Exclusive: Nasser Loves Whitney
As you might have noticed if you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook, we are totally devastated from the death of the legendary Whitney Houston. Not only because she made a great contribution to the world of music, but also because we are music aficionados and we care a lot about this kind of music as we believe it has, not only an artistic impact but also a cultural one all over the world. Whitney is one of the greatest forces of that change and the progress of pop – a genre we love. At any rate, we know that you are about done right now with hearing “I Will Always Love You” blasted all over the media – A cover song that is originally Dolly Parton’s. For Micheal Jackson it was “Billie Jean” and for Amy Winehouse it was “Rehab.” And, as you might expect from Loft965.com, we are not ones to stop at the big hits only. So, we decided to compile a playlist for all the songs and remixes in Whitney Houston’s career that might go forgotten right now just like we did for Michael Jackson. Here it is. We hope you enjoy it.
Whitney Houston’s cause of death…
1Since we heard the tragic news that one of the greatest pop artists has passed away we have been scouring the internet for any clues as to what the cause of death was. She seemed like she was on a healthier track and 48 is way too young for someone to die. First there was those pictures of her sweaty night out where Whitney Houston looked liked she had blood on her leg, we dismissed it as red wine in the beginning and then took a closer at the night. It’s not like she was on a downward spiral like everyone talks about it. In fact, Whitney was doing much better than she was this entire decade, at least to our distanced knowledge.
At any rate, Amy Winehouse’s death sparked a general consensus that it was due to illegal drug abuse only for it to come out as a result of excessive alcohol consumption. Now, she looked like she had a couple of drinks before and maybe she couldn’t live with the shame of her pictures being splattered all over the world the next day with her being completely discombobulated after she championed the role of a recovered addict to Oprah while promoting her last album I Look To You. What am I insinuating? Well, could it be possible that the death was a suicide. You know, she was in a bathtub. This is standard procedure for people who slit their wrists because the warm water keeps the vessels dilated for the blood to come out faster.
I am on speculating from afar. But, until its ruled out its not too far-fetched. Granted, it might be a drug relapse or an overdose on prescription drugs. Actually, it may very well be. But, something tells me that these photos of her hard partying did not sit well with the diva who finally polished her image after years and years of trying.
Correct me if I am wrong. This is just some blabber from a loving fan.
Watch: Amy Winehouse’s “Hidden Treasures” documentary!
2This is a 15-minute documentary of Amy Winehouse’s posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. We are not too happy about the album, because there are versions of older tracks and some songs that we consider rarities. It’s not really a full-length album, more of a collection of many different bits a pieces that have been reworked or revisited. We know there are more tracks hidden that they are not releasing until the future.
First Listen: “Halfway” by Amy Winehouse
1Another track from Amy Winehouse’s new posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. It’s called “Halfway” and it’s not in full quality but it’s worth a listen. Click here for it.
First Listen: “Like Smoke” by Amy Winehouse
1Tracks from Amy Winehouse’s posthumous Lioness: Hidden Treasures are leaking left and right. This is a new track from it called “Like Smoke” and it features Nas, or is it someone else? To tell you the truth, we wanted less rap and more Amy. Actually, no rap at all. That voice!
JoJo covers Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good”
1JoJo is doing cover left and right to promote her comeback with the new single “Disaster.” We hope the song is not a reflection of her junior album. She turned some of the vocals on this track into MOR R&B.
