Lee Hi

One thing I can say about 16 year old South Korean Lee Hi, a whole lot of soul. Lee Hi debut single “1.2.3.4” has that old R&B sound. Even when she is singing in her native tongue it is soulful, she sounds much older than what she is. Lee Hi was the 2011 runner up "Survival K-Pop Star". Lee Hi was a member of the girl group SuPearl. The only thing I don’t like is the auto tune on her song. Her voice is strong enough without it. Lee Hi is a talent to look out for in the years to come. Tune into Streetwise Radio and checkout Lee Hi’s song “1.2.3.4”. Also listen to Streetwise Radio on Pandora, Live365, iTunes, MyGen365 and Athena365.

Karina Pasian

Who is Karina Pasian? I never heard of her, until I heard her on Streetwise Radio. Again that is why Internet Radio is so important. The potential of talent out there for unknown and undiscovered artists is truly remarkable. This New York born Dominican singer and pianist is an astonishing talent. Ever since her debut album “First Love” in 2008 to her newest single “Fall in Love Again” in 2012 Karina has been singing her heart out. Her first language is Russian, but she can also sing in English, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Turkish, and French. Karina’s grooming to become the singer and pianist she is today, started when she was very young. She began playing the piano at the age of three. Her babysitter was her first teacher and she began playing classical piano in kindergarten. By the time she was eight she was working with a vocal coach. Yes, Karina Pasian is the whole package. She has the voice the talent and the beauty. Karina Pasian is the one of the new up and coming R&B singers of her generation. Some of my favorite songs that Karina Pasian sings are “Fall in Love Again”, “16 @ War”, “Slow Motion” and “Perfectly Different”. Streetwise Radio is playing Karina’s Pasian and other new and unknown artist. You can listen to Streetwise Radio on MyGen365, Live365, Athena365, iTunes and Pandora.

Bilal

My description of Bilal is artistic and sensual. Bilal is always getting compared to D'Angelo. To me Bilal’s vocals and skill level far surpasses D'Angelo. In the late 1990s and early 2000s I was introduced to Bilal. He was in the neo soul and alternative hip hop group Soulquarians. The members consist of some awesome talent, Talib Kweli, Common (kneeling), Mos Def, James Poyser, Erykah Badu, Questlove, D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Bilal and the late great J Dilla. Wow! This was an amazing group of talented musicians. When Bilal came out with his debut album “1st Born Second” in 2001 I think it was the right thing for his music career. I loved the songs “Soul Sista”, “Fast Lane”, "Sometimes", “Love It” and “Love Poem. The song “Soul Sista” was on the movie soundtrack “Love And Basketball”. This Philadelphia, Pennsylvania born talent has been doing his thing since the late 1990s. Bilal is still going strong. He has a new album that was leaked on YouTube it is called” Love for Sale”. I think this album is amazing my favorite songs off this album are “Hollywood”, “All For Love”, “Lord don't let it”, “Get Out of My Hair”, “You're All I Need (Feels Like Heaven)” and “White Turns To Gray”. Bilal is an underrated artist with talent that needs to be played more. You can listen to new and unexposed artists like Bilal on Streetwise Radio. You can all so listen to Streetwise Radio on Pandora, Athena365, MyGen365, Live365 and iTunes.

Douye`-Golden Days

It has not been a Jazz, Pop, Contemporary artist that has stood out since Sade, Anita Baker. Well, Douye` in my opinion is right up there. Michael Ealey the DJ of Streetwise radio said to check her out. I’m listening to her music while I’m writing this blog and I must say she has smooth and sultry sound. Douye` is Nigerian born, lives in Los Angeles and is a real talent. She first started singing in church at the age of seven. In her mid-teens she traveled to Europe to pursue her growing musical dreams. Douye` came back to the USA where she studied voice at the acclaimed Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. After graduating, Douye performed in clubs throughout Los Angeles. I can’t believe I have never heard of her before. This goes to show you that there are so many great artists out there that have not been played on mainstream radio. Douye` debut album “Journey” came out in 2008. Four years later she has a new album out called “Golden Days”.  The songs on the album “Golden Days” and “Life Is Good” have me thinking about days when I’m kicked back on a Sunday afternoon with my honey. Douye` is an artist that beautiful! With a lot of sweetness! I’m a fan! Streetwise Radio is playing “Golden Days”.  You can listen to Streetwise Radio on MyGen365, Athena365, Live365 and ITunes.
