"Give It To Me Right" - Melanie Fiona (R&B)
Where do I start with Melanie? For one, her voice is gorgeous. She has an old R&B feel to her that she embraces, and I love it. She's been my giant crush for a couple weeks now-- there's something about a beautiful, confident woman who can sing and loves Sam Cooke that just makes me melt. Oh, and she's been co-signed by Kanye, who took her on the road as his opening act before she had a record out, and ?uestlove of the Roots, who featured her on their album with John Legend Wake Up, and released a Mixtape of sorts with her (download here: http://bit.ly/i7MvBs).
"Don't Leave Me" - Blink-182 (Rock)
Purely here because I've been playing Enema of the State a lot recently. I love the start to the album-- "I'll be fine, Its not the first, Just like last time, But a little worse." Its a nice little blast from the past for the weekend.
"Not Lost ft. TI" - B.o.B (Hip-Hop)
B.o.B did something Jay-Z fumbled with badly- using/sampling Chris Martin's voice for a hip-hop song. Joe Budden did it beautifully before on "Sidetracked" by sampling Coldplay's Lost. Bobby Ray does just as well by sampling the same song. Its off his latest mixtape No Genre, which is definitely worth a download if you enjoyed his album.
