Although I’ve seen Jessie sing this before and witnessed it live at iLuvLive last month (we have the footage!) – I still can’t get enough. Her voice is simply stunning. Aside from writing for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Chris Brown and Christina Aguilera (what?) – she’s currently over in the States recording her new music too which she says should be coming out a little later in the year. She also says she’s working with Dallas Austin < Big look.
If you haven’t seen our footage of Jesse at iLuvLive, make sure you check it out. We actually have more footage of her that I need to edit up and upload. Will try my best to get that sorted soon.
Peace, Love & Jesse

According to SummerSoul, Groove Theory (one of my all-time favourite groups), have reunited and are currently recording new music. Check it out…
According to music mastermind and executive producer Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond, the hitmaking duo Groove Theory is back together and currently working on their reunion album. “It’s going well,” said Rosemond, whose Czar Entertainment firm also manages the likes of L.A. rapper, The Game. “They haven’t worked together in so long, and like most groups that break up, they’ve come into their own, so it’s almost like sharing that spotlight again, but it’s coming along. I’m excited.”
Rosemond expects new Groove Theory joints to become public very soon. “In about two months, real light promo through the Internet and see how radio and people react to it,” says Rosemond. For him, although he’s literally and figuratively guiding “The Game,” there will always be a special place for Groove Theory. “It’s exciting to me because I started with them,” says Rosemond. “If I can make that work again that’ll be a complete circle for me because I don’t know how long I’m going to be in this music business. I just kind of think that 20 years in any business, you have to start thinking about your exit. If I can come full circle and do something real nice and good with them, I’d be very happy.” [Source]
If this is all accurate, it’s SUCH great news! 2010 definitely seems like a year for great soul music with new albums from Sade, Erykah Badu, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jill Scott, D’Angelo, Maxwell etc etc expected and now Groove Theory? Damn!
Peace, Love & Groove Theory

The track will appear on Marsha’s upcoming record on J Records as a bonus track. Not my fav track of hers, but still – she’s so dope and so could sing the phone book and I’d be happy. Ha. Need that new album.

According to reports, Jill Scott has left her label Hidden Beach while still under contract and is consequently being sued for doing so…
R&B star Jill Scott has been sued by her longtime record label, which has accused her of pulling out halfway through a six-album record contract.
Industry paper The Hollywood Reporter said Hidden Beach Records is seeking damages for the money it would have made from the rest of the deal. The legal action states that Hidden Beach’s founder, Steve McKeever, helped launch Ms Scott’s career, but was dumped in October after more than 10 years of collaboration.
“Hidden Beach is shocked by her decision, not only because Scott has apparently chosen to leave the Hidden Beach family, but also because Scott is contractually required to deliver three more albums to Hidden Beach…Hidden Beach feels that Jill Scott is an incredibly talented artist” the company’s lawyer, Lawrence Hinkle, said. “No one regrets that this lawsuit had to be filed more than Hidden Beach, but its hands were tied and it had no other option.” [Source]
Damn. That’s quite the surprise! Things couldn’t have been good and well over there for it to have ended like this. Will keep you informed of any new developments.
Regardless – I still need that new Jill Scott album. No delays!
Peace, Love & Jill Scott

Before I heard this song, I had never in my life heard of Anon Tobin. I’m sure folks who are fans of his are shocked, considering his been releasing music for over 10 years. But I’m a Hip Hop head, the ‘beats’ world is something I dabble in, not something I’m really submerged in (right, Zayns?).
Anyways, at 2:30am last night, I was randomly trolling through a few forums (the music geek in me), looking for some new music to inspire/entertain me and found a track called “Hey Mr-Tee”. I had a listen and it blew my f*cking mind. Check it out…
[soundcloud url="http://soundcloud.com/pinboardblog/01-hey-mr-tree-www-pinboardblog-com" params="show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=0034ff" width="100%" height="81" ]
Purchase the song here
I had to listen to this a few times, just to check what I was hearing was real haha. That opening 2-step garage-like beat, with that door opening sound effect sample? Oh shit. Then that bassline warps its way through the sub-woofer and you’re off. In and out through some next level audio-intergalactic-journey – all the while repeatedly saying “what the f*ck?” in sheer amazement.
M-A-S-S-I-V-E.
Apologies for the all Amon Tobin fans I may have offended with the opening line of this post (lol) - I am now fully aware of who is and am definitely a fan – expect more from this guy on PinBoard in the future. It’s all about discovery at the end of the day and finding this track is exactly why I love the internets so much. Brand, spanking new music is always just a click away.
Peace, Love & Amon Tobin
