    The Roots Release ‘undun’ App + NPR Stream

    December 2nd, 2011

     

    The Roots certainly didn’t disappoint with the “Make My” single off their December 6th slated undun. And now we can be further not disappointed with a complete stream of the album on NPR. The moody and often melancholy concept based album is layered and textured, playing out like an audio story, which could also easily double as a film soundtrack.

    Also, yesterday the group dropped a free iTunes app to go with their very first conceptual project. The app includes photos, lyrics, interviews, music video snippets and in all “an immersive experience that elucidates the life and times of one Redford Stephens,” the focal character on undun.

    Tracklisting
    1. Dun
    2. Sleep
    3. Make My feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Dice Raw
    4. One Time feat. Phonte & Dice Raw
    5. Kool On feat. Greg Porn & Truck North
    6. The OtherSide feat. Bilal Oliver & Greg Porn
    7. Stomp feat. Greg Porn
    8. Lighthouse feat. Dice Raw
    9. I Remember
    10. Tip The Scale feat. Dice Raw
    11. Redford (For Yia-Yia & Pappou)
    12. Possibility (2nd Movement)
    13. Will To Power (3rd Movement)

    December 2nd, 2011

     

    After an apparent break to find herself, Jazmine Sullivan may be returning to music as is evidenced by her most recent release. Produced by longtime collaborator Salaam Remi, “My Career” shows Jazmine taking a stand for her dreams over her man who may not be able to accept that her career comes first. Looks like our lady is finding herself plenty fine.
