The Fantastic 4

 

If you think good music is dead, this four artists will make you think again...

1. Selah Sue loves Nneka, Lauryn Hill and Miss Badu. She opened for Prince, did a track with Ceelo. And 'RaggaMuffin' her first full length album is hip-hop, reggea, and soul.
Not too bad for a young girl who grew up in a small town in Belgium

2. Paris, Amber, and Anita from LA based trio KING created a huge buzz on their world wide web last week with 'THE STORY' their first EP. The lead single 'The story' is already a T+S favorite

3. Andy Allo: With Cameroonian, German & Welsh roots this Sacramento resident Andy Allo is not your average songstress. She calls her music Alter.Hip.Soul a subtle melange of alternative, hip hop and soul.

4. 22 years old Irma is a beautiful and refreshing talent. Discovered on YouTube with acoustic covers of The Jackson 5, Macy Gray, Ben Harper (...)  she's just released 'Letter to the Lord,' a beautifully crafted debut album.

"And then, when everything goes sour, you can pick it up and symbolically dash it to the floor where it will shatter into a thousand shards, just like the ruined remains of your so-called relationship. Sorry, got carried away there..." - Creative Review

The Color Project

How creative can you be if you're restricted to ONE color ?

That's the challenge Atlanta-based Art Co-op House has for you. The rule: choose one color- either Red, Green,Yellow or Blue- as the theme of your work and send the piece to them.

With all the submission , the Art Co-op House will put together an exhibit exploring "the relationship of color in the artists work, as well as the relationship that the color has to other works from artists around the world". They will even publish a book!!!
