In the beginning there was the newjack era, spanning from the late 80's-1998. And towards the end of the newjack age (1996-1998) artists such as Tamia, Mya, TLC, Brandy, Monica and Terry Dexter were dominating the teen R&B queen scene. But after Terry Dexter's debut album, she seemed to have faded from existence. That was not the case at all, and, in fact, she has been quietly working under the radar.

Christina Aguilera has far surpassed her counterparts like Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, and Jessica Simpson, and her voice is far superior. Additionally, she's pretty damn sexy as well. Her new single "Ain't No Other Man" is a far cry from "Genie in a Bottle". "Ain't No Other Man" will have a significant impact on the slumping pop queen category and will by far cause the rest to go back to the drawing board.

Teaming up with high profile producers D.J. Premier and Charles Roane, these two and Christina have produced a track that's vast becoming the hottest thing around and the album hasn't even been released yet. Working with D.J. Premier was a choice of Christina's, this is because of his influence on the hip-hop world, producing hits for artists like Notorious B.I.G., Gang Starr, Nas, KRS-One, and the list goes on. Both Christina and D.J. Premier have a love for early jazz, soul and the blues, from the 20's 30's and 40's, and they've applied these forms to her new album, with no title at this moment. (The CD is due to be released late summer early fall).

Mixing hip-hop and jazz just as D.J. Premier with the previous artists mentioned above, their chemistry is fantastic and the two have provided the pop music genre with something to reckon with. Look for the album this fall.

("Sidewalks" Executive Producer Note: Christina Aguilera's video for "Ain't No Other Man" can be seen on "Sidewalks: Video Nite" episode VN#442 ("TGK"))

Yessurr !!

They call him Skateboard P. a.k.a Pharrell Williams (one half of the Neptunes) producer extraordinaire and his solo album "In My Mind" is slick as snot. Pharrell rhymes so vividly over his trademark beats, but those beats are not your typical Neptunes beats. Pharrell has really branched out here, sounding fresher than ever, distinguishing himself from the artists he produces, such as his partner in crime Chad Hugo, his N.E.R.D projects, and the rest of the everyday rapper you hear on the radio.

There's not a track on the "In My Mind" that will cause you to press the skip button. Thus making this album one of the most original rap/R&B albums since Run D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way" featuring Aerosmith. Skateboard P. comes out smelling like a rose on this one, not recycling any of his tracks or beats. Oh!!! Did I mention the all-star cast Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Pusha T? The list goes on. Whatcha still sittin' there for.... go get the album.
