William Fitzsimmons – Passion Play

William Fitzsimmons – Passion Play

I had so many songs I wanted to put up.  First I wanted this then I realized that I always post melancholy music, so I considered posting a more upbeat hip-hop type song, but I haven’t heard any great new hip-hop songs lately.  Then I considered posting a song off my friend’s band’s new cd (Sing Me Insomnia), but then I realized that cd was in the top 100 on iTunes so they’re not really a band that needs press, plus they’re an almost powerpop band.  Then I considered posting a song that my friend and I recorded but that song was really pop-ish and I am not a huge fan of bloggers who post only their original material (despite the fact that my next post may be one of my originals).  So here is the great William Fitzsimmons singing his song Passion Play, incidentally, Mr. Fitzsimmons just released an amazing new cd entitled Gold In The Shadow, and I would strongly encourage all of you to go about purchasing it if you enjoy this song, or at least listen to his new cd.

If you love hip hop: Akua Naru – The World Is Listening!

You must love the flow and flava of Akua Naru and this song!
“The World is Listening is a homage to the power of the female voice in hip hop, and pays respect to those pioneering female artists who have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts.”

Akua Naru – The World Is Listening

The World is Listening is a homage to the power of the female voice in hip hop, and pays respect to those pioneering female artists who have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts.  With this song, Akua Naru encourages us to remember the ways in which these women have served as models of inspiration for many, and to address our need to support more female presence in hip hop.  The song was produced by Cologne, Germany’s internationally acclaimed production duo JR & PH7. The Remix version is produced by Jay Baez.  Check the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyVbOFLkOw8&feature=player_embedded
