Morning Ear Candy: Teairra Mari 'Make Her Feel Good'

Morning Ear Candy: Beyonce 'Me, Myself, And I'

"So controlling , you said that you love me

But you don't

Your family told me one day

I would see it on my own

Next thing i know i'm dealing

With your three kids in my home

Love is so blind

It feels right when it's wrong"

Morning Ear Candy: Groove Theory 'Tell Me'

"If you thought I'd sleep on this

Boy you're wrong 'cause all I dream about is our first kiss

And you're the first one to make me feel like this

And this is one opportunity that I can't miss no, no"

Solange's recent cover of this single encouraged me to post the original so that the youngings can hear what the original sounds like.

 I remember in high school going to the record store and spending almost 2 hours trying to find their album. I couldn't remember the group's name and I couldn't recall the lead singer that I now know by heart (Amel Larrieux) name. Thankfully, there was a very soulful brother that was hip to R&B, the only one in the store that was, that recognized the little bit of chorus lyrics that I remembered at the time.

Just an example of how powerful good music is, it will have you in the record store like a crackhead looking for a music fix.

Morning Ear Candy: Jesse Powell 'You'

This is a classic!

"Next year lets call this day our anniversary

The day I put my heart in your hand and said that it was yours to keep

From this moment on say that you'll always be mine

'Cause girl when I'm alone with you there's only one thing that's on my mind

And baby it's you... "

Morning Ear Candy: Method Man ft. Mary J. Blige 'You're All I Need'

"I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone

Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone

Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own

No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home"

Morning Ear Candy: Faith Evans & Carl Thomas 'Emotional'

This is my $h!t!

"You gave me reason to believe that

We were always meant to be

But now I see, you were wrong

You can't keep running back to me

With all those "Baby, baby please"-s

No more, no more"

Morning Ear Candy: Musiq Soulchild 'So Beautiful'

"When you're not here

You don’t know how much I miss you

The whole time on my mind

Is how much I'm gonna get to make

You feel so good like you know I could

Tell me if you

Feel the same way"

Morning Ear Candy: Mary J. Blige 'Mary Jane (All Night Long)'

"You know that I know that you love me

So if you just give me a chance

I can still show you romance

I know that you still savin' for

My flavor babe

So stop playin' hard to get

Let's make love like we first met"

Morning Ear Candy: Kelly Price 'As We Lay'

EE55ARY8Z7RK

"I would never want to hurt her, no, no, no

She would never understand

You belong to me for just one night

As we slept the night away"

Morning Ear Candy: Amerie 'Why Don't We Fall In Love'

"Why don't I just swallow each and every ounce of my pride

Everything you do I wanna feel again

Ain't no use for us to pretend"

Morning Ear Candy: Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You'

"Bittersweet Memories

That is all I'm taking with me

So good-bye

Please don't cry

We both know I'm not what you

You need"

Morning Ear Candy: Jay-Z 'Song Cry'

"We was together on the block since free lunch

We shoulda been together havin 4 Seasons brunch

We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather

So now we travel first class to change the forecast"

Morning Ear Candy: Priscilla Renea 'Dollhouse'

"I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy
This is my heart, it’s not a toy
So what’s with you playing with my mind
We used to be cool, this used to be love
Now it’s become, something like a job"

Morning Ear Candy: Ciara 'Promise'

"You can be my teacher I'll do homework

You can give me extra credit baby I'll do more work"

 

Morning Ear Candy: Melanie Fiona 'Monday Morning'

"this flower needs somewhere to go

no room to grow

all these dusty roads

i got two tickets and a dream

8:15 ill save you a seat"

If you haven't already, Melanie Fiona's The Bridge is a must have.

How appropriate is this song for today?!

Morning Ear Candy: Talib Kweli 'Get By'

"The TV got us reachin' for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin' for parts"

What a poet Talib Kweli is.

Morning Ear Candy: Keyshia Cole 'I Should Have Cheated''

Keyshia Cole has definitely come a long way in appearance as well as mind state.

When she first dropped "I Changed My Mind", she was a woman on a vengeance. Most of her songs spoke of heartbreak and falling out of love. Eventually her sound began to soften up with the addition of songs that catered to the lovers in her fan base.

Her last album A Different Me held true its title presenting a very different Keyshia image wise as well as lyrics.

With  her new album that is scheduled to be released later this year we can expect a very loving Keyshia minus the drama as Keyshia is an engaged mother-to-be. A lot can happen in a year.
