Mary J.Blige-My Favorite Things

December 03, 2013   blakcitrus   No comments

Mary J.Blige continues her theme of a white Xmas in her video for “My Favorite Things” where she dons a funky silver ornamental headpiece that looks like a shiny P-Funk couture helmut. The vitality of Mary’s brown skin is what stops the close-ups of the fake falling snow and Christmas tree decorations from looking completly like a Macy’s commercial.

December 02, 2013   blakcitrus   No comments

Cleveland by way of the Cameroon indie R&B singer Lorine Chia warns listeners to not eat from the tree of whiteness unless you are ready for the arrival of winter. Chia’s take on the biblical story of Genesis involves a contrast of candles representing African Diasporic religion and the aftermath of an unsuccessful one-night stand with a young white Jesus-looking figure. Her debut album Naked Truths is out now and her NVRcH is still available for download.

R.I.P. Oliver Cheatham

November 30, 2013   blakcitrus   No comments

Detroit-bred singer Oliver Cheatham, known for his R&B single “Get Down Saturday Night” has passed at the age of 65 according to Soultracks.com. Cheatham’s song is an immortal party classic from the ’80′s co-written by One Way’s Kevin McCord and was recently featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. He recorded two duets with Jocelyn Brown and a few other singles including “Bless The Ladies,” “S.O.S.” and “Celebrate Our Love” but “Get Down Saturday Night” is the song that put him in the feel good R&B canon. Daft Punk sampled “Get Down Saturday Night” for the song “Voyager” and Vito Lucente reworked the song into a house track as Room 5 calling it “Make Luv” and giving Cheatham his first number one slot on the UK singles chart in 2003.
