Nowadays, the deep sounding voice is rare in music. That’s what makes Aloe Blacc a diamond in the rough. Now, he’s not Barry White but you get the picture. It’s hard to argue with the fact Aloe is special. He’s another John Legend.

Before John Legend fans launch an attack on me, allow me to explain myself. John Legend is a far better singer than Aloe Blacc and almost everybody else. However, what Aloe Blacc lacks in raw talent, he makes up for with soul. You can’t deny that Aloe Blacc is one of the most passionate crooners showbiz has ever seen.

Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Justin Timberlake and most other male vocalists are known for their high pitches. But who wants to live in a world where music all sounds the same? No knock on Biebs, Mends, and Timbs but the fans have spoken. They want something different from the status quo.

Aloe Blacc is different. He doesn’t subscribe to the status quo at all. You know how they say some writers such as Herman Melville were ahead of their time. I believe this singer is ahead of his time.

Here’s why…

He crosses genres. Who else sings pop, country, and hip-hop? You could say that Nelly crosses all three genres but I remind you that the Hot in Here artist is a rapper.

What is more, Aloe Blacc makes meaningful music. The singer sings about what’s important in the world. He doesn’t brag about how much money he makes and how many girlfriends he has or the good life. Did you know his nickname is Mr. Frugal? I call this Hollywood Conservatism.

I’ve been following Aloe Blacc since his I Need A Dollar days. Green Lights is one of my favorite Aloe Blacc songs. Moreover, I play I’m the Man (Explicit version) when I feel the need. Lately, I’ve been casually listening to his songs on Vevo.

Do you agree that Aloe Blacc is another John Legend?

Should Camila Cabello Launch Solo Career?

Right now, the best thing about Fifth Harmony is Camila Cabello. She is the talk of the town. Everyone wants to know if the songstress will start a solo career. I believe a Fifth Harmony breakup is inevitable. The real question is when will Camila gear up her launching pads.

For the record, I urge Fifth Harmony to stay the course because the female group could be bigger than both Destiny’s Child and the Spice Girls. However, I understand logistics and the music industry. Managing 1 ego in showbiz opposed to 5 is a lot simpler, don’t you agree? Plus, the record label would have an easier time splitting the money 4 ways.

Can you imagine Fifth Harmony without Camila Cabello though? What would they sound and look like without the lead singer? Who would takeover as the new face of the team? Clearly, this young entertainer has made a major name for herself in a short span of time.

I’m also on record saying if the celebrity can become another Beyonce then by all means let’s break them up. Let’s not stay together for the sake of an Al Green song. Jokes aside, Guru Jay is all about promoting the crème de la crème in entertainment. Senorita Cabello has proven she’s worth it.

Now we can blame Shawn Mendes or Machine Gun Kelly. We can point fingers at Taylor Swift and others. But what good would that do?

We can compare the 5’2” Latina with Zayn. If Zayn hadn’t left One Direction, then Pillowtalk would have never been a smashing hit. Aren’t you interested in what this Cubana can do on her own?

We’ve seen Selena (Mexico), Shakira (Colombia). Maybe, it’s time for Camila *Cuba.

After spending time reading the tea leaves, I’ve determined Camila Cabello is determined to leave Fifth Harmony and launch a solo career for the betterment of entertainment.

Why Shawn Mendes Is NOT the New Justin Bieber

Why Shawn Mendes Is NOT the New Justin Bieber

It seems Shawn Mendes is the new Justin Bieber. He is dominating YouTube and Twitter. I would argue that his name is more famous than Taylor Swift in Canada. But can there really be another Justin Bieber?

Shawn Mendes just turned 18 years old, and now he has the whole world listening to his music. Remember Justin Bieber got off to an early start too. Isn’t that something… they’re both Canadian?

Outside Germany, Canada brews the best beer. Outside America, Canada breeds the best singers. Give extra credit to Drake and the Weeknd.

Mendes isn’t old enough to drink alcohol in the United States. However, he’s able to entertain drunken crowds. Maybe, they should increase the drinking age to 24 because that’s when the brain’s fully developed. Or maybe they should lower the drinking age to 18 because that’s when men and women go to war.

Shawn Mendes puts the ‘S’ in Showbiz. Everyday he works hard on his craft to get better. Does he have to Show You? His sound is similar to Nick Jonas‘s Chains. Plus, the Stitches singer knows how to stitch up a track like Lil Wayne.

It’s scary in a good way. You see Shawn still has untapped potential. Picture the young celebrity joining up forces with 5 Seconds of Summer on a possible tour. What if he made an entire album with Fifth Harmony? Let’s hope Camila Cabello stays the course, although it appears she may go solo.

Music needs more Mendeses’ and less one hit wonders. Yes, I love catchy lyrics like you do, but let’s ask ourselves- what’s the catch? Let’s stop sacrificing great music for good.

Everybody has asked is Shawn Mendes the new Justin Bieber? My answer is NO. He is big enough to be his own man. You’ll see.
