Girls Night in With Kimberly
What Ever Happened To Laurnea'?
Who remembers Laurnea? She had an album circa 1998 called Betta Listen. It featured songs like "Can't Let Go," "Sun Don't Rain," and the following song, "Infatuation." This is, by the way, one of my favorite songs. Where has this talented, soulful singer been?
How do you feel about this song? Have you ever been this infatuated by someone?
Monday Dose of Diva: WOMANifesto
How many of you watched Black Girls Rock last night? I was able to watch a segment of it and was very happy to see today's diva, Miss Jilly from Philly, perform the "Womanifesto" from her latest album, The Light of the Sun.
For years now, Jill Scott has been gracing us with her sultry voice, soulful songs, and recently, her powerful acting skills. I remember first hearing her on the Roots singles "You Got Me" and "Complexity" wondering who the woman with the captivating voice was. Now several hit singles ("A Long Walk," "Golden," and "Hate on Me" to name a few), albums, movies, a book and a baby later, we have the quintessential diva before us.
She makes me proud to be a woman, as she is not afraid nor ashamed to bear her sensual side. She speaks proudly and with such an unapologetic authority, one can't help but take notice. She embraces her womanly strength and femininity wholeheartedly, and that is why I admire her.
What is your favorite Jill Scott song?
Can you identify with her music?
"Take Off The Blues" Sunday
Alas, today was a laid-back day at home. My family and I did nothing special (other than my light afternoon thrifting) and all was calm in Miss Dre's neck of the woods. This may seem like a mundane situation to some of you, but for those who know me personally know we haven't had many peaceful days lately.
