My Name Is Earl S04e25 Inside Probe, Part 1

Earl St. Clair a name you should know if you’re a fan of R&B. For that matter, actually, you should know his name if you flat out love great music. While he is classified mainly as an R&B artist, his music is soul through and through, peppered with roots and even perhaps a hint of bluegrass influences. St. Clair is making wholesome old school music sound new on his latest album My Name Is Earl. Spanning seven tracks, the production is a strong, upbeat compilation of effective, pure lyrics and throaty, powerful vocals.

Initially breaking into the music business as a hip-hop producer, Earl St. Clair set out on his own as a soul singer. Armed with a deep, bluesy voice, his songs channel the fervor of classic Southern soul and gospel singers like Al Green and Ray Charles, but with swagger and production techniques ensuring that St. Clair is up to date on contemporary rap, pop, and dance music. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but he spent much of his childhood in Alabama, where his father was from. He started experimenting with music production while a college student, and after he dropped out and returned home, he began producing for numerous Cleveland-based rappers. Eventually, he worked on major-label albums by Machine Gun Kelly and Rick Ross, either as a producer or songwriter. He also sang on tracks by EDM titans David Guetta and Avicii, and released a duet with Bibi Bourelly titled "Perfect." The song was released by Def Jam in 2016, and the label also issued St. Clair's solo singles "Man on Fire" and "Good Time" that year, with "Feeling Alive" following in early 2017.

My Name Is Buddy: Another Record by Ry Cooder is the thirteenth studio album by Ry Cooder. It is the second social-political concept album by Ry Cooder. Cooder has described it as the second in a trilogy that began with Chávez Ravine and concluded with I, Flathead. The album is packaged in a small booklet that includes a brief story and drawing to accompany each song. Both the songs and the stories relate tales from the viewpoint of the characters, Buddy Red Cat, Lefty Mouse, and Reverend Tom Toad. The liner notes ask listeners/readers to join them as they "Journey through time and space in days of labor, big bosses, farm failures, strikes, company cops, sundown towns, hobos, and trains… the America of yesteryear".

"The act of making this record has felt truly exotic for me by way of its minimalism," says Liela Moss of her debut solo album. Released via Bella Union in November, My Name Is Safe in Your Mouth more than lives up to Moss's promise of fresh, bold adventure. Sonically spare yet sumptuous in its emotions, elemental power and expansive melodies, the record is a richly felt, vividly-realised trip into the interior from the Duke Spirit singer. A serene-to-stormy series of deep dream-pop meditations on devotion and selfhood, creativity and parenthood, it treats unknown territory not as something to fear but as a seed-bed of possibility.

For any woman who has ever bought a self-help book and wondered why she bothered (P.S. Now that I know he's just not that into me, where do I go from there? Yeah, thanks for that advice). Jennifer Love Hewitt is a self-proclaimed "love-aholic" and hopeless romantic (her middle name is Love, after all!).
