News on Barack, Chasity & Estelle

To my FG2BH readers, I hope you all enjoyed the long Thanksgiving weekend. Can you believe it's already December?! For those in the NYC area, have you check out the window displays on 5th Avenue yet? Beautiful, huh?! Anyhow onto the post...

President-Elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle share the dual covers of Essence magazine. The Obama are featured separately on the January 2009 edition. Anyone else going to D.C. this January?

Chasity Nwagbara, Nigerian composer and vocalist recorded a track with Busta Rhymes called "World Go Round." Remember her vocals and songwriting contributions on Jennifer Lopez's last album, "Brave"??! Well Chasity simply goes by her first time now. (Thanks for the tip, Uloma!)

That's not Chasity in the photo with Busta but actress Gabrielle Union. It's a screen shot taken from Busta's "I Love My Chick" music video.

Estelle (in Sonia Rykiel) performed at Indigo 2 with a new longer hairstyle but do you love her outfit and 'do?

I'll leave you all with this hot South African song called "Tiki Tiki" by Phinda Mtya.

INTRODUCING CHASITY NWAGBARA

Recorded at The Old Poolhouse in Old Brookville, New York City, Naija singer and composer Chasity Nwagbara worked with pop music's biggest star Jennifer Lopez on the track, "Stay Together."

"Stay Together" is featured on Jennifer Lopez's current album, "Brave". Chasity also co-wrote "Mile in These Shoes". Incidentally "Mile In These Shoes" was use for promo clips of "Desperate Housewives".

So I found all this out after reading the inside jacket of Brave while waiting on line in Target last night. To my surprise there's no website (re: myspace) featuring this upcoming talent that is Chasity Nwagbara. Working for J.Lo is a BIG DEAL and hopefully it'll open doors for Chasity's songwriting career. Chasity already has a publishing development with BMI called "Miss Chas Publishing".

What are your thoughts on Chasity's vocals and songwriting skills?
