debórah bond (pronounced De-BOR-ah)

ok i had planned to blog about someone else tonight but i came across debórah's myspace page in the process and had to make a change in the line-up. debórah's yet another hot dc area artist doing soul to death. she's smooth ya'll! she can take you from a loungin' cut to a "get yo ass up and dance with me" track at the snap of a soulful finger. and...and...and, she's trying to get paid for what she does! so after you get the sneak peak from bmb, go and purchase a song or two from her myspace page. support good music people! anyway, as i step down from my soapbox, here is a video clip of ms. bond doing her thang live. its a little grimy but those who know me know that's how i like it.

amy winehouse

now i don't typically post musicians that are plastered all over vh1 and every other music outlet known to man, but amy winehouse is fit to be the exception. this british songstress has the sound of a disgruntled "raylette" (come on music lovers!). her voice has been compared to lauren hill's. i agree, but l boogie never got as grimy as ms. winehouse. there's something not quite right about her but i think that's what makes her dope...i mean she did refuse to go to rehab. anyway amy winehouse is definitely someone that needs to be in your collection so go and make that addiction...i mean addition.

as a make up for featuring such a highly publicized artist, i bring you before and after videos of ms. winehouse. take look. you'll see she's changed a little over the years.
