Merry Christmas AND Mary J. Blige

Slim pickins for this week, but Blige's release is an exciting one. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!


Mary J. Blige- Growing Pains **Sam’s Pick**
This is Blige’s 8th studio album and a fantastic addition to her repertoire. She’s what I like to call on FIRE right now and this entire CD of new material is smooth as silk. The song “Work That” is on the new iTunes commercial. My fav so far is “Fade Away.”

Sweeny Todd- Movie Soundtrack
Who knew? Apparently Johnny Depp CAN sing. You can get all of the music from the movie in this deluxe complete edition, complete with lyrics, photos and an 80-page booklet. Worth checking out even if you aren’t a fan of the opera.

Tool- Vicarious (DVD)
Fans that have all ready purchased this are making a huge effort to point out this is NOT a live performance DVD, but rather the making of Vicarious. However, in Tool fashion.. there is a surprise. If you work out the code on the DVD, you can see some live footage from The Pearl show in Vegas. Worth the work for a true Tool fan.

Lupe Fiasco- The Cool
Again, I’m not the biggest fan of hip hop, but there are artists I respect very much and Lupe is one of them. His messages are different. More intelligent… deeper. He’s one of the reasons I dig the genre, though I am picky about the artists I support.


Also released:
Jaheim- The Makings of a Man

Thanks for reading.

Sam
