This is Francis from Brand Newjiq. I suppose he's going solo now, which is great because I love his voice - it's soothing and got soul. I always enjoyed his R&B/Soul music. This is a collaboration with his friends back in 2010. Sounds amazing to me!

John Michael - 'Sophisticated Lady' (2012)

John Michael - "Sophisticated Lady". Love the song and his voice!

Listen below:



Lyrics:

I see you there
A small scent of sin up in your eyes
And your hair relaxed to your shoulders
Let me float up to you darling
Are u wanting what it feels like you’re beggin me for
Lady don’t
Don’t you rush at all
I enjoy
The thrill of chasing you around


(Hook)
You’re so sophisticated lady you’re amazing
Got me stuck where I stand
I must say that you’re bad
Tell me what would it take
Just to get more than your name
So sophisticated lady


Can’t help but stare
The way that u walk talk and act
That’s so rare to find someone like you
Not even in my dreams
Let alone reality
Just knowing that I found you in this crowded city does something to me
Baby don’t
No don’t you rush at all
I enjoy
The thrill of chasing you around


(Hook x2)

Just keep on sipping on that wine
I know you’re having a good time
I can tell just from your smile that you’re feeling what I’m giving
Its the city in you got me feeling brand new
All the crowds of people I just wanna chill here with you
So if I tell you that I need you will it make you wanna stay
If I show you that I mean it will you love me here today
No I ain’t trying to rush
Don’t wanna get caught up
But all I’m thinking of
Is you


(Hook)

New Music: Gabe Bondoc - 'First Choice' (2012)

One of the best songs I have heard in a long time! Real music - amazing vocals with guitar. No digital gimmicks!

Listen below:



Lyrics:

I'd always hope that my love would be
Shared with somebody who cared for me
Well you always been the one I know for sure
I'm not the only one who the list that you're on

Wish I could tell you the things I know
Like you're the one we can take things slow
Well I tried so many times but I'm shy and not sure a opportunity knocks
But I never home..

Oh, I'm falling so fast don't know how long I'm gon' last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart has been yours for so long
Well it knows right where it belongs with you
Belongs to you

Never been good at this dating game (Oh no)
Things get so strange I'm always to blame
Well I'm awkward but I'm real and I hope that she see
There's charm in being with someone just like me

I'm full of facts that you might not know (She might not know)
That's a plus, plus I'm always home
Always answer your calls when you're bored and alone
I'm ahead of myself Need to slow my roll

Oh, I'm falling so fast don't know how long I'm gon' last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart has been yours for so long
Well it knows right where it belongs with you
Belongs to you

Oh I try to tell you what I need to
Only you can read my mind
My eyes their lying when they see you
They only wanna be with you baby

Oh, I'm falling so fast don't know how long I'm gon' last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart has been yours for so long
Well it knows right where it belongs with you
Belongs to you.

New Music: Khalil Fong - 'BB88' (2012)

Khalil Fong is back!! His latest work, "BB88" is a upbeat R&B/Soul track. The song has a very fun and playful feel to it as can be seen in the music video. "BB88" is a play on word of the Chinese word "8". Thus, the song title means - baby, bye bye. The song is about being mistreated by his girlfriend, and he's leaving if she continues to be that way as he sings soulfully, "You want me to be jealous, you're making me so mad/ If you don't behave baby, then let's say bye bye".

Support him and get it on iTunes!

Lyrics: 

Composed/Lyrics/Arranged by: Khalil Fong  方大同
Produced by: Edward Chan / Charles Lee / Khalil Fong

我走一步 你就翻臉
我給你的愛 你說不夠甜
最會裝酷 多麼愛演
媽媽曾經說過不要被騙

#* 說LOVE OH LOVE 這是什麼
OH GIRL你嘴邊的話算什麼
LOVE OH LOVE 你怎麼了
不不不不不 愛不是贏或輸

* BABY別太壞 BABY別破壞
別總是偷偷摸摸 讓我想哭
要我吃醋 你讓我發怒
不乖乖baby就要說88

我走一步 被你搶先
我對你好 但你不給我面
每時每刻都在家裡做臉
也許有那一天有誰來找你代言

Repeat # *

是什麼不妥
是誰闖了禍
請你饒了我
突然間又靠著我
再一拳過來
冷戰一個多禮拜
最後還是要我來猜測
你的感受 是我的博鬥 MY DARLIN'
能何時換​​來一個吻
CAN YOU TELL ME NOW
TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME NOW...

Repeat * x2

Listen below:


Lyrics:

[Intro: JD talking]
What's up baby?
I know some days..I go without making you feel appreciated
And uh..I just wanna let you know that..Everyday you are

[Verse 1: Brandon Hines]
I got a song I wanna sing to my number one fan
Plan to put a ring on it as soon as I can
What I mean is that I dont want you to have to worry about nothing babe (nothing babe)
(Im tryna set it out for my lady)
I know you know I love you but I wanna say it again
Let you know Im down with you girl til the end
But sometimes I feel you think I don't appreciate it
So every song that says "I love you" I wanna dedicate it to my

[Hook]
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything (Yes You Are)
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything (Yes You Are)
See I call you my best friend
Whats the definition?
Someone I can talk to
Someone that'll listen
Someone I can share all with
Have a ball with
Hate to separate from
Ain't another like this one

[Verse 2: Brandon Hines]
Im well aware that we're a pair that's supposed to be...
This is deeper than love says our astrology
See I'm an Aries and you're a Sagittarius
It reads right here..that you the one that's gonna take it there with us
Love me, have my baby ride with me..til the end
Hug me when I need one and tell me that Im your best friend
So much in common talk to me about everything
(Keep the party jumping, girl I ain't got no complaints!)

[Hook]
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything
Yes you are (yes you are)
See I call you my best friend
What is the definition?
Someone I can talk to
Someone that'll listen
Someone I can share it all with
Have a ball with ..Hate to separate from
Ain't another like this one

[Bridge]
If there's somebody out there that you love
You don't think they really know you are about that true love
Call them on the phone turn to em send them a text
Do whatever you got to do
To let them know that its true
(I said)If somebodys out here that you love
You don't think they really know that you about that true love
Call them on the phone turn to em and send them a text
Do whatever you got to do
To let them know that is true

[Hook]
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything
Girlfriend wifey my boo you are everything
Yes you are yes you are
See I call you my best friend
What is the definition
Someone I can talk to
Someone that I listen
Someone I can share all with
Have a ball with ..gate to separate from
Ain't another like this one

Khalil Fong - 'Rosy' (2011)

A beautiful romantic song by Khalil Fong!!! It's a R&B/Soul track composed, written and sung by Khalil. It would've been nice if this song was on his '15' album, but it can be found in the '15 Live DVD'.

Listen below:



Lyrics: 

How can I tell you now what you already know
You are the one I really love
And when I say you're still the one I'm thinking of
I mean that you're the only one for me

Rosy if you hear me
Won't you dare come near me
I cross my heart I've got a lot to earn
And Rosy if you see me
You had best believe me
Oh I got a love I have to give
Forgive me being the one who said goodbye

How can we go back to the way it used be
I didn't know it was true love
I was too blind to see the angels from above
Now I realize you're the one they sent for me

Rosy if you hear me
Won't you dare come near me
I cross my heart I've got a lot to earn
And Rosy if you see me
You had best believe me
Oh I got a love I have to give
Forgive me being the one who said goodbye

Girl if I could turn back the time
Stay by your side
Save you the pain when I walked out that door
Maybe I could put a smile on your face like before
It was wrong for me to deny but now our love has gone
Leaving you then is now leaving me all alone
You know you have my heart, just let me love you

Rosy if you hear me
Won't you dare come near me
I broke your heart for that I have to burn
And Rosy if you see me
You had best believe me
Oh I've gotta love I've gotta learn
Forgive me being the one who said goodbye

Forgive me being the one to say goodbye

Monica - 'Amazing' (2012)

One of my favourite song on Monica's new album, New Life.

Listen below:



Lyrics:
Oh na na na 

Oh na na na 
Oh na na na 

Everything I am, everything I was 

Has been elevated through the power of your love
Everything I lost, everything I’ve been 
No longer makes a difference since you changed my name 

[Bridge:] 

Got my heart beat faster, I can barely catch my breath! 
Boy, your love took the pain from my chest! 
Now I look at us, parallel to the stars 
Boy, you claim my heart, you’re so amazing! 

[Chorus:] 

You are amazing, when I thought that I have seen it all 
Came and shown me I ain’t seen nothing 
you are amazing 
when my back was up against the wall 
It was you that hit the restart button
Took me to a better place, show me some better ways 
Now I should be living my life each and every day 
Been through so much, never thought that you would exist 
But nobody made me feel like this! You are amazing! 

Everywhere I’ve been, everything I’ve done 

All the money don't take in comparison to the compassion you show me 
Every time that you hold me 
And when I’m in your arms, I can do anything for you 

[Bridge:] 


[Chorus:] 


Realized you're mine, you never left my sight 

I was lost, but you found me and saved my life I could have died, no love inside 
Before you I was stone inside 
But you made me feel again 
Boy, I swear you are amazing! 

Oh na na na 

Oh na na na 
Oh na na na 
You are amazing 

When I thought that I have seen it all 

Came and shown me I ain’t seen nothing 
you are amazing 
when my back was up against the wall 
It was you that hit the restart button
Took me to a better place, show me some better ways 
Now I should be living my life each and every day 
Been through so much, never thought that you would exist 
And nobody made me feel like this! You are amazing! 

Gave me a new life when you made me your wife 

yes you did! 
And I love, love, love you 
Is nothing I would not do for you…
