Miami is over... should we say we're glad it is? Maybe we should as there was so much fresh music and so much parties in such a short time it was getting to much... anyway, even though that we brought you lots of new music, there are some tunes we did not yet get a copy (but we are working on it):
- Loni Clark "Rushing" (Alix Alvarez Remix)(Nervous)
- Anika Noni Rose, Beyonce, Jaime Fox, Jennifer Hudson and Keith Robinson "Family" (Blaze Mix)(Sony/BMG)
- Studio Apartment featuring Monique Bingham "Unknown" (New World Records Japan)
- Studip Apartment featuring Deborah Bond "Something between" (New World Records Japan)
- Teressa Griffin "Wonderful"
- ...
And we do have some more music from Miami which we have to sort out, so expect some more WMC Aftermath coming in the next few weeks.
