R&B FEVER

You know the feeling when you hear a certain song and it just takes you back to that one special moment. You can visualize where you were, the people you were with, and most importantly what you felt at that time. For example, whenever I hear a Lucy Pearl song, I'm instantly transported to 1999. Sophomore year in college, living in my first apartment, and SINGLE! That was an unforgettable year and Lucy Pearl was the soundtrack for the summer.  Ahhhhh....there's nothing and I mean NOTHING better than R&B music! And no I am not talking about this corny Chris Brown crap, or this Beiber Fever, (p.s. If you are currently suffering from "Beiber Fever" we can't be friends). I'm talking about that good stuff that was created by those who grew up listening to their parents Motown Records. Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, R.Kelly, Total, En Vogue, Keith Sweat, Groove Theory, Toni Toni Tone, the list goes on and on. This is the music that made you feel a certain way. These are the songs that make you think of a certain someone you may have been crushing on. Do these kids even know what it means to have a crush on someone nowadays? You know the song you would just play over and over and over again. When was the last time you did that with a Chris Brownie song? Not never. You play his music and think of him beating on a female or just dancing around. NO EMOTION!

Words cannot express how much I miss and crave the kind of music that was made in the 90s. It makes me so sad to see the younger generation having to grow up without any soul. I am thankful to have grown up in an era where music evoked emotion. Music motivated us and spoke for us most of the time. We didn't need to post on a social media site, we could just play you a song instead.

So, as you can tell, I am extremely passionate about something other than fashion. And seeing as how this is MY blog, I have the freedom to talk about whatever the heck I want. So, thanks for reading this R&B rant. Now, click on the link and download the latest R&B mix from none other than the incomparable, Dennis Blaze! Thanks D!
