Marion Lombardi Reviews Choklate (en francais)

J’ai découvert Choklate il y a plusieurs années, avec ce premier album éponyme et j’ai tout de suite été séduite. L’album a tous les critères pour être qualifié de classique, même si Choklate est relativement nouvelle sur la scène soul indépendante. Ce qui m’a tout d’abord attirée est la très grande qualité des productions, qui créent une impression d’ensemble très soul, mais avec une touche moderne et des rythmes entraînants. Une grande place est donnée aux instruments (notamment guitare,...

If It Were I by DJ Come of Age

If it were I, I'd take you there on the warmest of days The sand of the beach upon which we would play In that moment, genuflect, as if in worship Existing only to witness your receipt of full pleasure If it were I, I'd tender your womanhood with no less than A thousand gentle lashes from the warmth of my tongue The intensity of which would consume you and your Moans would echo loudly, the words of a song only You and I would understand.. The gentle aura would be as if forever Your legs wo...

Our podcast first featured her music about five years ago and we held on to our claim that she was more than one to watch. Now, in 2010, we are more than pro...

DJ Eric: The Saga Continues

At times, we couldn't keep up with the influx of "fan" mail that found it's way to our inbox. You'd figure that he'd be used to it by now. LOL! A kind person and with an even gentler demeanor, D...

Beautiful by Stevy Mahy

Stevy is a beautiful human being and an amazing artist. Hailing from Guadeloupe in the French West Indies, having lived in Paris and traveling back and forth between the two places, she is a Creole woman and you can feel this bridging between the two cultures in her music. She sings in French, English, Creole, and her main subject is love. Love for her man or love in the broader and more spiritual sense of the word. Her music is very soothing and uplifting, her lyrics very inspiring and her ...
