What if Lucy Pearl Had Not Broken Up??? – DJ Rahdu
December 31, 2009
When your favorite group breaks up, it conjures up feelings of anger, concern and ultimately disappointment. Comfortably confined in thoughts of what might have been, the dejected forget the great talent that is exposed or that emerges from the disassembling of a group. Just think about the outstanding songwriting ventures of Lionel Richie or the clever and game changing production of Erick Sermon’s “Music.” Sometimes though, the crew reassembles and either it’s business as usual or its never quite the same again. There are however, exceptions to this rule; sometimes groups compiled of ex-members are created to everyone’s shock and delight. Lucy Pearl, the brainchild of singer/songwriter/producer Raphael Saadiq and frequent collaborator D’angelo is one such exception. D’angelo ,as many don’t know, was supposed to be a member of the group but was unable to commit due to scheduling issues. Now there’s a “what if?” for you. Read More HERE

Bilal And The Witness Protection Program – Baby Since I’ve Been Loving You/ Everything In It’s Right Place / Sometimes (Live)
December 28, 2009
Bilal is one artist I’m looking foward to new material from in 2010. His energetic and eclectic performance and delivery never disappointments, and he drops heat on every song, even on covers. Bilal covered Led Zeppelin’s ‘Baby Since I’ve Been Loving You’ and Radiohead’s ‘Everything In It’s Right Place’ and easing into his classic single ‘Sometimes’ for Okayplayer’s Happy Chakakhan Celebration. The live instrumentation provided by the strange titled band ‘The Witness Protection Program’ featuring Cap’n Kirk on Guitar, Tuba Gooding Jr on Sousaphone, Owen Biddle on Bass, James Poyser on Organ, Robert Glasper on Keys, and ?uestlove on Drums. This is too ill not to pass up! Bilal’s Untitled upcoming project will be released on Plug Research in 2010. Peace to Moovmnt for the hookup!
