When A Man (from the album Lovesick)<\/a>
\nRaheem DeVaughn & Apollo Brown<\/strong>
\nThe album Lovesick is a collaboration between the singer Raheem DeVaughn and hip-hop producer Apollo Brown. \u2018When A Man\u2019 is a take-off on the famous Percy Sledge song but not only. It transcends the original, mixes it with elements of other songs, twist and turns it, interweaving soul, funk, and classical R&B. Raheem DeVaughn (born 1975 in Newark, New Jersey) is the son of jazz cellist Abdul Wadud. He was raised in Maryland by his mother, Imani Smith, and started out as a musician in his teens. Apollo Brown (Eric Vincent Stevens) was born 1980, grew up in Great Rapids Michigan and later moved to Detroit. His career took off after he won the Red Bull Big Tune Challenge, in 2009. He is known for using antiquated technology to great effect.

What the Flood Leaves Behind<\/a>
\nAmy Helm<\/strong>
\nSinger-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amy Helm\u2019s third album, What the Flood Left Behind, is her most autobiographical to date, both in content and creation. These ten songs represent a gathering of ideas and experiences, friends, and collaborators. Yet, the album also marks a landing \u2013 a pause for the traveling musician and mother of two young boys seeing clarity in her calling and career. After making three albums and performing in far-flung places, Helms (born 1970) returned home to Woodstock\u2019s Levon Helm studios, aka The Barn, just before the pandemic to record and reclaim and a sense of self. The songs themselves reflect Helm\u2019s inner strength and personal growth. Levon Helm was the drummer of The Band and Amy\u2019s father.
