Roxanne Tataei is a rising Soul Diva who’s set to become a household name. Tipped by MTV and the BBC as a star for 2010, the 21-year-old London singer songwriter is fast making a name for herself. She’s performed with Mark Ronson and opened for Raphael Saadiq, just to name a few. Headlined the HMV “Next Big Thing” event at the Jazz Café earlier this month, winning rave reviews, and is set to headline her own show at the London Tabernacle next month (March 18^th).

With the release of her debut single “My Baby Left Me” fast approaching, we had a little chat with the songstress:

Listen: Rox – My Baby Left Me

EM: Congratulations on the Jazz Café show last week. I went a long and thought you did a great job.

Rox: Thank you so much. The weird thing is Krystal Warren (Brooklyn based musician) was opening for me, which was pretty amazing. I’m such a huge fan of hers; it was really cool meeting her.

EM: You Seemed very confidant on stage, how do you find performing live and do you ever get nervous?

Rox: I don’t get nervous anymore, it’s more excitement than nerves. I’ve been performing for quite a few years now and have learnt to deal with the nerves. I actually feel most comfortable when I’m on stage. I just love performing and interacting with the crowd, so it’s definitely more of an exciting feeling than anything.

RJD2 is a busy man now that his latest album has officially been released. The album, The Colossus, was just released on the 19th so it was a great pleasure for us to be able to speak with him after such a major release even though we only had a chance to ask some rather softball type questions. Check out the interview below and definitely go buy his latest album, especially considering the fact that RJ is  in control of all aspects of his album release with his own label.

Here’s a track, from the new album, to ride on while you read the interview:

EM: How many records do you have in your collection?

RJD2: Never counted, but probably in the range of 5000. Not a huge collection by any standards, really.

There has been some buzz going around about The Flaming Lips making a cover for Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” album. I think it sounds like a pretty good idea…but it’s just hard for me to understand why they want to do an album pretty much no one on the planet could make better. They do a pretty good cover of “Eclipse” her at KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. They stopped by to talk a little about their recently released album, ‘Embryonic‘.

The band did reveal a few details about the cover album, but no release date. In the meantime, check out the video here! They start rocking on Eclipse towards the end, they play one of their tracks first. So, either listen or skip through.

Enjoy.
