But <a href="http://www.downtownrecordings.com/" target="_blank">Downtown Records</a> might be right about <a href="http://www.kevinmichael.com/" target="_blank">Kevin Michael</a>. After all, this is the label that brought us <a href="http://www.gnarlsbarkley.com/" target="_blank">Gnarls Barkley</a> and "Crazy," so we know Downtown has a knack for turning ultra-catchy songs into ubiquitous hits. </p> <p>Kevin Michael is a 22-year-old R&amp;B singer from Philly who takes his cues from Wyclef Jean and Stevie Wonder. He just released his first EP, <a href="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewAlbum%253Fid%253D250401409%2526s%253D143441%2526v0%253DUS_NMT_041007" target="_blank">Ya Dig?</a>, on iTunes, complete with an addictive lead single called "We All Want the Same Thing" featuring Lupe Fiasco. It's been stuck in my head, happily, for days. Kevin's debut album won't hit stores until August, but another one of his songs will be featured in an upcoming episode of <a href="/tag/entourage" >"Entourage."</a> Listen to "We All Want the Same Thing" and tell me what you think when you read more</p> <p><embed src=http://streamos.atlrec.com/wmedia/atlantic/kevin_michael/audio/weallwant_lupe.wax autoplay=false /></p> http://www.buzzsugar.com/218122#comment music Song of the Day Kevin Michael Lupe Fiasco We All Want the Same Thing Ya Dig Tue, 01 May 2007 07:50:36 -0700 BuzzSugar http://www.buzzsugar.com/218122
