Friday Slink: There He Go by Fabolous (buy)

Late on the holiday slink.  I’m sifting through the albums mentioned in AZ’s 100 Best Rap Songs of 2009 and finding more (cheesy) gems like this.  Produced by Blackout Movement (cf. “This is Why I’m Hot”).

Zee Avi - Monte (Live From The Basement)

aka She Of Beautiful Hair & Voice singing in a pretty, simple video.

My mom alerted me to her:  ”I don’t know where your tastes run, but I heard this gal interviewed on NPR and she is so cute and a nice singer.  She sings with a ukelele of all things.”

Someone elsewhere called her Norah Jones meets Bic Runga.

You can see and hear more of her on Tumblr here.

Friday Slink:  Something Bigger, Something Better by Amanda Blank

Better late than never, and NSFW.  But really, check out the entire album, I Love You (iTunes).  From “A Love Song” to “Shame on Me” to “Gimme What You Got”, it has a little something for everyone, and the production is bangin’.
