Cluster F*ck

1. I'm still obsessed with Electrik Red. I don't know if it's because they're pretty, outgoing girls that can dance their butts off and hold a note... or having hit maker The-Dream write their entire debut album making it full of hits... but I can't get enough of these fab 4 chicas. Browsing Youtube I was able to catch their performance at Pace University's Homecoming and they did a great job. Check out Naomi's hot outfit. I need that top in my life!!! Not sure if I'd be doing too much, but yeah... it's worth a shot.





2. Nicki Minaj - Okay... so I barely listen to the radio, EVER... so I was really late on figuring out who this chick was. What I can say is that she has a great shape, love the strong bang and signature pinked out barbie look! I also adore her makeup game. She screams MAC girl to me and I love all things Mac Cosmetics. I've been watching a few of her interviews and I think she's a cool chick. Will I run out and buy her cd? Probably not... but I wouldn't bootleg it either. Maybe I'll luck up and a friend will have a legit copy that I can copy. lol...





3. After my facebook rant on black men and relationships the other day, it was suggested to me that I check out Mad Men on AMC. I was able to watch a few episodes of season 3 On Demand and got sucked in. I once had a married friend tell me that his life resembled the Chris Rock movie, "I think I love my wife". Well, if I was able to speak to that friend today I'd tell him to watch Mad Men because he may relate to that show too. Working long, hard days in business suits... coming home to have your daily martini, carrying on an affair... all of that can be found in Mad Men. I was surprised that this show, based in the 1960s, was able to capture me, but the writing and acting is on point. I think the bf is going to buy the 1st and 2nd seasons so I can catch up.

Electrik Red

The brain child of producer The-Dream (and Tricky Stewart), Electrik Red is the latest female group out on the scene. Compromised of former dancers and friends Naomi Allen, Sarah Rosete, Binkie Reevey and Leslie Lewis, these 4 have been involved in the entertainment industry for years... most recently as backup dancers for Mariah Carey, Usher and Ciara. Finally able to break out on their own, their debut album "How to be a Lady, Volume 1" features a funky mix of R&B, Electronica and sounds reminiscent of Vanity, or if you let them describe it, "a cornucopia of amazingness in your fucking ears."

Listening to their album you'd hardy be able to tell it was the product of an intense 2-week studio session in Vegas, but the ladies managed to put their game faces on and crank out what I consider to be flavor for your ears.

"Drink in my cup" or "We F*ck You" are sure to get you and your girls ready to ride out to the club or you can slow things down with "Blind" or "So Good"(which also features Lil Wayne on the remix). However, my personal favorite is "Freaky Freaky".

Since the majority (if not all) of the tracks were written by The-Dream (who is an exceptionally talented man himself) it was hard to not love the sound these ladies exude. Basically it's The-Dream's lyrics and production quality presented to us via these fabulous 4 ladies that can not only carry a note but keep our attention with their svelte physiques, vivacious personalities and dime piece looks.

These women are ready to change up the music game and inspire "other women to just for it" says Naomi, the group's lead singer and Toronto native.

I feel like they have the total package and am excited to see what they have in store for us. Their debut album "How to be a Lady, Volume 1" is in stores now. Please go buy it and support these chicks - - the album is hot and a must have for the summer!
