Ne yo : Year of the Gentleman

Ne yo's one of the best RnB artists today. From his hit single, "So sick", Ne yo has been topping charts, from the Billboard top 100 to local music top 10s. What's so really great about Ne yo is that he's not only a great RnB singer, but he's a very good song writer too. He has worked with some of the famous RnB artists, like Rihanna, and those songs are a hit as well.

Ne yo's music is mix of music genres, from what he is known for RnB, pop, slow, and dance music, one can say that this singer is the best among the best. No doubt that he's one of my favorite!

After the hit "Because of you", which is still on everybody's head, he will be releasing a new album this September 2008, entitled "Year of the Gentleman". From this album, the single "Closer" was released last April 2008.

Jordin Sparks - One step at a time

Before David Cook's fame, it was all Jordin Sparks. Now, she has enjoined her new life being one of the successful new singers. Before, I never knew her, since I was not really fond of watching American Idol before, and the only thing that I knew about her is her songs, especially the never dying "Tattoo".

Now that I know her, I kind a like her music, with her voice and talent, she fits whatever type of music. Just after the hit single "No Air", which she sung with Chris Brown, also one of my favorite, another song from her album, which is entitled "One step at a time", is now topping the charts. After a series of love songs, she comes with an inspirational song, with a twist of a pop music.

One step at a time lyrics

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Chorus
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Chorus

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

Chorus x2
