Smokie's Listening to...

Beyonce - Video Phone


The actual song is dried up dookie, but the video is so nasty that it’s SICK. I don’t want to like it – really, I hate co-signing all of this oversexualization that is Beyonce/Sasha. But dammit if Mrs. Knowles Carter is not 205% entertaining! The gum smacking, ode to Rihanna, guns, costume changes, booty popping, goofy lyrics, Gaga – ALL of that is heaven for a Beyonce Stan.

Lady Gaga adds extra freshness to the video. I didn’t really like her until this song, but she’s jamming. I applaud her for being fearless next to Beyonce. Do you girl!

Rihanna - Russian Roulette


I struggled with "Russian Roulette" because it’s so dark and seems to advocate suicide, but screw it - I have to ride with Rihanna because this baby goes hard. This is one of those songs that you don’t really know what you’re singing about, but so what? It sounds fantastic. The production is right on point and her voice has never sounded better. I can’t worry about what and who might blow their brains out because of this jam. All I know is I’M feeling it and I’m cool.

Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart




Finally, a new Alicia Keys song that’s not a lullaby anthem. This one kinda sneaks up on you because it’s mid tempo. Before you know it, you’re grooving and thinking, “…this whispering really works!” I could have rocked the hell out of this song back in my bad relationship days. It’s such a sad/sweet song full of emotion and classic rhythm. The homewrecker just redeemed herself. I’m not even going to judge her for walking like that in those heels either.

Z-Ro – Thank You



What can I say? I’m Houston all day. Lol

  2. ^^ ok...

    I know right like walking like you worked out for the first time yesterday is hot - like soreness and stiff legdedness is what's hot inthe streets. I walked better than that when I sprained my ankle after a long night at the club. My little girl walks better dan nat in my heels now. is she so hot that her cew didn't say anything? Her man?

    I'm not forgiving so easily these days...so no pass for Alicia. She'll get one when she comes with a personality. She's personable as cough medicine.......I could go on 4 dayz....

  3. hey The Russian Roulette song is apparently about how love is like a game of russian roulette - i guess its a reference to her relationship with Chris Brown, cos he seemed like a nice guy, love of her life and then bam, he's biting her ear off.....we all take a chance with every new relationship we embark on...i liked the song, then i liked it even more after i found that out cos it makes sense...
