It's Throwback Thursday, and we're back with another great hit from back in the day!

Throwback Jam of the Week: "8 Days of Christmas"-Destiny's Child


It's Throwback Thursday, and we're back with another jam from back in the day!

Since Christmas is Sunday, this one is only right. This week's throwback jam is one of my favorite holiday songs from my favorite group, Destiny's Child! "8 Days of Christmas" was fun and perfect for the holidays, and the video was really cute. I literally played it all the time, and still do. Matter of fact, after my parents finally let me have a CD player of my own, DC's album, titled 8 Days of Christmas, was my first official CD as a kid, and I played that thing ALL year round.

Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a great and productive weekend. Here's some #MondayMotivation to start your week off strong!


I can only speak for myself regarding this quote, but following my passion of writing and entertainment has opened several opportunities where indeed there were only walls. When I first started, I had no experience and was just starting my degree, but I knew at a young age what I ultimately wanted to do. So I followed it by starting this site, which led to more and more doors opening. 

At the end of the day, when you go after your bliss, your true purpose in life wholeheartedly, the doors will undoubtedly open. You just have to keep going!

Throwback Jam of the Week: "Come On Over (All I Want Is You)"-Christina Aguilera


It's Throwback Thursday, and we've got another hit from back in the day! 


In the late 90s and early 2000s, the pop world was really booming. Christina Aguilera was undoubtedly a part of that, knocking us out with her powerful and completely unexpected voice! Rising in 1999 as a solo singer with her debut self-titled album, she gave us that blue eyed soul, and still does (waiting on a new album, girl!).

One of the hits from that album was definitely "Come On Over." I remember being a kid and just completely blown away by her vocals when I heard this track. It was really fun to dance to, and I couldn't help but TRY to hit her incredible runs.

#MondayMotivation

Good morning y'all...here's some #MondayMotivation to get your work week started off right!


A lot of us have A LOT going on, and, I don't know about you, but there are plenty of days where I want to do absolutely NOTHING. There are plenty of things that I have to do behind the scenes outside of just writing to push my career and life forward that I highkey can't stand. However, you do what you have to do to get to where you want to be.

That's why this quote from the late Muhammad Ali stood out to me. Even the greatest was annoyed by the work that he had to put in to be the greatest. However, he refused to stop, knowing that it was key to attaining the life and future he wanted for himself. That's where I'm at now. What about you?

Candace Cameron Bure is Leaving The View


Another co-host at The View is moving on


Candace Cameron Bure has made the announcement that she is leaving The View after over a year on the show. “It’s a little bittersweet for me because I’m announcing that I will be leaving The View,” she said at the beginning of the show. "It wasn’t an easy decision, but before I started The View, I already had my commitments to Fuller House and my work with the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.”

This makes another co-host down, since Raven-Symone announced her exit from the series recently to focus on a reboot of That's So Raven.

MOVIE TRAILER: 'Baywatch' Starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron

Throwback Jam of the Week: "1, 2 Step"- Ciara feat. Missy Elliott



It's Throwback Thursday, and we're going back in time again with another throwback jam of the week! 

This week's throwback is one of my favorites from Ciara! When she first hit the scene back in 2004 with her smash hit, "Goodies," everyone was so impressed with her dance skills and flair. And we all almost broke our backs trying to do her version of the Matrix (I was on it when I was younger....but now? HA!). Another hit was "1,2 Step" featuring Missy Elliott, with Ciara's signature 1, 2 Step, which was simple but so much fun!  

I had forgot just how much I used to love this song. My Zumba instructor used this song recently for one of our dances in class, and I was going IN!  And, 12 years later, Ciara's still killing it on stage, especially on the dance tip. She's more chill right now since she's pregnant with her baby with husband Russell Wilson, but I'm sure she's getting right back to it afterwards!

Watch "1, 2 Step" below!

The 2017 Grammy Nominations Are In!

The Grammys

The 59th annual Grammy Awards are soon approaching, and the nominees have officially been announced!


With Adele and Beyonce leading the pack (duh), and so many other great projects nominated, the competition is definitely going to be tight! My biggest hope this year is that Solange wins Best R&B Performance for "Cranes In The Sky" because it (and A Seat at the Table) was outstanding! I know that Bey will win something and Adele will too, but Solange definitely deserves a Grammy for her album.

See who was nominated for what awards below!

Music piqued his interest at a young age, listening to his grandmother, who was Spanish, sing a lot, and Spanish music became his first inspiration. “I think it’s in my blood,” Talisco said of music in general.  By 11, he had a guitar and by 13, he composed my first song. As he went on to create a career for himself, he found other instruments to get into as well. “I like tinkering with sounds,” the artist admitted, also getting into producing. In terms of his unique stage name, Talisco revealed that he took the name to “pay tribute to someone who mattered to me.”

I use songwriting to process my feelings, and I hope that my songs can help other people to do the same."

NEW MUSIC: "Ya Vibe"-Soul/Reggae Artist Ayotemi feat. Keith Jone$


Excited to bring some new music from soul/reggae artist Ayotemi — a track entitled, "Ya Vibe," feat. Keith Jone$!


According to a press release, the track "reflects on self-love and warns about the tendency to look to others for inner balance and peace." The mellow track is real cool to listen to, but also inspiration to know and love yourself, and, because of that self-love, have a certain set of standards that you live by.  At least that's what I immediately took from it. It's definitely an important track, especially for the ladies out there.

Listen to "Ya Vibe" below!

MUSIC REVIEW: "Long Live the Angels"-Emeli Sandé

Emeli Sande Long Live The Angels


It's been over four years since Emeli Sandé dropped her debut album, Our Version of Events, back in 2012, and I've been anxiously awaiting more music from her ever since. 


Sure, she dropped a few songs and was featured on collabs here and there, but not a full project, and I've been literally craving more! So when the singer-songwriter revealed that she would be dropping her sophomore album, Long Live The Angels, I was too happy. Emeli is an amazing creative, and her vocals are off the charts, so I was ready for whatever she had for us.

I decided to take some time with this album before I reviewed (as I will with all of my reviews in the future), to read the lyrics, do some research and digging on the subject, and truly listen to the music. Long Live The Angels is proof that, sadly, heartbreak and pain brings about some of your best work. With her debut, which was still great, Emeli focused on more inspiring themes about love, being a good person, hope for the world. A few break up songs, but it was mostly positive. However, this one is even more personal, heartbreaking, and vulnerable, after Emeli's divorce from her longtime love, Adam Gouraguine, in November 2014. Throughout the album, Emeli takes on her journey to recovery, as we hear her express her hurt and loneliness behind the break up, but, ultimately, her hope for a better future for herself.

Raven and Chelsea are back together again!


For all fans of "That's So Raven" like myself, Raven's best friend Chelsea played by Anneliese van der Pol will be joining Raven-Symoné for the recently announced spin-off show, which is set to start production on Disney in early 2017!

The premise of the show is that both friends are recently divorced with kids -- Raven with two kids, Nia and Booker, and Chelsea with son Levin. Levin is described as arrogant and manipulative while one of Raven's kids will be inheriting her gift for seeing into the future. Hopefully, Orlando Brown can clean himself up and get his life on track for a cameo!

Stay tuned to The Spotlight for more info about the show as it's revealed.

Throwback Jam of the Week: "In Love Wit Chu" Da Brat ft. Cherish

It's Throwback Thursday, and we've got another great jam from back in the day!


Today's throwback jam is a track that I love from Da Brat..."In Love Wit Chu" featuring R&B group Cherish on the hook! From Brat's last studio album back in 2003, Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz, this single was upbeat and catchy, and great to dance too, even in my early teens. Like I really was in love with anybody back then!

Da Brat was absolutely beautiful in this video, and Cherish popped in too. We also saw cameos from Roy Jones and Mariah Carey, as well as a lot of eye candy for us ladies! Definitely one of my favorites from the early 2000s, especially in the summertime!

#MondayMotivation

Good morning everyone! Yeah, it's Monday again, but shake off those blues with some #MondayMotivation


This quote is something that I personally have struggled with. In the past, I've worried so much about failing that I have skipped out on opportunities that could've helped me grow in where I want to go. That only ended up hurting me. Failure is going to come. It's truly inevitable. However, you can't be so concerned with falling that you don't even take a leap. You never know what will come if you only TRY.

Throwback Jam of the Week: "Cry For You"-Jodeci


It's Throwback Thursday, and we've got another great jam from back in the day!



Today's throwback jam comes from the legendary R&B group, Jodeci! Their song, "Cry For You," from their second album, Diary of a Mad Band, blew up to #1 on the Hot R&B Singles chart. These guys definitely weren't too proud to beg and profess love of the ladies in their music. Plus, their vocals and harmonies were off the charts!!!

This is my personal favorite from the group, and honestly makes me wish I was old enough in the 90s to really vibe and enjoy the music back then. This video, though...HA! Black guys in leather in the desert is not a great combo theoretically, but, can't even lie, Jodeci made it look good!

New music video this morning! Check out this visual from singer Kalin White for his track, "Savage!


On Nov. 4, Kalin, known for his previous stint in hip hop duo Kalin and Myles, released the video for the track, which is the second single from his debut solo project, Chapter 21. The song, and the video itself definitely presents a unique view on relationships. In an interview with Rap-Up, Kalin said of the video, "These days it seems normal for men to be the ones to blame in relationships. I wrote this song about a lil' shorty I was talking to and she ended up being a savage, who knew? In this video, you'll see the roles switched up on me." 

Indeed! The piece, directed by David Camerena, follows Kalin as he's walking through L.A.'s Chinatown, only to get sneak attacked and kidnapped! And the kidnapper...turns out to be his lady!

#MondayMotivation

Good morning everyone....shake off those Monday blues with some #MondayMotivation! 


This quote is a simple but good one from my fave, Beyoncé from a past performance at Made in America, and it stuck with me. Life isn't easy. At 26, I'm still young, but I still have lived a good bit. Long enough to know that you go through plenty of ups and downs, and curveballs are thrown at you from all sides, but you have to push through regardless! Whether it be your work, your side hustle, your fitness journey, whatever. Challenge yourself to work harder, even in the midst of struggles.

MUSIC VIDEO: "Never Needed Me"- Alt-Rock Band The Middle Ground

Nashville's own alternative rock band, The Middle Ground, has dropped their video for their latest track, "Never Needed Me!"



The song is the first single off of the group's upcoming album Start Again (to be released on December 2). The song itself is really high energy, and the super colorful video that accompanies it matches that energy as the group performs. However, lead singer Joe Neary mentioned that the song has a great meaning. In an interview with Substream Magazine, the singer said,
"At the surface, it’s an energetic, catchy tune, but for those who choose to dive deeper, there is a message we are proud of in the lyrics themselves. With the video we wanted to try and capture the energy we feel when playing the song live. It’s a song we’ve closed our shows with, so adding all the colors and making it more of a performance was what we felt would show how much this song means to us. This is the first piece of much more to come and we hope you enjoy it!”

The upbeat song focuses on unrequited love, where Mariam just wants her significant other to give the same care to her that she gives herself.

The track is also the debut single from Mariam's debut EP, Heart To Heart, which will be released this Friday!

Listen to "Be There For Me" below!


#MondayMotivation

Good morning everybody...HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Here's some #MondayMotivation to help get you through the week! 


As many of us heavily going after our goals know, there's a lot of sacrifice that comes along with that. A LOT.  And I used to feel like I had to explain certain moves that I made or didn't make in my life concerning my writing career. And yet, people wouldn't understand, which was frustrating to me.

When I read this quote for the first time a long while back, I realized that you can't truly expect people to understand the path that God has put you on. You just have to keep doing your own thing regardless. Some people will get it and support, and others won't, and you have to be okay with that. Just keep grinding.

So, on this Thursday, I dedicate Throwback Thursday to her with one of my favorite dance tracks by her, Déjà Vu! The 2006 track featuring Bey's husband Jay-Z, the lead single off of her second album B'Day), definitely wasn't the biggest hit of her career. However, to me, it was electrifying to watch every time she performed it. Case in point, the 2006 BET Awards (even 10 years later, that choreography still stands out my mind!). Every time I hear it, I want to dance!
