Tuesday CD Release: Clay Aiken

Its been 5 years since Clay Aiken’s first album “Measure of A Man” debuted. Well the American Idol star is back and this time he teamed up with OneRepublic’s front man Ryan “Alias” Tedder. Aiken fell in love with a song written by Tedder called “On My Way Here.” The message of the lyrics “how the lessons we learn while growing up shape us into who we become as adults” struck such a deep chord with Aiken that it wound up inspiring the theme and title of his new collection.

“On My Way Here” is loaded with very inspirational songs such as “Ashes” & “Grace of God” that will fill you with hope and faith. Listen to the album and it is apparent that Aiken took his time in producing this seamless album. Be sure to pick up your copy in stores today!

Tuesday: CD Release “The Roots”

Last week I brought you The Roots new video. One thing you might not know about The Roots is that “Rising Down” marks their 10th album and they’ve NEVER gone platinum. One thing you might know about The Roots is that they’re real hip hop. Bring those two thoughts together. This is the roots 10th album & they’ve never gone platinum, because The Roots are real hip hop. Be sure to pick up their album in stores today and check out their Myspace page.

Mariah Carey’s E=MC² In Stores Today!

Love Muffins, I am so excited! The wait is finally over and the diva of all diva’s is back with E=MC², the follow up to her multi-platinum, Emancipation. Mimi brings the heat with her 11th studio album. Not unlike Emancipation, E=MC² finds Carey stacking the deck with the hottest producers and guest artists in urban music (Jermaine Dupri, StarGate, T-Pain, Damian Marley, Young Jeezy). The result is a extremely enjoyable mix of flirtatious club jams, mid-tempo love songs, and emotional ballads anchored by hip-hop beats that perfectly showcase the singer’s powerful vocal chops.

One track that I absolutely adore is “Last Kiss,” here she reunites with Dupri to recapture the passionate splendor of 2005’s ”We Belong Together.” The golden-throated diva has discovered a formula that works to which; I say that if it ain’t broke than don’t fix it! Mimi will definitely have you on the dance floor doing the paw-paw to her club bangers, ”O.O.C.” and “That Chick,” which, for all of their pop polish, never lose their soulful spirit. For an artist whose career was all but dead four years ago, Mariah proves she is a Phoenix who’s risen from the ashes. Love Muffins be sure to pick up your copy of E=MC² in stores today!

Tuesday CD Release

U.K. Sensation Leona Lewis drops her first American album today in the U.S. of A. LoveBScott.com is a positive site. I love for my viewers to be able to form their own opinions and I promote positive thoughts and kind words (or I try to at least) in everything that I do. So with that said… I have no review for this album because MamaBScott taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say - “then shut your mouth little boy!” So my lips are sealed… and I mean - don’t get me wrong… it’s not even that I hate it - it’s just that its not necessarily my cup of tea. That’s all… Spirit is In Stores Today!

Love Muffins - What are your thoughts on Ms. Leona Lewis’ American rise to fame?
