Although Sister Sledge had already peaked with their 1979 powerhouse We Are Family LP, they returned in the first half of 1980 with Love Somebody Today. Not quite as successful as its predecessor, but still showcasing the group's remarkable vocal strength, the album foundered primarily because it hit the brick wall laid down by the burgeoning disco backlash, but still managed to peak at number seven on the R&B charts in March.
Partnered for the second go-round with Chic's Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, who wrote and produced all the songs, Sister Sledge spun out a sophisticated, slick set of smooth, mid-tempo R&B that concentrated on the sisters' vocals, leaving the musical arrangements in the background. Both the title track, which proved the album's only major hit, and the melancholy "You Fooled Around" emerged as the set's high points. Elsewhere, "Reach Your Peak" is a surprising combination of disco and jazz, leaving both "I'm a Good Girl" and "How to Love" to weigh in on the ballad front. It would have been hard for Sister Sledge to surpass the monstrously good one-two punch of "We Are Family" and "He's the Greatest Dancer." And, not surprisingly, much of Love Somebody Today sounds flat in comparison. But still, the sounds of Sister Sledge at the peak of their star power are better than much of the pap that passed for pop at the time. ~ Amy Hanson

Born and raised in San Jose, California, SeDiva always thought about a career in show business. "I dreamed about being in the music business, but I didn't dream about being a "Soul Train" dancer," laughs the striking beauty who graces the TV screen when the legendary show hits the airwaves each week. Now that her debut album, "All Night, All Day", has been recorded and the HOT singles, "My Pu**y" and "I Get This Feelin" is already making some serious noise, the girl who now calls Las Vegas home, soon will be on the main stage instead of the dance floor of "Soul Train". At the age of 23, SeDiva has been through a lot of ups and downs in her life. Her album is raw and personal. She has written from the heart as all talented artists do. "From traveling through life's experiences and feeling lonely in the world, I was lead to put some of my personal poems and experiences together to share with others," she openly explains. "In life we really never know what our future holds but we live through life going through so many changes and through these changes sometimes people are left looking for an outlet. I was, so I used my writing and singing as a healing tool to help and encourage me through hard times." When times got tough, SeDiva would grab a pencil and her journal and put her thoughts on paper. "In meeting different individuals over the years and hearing the different issues they were facing in their lives made me realize we all go through similar emotional experiences but with different scenarios." Being in the game wasn't planned, however. Like most true-life stories, things just happen. SeDiva was thrown in the "Rap Ring" while waiting for a feature artist to arrive for a session to record a song she wrote. He never showed up at the studio, so SeDiva decided to do it on her own. Call it fate or call it destiny, the result was a new hip-hop princess steppin' onto the stage and into the game. ...

Sean Rasul is an independent artist from Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised on Chicago's West Side (Division and Central), his journey began "back in the day" when he would freestyle with friends on inner-city blocks. He has since written countless songs and poems and has performed spoken word pieces on stages in the United States and Japan. His musical and inspirational seeds have been planted as far as the United Kingdom and France. He has shared stages with Fat Joe, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and Geno Young. Sean draws inspiration from his ancestors, his experiences, the successes and failures of others, places he's been, and from studying life, using that inspiration to paint a picture. Like it or not, he puts the picture on display. His success is defined by the mere fact that he is actually doing what he loves. Rasul released his debut album, The Showcase (Country ...
