The Ladies have been calling for more Heartbreak music and I also needed something along the lines of this. Maybe it’s a music “Dear John” letter to my exes or it could be a purging which is also overdue for me. I experienced a lot of emotions doing this mix. I redid it twice because I wanted it right. If you have someone to say goodbye to or if you have already bid someone adieu, this is the mix for you. Full of Neo-Soul goodness from some of the finest female singers in the genre, I hope you enjoy it!

(THE CD VERSION OF THIS MIX CAN BE PURCHASED HERE)

This is my Neo Soul.

I almost wrote the back story to this mixtape but I decided to just keep it clean. No need to stir up drama.

This mix is full of tracks that I heard live. Whether the artist was on the come-up or like in the case of D’Angelo, recorded the best album she/he recorded in my book. I saw him at the Beacon…in the all white (Holla if you hear me) when Mos Def was his opening act…I caught Kindred at Le Bar Bat, Jilly and Badu in Philly…Jaguar and Anthony in Jersey and Algebra in ATL. I stumbled into a bar years ago and heard Goapele..staggered into another and heard Floetry. I paid good monies to see Maxwell and Raphael and never regretted a dime!! When I had the pleasure of seeing these artists perform these songs, it sent an aural pleasure down into my bones. I know this one will be on repeat in my IPod…I hope it will be for you too!

Review:

I was one of those people who heard about Amanda Diva but never paid too much attention to her. A pretty face, while listening to her new mixtape, I quickly discovered that she had enormous talent on the mic. The lyrics are thought provoking and cerebral. The freestyles are sick! The beats are a awesome mix of Neo-soul, cutting snares, and head knocking old school. Amanda Diva put a lot of work into this and it shows! Notable cuts include: The whole cd. You won’t be able to turn it off! I know she’s a woman…but to the guys it’s no chicky fodder.

Top 5 Banging Beats worth listening to:

-Heart Of The City [Windows Over Harlem remix](The title speaks for itself and the beats match!)
-Rocksteady (Made me feel I was at the Rucker’s Game)
-Chucks & Kangols (Club banger..Diva Track)
-You Say (The beat is minimal which drives the lyric subject matter harder)
-Crazy World (Reminds you of an old school beat is surprisingly fresh)
