Of all the music events I attended in 2011, none shined brighter than Sade’s tour. Thankfully, those that missed the magic or want to relive it can check this forthcoming project from renowed British director Sophia Muller that captures Sade’s full 22-song set.

Included with the concert will be a 20 minute documentary of behind the scenes footage. Sade: Bring Me Home – Live 2011 hits stores on May 22.

“Type of love to make a b-boy grow up…”

 

Murs and Tabi Bonney’s “Hip Hop & Love” is a mid-tempo groove in honor of their upcoming tour of the same name. The personification of Hip-Hop culture as a female is nothing new to the genre. However, most of us have had an ongoing love affair with the culture since we were first exposed to it, making these retreads almost always enjoyable. After the download, check out the video detailing the tour’s full lineup.

After 10 long years, Sade returned to the stage on Friday night (April 29) in Nice. This kicks off a five month international tour spanning the United States and Europe. Check this LINK to see when Sade will be hitting your area. You can also order her May 3 Ultimate Collection HERE.

Diddy took a moment out from his tour (“Coming Home Tour”) with Dirty Money to sit down for an interview with Karmaloop’s lifestyle marketing director Dennis Todisco. The Bad Boy founder reflected on the Dirty Money album, why he felt his fashion sense temporarily “fell off,” new artists emerging in the urban scene, and the importance of a major label deal in today’s market.

 

Although he’s currently on  national tour, Murs has taken the time to finish a new compilation for his fans. This sampler features tracks from his just released collaboration album with Terrace Martin (Melrose), his upcoming Varsity Blues 2, and several unreleased songs. After your download, visit Murs’ redesigned website for additional tour info. Murs’ tour is a countdown of sorts to The Paid Dues Festival, which kicks off April 2 in San Bernardino, CA.

Manny Pacquiao is in Washington D.C. today meeting with Congressional members as a part of his promotional tour for the May 7 Shane Mosley fight.

Pacquiao reunited with former boxer and political ally Harry Ried, Senate Majority Leader (D) for Congress. Pacquiao was a supporter of Reid’s re-election campaign last November in Las Vegas.

Reid feels Pacquiao is a kindred spirit, and believes the fighter’s split duties between politics and boxing actually strengthens him in each area.

“He and I come from opposite sides of the globe. But in our hearts, we come from the same place,” Reid told the Las Vegas Sun. “He knows it’s not enough just to fight for yourself … or to be a world champion many times over. You have to be a champion for others.”

At press time, Pacquaio and wife Jinkee are expected to have a private lunch this afternoon with President Obama and First Lady Michelle.

On February 21, Los Angeles-based duo J*Davey will release a free EP called Evil Christian Cop, and kick off a short tour with fellow LA artist Blu.

Evil Christian Cop will be the group’s second part of their free EP series, The Great Mistapes, through jdavey.bandcamp.com. The five song project will also be their first since December 2009′s Boudoir Synema. Two months ago, the duo turned heads with an electronic cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

J*Davey’s tour with Blu kicks off in time for the SXSW music conference next month. An East Coast portion of the tour will commence in April, and head overseas to Europe in May. At press time, all the tour dates will be announced shortly via J*Davey’s new website www.theillav8r.com.
