Throwback Thursday Presents...

The Roots and Erykah Badu are artists that I've always admired. This collaboration was modern day magic. Jill Scott wrote the hook for this song and was orginally supposed to be the featured artist on the track. Since Jilly didn't have that star power Erykah had at the time, producers felt it was more marketable for Jill to take the back seat. Respectfully, both Jill and Erykah performed the song together on Dave Chappelle's concert movie "Block Party". I hope to hear more projects from this dynamic trio in the future.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Just Like a Star

Corinne Bailey Rae is my hair crush of the month. She went from short flirty curls to "come and get me" curls in what seems like no time. Her self-titled album was released in 2006, so her tresses have blossomed quite a bit since she stepped into the spotlight. CBR is definitely representing the natural hair community well. She kind of reminds me of an urban Carrie Bradshaw in this photo. Don't you agree? Sights like these grant me inspiration to move forward in my natural hair journey. Although it's only been 1 year, there are times I've been surprisingly bored with my hair and had thoughts of giving up. Truth be told, lacking patience won't do much for me at this point. My goal is to continue exploring what my hair loves and to master the maintenance of my natural texture. During the colder months, I'll get by with concentrating on moisturizing and protective styling. Then I'll be one step closer to achieving the bed head curls I desire.

Here's an oldie, but goodie. "You Outta Know" is an anthem for those of us that have ever had the pleasure of sleeping with a broken heart. Alanis Morissette ladies and gentleman is simply the truth. Her lyrics are amazing! This song is a head banger and I fell in love with her music even more when I heard "Ironic". If you've never heard this song, you're about to witness one of the most talented, slept on artists. Enjoy. Happy Thursday!
