Super Bowl XL VI is not until: 02/05/12 but Tyrese, Rihanna, and Mary J Blige have officially made it “Game Time”. Rhythm and Blues (R&B) is officially back and I am sure we all can agree of that!
Mary J Blige | My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1) (11/21/2011)
One studio album shy from having pumped out 10 studio albums; however, Mary is giving us straight hits until than! She has come a long way from “What’s the 411?”, and in the introductory of the album Diddy and her let’s listeners know this. “Bad Boys aint no good | Good boys’ aint no fun | Lord knows that I should run off with the right one...” (Mr. Wrong). Though the album is geared towards R&B I find the album to be adult/contemporary. MJB talks about love, relationship problems, trials & tribulations, and falling in love all over again. Best-Bet Picks: “Aint Nobody”, “Next Level”, and “Mr. Wrong”.

Rihanna | Talk That Talk (11/18/2011)
Ri-Ri’s mother definitely needs to wash her daughter’s mouth out with soap; on this album. I love her sailor mouth and the fact that she didn’t hold back and pushed her racy style to the limit! The electro-trance/pop beats brings me back to her third studio album that has a feel of “Please Don’t Stop The Music” (Good Girl Gone Bad | May 2007) one quickly forgets that was the same artist. However; with catchy phrases such as: “Cake, Cake, Cake, Imma make you my B!tch..” None the less this is by far one of my favorite albums this year. Best-Bet Picks: “Birthday Cake”, “You Da One”, “Cockiness (Love It)”, “Talk That Talk”, and “We Found Love”.
Tyrese | Open Invitation (11/01/2011)
“I’m talking stunting, pushing buttons, hear that engine stars | I got you falling deep in love girl | I’m the King of Hearts…” (It’s All On Me). With such smooth lyrics and outstanding beats Open Invitation is definitely easy on the ears. Tyrese’s croaky/raspy voice is a prize definitely to be won making his fifth studio album locked into my playlist. Best-Bet Picks: “Walk (A Poem To My Fans)”, “Too Easy”, and “Stay”.
