Legendary soul music singer, Anita Baker, is currently fighting to have all rights to her master recordings turned over to her. By law music authors and composers are entitled to have their copyrights reverted to them after thirty-five (35) years.

As such, she is asking all her fans and supporters to stop buying her music, temporarily, until she is able to take control of the masters. This would ensure that monies generated from sales, streams, downloads etc. would go to her as oppose to the music company she is going up against.

If you missed Jazmine Sullivan‘s Tiny Desk Home Concert, you can check out the amazing acoustic performance of “Girl Like Me,” done with H.E.R. The song is featured on the new album Heaux Tales, released in January.

Comedian Mike Epps will be hosting a party and live concert dubbed ‘Funny Virtual Skate’ on Sunday, February 28th starting at 5PM PT. The event, which will see performances from D Smoke, Musiq Soulchild and of course Epps, will livestream via sessionslive dot com.

Although the aforementioned acts are the only ones announced, there will also be several music and celebrity guest appearances, as well as product giveaways. There is a general admission fee of $15 USD.

One of the reasons we like India Arie and are always supporting her work is because she is 100% authentic. Nowadays artists that have achieved her level of success tend to be very ingenuine and in some cases outright fake.

India Arie literally just released a new song with British singer and musician Jake Isaac. Based on her post on social media, which we’ve shared below, it is clear that she is all about the music, not the fame, stats or anything of that sort.

The new song is titled “Gold” and it is now available on all music platforms.
See India Arie‘s post below:

^{“SURPRISE!
New Song : GOLD Jake Isaac ft. India Arie
I met @iamjakeisaac via IG summer of 2020 ~ he asked if I’d do a song with him, so I went to listen to his music, and I was so impressed, it was a EASY yes. When it comes to music I do ONLY what I FEEL. Thats the only way (for me) to get a great performance. @iamjakeisaac had a song in mind for is, that I liked, but didn’t hear myself on.
So, I told him my rule … I have to LOVE it. Smart of him! lol ~ he sent a link with all the songs he had for his project ( I’m VERY selective lol) … and I heard GOLD and I KNEW!, it was the one.
Today, 7pm (EST) GOLD Jake Issac ft. India Arie is released and it so delicate and soulful and lovey. Link in my bio
Thank you Jake.”}

The team at Verzuz just switched it up on us! For the very first time, at least to my knowledge, they are announcing one act and not saying who that person is going up against.

Therefore, on Saturday, February 27th at 8:00 PM ET, neo-soul singer D’Angelo will hit the Verzuz stage. It is being promoted as a show starring “D’Angelo & Friends.” The event will broadcast live from the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
