According to Sirius: The best R&B from today's stars and yesterday's superstars. Your favorite joints from Luther, Brian McKnight, Mary J. Blige, The Gap Band, Prince...it's on Heart & Soul.My Experience: They forgot Whitney. If there's one thing I'll take away from my two days of Heart & Soul, it's the seemingly never-ending supply of Whitney. Ah, well...my fault for not getting this posted last night. If I had to differentiate this from other channels, it just seemed like the lighter side of hip-hop. Kind of like an SAT question...Sirius Hits 1 is to Starlite as Hip-Hop Nation is to ___________? Yep...Heart & Soul. I forced my co-worker Ben to listen to some of it on the way to lunch today, but enacted Rule Caveat #4, which states that, when accompanied by a passenger in the car, I may choose to instead listen to MP3s I've uploaded into the Sirius Radio device.
A Time and a Place for Everything: American Idol? I dunno...seems like I heard a lot of this stuff being sung by Ruben Studdard and Fantasia.
Sample Playlist:
- Chrisette Michele, If I Have My Way
- Usher, You Make Me Wanna...
- Freddie Jackson, You Are My Lady
- Heather Headley, In My Mind
- Joe, I Wanna Know
- Deniece Williams, Black Butterfly
Verdict: Pass. Sorry. I didn't really care for Starlite, and I don't really care for a more soulful version of it, either.
