When I first listened to Tori Kelly’s, Unbreakable Smile album on Spotify last month “Talk” was definitely the standout record that caught my attention. To be very specific, I fell in complete love with the bridge at 2:10 and 3:10…OMG…the instrumentation is so lush and beautiful! I must have played this song back to back to back about 20 times. We hope you do too! Shout out to Malay (@MalayHo) on the production.
Also, here’s a glimpse at her live rendition of Talk which is also just as good!

Here’s an interesting fact: For those of you who didn’t know, I was actually born and raised a vegan. That’s right…thanks to the decisive guidance of my parents back in the 80s, I was enlisted into the vegan lifestyle prior to knowing what it was even about.
Growing up in the 90s, being a vegan was certainly an anomaly. This was especially true for a young child. Imagine having to explain yourself at school to all of the other students at lunch time. Yes, it was very arduous for the most part. Personally, any moment centered around food was always a sensitive touchpoint for me. Some of my childhood food memories consist of my mother forcing us to drink carrot juice before earning the privilege of eating tofu pizza, traveling with my parents to local health-food stores on Staten Island, and taking family day trips to Integral Yoga Natural Foods in Manhattan. Before the rise of Almond milk, EdenSoy was a staple in our refrigerator at home. In hindsight, I guess that you can call it tough love. Thankfully, I was able to survive and stick it out. I’m also glad that I’m able to fully embrace the wonderful times that we are in now. I’m proud to see that our society is becoming more conscious of what we put into our bodies and the impact that our actions have on the environment around us.
One of my good friends shared this video with me back in August. I definitely think that Vice is a few steps ahead of the competition when it comes to the future of content and covering things that are meaningful to it’s audience. In this episode, Vice takes time to go vegan with NBA baller and UConn Alum Ben Gordon as he invites us to Plant Food + Wine located in Venice, CA. I hope that you enjoy a quick glimpse into his state of transformation. ~ Namaste

A week or so ago I was putting together a playlist for my homegirl’s 80s -vs- 90s party taking place this Saturday. I happened to come across Zhané(s) classic, “Sending My Love” and I definitely had to add it to my playlist. I knew that I heard a rendition of this song somewhere else before. I just couldn’t put a finger on it.
For the last week, I had this tune playing in my head. I was trying to figure out, “Where else have I heard this song before?” I knew that I heard it on soundcloud a few years ago. I also knew that it was re-worked by a young female vocalist. As I sat down at my computer a few minutes ago, I starting to recall a list of names from my memory. I started by looking at my spreadsheet of emerging female vocalists that I’ve compiled over the last 3 years. Nothing. As I started to tune into my intuition, I began to search for names within the parameters of what I felt was close to my target: Chanel, Shanel, Shantel. I finally went to YouTube and typed in the song title, “Sending My Love” and added a “Ch”. Wha-laa…there it was…Chantel, “Sending My Love.” It’s been 3 years since I saw the video and it’s still pretty dope and very well shot!
After some additional research (perusing through the comments), I see that her full name is Chantel McCrary. Considering that I haven’t heard any new music from her in a while, I wonder what she’s currently up to? She’s definitely talented and I would love to know what she’s working on. I guess we’ll find out soon!

Yes! I’m super excited to see that Izzy is finally starting to receive the recognition that she deserves. Today, her video for “Give Me Love” was premiered by The Fader. If you happen to be across the pond in London, head over to London Fields Brewhouse on Thursday, September 24, 2015 for her debut headline appearance. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it!

Here at A Lovers Ambition Lifestyle Group, we’re all about supporting emerging artists while providing them with a platform for their music to be discovered. VEVO DSCVR is a music incubator just for this. This time around, VEVO DSCVR brings to us EP Entertainment/Def Jam’s own 19 year-old songstress, Alessia Cara. “All you really need is a love for what you do, and the ambition to do it” says Alessia in the short description of her Facebook Fan Page. Alessia is once again another artist who embodies the philosophy of what it takes to have “A Lovers Ambition.”
Sit back, relax, and watch Alessia perform her debut single, “Here” off of her forthcoming EP, “Four Pink Walls” which is due out later this month on August 28th.
– Enjoy!

I initially came across Alessia Cara about a month ago when I heard her debut single, “Here” on Beats 1 Radio. As soon as I heard the record, I instantly tagged it to add to my personal playlist. Other than the Isaac Hayes “Ikes Rap II” sample which was also used by Portishead and stems from the Wallace Collection’s “Daydream”, there was something about this record that reminded me of something that I heard in the past. At the moment, I just couldn’t put a finger on it. Now I know. “Here” reminds me of a record that was released about 6 years ago by an artist named Portia Monique entitled “Get To Know You.” It has a similar soulful feel and vibe to it which I love!
When I found out that Alessia Cara was signed to Def Jam, I reached out to a friend of mine who told me that they were very excited to have her as an addition to their roster. I myself am eager to hear more. On August 28, Alessia will be releasing her debut EP, “Four Pink Walls.”
Stay tuned for more!
