Y'all really didn’t think our Creative Director was gonna let all these great folk do guest spots on his site without giving his two cents, right? If so, you really don’t know him that well.
We swear this is the last one. *laughs*

Happy New Year, Neighbors! We hope your holiday season was full of love and good cheer!
As glad as we are to see 2016 go, we still can’t ignore the great music that was produced the last 365 days. We still have a couple of more Best of lists on deck and we are more than honored to bring back one of our favorite Neighbors, website developer Skye Horbrook to share some of her favorite albums and songs of the year.

There are only two days left and it seems like 2016 still has no chill. RIP George Michael, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Through it all, we can say that we had some good music these last 365.
We are more than ecstatic to have our dear friend and jazz vocalist Laurin Talese share some of her top picks of the year. She had a pretty exciting year herself with the release of her highly anticipated debut album Gorgeous Chaos, which features a dope cover of the late George Michael’s “Kissing A Fool” with fellow Philly diva Vivian Green among other sultry tracks. Even though the critically acclaimed album is popping up on various “Best of” lists (here and here) around the country, she still has time for us little people. Thanks, boo!

In about a week or so, we will be entering a brand new year! WOO HOO! Lawd knows 2016 was a trying year! At least we had some good music though!
To help recap the year in music, we invited our dear friend Morgan James to share her favorite albums and songs of the year. Outside of being one of our favorite concert buddies (Check our Instagram page for validation), she’s currently a consultant for startups and tech companies and moonlights as a journalist for Philly’s own JUMP Magazine. Morgan also co-hosts pop culture hot-takin’ podcast Two Wise Jawns - listen and subscribe on iTunes, Soundcloud, or Stitcher. How she finds the time to do all of that, we have no clue.

In celebration of making it through 2016, we have invited some of our favorite Neighbors to share the songs and albums that helped them get through this helluva year.
Next up, we have our dear friend Britney Norman, Senior Manager of Integrated Marketing Programs for Visit Philadelphia. She may be a BOSS in the daytime but this Philly-bred woman can be seen at all the dopest concerts and parties happening around town. Brit was also named one of Billy Penn’s Top Communications Professionals under the age of 40, a list that also included our Creative Director.
Check out what has been giving our girl eargasms!

Question: Can anyone tell us where the year went? As climatic, and at times, tragic as 2016 as been, it’s been a relatively great year in terms of music.
For the second year in a row, we are letting a few of our favorite Neighbors share their favorite albums and songs of the year. The Grammys never seem to get it right so…
Kicking off our series is the hilarious Joseph Marshall, host of popular local podcast Logical Nonsense. Joe is a self-described “black man with an unhealthy love of big asses, sex and R&B music.” All of which are reflected in his flawless musical taste. Continue on to find out what a black man with a healthy sexual appetite has been listening to all year.

We caught up with our dear friend Eric Roberson to talk about his Note for Note cancer benefit concert that’s happening this Sunday at Harrah’s Atlantic City. The show will feature some of the biggest names in R&B including Bilal, Ledisi, Tank, and of course Erro himself. If that lineup wasn’t enough to run to Ticketmaster, we don’t know what will. We talked about the show, his connection to cancer research, and his relationship to the performers and the R&B community overall. Check out our conversation below!
