hit or miss?

VIDEO: TONI BRAXTON – ‘MAKE MY HEART’

Make My Heart is Toni Braxton’s new single and to be honest I’m a little disappointed. I mean it’s actually quite catchy and I can see it going down relatively well in the clubs, but Toni could have released a stronger comeback single and video. This woman used to be a superstar. What happened??? Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC: LEE RYAN – SECRET LOVE

Former Blue boy band member Lee Ryan has released the video to his latest solo effort Secret Love. Via Social Writers Blog I laughed when I first heard this track, but it has the potential to grow on me like fungus. It’s very catchy. The video – Lee features a very attractive black woman as his love interest in this video, while black British male artists will probably go as far as having one of their boy’s pose as a love interest []

UK MUSIC: CHOCKZ – HOLLA @ ME

Check out rapper Chockz’s video/track Holla @ Me (cover track of Drake’s Over) I like Chockz, he sounds good on the track and seems to be having a lot of fun in the video. Unlike most UK rappers I can actually smell the faint scent of charisma here. It will be interesting to see how his career develops. Your thoughts please…

UK MUSIC: SMILER – ENZA

Check South London rapper Smiler’s new single Enza. The Video – “Urban” music video directors in this country really need to step their games up!

Also why is  Smiler []

VIDEO: KIELY WILLIAMS – ‘SPECTACULAR’

Kiely Williams, former 3LW group member (remember them?) and former star of Disney kids show The Cheetah Girls, is now embarking on a solo music career. Check out her HILARIOUS new single Spectacular. Listen to the lyrics! Life after Disney folks! Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

VIDEO: NICKI MINAJ FT SEAN GARRETT – MASSIVE ATTACK

The label should be embarrassed, Nicki should be embarrassed and Sean Garrett should be embarrassed. Did they actually record this track and then leave the studio thinking “job well done”??? Massive Attack is a steaming hot pile of dog excrement! It sounds like a late 90s / early 2000s Missy Elliot produced track that she had the good sense to dump, and lock away in a vault. I don’t know what this woman is trying to do.  The whole “Barbie” gimmick ( []
