3 interesting blogs
It took me a while to find blogs that seemed decent to me in relation to my interest...music. However, I found 3 sites that are more or less appropriate. The first blog is entitled Throwback Terrace which basically provides information about music that's popular now along with some old music as well. The music in this blog is pretty universal. The reason why I like this blog is because the creator provides so much media. Not only does she incorporate images, but she also provides an ample amount of videos as well. She allows the reader to gain insight about the artist, provides information about cd releases and like I mentioned before provides an incredible amount of visual media. This blog is pretty satisfying, so I would not change too much about it. The next blog is called TURBO CITY. This blog is basically a review of music ranging from hip hop to neo soul to jazz. This blog like the other contains a lot of visual media. However this one gives more information on cd song selection and provides websites for the various artists listed. There is a larger presence of biography in this one, which helps me to become more familiar with the artists. This one is appealing to me because there are actual artists on here who I have never heard of, so it allows me to broaden my musical knowledge. Lastly, music is art is the last blog that caught my interest. Visually this blog is exquisite. The template is amazing and called my attention right away. This blog is different than the other two because it is a fusion of music and art. A lot of the artists and musicians on this blog are unknown to me, so it will be refreshing to look at this blog.

The 411
So here it goes:
Neo Soul: aka Nu Soul is a genre of the 1990s and early 2000s that combines contemporary Rhythm and Blues with the soul of the 1970's, jazz as well as elements of hip hop. Ahhh...what a great great combination...eh? Neo Soul has brought about artists such as Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, India. Arie, Dwele, Corinne Bailey Rae, Anthony Hamilton, RES. Mmm...all of my FAVORITES! I do admit that I am a girl who loves to dance my heart out to music. I definitely love to have a good time on the dance floor. I also love to RAWK out when the time is appropriate. But when it comes to calming me down, bringing me inspiration, providing with an insight to a world that is either too familiar or not even close to being familiar...and also giving me the power and the opportunity to sing my HEART out...Neo Soul is my answer. Neo soul is my answer during the stormy times of my life. It is my answer during the most blessed, joyous times. It my my answer during my motivational, righteous...times. It never fails me.
Aren't they fabulous?
Wow...I got a bit carried away there. But as you can see...I am completely absorbed by this type of music. Never fear though...I am a LOVER of MUSIC! So, I will be talking about other forms of music as time progress, concerts that I've gone to, music reviews, etc.

Musiq is essential
Often times I reflect back over the years and I wonder..."When did I fall in love with music?". That question alone makes me kind of laugh, because if any of you have ever seen the movie "Brown Sugar", then you will remember the saying..."When did you fall in love with Hip Hop?". I do have a love for hip hop, but more importantly I am a universal lover of music. I'm not sure what it does to me. It brings about a feeling, a passion that I cant even put into words. When you truly LOVE something, it is hard to incorporate those feelings into word...thus I can say that I do LOVE music.
If you ever see me walking around campus, in my room, at the computer, etc...I am ALWAYS listening to music. Some might even say that I have a pair of headphones glued to my ears. It has become a continual stream of sounds, vibrations, lyrics, and beats for me. In many ways...I am not a critical lover of music...I definitely know what is my favorite TYPE of music. This type of music that I whole-heartily am head over heels in love with is neo soul. Ahhh..the passion I feel for thee. For all of those that are not knowledgeable about this form of music, let me break it down for you :).
