IVORY DOME GIVES YOU MIGUEL

"There is value in patience." Miguel Jontel is the embodiment of such saying. At just 23, this singer is creeping out of the song writer shadows and into the superstar limelight. From his stint as a contestant on the BET reality show, Fatty Koo(Who?), to becoming a sought after song writer for the likes of Usher, Mary J. Blige and Musique, Miguel, as he is simply called, is a welcomed addition to the tepid serving of R and B stars (Trey Something & Co.).
Miguel's mature sound and lyrics hint at a certain discretion that creates an intimate and unconventional world. Released in 09, Miguel's mix-tape, Mischief, highlights his song writing capabilities, creative energy (which is seriously missing in the factory that is the record industry) and his unimposing style. He has been under Jive and finally has the green light to shine. Miguel's first single, All I want is You ft. Jcole ( I could do without JCole) produced by Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse, Nas), is a refined take on love lost. I feel his album would make for a great treat.

IVORY DOME GIVES YOU KEZIAH JONES
















Keziah Jones aka Olufemi Sanyaolu is that cool cat that everyone wants to be friends with( well I do!). He sings, he plays the piano and the guitar, his beats keeps you moving and his lyrics are all sorts of soulful . He's been a favourite for a while especially during my acoustic guitar loving days. The Nigerian clearly draws from afrobeat past (See Fela) and delivers an infectious sound. Check out this great talent on Blufunk Is a Fact, African Space Craft, Liquid Sunshine, Black Orpheus and his latest, Nigerian Wood.
