Ten neo-soul artists to revisit

One of my favourite styles of music is neo soul. I remember hearing Musiq Soulchild for the first time and falling in love with not only his vocals and lyrics, but the atmosphere his music evoked and I'm happy I was able to see him in concert years ago. I think all of these artists make me feel a similar way.

Neo soul makes me think of sunny days, laughter, love and good times.

Here's a list of some of my fav neo soul artists and songs:

Musiq Soulchild - Halfcrazy; Girl Next Door

Erykah Badu - Bag Lady; The Healer
Dwele - Subject; Timeless
Bilal - Love Poems
D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel?); Africa; Really Love

Jill Scott - Getting' In the Way; Whatever
Amerie - Why Don't We Fall in Love
Lauryn Hill - To Zion

Raphael Saadiq - Be Here
Amel Larrieux - For Real

Career: Ever wanted to know how to succeed as a journalist?

Freelance writer Bim Adewunmi, 28, who’s written in publications such as BlackHair magazine and The Guardian , gives us some tips… Bim in the sun How did you get into journalism? I decided to be a journalist when I was 18. It sounds slightly immodest to say that I was always good at English, but I was – it was my favourite subject through all my school years. I dallied with the idea of pharmacology before coming to my senses – I can only assume I was drunk or high to think that was a good choice – and so alongside my A-Levels in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology, I tacked on an AS-Level in Media.

I learned old-fashioned journalism skills – teeline shorthand, newspaper reporting, the basic rules of writing copy – and also benefited from a great teaching staff of working j...

Life: 2010 - So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye!

The year has been eventful hasn't it? No Big Brother on channel 4 (but I think The Family has replaced that reality hunger ;o) ), X Factor's growing bigger than ever (thanks Wagner!), Kate and William are giving us a Bank Holiday next year, the economy was a lil' better than last year (but it's still not great), cables released what world leaders really think of each other, parts of the US and UK almost came to a standstill because of the white stuff - snow, that is ;o), Northern Ireland and parts of Yorskhire are without water a man who created a system for guys and girls to rate attractiveness (allegedly) became TIME's person of the year , and we came to learn that 500,000,000 of us use it in an entirely different way as Facebook. So, what did 2010 mean to you? I hope it was a good 'un, the fact that I'm still here to make my dreams a reality is sommat I'm grateful for. If 2010 wasn't your best year so far, make 2011 so. ...

Health: How do you treat a cold?

It's snowing all over the UK, and I have no scientific proof, but weeks after I stopped eating garlic I got this cold - and it's not nice. It's been generally accepted is that garlic helps boost the immune system. I also love honey and lemon. (Photo from http://en.loadtr.com/Lemon-412529.htm) What works for you? It may help us!
