The Dutchess Has Arrived...

Ok - I rarely promote music on this blog (tho - when JZ's album comes out, I will pimp that out because the tracks I'm hearing are *really* that good) but seriously - Y'all NEED to check out this album by Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson - The Dutchess.

I originally approached it with a bit of skepticism but, after listening to it a few times Monday & Tuesday, the tracks on here are phenomenal. Fergie really hit a home run with this solo effort. Fave tracks so far are "Finally", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Losing My Ground" and "Voodoo Doll". Stacy girl can SING - I'm glad she finally got the forum to showcase those vocals!! Plus - you got styles rangin' from R&B to Reggae (Bob Marley's wife, Rita, makes a cameo on Mary Jane Shoes) mixed in with some hip hop/ pop plus toss in a little punk/Ska sound and capping it off with some power ballads that just rip your heart out. She opens up on this CD about her spiral downfall with drugs during the drama with Wild Orchid and, wow. Like I said - very impressive. I'm hoping she's one of the performers at the Grammys next year.

You can check it out here! Quick note - if you get it through iTunes, you get 3 unreleased tracks as well.

When you see a gal bobbin' her head at the red light, yup - that would be me. This CD will be on repeat.
