Because When You Hear Something Good...


...You should share it with others.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a free performance by singer K'Jon. His major label debut album, "I Get Around" will be in stores TUESDAY, AUGUST 4. I encourage you to buy it. Not burn it. (This man is from Detroit, and he really shows us some love, so we should do the same.)

I heard most of the album while we were waiting for the show to begin, and the songs he performed live with his band sounded great! (But then again, I think EVERYthing played live by a band sounds great...hence, my fling with go-go music). You might be like, "Who is K'Jon?" But I KNOW you've heard the single, "On the Ocean."Even if you didn't know that was the title of it...click on the link below if you think you haven't.


The album is R&B/soul/good stepping music....but no, all of it does not sound like sumthing you'd hear on MIX 92.3 or on 96.1 Jamz with Joe Bullard. He's in the Anthony Hamilton family, maybe in terms of his sound(much better beats, though)...but dont let that deter you if you're not a fan. It's an alternative to the bull that's on the radio, and it has meaningful lyrics to beats that you can groove to. You might be in a love song-type mood, or want sumthing to clean your house to or get ready for the club to or drive around town to or just generally be on some grown-ppl's music....That's what this is. When I tell you my daddy was BOPPIN to his music, I mean that man was feelin it! I'll post a couple pix of him and my mom, cuz they were on their feet dancing together as soon as K'Jon started to sing "On the Ocean." Then the audience made the man do an encore. He also did a great cover of One Republic's song It's Too Late to Apologize...or w/e it's called, cuz yall know the title cant be that long.
You know I'm not in the business of telling anyone to spend money for the fun of it, but I do think you should check out homeboy's album and give him a chance.
