Finding my Niche

I created this blog just for the sake of having a blog to be honest. It's my scratch-pad, a location to practice for an upcoming effort of relevance. Unfortunately, as I have let innumerable (in my mind) days pass since my last entry there's been little progression in the style of writing i would like to enter. Ranting (this) being my favorite style of course would seem like a great route, except for the fact that my plan for my future blog needs to be helpful. *sigh* I imagine, i'll try and get it together and be more collected and focused. I really want to get the new blog off the ground in March. The course is set and I'm excited about it but I'll fill you in on that endeavor later.

Tiger's Wood: Based on a true story! (loosely)




I won't drone on about Tiger's current situation because it's everywhere and you know the ordeal. However, I will indulge in it because who isn't? We've seen reenactments of the accidents, the mistresses, and finally it's time for the money shots...literally. From comedy to actual porn and sex tape hunts, the people all over Tiger's wood like a caddy (pause). Here's some highlights below.

Alicia Keys - The Element of Freedom [Review]



To be brief, It took Mary J. Blige until her fifth album. What I mean to say is, Alicia Keys’ forthcoming fourth album, The Element of Freedom, shows an established and satisfied Keys. As with No More Drama, where we saw a once edgy pained artist sedated by a ‘drama-free’ life, it appears the same has happened with Alicia Beatz. A shame what a good man (used loosely with SWIZZY), can do to soulful music.

TEOF is in fact a more diverse and better arranged album than any album to date for Alicia Keys. With that I say, “So?!” The alicia keys I remember dispensed soulful cries that spoke to the soul, this is elevator music.

To be fair, the album still shows off Alicia Keys’ as one of the stronger vocalist this side of the pond, and a resilience to avoid pop music’s noisy cookie-cutter beats. However, within a couple spins, you can tell that something is amiss. I’ll save you the fall out your seat moment, It’s the lack of keys.

Alicia Ke– , well Alicia, left me wanting a lot more this album. Again just as, No More Drama was a fine album, so is The Element of Freedom. It’s not MY Alicia Keys’ fix, but hey, at least there’s no holleration.

Editor's note: I acknowledge I didnt mention the song with Beyonce. You should Acknowledge that as well.
