KrisO: Diggin You

YPs I have a musical treat for your ears today courtesy of songwriter Real Eccentric, one of my followers/friends on the wonderful world of twitter via @RealTheWriter.  KrisO was featured on 106&Park’s WILD OUT WEDNESDAY competition today (FEBRUARY 16th) and if you missed his performance of his latest single “Diggin’ You” then take a listen here on YPBlogSpot.  I’ve included his artist bio courtesy of his REVERBNATION Page below.  Personally, I’m diggin’ KrisO’s song (no pun) and hope you ladies and gentlemen will too.  Support GOOD music Good People…!!!

KrisO

Singer and songwriter, Kristopher Oliver, better known as KrisO, was born May 12th 1989, in Memphis, TN. Although, he may be considered a ‘new-comer’, Oliver is already on his way to music super stardom with his smooth voice, amazing falsetto and boy-next-door charm. Singing since age 2, he proclaims that he was born to be an entertainer. KrisO enjoyed singing in his church choir and was inspired by such musical artists as Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Tank, Usher and Michael [click to continue…]

YPs when I first got Alicia Keys’ latest album The Element of Freedom this song was my favorite.  This is a song written by Drake and you can hear his vocals in the background a little bit during the song as well.  I also believe this is Ms. Keys’ latest single and the video, well features the beautiful Ms. Keys of course which is always a pleasant site.  Great song, Alicia Keys so what more can you ask for.  Anyway, enjoy YPs and do the un-thinkable when you’re ready. (LoL)

YPRuck: Good Monday morning YPs!  The east coast was hit with one of its biggest snow storms in a while this past weekend with various areas getting between 15 – 23 inches of snow which left a lot of people in the house this weekend.  I went out Friday to pick up a few things from the grocery store/Walmart and didn’t leave my apartment until this morning for work.  I watched football and movies all weekend and relaxed with my significant other.  But anyway, this is one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time and how fitting after a weekend full of snow!  I hope every one was safe this weekend and enjoyed the snow one way or another so enjoy this musical selection on behalf of Boyz II Men & Brian McKnight.  Have a great Monday YPs and Merry Christmas to all!

Alicia Keys Performing on Regis & Kelly

October 15, 2009

I have to admit I wasn’t really a big Alicia Keys fan until the past year or so. I’ve always recognized her talent but her albums as a whole never really blew me away until her most recent album “As I Am” came out. In any event, she’s definitely mastered the art of the first [...]
