Posted by ChokLit Factory on July 27th, 2010

Posted by choklitfactory on November 6th, 2009
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuQJICTEeO4] I watched this video and was quite taken aback. I expected to see Rihanna reading a rehearsed script orchestrated by her Publicity team. Not to say, this interview was not arranged in certain ways. I will definitely check out the remainder of the interview when it airs Friday night on ABC. Rihanna was actually [...]

Chew On This! Singer Arika Kane Being Banned From R&B Radio Because of her Race?
Over the past couple weeks I’ve been here this song called Here With Me by Arika Kane on some online R&B stations. I would write the song down to remind myself to feature her on the blog. Her voice sounds youthful and breathy but still seasoned with a sincere yearning in her tone. Arika sang [...]
