Performances: Kanye West and Solange



Several artists were keeping busy performing all over this past weekend. My favorite rapper Kanye West performed in Sydney, Australia. Next time he performs in the states around my way, I definitely plan on seeing him. I plan on digesting as much live music (as I can afford) in 2009. But I know ‘Ye won’t leave me disappointed. I think it’s safe to say I’ve played his new album, 808’s and Heartbreak, in its entirety more than like 20 times. Yes. I like it that much. Now, it didn’t do as well Graduation but it did sell over 425,000 albums in its first week. In a recession, or compared to most artists today, that’s impressive.



Another person whose album I’ve been playing out as well…Solange. She performed in NYC at Cosmopolitan Magazine’s StarLaunch concert. From the pictures alone it seemed like a great performance. Very personal. Those are the best. When the artist jumps in the crowd and boogies with the people. My kind of show.
