The Queen is back!

I have always loved Queen Latifah. I think she is an incredibly talented individual-- singer, songwriter, performer, actress... and her latest album, Persona (which dropped yesterday), is great. She is returning to her roots with Hip Hop & Pop, and departing from her last two previous albums of jazz & soul. Here's a live performance @ Mandela Day at Radio City Music Hall. Skip ahead to the 40second mark to hear her perform.


Here is one of my favorite singles from her Dana Owens album, "Simply Beautiful," alongside with Al Green. BEAUTIFUL voice!
