Chrisette Michele – “Charades” (Video)
November 12, 2012
We posted this “Charades” song featuring 2 Chainz a short while ago & now Ms. Chrisette Michele gives us the brand new video directed by Atlanta based photographer Derek Blanks. No 2 Chainz needed for the clip & I personally prefer it that way for this song. Nothing against 2 Chainz though. After hearing two dope dope singles with “Charades” & “Rich Hipster”, I’m looking forward to Chrisette Michele’s upcoming “Audrey Hepburn” mixtape due December 8th.

R&B: Dawn Richard – ’86
October 1, 2012
Dope song! Dawn Richard (formerly of Diddy’s Dirty Money) is underrated as hell as an artist…and that’s a damn shame. Damn near a crime. Creative videos, excellent choreography, elaborate costumes, precision sharp dance routines, & most importantly music that touches your soul. Well, we the JayForce.com do-gooders – posters of good music and more – are here to “’86” that nonsense. Dawn’s jam “’86” (produced by Druski) is yet another beautiful example of what modern R&B/Soul/Pop is supposed to sound like. Not surprisingly the song has an early Prince feel to it in terms of its musical flavor & songwriting so it seems intentional for Dawn to name it “86” as a nod to those subtle references & dual meanings. This is the first single from Dawn’s forthcoming album, “GoldenHeart” (due out October 16, 2012). For now, you can stream to “’86” below and buy the single at iTunes.
Alternative/Soul: JMSN – “Alone” (Different Sleep Remix)
September 26, 2012

Nice rework of a deep dope song from a while back. In case you missed it, we also posted a dope “Kno” remix of this song back in November. You can watch a video for the original version of “Alone” from JMSN after the jump. Bonus: You can stream and download it here.

Phonte feat. Carlitta Durand – “Gonna Be A Beautiful Night” (Video)
September 24, 2012
“Gonna Be A Beautiful Night” video coming at noon EST today.#FEMusic
— Phonte (@phontigallo) September 24, 2012
North Carolina emcee, singer, & occasional comedian Phonte drops some brand new visuals as promised at 12noon today for “Gonna Be A Beautiful Night” featuring Carlitta Durand. The track produced by S1 & Caleb appears on his critically acclaimed “Charity Starts At Home” album that’s available now. The album was easily one of the best projects to have dropped late 2011. Its not too late, but I hope Phonte keeps the dope visuals by their go-to-director Kenneth Price coming from the project.

R&B/Soul: Warren Xclnce – “Examine Me” feat. Etta Bond (Nigel One Remix)
September 23, 2012

Check out the original version after the jump. Two very different runs at the joint give us a double-shot of good music for our listening pleasure. Nice!
