Jazmine Sullivan, "Fear" from the album, Fearless - I heard about her because she was opening here for Maxwell when he was on tour in the area -- a concert that I missed because I had just had my baby. I think I must have looked her up on ITunes (which is what you should do) and heard the song "Fear." The lyrics are simple, but "...it's true, so don't pretend it ain't you too. We're all afraid of somethin' here, 'cause you ain't human without fear."


Adele, "Melt My Heart to Stone." I really like her song "Chasing Pavements", which has gotten more attention than "Melt My Heart to Stone", but I love the contradiction in the lyrics of this song and the raw emotion in what seems to be a song about unrequited love. "And I hear your words that I made up, you say my name like there could be an us..."
I'm also feeling Ledisi, Goapele and Common (who isn't unknown, just sadly under appreciated, in my opinion. I still love him, even though my eight months pregnant butt had to leave his concert in Berkeley before he came on because the people who were there to see N.E.R.D. (who I also like, don't get me wrong) were smoking so much weed that I was afraid that my baby would come out addled, brain damaged, or addicted.)
And if anyone knows the real lyrics, or the artist of the "Why y'all eat that hair ball" song -- I'd love to know, so I can laugh at it some more.
