Sneak Peak Album Review of Day and Night by Chrishan

Rich Jones
One of my favorite things to do when going to social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook is to look for new artists and listen to their music. The reason I enjoy this is because I love good music and I always welcome an opportunity to become a fan of someone new. I don't mean a fan an in the sense of Facebook where you "become a fan" by clicking a button and then follow the artist's Twitter feed. No, I mean that I want to find someone new so that I can be exposed to his or her music and then purchase it and enjoy. This is not something that Facebook offers which is why I use Myspace and their Myspace Music to find new music.

This is how I first discovered Miley Cyrus and after hearing her song The Climb I was a fan. Myspace is also how I discover Chrishan who is essentially an 18-year-old RNB prodigy that has an amazing voice. According to his Myspace page Chrishan is nicknamed The Future because he shows an amazing amount of talent and his family was behind the launch of such careers as Life Jennings and Jay Rush. According to the site his music influences include Usher, Babyface and Michael Jackson in addition to Stevie Wonder. The thing that caught my attention was he has tracks, which feature Lil Wayne and T.I. on his page. To be honest, his style reminds me of a mix between Drake, R Kelly and Akon. This is a compliment to me and I am sure he will be very big in the future. He is much like Ne-yo but with a ghetto twist that most people love in other artists. This is the reason I pre ordered his album titled Day And Night via Amazon and decided to give it a listen on Youtube before it arrives in stores.

The CD includes 21 tracks, which I think is a lot of material at a very good value of $10. The features include J. Watts and Meech but the problem is that this takes away from the album. I think he should have more rappers on the album because it would have blended well with the RNB. His style of Thug RNB is something that I enjoyed as I did when R Kelly originally invented the form of art. However, it does get a bit old after listening to the entire CD and there is very little replay value here. I would rate this 2/5 at best and suggest you keep an eye out for future releases by this artist.
