A taster and critique of rare R&B/urban music from yesteryear... there are no downloads here. For people wishing to hear the stuff I post, You Tube videos from my collection are available for a limited time and for any past posts you can (Listen here.) Sorry but I do not post full songs. Any samples shared are purely for demonstration purposes only. Most, if not all, of the things I post are out-of-print and follow the guidelines for Fair Use policies. If you want the music then you'll have to go out and buy it yourself. I do not support file sharing.
Everything I post is owned IN PHYSICAL by either myself or my co-contributors Stuaaart (US) and Lewsic (UK). I don't harass artists and producers for their unreleased work and I don't post blog freebies, trades or stuff that is available on iTunes or Amazon.
Touted as the next Brandy, Zakiya was signed to the A&M distributed DV8 Records in the mid-90s and released two singles (Love Like Mine & My Love Won't Fade Away) and an album. She had minimal success and a follow-up project was eventually shelved by the label after only one single. Sadly only this 7-track sampler (which was only ever pressed in the UK) and a further 12" featuring one other song are in existence. The style is predominantly smooth R&B with G-Funk and even some disco influences. Slightly out-dated when compared to the new style of R&B that was emerging in the late 90s but still a lost gem nevertheless...
THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO STUAAART WHO OWNS AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS RARITY.
