More Summer Music

Pharrell, Nelly Furtado and LeToya have made their mark on the summer of 2006.

Check out the recent articles on these talented Blues/Soul 101 artists:

LeToya: Life After Destiny's Child

The shadow of LaToya Luckett's former life as a Destiny's Child vocalist will likely forever hang over her musical career.

The 25-year-old Houston native aka "The H-Town Chick", has managed to produce a solid solo album that proves she's a capable R&B artist.

Pharrell: In My Mind

The long delayed album from producer/rapper/singer Pharrell is a 50/50 mix of hip-hop and R&B - not that there's anything wrong with that.It's almost jarring to see Pharrell Williams aka Skateboard P on the television performing on Late Night with Jay Leno but that's just how far (and how mainstream) the Virginia Beach-native has come. The new album In My Mind, has been delayed countless times. It's been so long that the first single "Can I Have It Like That" featuring Gwen Stefani is relatively ancient.http://bluessoulmusic.suite101.com/article.cfm/pharrell__in_my_mind

Nelly Furtado Plays It Loose

While many believe that Nelly Furtado's new album "Loose" - which is heavy on the R&B side - is a bold new direction for her, things aren't always as they seem.

Those in the know have long been aware that the talented singer/songwriter/instrumentalist's musical sensibilities have always been heavily urban-based.
