I was sitting watching some of the preview videos from beyonce’s random release, and came to the conclusion, that this was one of the most inventive branding statements done today. Slapping people in the face with no warning was a genius move.

So, It was causal friday, I was browsing the internet, and I came across this amazing artist and band called Snarky Puppy, feat. Lalah Hathaway -(song name) Something !!
Then I thought (WOW) why don’t Artist like these ever get radio play!!!
Is it because of looks? Music is to complex for the average listener, or is the music to urban or soulful to be enjoyed by the masses…..WHat ever the case may be! this video features an extremely talented artist ( who can do things with here voice, some singer dream was possible!) And a band that infuses classic jazz flavor with the new sound of today!…(Take a listen)
