Good Music??? (12/18/13) R&B EP Update

     I have gotten really behind on my Good Music segments because they require so much writing and I haven't had the time to sit down and write, even though I love to do it.  Now I am on Christmas break and thought it best to catch up on some things on CS. 
     The title of this post is "Good Music???".  It  is not like the previous Good Music??? post, where I  said the music was not that good, but  because I am not writing an official Good Music review  for this music.  To be honest I have not listened to any of this music for the same reason I have not been able to write any Good Music post.  Its more or less just telling the readers that this music exist  (similar to when I post album art & track listing).  I am not your typical "music reviewer" in that I do not review music as soon as I listen to it.  I feel that I need time to digest the music.  Their is no set amount of time.  It usually takes me a long time to even listen to music.  As I have stated before, I can download some music one day, but not listen to it for months.  I feel that my process is the way it should be done in order to call it a true review and am not willing to waiver in that.  
     With that being said, I will now take time to put the spotlight on some of R&B's up-and-coming star's latest projects.

Just Music: Ciara- Overdose

Ciara's Vevo posted this I while back, but I guess I have been falling behind on updates.  Anyway, this song has a nice beat. 


Vocal Wednesday (11/20/13)

     Cory's Song is introducing a new segment!  I am naming it Vocal Wednesday.  I decided to start this segment because during the course of writing this blog about music (as you can imagine), I have been reading plenty of articles and looking at tons of interviews, performances, and other videos. One of my favorite new things that I have discovered in my research are these vocal range videos all over the place, showcasing the various singers of popular music's singing abilities.   I  now realize that I have  grown into a vocals nerd.  Now, I will share it with you here.
