The militant "The Future" and eerie "Hold Up" are both excellent, mainly because there're written by Pharoahe Monch - who by the sounds of it also gave Diddy a step-by-step on how to impersonate a real rapper. Even Mr Diddy himself boasts that he cares more about writing cheques than rhymes, so we shouldn't be surprised that the results are so mediocre.īut, given the fact that he's bought in the best talent money can buy, there are still a few stand out tracks. And it would be, if Diddy wasn't 'rapping' on any of the tracks. With an array of fabulous artists and hot producers(including Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Timbaland, Jamie Foxx, The Black Eyed Peas' Wil.i.am, OutKast's Big Boi, and Mary J Blige) 'Press Play' should be magnificent.

Just last week she performed at Angela Simmons launch party for her new E-Commerce site, Angela I Am. To say we were very impressed is an understatement! Her comfortableness on stage mixed with her incredible vocals and amazing band, made for a great night of music. In June got a chance to see Lauriana Mae live at SOB’s in NYC.

The experience gave her the confidence needed to enter the studio to record songs of her own, and to establish herself as a solo artist. Eventually, Lauriana began performing at local talent shows, auditioning for various gigs, and working with different groups. She joined the church choir, which gave her the confidence to audition for a performing arts high school where she was accepted at a young age, and majored in vocal music. Also included is the melancholic ballad “ Love”, a reflective conversation between Mae and the emotion itself, and the punchy, percussive track “ Like A Drum (Beat It)“.īorn and raised in New Jersey, Lauriana began singing at home inspired by her mom who spotted her talent at an early age. It kicks off with her anthem “ Money Mae” – the singer’s moniker, a shiny, horn-laden throwback banger that captures flapper-era bliss. The EP features three songs, which were written by Lauriana. On the EP she collaborated with producer Kwamè, who’s crafted hits for Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole and Mary J. In late 2011 she released her first offering, the “ Love Mae” EP. Her sound is a mixture of soulful jazz vocals with contemporary Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop. Diddy‘s 2009 singing competition show Starmaker, where she finished in the top 4. Signed to Atlantic Records and known by millions from P. Singer & Songwriter Lauriana Mae is the hottest thing to come to the music scene in a long time.
