Cheryl Lynn (born Lynda Cheryl Smith; March 11, 1957) is an American singer. She is best known for her songs during the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, including the 1978 R&B/disco song "Got to Be Real".

Malibu is the second album from Oxnard, California-based rapper and singer Anderson Paak. The album was released on January 15, 2016 via Steel Wool, OBE, Art Club & EMPIRE, directly on the heels of the Link Up & Suede EP, Paak's collaborative EP with producer Knxwledge as duo NxWorries, released on December 4, 2015, through Stones Throw Records. This album is in the aftermath of Paak's rise to stardom as a main feature on Dr. Dre's Compton, where he was prominently featured on six songs, including "Animals", a song that was originally Paak's that Dre took to put on the album.
The album features the singles The Season / Carry Me, the Schoolboy Q-featuring disco-influenced track Am I Wrong, and Room in Here featuring vocals from Sonyae Elise and a verse from The Game.

Born in Bermuda, Mishka lived with his parents on a sailboat from the age of three onwards. Lyrically, his favorite similes are of the sea - he has a bulging notebook of "ocean songs." In conversation, he looks back without evident nostalgia or myth-making on an early life growing up at sea. While other children were glued to the television and video games, Mishka was offered endless hours in which to reflect, draw, read and write.

Fast-forward to the present, and you find a man in his mid-twenties whose songs sound like the work of a young Sam Cooke mixed with shades of Bob Marley and that indefinable something that heralds a great pop record. Attempting to analyze that "X factor" only adds to the mystery. As Mishka reminds us: "People always check out your influences, but you don't really know what your influences are. It might be a bird singing while you're walking down the street or a breeze going past you. That could be what makes you want to write a song."

It's been five years since we've received an album from Janelle Monáe. Her 2018 effort Dirty Computer follows The Electric Lady and like her past two albums voyage to a futuristic land that only Monáe can see. Last month, Janelle Monáe shared two songs, "Make Me Feel" and "Django Jane," which were her attempts at bringing women together during a time of reckoning where women are the forces behind Hollywood's Time's Up initiative and movements like the Black Lives Matter.
"PYNK" featuring Grimes premiered as the World Record on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show.

本专辑入选滚石史上最伟大500张专辑第377位。
在 1995 年发表第二张专辑《CrazySexyCool》的前一刻，Lisa Lopes 因纵火烧毁男友的房子而遭逮捕入狱，却一点也没有影响到《CrazySexyCool》的攻势。先是单曲“Creep”获得 Billboard 流行及 R&B 单曲榜冠军，而接连几首单曲“Red Light Special”（US Top.2）、“Waterfalls”（US Top.1）、“Diggin' On You”（US Top.5）的傲人成绩，说明了全球乐迷的爱戴，以及 TLC 改以日趋成熟的 R&B 美声路线的大获全胜。专辑不但打进美国专辑榜第3名，当选美国 Spin、英国 Q、Melody Maker 杂志 1995 年度最佳专辑，更是抱回多项奖项，如葛莱美最佳 R&B 专辑、最佳R&B vocal performance（Creep）、Billboard 音乐奖年度最佳艺人等3项大奖及 MTV 音乐奖年度最佳音乐录影带等4项大奖。
该专辑在美国只花了一年的时间达到了全美1200万的惊人销量，而全球更是达到了1700万张，是流行音乐史上唯一一张女子团体在RIAA认证Diamond的专辑。

Reissue of the 1996 compilation 'Midnight Lover' with a new title & a bonus track, 'Third World Girl'. The remaining original 13 tracks consist of live versions from 1983 of many of the late great soul vocalist's best, including 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine', 'Let's Get It On', 'What's Going On', 'Inner City Blues', 'Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing' and 'Sexual Healing'. Recorded in concert in Indianapolis, IN.

2003 reissue of 1974 soul rarity. Produced by Barry White, 'I Love You More and More' is Brock's masterpiece. Jay Z sampled the album track, 'There's Nothing In This World That Can Stop Me From Loving You', for his massive international hit, 'Girls Girls Girls'. Soul Brother Records.

Marvin Gaye 把 1971 年专辑《What’s Going On》的标题曲拿给摩城音乐创始人 Berry Gordy 时，据传后者曾表示，那是他听过的最糟糕的东西。音乐太松散，歌词则太政治化。但就连 Elvis Presley 都唱起了抗议歌曲（1969 年的《In the Ghetto》），Marvin Gaye 为什么不可以？<br /><br />
这张专辑的奥妙就在于那份轻盈。歌曲自在呼吸，演绎自然松弛，甚至有些漫不经心，例如标题曲中负责演奏萨克斯的 Eli Fontaine 录音时甚至以为自己不过是在热身。Sly & The Family Stone 在苦涩的放克里倾泻怒火的同时（1971 年的《There’s a Riot Goin’ On》），Gaye 则用华丽的弦乐和拉丁鼓点表达着他的不满，柔和而且显得老练。哪怕是触及毒品（《Flyin’ High [In the Friendly Sky]》）和贫困问题（《Inner City Blues [Make Me Wanna Holler]》）等严肃主题时，他也轻盈得如同御风而行。这张专辑让我们明白，政治音乐不一定要剑拔弩张，也可以温暖怡人。
