The energetic performance from A Tribe Called Quest was definitely the stand out of the night at Rock the Bells LA. During Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali’s incredible Midnight Marauders set, they were able to slow it down temporarily for the album’s smooth second singe, “Electric Relaxation.” The legendary group did decide to mix it [...]
Beautiful, simple, and honest. This song is amazing, an under appreciated classic.

Alongside Danger Mouse as Gnarls Barkley, Cee-Lo’s performance in “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul” quickly made the song one of my favorite soul cuts in recent years, especially after viewing the [...]
