Musik In Review:Solange Knowles Presents"True"





I stayed up all night listening to "True" the new EP released by the 26 year old mother,singer-songwriter, actress, model, dancer, and DJ Solange Piaget Knowles. I close my eyes I picture myself in the mid-late 1980's walking through a gritty Times Square with a slight chill in the air, with those old-school limos passing by. You know that whole mid-temp 80's vibe, that's how you feel when you listen to this record and you wanna be transported back in time, to that period and live the life of an 80's pop-artist well at least I do. My favorite track is titled "Bad Girls Verdine Version" the melody of her voice is just so soothing on that track, as you relate to the lyrics of a troubled relationship as she sings "tell me what's wrong, I can't tell you what's wrong",and you think damn how many times have I felt like this with the person I'm with.



Knowles describes the 7 track EP as "more than an album to me it's a transitional time in my life." Regarding the musical direction of the album, she said the inspiration came from New Wave music and stated, "This is a dance record, but the lyrics can get pretty dark at times." In September 2012, Solange released a teaser video for, "Losing You", the upcoming single from her third album. This release marks Solange's first release as a signee of the independent label Terrible Records.The video was shot in Cape Town, South Africa around early September 2012. On October 24, 2012, Knowles held a listening party in New York City for her True, set to be released for digital download on iTunes November 27, 2012. I suggest if you love artistically fused music from such a talented musician you take time and download it.

Urban Insider talks Model Behavior with Mr. Alex Dominguez of RED Models NYC

With it now being officially spring and actually feeling like it, I thought what better way to celebrate than bringing in a little model behavior. Models often showcase the best of what the average person aspires to look like, from the clothes, the height, and even their hair. We chatted with Mr. Alex Dominguez for the proper insight, and here are our results....... Tell us a little about yourself such as where you are from, age, and for those who aren't familiar what agency you are currently signed with..... I was born Alexander P Dominguez in Washington DC on December 4th, and have resided in Prince George's county Maryland for most of my life. I graduated from Frostburg State university with a degree in Criminal Justice. I come from a good traditional Filipino family, and I am presently represented by RED model management NY. What was it and when was it that make you first take an interest in becoming a male model..... I really had no intentions of

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month .   I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......
