A Bad Dream is already one of the best songs of 2007. I was soooooo happy they were going to release it!

Glad to see his label didn't give up on him. He came *this* close to jumping ship. "Out of Control" is awesome.

Pharrell also helped produce on this album now instead of Chad solely. And I'm glad he is FINALLY! signed to Star Trak. Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Nas have all recorded songs with him for this album.

He did?! Do tell! I don't like that song but NSC is just incredible. If this CD is even half that good I'll be pleased. He wasn't happy with the label for a while. It was the classic case of his CD being too obscure to sell any records so his label wanted him to work with more commercial producers and he didn't want to so they withheld his advance for production until he talked to Chad and Pharrell and they worked with him to preserve his sound while somewhat pleasing his label. |

Yup and Pharrell and Chad are doing all they can to get him out there to promote him. If you saw the My Block: 752 Virgina you would see that aside from Timbaland, Star Trak Records had the most exposure on their with Chad, Kenna, Clipse, Fam-Lay and Pharrell all having a numerous amount of face time. Also Pharrell is the one pushing him to MAKE SURE THEY SEE HIS FACE on this album because he feels the world is finally ready to see Kenna and not just the voice behind it. Hell he's apart of a multi-millionaire dollar deal with Sony with them using his song in their PSP commercial. You can't get any better than that. |

Nice article about Kenna and his connections with Chad and Pharrell, plus a link to the Freetime video, which I'd never seen before. Great video! It's almost like a derivative of smack my b***h up. You've never seen the video?! With just the legs and feet showing. |

Honestly...I'm not normally into trashing people but I saw him open up for Nelly Furtado twice (once this past monday in a smaller bar-like setting in jersey & once at the WaMu Theater at MSG) and he probably gave the worst vocal performances that I have seen in a very long time and I go see shows and concerts all the time. It wasn't just me at all. The majority of people left halfway during his set at both shows, more so at the WaMu MSG show. There were so many people in the lobby that it was almost impossible to move. I really can't understand how he is signed to interscope records? I mean maybe he just happened to be really flat, out of tune, screaming and cracking during those two shows but he was really dreadful. He struck me as someone trying to be like Chris Daughtry vocal wise but it was sooo out of tune I couldn't believe it!

 By Aaron Parsley with Jessica Herndon People Magazine Kenna The Album: Make Sure They See My Face, out July 24 The 411: Born in Ethiopia and raised in the U.S., Kenna, 29, is pals with production super duo The Neptunes and has toured with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado. "Songs really come out of a lot of experiences that I don't even know I've been affected by," he says of the writing process. "When it comes down to musical influences I'm always inspired by old U2 records, The Police and the Talking Heads." Bonus TMI Fact: "Every Ethiopian kid has a gabi. It's a blanket that is made from raw cotton... I always have my gabi with me." |

One of the Pharrell produced tracks leaked: Say Goodbye to Love. And its GREAT! This proves that when Pharrell wants to create some good sh!t solo he can. So much energy.

I don't care for "Say Goodbye To Love". Hopefully the video will make me like the song more.

I listened to it and forgot about it. But it was good in spots. Definitely something to rock during a road trip to just lose yourself.

The video is so incredible. Star Trak be getting them Hype Willy vids ("Wanna Love You Girl", "Da Beeper Record", "I Aint Heard of That", "Angel", and who can forget "Caught Out There"!). Its different from what he's done besides the one background thats reminiscent of "Stronger" with the multicolors. But even at that he still improved on it instead of downgrading. Got an actual storyline and everything.
