I am not sure what I am looking for though and that makes finding something new hard. I just want something fun, mellow-ish, and generally entertaining. Something I could sing along with and puts me in a good mood. I have that kind of music but I have been listening to it too much lately. And the last set of music I got was great but it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t particularly new. It is just that my music collecting is lazy and I just take my time getting around to it.<\/p>\n<p>On my last collecting spree I got the album \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Shine\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Estelle. I was surprised how good the overall album was and the fact I can still stand to listen to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153American Boy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I must have heard that song ever 30 mins on the radio when it was popular. You would think that would make it rage inducing but no, I still have a fondness for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Estelle Shine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-759 aligncenter\" title=\"Estelle - Shine\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Estelle Shine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But that still doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it the best song on the album. That title goes to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come Over\u00e2\u20ac\u009d featuring Sean Paul. He really wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t necessary to make the song, he actual came close to ruining it. But the rhythm, the lyrics, and her voice make the song pleasantly seductive. The whole album is worth noting but songs like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No Substitute Love\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You Are\u00e2\u20ac\u009d need particular mention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_1\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

Apparently he has been around for some time but I had never heard of him before. I love his song \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gun Music\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It is lyrically deep and somewhat gangsta and the beat is just killer. And by the chorus you know he is having a good time with the music as well. And when I hit it I gotta sing it myself. <em>Po poi poi poi poi, Cla Clak clak clak clak, Gun man music never take shot back (oh!)<\/em>. Even though I looked up the lyrics and this is what they came up with, <em>Co Coi Coi Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak<\/em>. Coi? I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think so. It is off his 2002 album \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Quality\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I have listened to some of the other songs and they are good but none have grabbed me as this one has.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Talib Kweli Quality.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-759 aligncenter\" title=\"Talib Kweli - Quality\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Talib Kweli Quality.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_2\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

Yeah his released songs like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crabbukit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Heaven only knows\u00e2\u20ac\u009d have been ok, and song like \u00e2\u20ac\u01531, 2, 3, 4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sunday Morning\u00e2\u20ac\u009d have been good he just doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stay registered with me. But a couple of unreleased songs off his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d album have piqued my interest. One called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Freeze\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the other \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Neutroniks\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It makes me think I should start paying more attention to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/K-os Exit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-759 aligncenter\" title=\"K-os - Exit\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/K-os Exit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_3\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

There is Bjork, LL Cool J, House of Pain, Jack Johnson, Black Sheep, Pharcyde, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, Fatboy Slim, Kanye West, Outkast, ICP (that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Stab People\u00e2\u20ac\u009d song is messed up but I seem to find some sort of sadistic pleasure in listening to it. I know that song has been around for some time but I never paid attention to it before) and more. There are also songs by some unknown people that my brother gave me. But he isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t known for properly labelling his music files. But they are cool.<\/p>\n<p>This all stems from my brother giving me his Cowan S9 without clearing off the music. There are tons of songs and many of them I already have but as you can see quite a few I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. He has the same eclectic love for music that I have except he takes the time to go look for it. It is fun to listen to the Gregorian chant that come after the Busta Rhymes or the Sonata followed by some Drum and Bass. It keeps the listening interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Even with all this I am still looking for more. I love music and I can never get enough. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/icon-copy-profile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-40\" title=\"icon-copy-profile\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/icon-copy-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a>Tra<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though I have a very expansive music collection I need something new to listen to.
