Tha ish: Yesteday- Toni Braxton feat. Trey Songz
I watched the Soul Train Awards a few weeks ago and completely lost my mind over Toni Braxton’s latest single, Yesterday. She performed it with Trey Songz (he seriously has the cutest smile known to man. Yes, my cougar claws are out!) and it has since become my fave song.
I’m not sure if it was their sexy performance that got me, but I love the song. I have downloaded it from itunes and have played it about a million times a day. I can’t get enough of this song!!
Check the live performance here and view the official video here
p.s. there was tons of hype over the kiss she shared with Trey because he's almost 20 years her junior. The kiss was nice, but it was soooo not as freaky as they make it seem.

Tha ish: Songs I’m feelin’
It’s funny how I actually find out about new music since I barely listen to the radio anymore. There’s just too many ignorant, unimaginative songs out there that I had to ban myself from listening to he radio. I know that statement makes me sound totally ANCIENT, but I don’t care! Heheheheh! Thankfully, my fave blog, yfb keeps me informed of all the latest entertainment news!
I started listening to an “urban” (aka black) online radio station at work. Since it was the slow time at my job, I desperately needed something to keep me awake. I kept hearing a smooth, flirty, R&B song that had me swaying in my chair. I had no idea who sang the song or what the name was; which only piqued my interest. I couldn’t take it anymore—I was compelled to google it.
I was totally relieved when I finally found out that Trey Songz is the artist and the title of the song is “I Need A Girl”. I knew who he was but wasn’t too familiar with his music. Coincidentally, he is on another single that I am loving right now—Successful- Drake feat. Trey Songz.
Cool, now I can download the single! Woo hoo! Check the video here
The other song that I am absolutely consumed with is Breakup from Mario featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett.
The first time that I heard the song I thought it was pure madness. The beat was choppy and it seemed a little out of place with the r&b vibe. It just came off as a jumbled mess. I also didn’t think that Gucci Mane’s rapping style blended well with Mario’s soulful voice at all. He mumbled all the words and it sounded way too messy for my liking.
But after hearing the song just one more time, I actually began to feel it. I liked the unconventional arrangement and the staccato nature of the song. I liked how the crazy beat sped up and down at varying times during the song.
The video is fire too! It is such a make out video (perhaps breakup to make up???). Mario’s chemistry with his featured love interest is off the charts. They both look so sexy together. This song makes me want to snuggle with someone when I watch this video!
