iProduct... Ministry of Sound x MOS003 Black x Headphones


So a few weeks ago, I got sent a pair of these MOS003 black in-ear headphones from Ministry of Sound to try out after I had initially checked them out at an earlier listening event. Outta the six or seven different varied headphones, this one stood out the most for me because the sound these seemingly tiny in-ears produce was just hands and shoulders beyond but sometimes first impressions can be deceiving right? Right of course in some cases but in the case of these MOS003 headphones, there's no deceit involved! They sound BEYOND and you will enjoy these headphones!

Brand new visuals for new single from Donaeo titled "Check My Swagga Out" and it GOES HARD but then again everything sounds extra GREAT on these MOS 003 headphones courtesy of the good folks at Ministry of Sound!

iVideo... Mechanical Bride - Colour of Fire


I love this record! 25-year old self taught musician and songwriter Lauren Doss is more popularly known as Mechanical Bride but more importantly is the artist behind this hauntingly beatiful song titled "Colour of Fire", the video of which you've been privy to experience above... The song is off of her forthcoming debut album titled Living With Ants and follow-up to her 2008 Part II: EPs. I love this record and I hope the album is equally as good!

If like me, you are liking the record then you should get your free download of "Colour of Life" right HERE!

iMusic... X.O Senavoe + Efya - Mama (Can You Hear Me?)


Here's some brand new music from fast-rising Nigerian emcee X.O Senavoe which features Ghanian Soul singstress Efya on glorious form on vocal duties titled 'Mama (Can You Hear Me?)' in tribute of his late mother and a dedication to all the mothers out there. Listen below to this really awesome record from Mr. Senavoe!


This song for me - more than the fact that it is quite an exceptional record in itself - solidifies the transition of emerging Nigerian emcee X.O Senavoe from a really dope freestyle rapper and clever wordsmith to an actual music maker! I love this record!

This right here was the sound of X.O Senavoe officially putting his foot through the door!

iNaija... Lami - Yago + Ori Mi Wu

"Female soul singer Lami has released two brand new singles from her forthcoming 2011 album titled Human. She does this right on the heels of wrapping up her debut album - Intuition with the private live concert - Lami Unplugged. The first of the singles, Yago is an up-tempo, feel-gooder produced by DJ Klem. The second single, Ori Mi Wu, makes for easy listening and has that relaxed feel to love songs that Lami is popular for. The track features Chocolate City's Ice Prince and was co-produced by Lami and Abuja-based producer Gru." - Press Release
Nigerian Soul/R&B singer Lami Phillips greets us with two brand new singles off of her forthcoming sophomore album titled 'Human'. First with the DJ Klem-produced 'Yago' and also with the Ice Prince-featured 'Ori Mi Wu'. Listen below to both records and let me know what you think in the C section!

"Ori Mi Wu":

"Yago":

For a big fan of her debut album 'Intuition', I've just never been a fan of Lami's more up-tempo records so no surprise in me not liking 'Yago' but 'Ori Mi Wu' is my jam! This is Lami in her element - lovely vocal rendition & sublime/witty song writing + she gets the chance to showcase her voice to the people who question her vocal dexterity (listen to her at the 2:10 minute mark if you don't think she's got the vocals and tell me she didn't hit those notes outta the park!). There should be a version without the rap verse but that's just me... After a few listens of Ice Prince's rap verse, it's not even at all bad & it fits in with the song on some level...
