What's On Izzy?...Rihanna Unapologetic Album





Rihanna's Unapologetic ulbum was released on November 17th. This album was everything I anticipated. It gave me eternal life. It is definetely one of her best albums to date. She has so many amazing tracks on this project, that yo can tell she wasn't playing any games in the studio.


 Of course I have my favorites. "Power It Up", is my would have to be my favorite on this album. Its a nice club banger that makes you feel yourself a lil. I can see the DJ playing "Fresh Off The Runway" and "Numb" in the club too. Of course she added a few love ballads, "Stay", "Love Without Tragedy", and "Love Song". 



She alway surprised me by revamping two old school songs. "Jump", which samples Ginuwine's "Pony" is bananas. She teams up with Chris Brown on "Nobody's Business", which samples Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel". This song has an old school 90s vibe that works. Other features include David Guetta, Future, Eminem, and Mikky Ekko. 

The vibe of the album as a whole was unapologetic in a way. She said I'm going to mix Pop, Hip-Hop, and Dance, and your going to like it. Well I love it. On another note check out her GQ issue.

Red Carpet Coverage....Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Preimere

If you know then you know that I am a Twilight fanatic, even before it became a "big deal". On Monday the premiere for the last part of this amazing saga Breaking Dawn Part 2 took place. The stars did not disappoint on the red carpet, even though their were a few fashion "what the hells" in attendance.


Of course all eyes were on the leading lady Kirsten Stewart. She wore a provocative, jaw-dropping sheer nude lacy gown by designer Zuhair Murad. She tied the whole look together with a gorgeous pink lip and some soft cascading curls. In my opinion she was hands down the best dressed lady of the night.


Not to far behind her in the best dress category would be famous dancer Julianne Hough. She adorned an equixisite black gown with a dark vampy edge by Kaufman Franco. Other females who arrived looking amazing include Ashley Greene, Christian Serratos, and Judi Shekoni. 




Kellan, Taylor, and Jackson were the best dress men of the evening. I personally did not care for Robert Patterson's ensemble. The green suit did nothing for him. 


Others that made the worst dress list are Elle Fanning, Willow Shields, and Jacqueline Emerson




With that being said I can't wait to see the movie.

Honorable Mention...Quianne Brown


I have to dedicate my 2nd honorable mention to my big sister Quianne Brown., being that it is her 25th birthday today. Happy Birthday Kayla!



Kayla has always been a major influential figure in my life. She influences me in many ways in fashion, music, beliefs, or just humorous randomness. She has taught me the most important lesson in my life, whether she knows it or not. She taught me that you should always be an individual and be true to herself. I have lived by this lesson for as long as I can remember. 

Many of our family members and friends think we act too much alike at times. I love this girl to pieces and wouldn't know what to do without her. 


Dear Kayla,

       You are the perfect example for myself and all of the other younger females in our family to idolize. You are smart, caring, loving, and most of all stylish. We are proud of you and all of your accomplishments. You have help me when I was at my lowest and celebrated with me when I was at my highest. I adore the bond we share and know that no force on this earth can break it. You are one of the few people who understand me and accepts all of my weird, quirky glory. I can't even recall ever being extremely angry at you. And even the little disagreements we had never lasted a whole day. You have truly earned my respect and love, and I wish you a very extraordinary 25th birthday. Enjoy the rest of it and know that you are extremely blessed.
                             Love forever and a day,
                                                          Kordea J
                                                            
                                                                                                                   

What's On Izzy?....Kendrick Lamar ft. Lady Gaga- Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe



When I came across this song on the internet I was immmediately hooked. According to my iTunes I have played this song over 300 times within in a 2 day period (Yeah, its that serious).Two of my favorite musical addictions, Kendrick and Lady Gaga teamed up and created this musical work of genius.My favorite line of the duet ..."I got my drink, I got my music, yelling bitch, don't kill my vibe."


I've been saying for the longest I think Gaga should do a cross over R&B album or at least a few songs in the R&B/Rap genre. A lot of people underestimate her talent and adaptability, not to mention her vocal skills are insane. Don't get me wrong she's no Mariah or Beyonce, but this chick can blow. Which is usually overlooked on her pop tracks. A good example is her track "Fashion Of His Love" on her Born This Way album. That song gave me vocals for days and reminded me of a throwback Whitney Houston pop track. check out both tracks below...
