Music Video: Selah Sue - RaggamuffinTo put Selah Sue in a nutshell, in just two years, the Belgian musician and songwriter has fulfilled her dreams. To keep her grounded, she has insisted on keeping the songs she wrote during her teens for her debut album. It’s a way of reminding the world that she has not been unfairly spoiled by destiny and that before Prince, Cee-Lo Green , radio play and incredible press, there was just a teenage girl, with her guitar, who was chosen spontaneously by fans on the net. Her first single “ Raggamuffin ” is one of her oldest songs and was viewed more ...TheNext2Shine25 May 2012

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: rita ora feat tinie ..rita ora feat tinie tempah - r.i.p. [it's definitely interesting to see the progression of how far the definition of a 'popular music' goes these days. case in point, rita ora's current smash has elements of dubstep, hip hop swagger, a sweet sample from nneka's 2009 anthem " heartbeat " and the poppiest vocal hook i've heard in awhile (thanks to rapper drake no less). weirdly, the mash up works wonders and offers rita a possible #1 this weekend on the UK charts. edgy pop lab experiment = success!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/WongiesMusicWorldwongie's music world10 May 2012

Nneka- “God Knows Why” ft. Black ThoughtGreat track from Nneka featuring Black Thought from The Roots. Both these artists are known for having topical, hard-hitting lyrics and this track is definitely holding to true to that form as both of them talk about the nature of man and evil. The beat hits really hard with a solid bass line and snare heavy percussion, [...]TheNeedleDrop1 May 2012

Nneka"My Home" MP3 from the album Soul is Heavy 2012 iTunes BY REBECCA EDWARDS | Jonk Music Upon hearing the piano introduction on Nneka's recently released "My Home," you may find yourself unsure of exactly where the song is going. A few more seconds, however, brings in a completely new feel from the classically inspired intro, presenting the listener with a song that pulls from reggae, hip-hop, and Motown soul influences. With her debut album The Uncomfortable Truth , German-Nigerian born Nneka gained a reputation for producing music with a world conscious ring to it — a trait that still holds strong ...Jonk Music4 April 2012

Track Of The Day 21/3 - NnekaBorn in Nigeria. Coming of age in Germany. Nneka isn't exactly sure where she belongs. But then, neither do we. Influences can be switched in the time it takes to plug in a modem, with the world contracting on a second by second basis. Rooted in classic soul - think Aretha, the Holloway sisters - Nneka's wonderful voice wraps itself around material that is at once recognisable and unfamiliar. Her African roots show through, with the rhythms having a kick that the bulk of the retro-soul boom lacks. A recent remix courtesy of Joe Goddard put Nneka firmly on the ...Clash Music21 March 2012

Nneka - Soul is HeavyNneka 's new LP will make you want to dance, no doubt about it. Right from the kick off, 'Lucifer (No Doubt)' bounces right into your brain and makes you want to bob; and it doesn’t matter where you are. A heady mixture of soul and hip hop, Soul is Heavy is Nneka’s fourth studio release, and the first since 2010’s Concrete Jungle . That was her first work to be released in the US and the first to bring her international recognition, but those in the know have set high hopes on her: she’s drawn comparisons ...The 40512 March 2012
