

Kenna and The Neptunes have created Southern Comfort, rather than the Deep South ASDA own brand that represents the outcome for many an artist wanting to ‘diversify’ their sound. The different genres represented here are blended expertly into a seamless cocktail that avoids the curious aftertaste often left by the poorly-mixed supermarket equivalent.

It may be a bold statement to make at this early point, but if Kenna continues rocking polished gems like this, Pharrell Williams may have found someone worthy of carrying on his moniker for the next generation.
