Track Listing: 1. Just Dance (featuring Colby O'Donis) 2. Love Game 3. Paparazzi 4. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich 5. Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) 6. Poker Face 7. The Fame 8. Money Honey 9. Again Again 10. Boys, Boys, Boys 11. Brown Eyes 12. Summerboy 13. I Like it Rough
Is Lady Gaga the new Princess Of Pop? She definitely knew how to stand out. Her distinct fashion sense had fans go gaga over her. Her catchy tunes shot to Number 1 (Pokerface and Just Dance). Even the other tracks have a catchy tune and who knows? She might just be the breakout artist of the year for 2008. It did considerably well and I'm sure she's going to have her loyal fans right by her side.
I don't really listen to hardcore rock, but I definitely won't be able to turn down a good song. And I can't resist American Idol too. So, Carly Smithson regrouped with some of Evanescence's former members. I was definitely excited. And their debut single, definitely will bring Evanescence to mind. Nevertheless, it's a solid hit that Carly's immaculate vocals suit so much. This is what definitely see her doing and hope she makes it big.
Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. Umbrella" (feat. Jay-Z) 2. Push Up on Me 3. Don't Stop the Music 4. Breakin' Dishes 5. Shut Up and Drive 6. Hate That I Love You (feat. Ne-Yo) 7. Say It 8. Sell Me Candy 9. Lemme Get That 10. Rehab 11. Question Existing 12. Good Girl Gone Bad 13. Cry (UK Bonus Track only) 14. Disturbia 15. Take a Bow 16. If I Never See Your Face Again (Maroon 5 feat. Rihanna)
Let's just say that this was the track that made me sit up and pay attention to Rihanna. Her number 1 smash hit was Umbrella featuring Jay-Z. I'll be truthful and admit I didn't like it that much, and thought it was going to be another boring record that passes us by. But you know what? It was a solid hit. There was much more substance than I thought. It was really not bad. I personally love Good Girl Gone Bad and Rehab. Nice, nice melodies. Real great record. Give it a listen.
The Pussycat Dolls - Hush Hush; Hush Hush (Single Review)
Track Listing: Hush Hush; Hush Hush
I must say, this was one of my favourite tracks from Doll Domination. It was a slow ballad that was really wonderful, where Nicole's vocals, again, were immaculate. Now reworked, sampling "I Will Survive" from Gloria Gaynor as well, The Pussycat Dolls have remixed the song and has it retitled as "Hush Hush; Hush Hush". I really love the new disco feel of the song and I absolutely adore it.
I thought this was really cool. Slumdog Millionaire, hands up, those who haven't heard of it. See, even the soundtrack was popular. Jai Ho! was originally performed by A.R. Rahman, but Ron Fair approached The Pussycat Dolls to do an English version of it. I think it's really catchy and wow Nicole's vocals are impeccable on this record. The way she transitions into a high pitch is brilliant. I like that the Dolls did a cover of it, it definitely widened the amount of Jai Ho! fans and also brought The Pussycat Dolls into another league. Great, I really like it.
What can I say? Okay, so, the first time I heard her, was on the Oprah show and look where she is now. Her first single Note To God that was originally recorded in 2006 by JoJo if you didn't know, is great and has such great lyrics. I think Charice sort of changed it, a little bit too much I think. I loved the original song, but the last note, I know was on-key, but it was a little too try hard. The original version still is the best without a doubt, but I think this song will at least give her a chance to enter the charts and get her well-deserved recognition.
Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone (Music Video Premiere)
Track Listing: Already Gone
I think many of you would be reminded of Halo by Beyonce but don't worry, it is truly indeed Kelly's. Apparently, Kelly recorded the song first, and when Beyonce heard it, she wanted that kind of a track and Halo was produced. Both were produced by Ryan Tedder (he also wrote Battlefield for Jordin Sparks). I kinda like this song, but it's quite monotonous. But this was the track that caught on quite quickly from her latest album All I Ever Wanted. Give it a spin, and I'm sure you'll like it.
Track Listing: 1. Here We Go Again 2. Solo 3. U Got Nothin' on Me 4. Falling Over Me 5. Quiet 6. Catch Me 7. Every Time You Lie 8. Got Dynamite 9. Stop the World 10. World of Chances 11. Remember December 12. Everything You're Not 13. Gift of a Friend 14. So Far So Great
So, Demi's second album in less than a year. She looks great on the cover, that's for sure, but for the music, I'm not so sure. She's mainly in the teen pop rock kind of category, which will appeal to most Disney and Demi fans, of course. Disney plays it safe. Here's the thing. I'm not sure it was as good as her previous album, Don't Forget, where there were more than just 2 songs that actually caught on the first time I heard it. Highlights on the album would have to be Here We Go Again and Gift Of A Friend. The rest are forgettable, really.
Here's Demi Lovato at it again. I must say, she quite rushed out the album because her debut album was released only last year, so that's quite fast. I must say that this new single didn't hit me as fast as stuff like Get Back or Don't Forget did. This was just, pretty mundane. As with the rest of the album. I hope she stops rushing albums out and really work hard and produce great music.
Now this, is a good dance anthem. Miss Independent was Ne-Yo's second single off his 2008 album Year Of The Gentleman. I heard the lead single Closer, and thought it was decent, but this is better. It's also catchier too. This is the word in dance tracks by the pop male, contemporary artists. This song was designed to please.
Has he gotten a British accent or something? It feels weird. But nevertheless, this is an electronica dance anthem that doesn't show any vocal range or whatsoever. But it is a change however. It's like a male version of Cascada. His second album that will be coming out under Tommy Boy Records should be something Blake Lewis fans should look out for. But you know, this doesn't really stick in your head. I'm not saying it's forgettable, but then again, it isn't really catchy. You're better off listening to Lady Gaga, although he is rather different, and I'll give him props for that.
Well, we decided to go another way with this blog, sure we'll also be doing reviews but we'll also provide download links, news and etc. Which I definitely believe is really more interesting, so I hope you guys support us!
Anyway, Mariah's new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel was supposed to come out late August. But she has pushed it back so it'll only be in stores early September. Nevertheless, I'm excited to hear the album!
August is coming, and we have put up a poll for you to vote who you think our next artist of the month should be. Here are the contenders:
Mariah Carey - Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel's coming out! Cobra Starship - Hot Mess Sean Paul - Imperial Blaze Sean Kingston - Tomorrow Colbie Caillat - Breakthrough
The above is the music video for Mariah Carey's lead single, Obsesesed from her new album coming out this year, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. Some don't like where Mariah's going with her music. From the pop diva to the R&B Queen, that's really a radical change for Mariah. But you know what? This is what keeps her topping the charts and in with the crowd. So far, The Emancipation of Mimi and E=MC² have been very successful and offered a glimpse into her direction of music. She is where she is now, and with Obsessed, it's familiar, but still has a catchy tune. I don't hate it, but I do miss a little bit of the old Mariah. But we'll leave that to Whitney, and we'll let Mariah do her thing. It's really not bad, although I hope she offers something like Bye Bye in her album coming out later this year.
Who can forget Adam Lambert, the runner-up to Kris Allen in the American Idol finale was quite a shock wasn't it? His screaming, his soulful rendition of Mad World, you have to admit Adam was daringly different. His new single Want, okay maybe not so new, he recorded before Idol and was even planning to release an album. Well his new single, Want is not horrible by any measures, but if he didn't take part in Idol and released that album he probably wouldn't be as famous as he is today. He is one of the hottest stars right now. The fans are definitely waiting in anticipation for his debut album. But this track leaked to the internet a while back. And now, we're here to review it. It is, mainstream, sad to say. He didn't really showcase the vocal prowess he had, but the song had a really nice melody and if he spiced things up, I think that'd be great. This song may or may not appear in the album, but this track is good. Check it out.
Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. Girlfriend 2. I Can Do Better 3. Runaway 4. The Best Damn Thing 5. When You're Gone 6. Everything Back But You 7. Hot 8. Innocence 9. I Don't Have to Try 10. One of Those Girls 11. Contagious 12. Keep Holding On
Avril Lavigne definitely wants to be the 'best damn thing' around. She has grown from angry teenager to classy mid-twenties woman. She still has the punk rocker image there, but she definitely still looks good. I especially want to praise When You're Gone, Innocence, and Keep Holding On. Those are my personal favourites on the album because I really like the melodies of those songs. Avril Lavigne is coming out to really dominate the charts, and I think it well has the ability too. Let's say hardcore punk rock fans of Avril Lavigne will like Girlfriend, but I don't really like it. But she is truly growing as an artist, and I'm sure this album is one of the best damn albums out there.
I really like Jordin Sparks, her new single Battlefield, from her sophomore album of the same title has a really catchy tune. Really, this features a more mature Jordin Sparks really stepping up her game. The cover of her album is really interesting too. She performed it live on American Idol, and well, she looked really great, might not have sounded too great, but it was okay. This song was written by Ryan Tedder, from One Republic, and I think he did a really good job. I like that Jordin Sparks' Battlefield has a really nice melody and rhythm to it. I really really like it. It sounds cool too.
Track Listing: 1. Last Night 2. Identified 3. First Bad Habit 4. Hook It Up 5. Don't Ask Why 6. Sneakernight 7. Amazed 8. Don't Leave 9. Paper Cut 10. Party On The Moon 11. Did It Ever Cross Your Mind 12. Gone With The Wind
Vanessa Hudgens' second album Identified didn't really impress me. On the cover, she looks a little baby face and distorted, and most of the tracks are rather forgettable. Even the album's lead single Sneakernight is only okay. Another teensy tune that only Vanessa's hardcore fans will love. It's all a bit boring, really. It's nothing like her debut album V, which I happen to prefer by a mile, this is an average album that's absolutely boring and none of the melodies stick to your head except Sneakernight. If you want a teensy album worth the money, go get yourself Ashley Tisdale's Headstrong or Guilty Pleasure.
Leona Lewis - Spirit [Deluxe Edition] (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. Bleeding Love 2. Whatever It Takes 3. Homeless 4. Better in Time 5. Yesterday 6. Take a Bow 7. I Will Be 8. Angel 9. Here I Am 10. I'm You 11. The Best You Never Had 12. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 13. Footprints in the Sand 14. A Moment Like This 15. Forgive Me (Bonus Track) 16. Misses Glass (Bonus Track) 17. Run (Bonus Track)
After Leona Lewis' win of the X-Factor crown, her debut album Spirit was a raving success and the album's lead single Bleeding Love went on to be a hit globally. Her album was such a success it was re-released as a deluxe edition. All the songs in there is great, ALL, I tell you. I love it so much. You should go down and get yourself a copy if you already haven't. All the tracks have a nice beat and are all worthy of being released as a single, which I believe will do very well. It's a class act, and will definitely remain one of the greatest albums in 21st century pop music.
Hannah Montana - Hannah Montana movie soundtrack (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home 2. Let's Get Crazy 3. The Good Life 4. Everything I Want - Steve Rushton 5. Don't Walk Away 6. Hoedown Throwdown 7. Dream 8. The Climb 9. Butterfly Fly Away - Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus 10. Backwards (Acoustic) - Rascal Flatts 11. Back to Tennessee - Billy Ray Cyrus 12. Crazier - Taylor Swift 13. Bless the Broken Road (Acoustic)- Rascal Flatts 14. Let's Do This 15. Spotlight 16. Game Over 17. What's Not To Like 18. The Best of Both Worlds: 2009 Movie Mix
The Hannah Montana movie soundtrack is surprisingly not bad. Most of the songs anyway. My personal favourites are Backwards, The Climb,Back To Tennesse, Crazier and Bless The Broken Road. The others are just the same, boring teensy-boppers that fail to excite me. It's country that the film should be featuring right? And not the pop thing they're promoting Hannah Montana as. Anyway, I liked that they focused less on Miley Cyrus on the soundtrack and with Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift promoting tracks to the soundtrack. I liked it's overall sound and it is by a clear mile, better than all the other Hannah Montana soundtrack. I could actually see some effort here.
Track Listing: 1. Taking Chances 2. Alone 3. Eyes On Me 4. My Love 5. Shadow Of Love 6. Surprise Surprise 7. This Time 8. New Dawn 9. A Song For You 10. A World To Believe In 11. Can't Fight The Feelin' 12. I Got Nothin' Left 13. Right Next To The Right One 14. Fade Away 15. That's Just The Woman In Me 16. Skies Of L.A.
Celine Dion's Taking Chances was quite a big hit wasn't it? Well, I liked that very much, but I'm not sure about the whole album. Sorry, but I didn't like any of the tracks in there except Taking Chances, Alone (a Heart original), and A Song For You. The rest was just, unimpactful. I really thought Celine would be able to create better tracks than that, I honestly did. I really didn't enjoy it, sorry. And the American Idol girls do Alone better, it just isn't that special.
Track Listing: 1. As I Am (Intro) 2. Go Ahead 3. Superwoman 4. No One 5. Like You'll Never See Me Again 6. Lesson Learned (featuring John Mayer) 7. Wreckless Love 8. The Thing About Love 9. Teenage Love Affair 10. I Need You 11. Where Do We Go from Here 12. Prelude to a Kiss 13. Tell You Something (Nana's Reprise) 14. Sure Looks Good to Me
So, Alicia Keys' latest album As I Am. I wasn't really impressed. I liked No One the best, the album's lead single, but the others like Teenage Love Affair was okay and rather forgettable, I must say. The others hardly made an impact on me. I felt Superwoman was too long and got boring after a while. I was really disappointed with it. I thought Alicia Keys was better than that. I think No One really eliminated all the other tracks. Thank goodness I didn't waste more money buying the "Super Edition". 1 track(No One) just cannot save the whole album. Really, really disappointed.
Track Listing: 1. Come Back To Me 2. Let Go 3. Say OK 4. Never Underestimate A Girl 5. Let´s Dance 6. Drive 7. Afraid 8. Promise 9. Whatever Will Be 10. Rather Be With You 11. Psychic 12. Lose Your Love
I must say Vanessa's debut album V, was better than I thought. The colour theme was very nice and she looked gorgeous in almost all the pictures. Come Back To Me was the album's lead single. A groovy, fun to dance to song that I felt was a little teensy for me. Say OK, the next single from the album, was better too, and the music video even featured her boyfriend Zac Efron. Almost all the tracks on the album dance anthems, but some slow songs like Drive and Whatever Will Be were really good too. Let's Dance speaks for itself and will definitely get you moving. Overall, it's a fairly okay album which in my opinion was better than her second album Identified.
Track Listing: 1. The Best of Both Worlds 2. Who Said 3. Just Like You 4. Pumpin' Up The Party 5. If We Were A Movie 6. I Got Nerve 7. The Other Side Of Me 8. This Is The Life 9. Pop Princess 10. She's No You 11. Find Yourself In You 12. Shining Star 13. I Learned From You
Another Disney sure-fire hit, Hannah Montana, the successful television series that is now in its third series, the first series soundtrack is still the best out of the three seasons so far. Miley Cyrus' alter ego Hannah Montana contributes 8 tracks to the album. With the others being The Click Five, Jesse McCartney, Everlife, B5, and Billy Ray Cyrus, and Miley Cyrus herself. It's yet another teensy kind of soundtrack to get teens to sing along too.
Track Listing: 1. Losing Grip 2. Complicated 3. Sk8er Boi 4. I'm With You 5. Mobile 6. Unwanted 7. Tomorrow 8. Anything But Ordinary 9. Things I'll Never Say 10. My World 11. Nobody's Fool 12. Too Much To Ask 13. Naked
Avril Lavigne's successful debut album Let Go produced some hits like Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I'm With You and Losing Grip that put Avril Lavigne on the charts and a major recording artist. Just a teen, her 13 track album was a hit among teens around the world. Let Go was definitely worth more than just a listen. This was the one of the first albums I owned and definitely introduced me to the Pop/Rock genre of music which I really liked. Until now, I've never gotten sick of her music.
High School Musical 2 - High School Musical 2 Soundtrack (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. What Time Is It 2. Fabulous 3. Work This Out 4. You Are The Music In Me 5. I Don't Dance 6. You Are The Music In Me (Sharpay Version) 7. Gotta Go My Own Way 8. Bet On It 9. Everyday 10. All For One 11. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
The highly successful telemovie, High School Musical has spun-off a sequel. And all the songs on the soundtrack are definitely fun to groove along to. It's very teensy and great for summer. All the tracks have a catchy tune and I think lots of teens will go crazy over it. It's just a fun soundtrack, a kid version of Mamma Mia soundtrack. Not the best album I've heard, but will get people up and dancing and singing along to it.
Track Listing: 1. Acting Out 2. It's Alright, It's OK 3. Masquerade 4. Overrated 5. Hot Mess 6. How Do You Love Someone 7. Tell Me Lies 8. What If 9. Erase & Rewind 10. Hair 11. Delete You 12. Me Without You 13. Crank It Up 14. Switch
Ashley Tisdale's sophomore album Guilty Pleasure is not really what other people say to be Ashley trying to grow up. Her music has always been like that and is sure to be a hit with teens all round. Her lead single It's Alright, It's OK is really quite decent. My personal favourite definitely is What If. American Idol's Kara DioGuardi wrote the song for Ashley and I must say it's really nice. Right now, It's Alright, It's OK, What If and Time's Up (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track) have found a place in my heart. But other than that, the other tracks are just forgettable unless you're a hardcore Ashley Tisdale fan. Well, give it a listen, you might not want to buy it, and you might. You make the decision. But I definitely liked more tracks from her debut album, Headstrong.
Track Listing: 1. Breakaway 2. Since U Been Gone 3. Behind These Hazel Eyes 4. Because of You 5. Gone 6. Addicted 7. Where Is Your Heart 8. Walk Away 9. You Found Me 10. I Hate Myself for Losing You 11. Hear Me 12. Beautiful Disaster (live)
So, Kelly Clarkson's second studio album. I think it was not only better than her first, it was one of the bests, simply. Looking better and better, Kelly's second album featured mega hits like Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Because Of You and Walk Away.I felt it was a really good album and all her hits were great. Even the other tracks were pretty decent too. I LOVED IT.
Track Listing:
1. Oxygen
2. The Little Things
3. One Fine Wire
4. Bubbly
5. Feelings Show
6. Midnight Bottle
7. Realize
8. Battle
9. Tailor Made
10. Magic
11. Tied Down
12. Capri
13. Tell Him (live) [Bonus Track]
14. Kiss The Girl [Bonus Track]
15. Somethin' Special (Beijing Olympic Mix) [Bonus Track]
16. Circles [Bonus Track]
17. Older [Bonus Track]
18. You (with Schiller) [Bonus Track]
19. Turn Your Lights Down Low (live with Justin Young) [Bonus Track]
20. Magic (Piano Version) [Bonus Track]
21. Bubbly (Solo Acoustic) [Bonus Track]
That's a lot of tracks for one album, and Colbie definitely makes it special. This 21 track deluxe edition of Colbie's debut album Coco, includes many new studio recordings and live performances. The one that interests me the most, is Bubbly, the solo acoustic version. That's definitely a delicious track, since Bubbly was such a hit. I wondered how marvellous it would sound acoustic. Definitely didn't let down. The basic 12 tracks from the non-deluxe edition album are great, and the bonus tracks make it so much greater. Colbie's soothing voice is simply amazing.
Track Listing: 1. Flat On The Floor 2. All-American Girl 3. So Small 4. Just A Dream 5. Get Out Of This Town 6. Crazy Dreams 7. I Know You Won't 8. Last Name 9. You Won't Find This 10. I Told You So 11. The More Boys I Meet 12. Twisted 13. Wheel Of The World
Here, Carrie's magic sparkle of her voice is carried to Carnival Ride, Carrie's second studio album after Some Hearts in 2005. I must say, her music is good. Flat On The Floor, All-American Girl and Last Name all are catchy tunes. She has really stepped up her game since her win back in 2005 of the American Idol crown. So Small and I Told You So are nice, nice slow songs with the latter being a Randy Travis original. She recorded a duet with him this year and it was brilliant. Enough of me talking, go listen to it, yeah?
Track Listing: 1. Fearless 2. Fifteen 3. Love Story 4. Hey Stephen 5. White Horse 6. You Belong With Me 7. Breathe (ft. Colbie Caillat) 8. Tell Me Why 9. You're Not Sorry 10. The Way I Loved You 11. Forever & Always 12. The Best Day 13. Change 14. Our Song (Bonus Track) 15. Teardrops On My Guitar (Bonus Track) 16. Should've Said No (Bonus Track)
Well then, it looks like Taylor's all dressed for success in Fearless. The best three songs from her previous album, Taylor Swift also make an appearance here as bonus tracks. Her album's lead single, Love Story, which peaked at #4, which was quite a good effort, only offered a glimpse into her second studio album. That's because all the other tracks are also good. Such as Fearless, White Horse, You Belong With Me, Breathe, and You're Not Sorry. The track that I was drawn to was Breathe, simply because Colbie was in it. Her feel good, soothing voice here more than did the track justice. No wonder Taylor thanked her. In any case, Fearless, which happened to peak at #1, is a good album. I suggest giving it a listen.
Track Listing: 1. The Way You Do Me 2. Anything 3. This Time 4. Too Little Too Late 5. Let It Rain 6. The High Road 7. Like That 8. Good Ol' 9. Coming For You 10. Exceptional 11. How To Touch A Girl 12. Note To God 13. Do Whatcha Gotta Do (Bonus Track) 14. I Can Take You There (Bonus Track) 15. Too Little Too Late [Spanish Version] (Bonus Track)
JoJo is really very young, but she has mad potential. The High Road's lead single Too Little Too Late featured JoJo's vocal chops and her range really well. She also shows it through other tracks like The High Road, Exceptional, How To Touch A Girl and Note To God. I think she's really an amazing young artist. Her RnB style seperates her from other teen artists like Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and Vanessa Hudgens. She's also miles ahead of her age. She sings really brilliantly and her albums don't sell on the fact she has a money-making Disney teen show like Hannah Montana called Mojo JoJo. Really, JoJo is one of the best out there for her age, and I really like her albums. She's got a secure future with age-appropriate tracks too. I felt Exceptional and Note To God really meaningful, and her lyrics just speak for themselves. I hope her next album, All I Want Is Everything will be just as good, if not better.
Track Listing: 1. Declaration 2. Heroes 3. Light On 4. Come Back To Me 5. Life On The Moon 6. Bar-ba-sol 7. Mr. Sensitive 8. Lie 9. I Did It For You 10. Avalanche 11. Permanent 12. A Daily Anthem
I must say, this was a pretty decent effort from the seventh season of American Idol, David Cook. His voice has a magic sparkle to it, a gruff, rough, rock-edge kind of voice. And I really like that. His first single Light On, was pretty average, it never topped my favourite songs list, but it did manage to get in. Come Back To Me and Permanent, those were definitely better, and I loved those 2 tracks the most from David's self-titled album. I liked Permanent as David was really emotional in the song, and his vocal chops could clearly be heard, and I liked it very, very much. The rest, well, never really appeared mighty impressive to me, but were all fine songs.
Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted Deluxe Edition (Album Review)
Track Listing: 1. My Life Would Suck Without You 2. I Do Not Hook Up 3. Cry 4. Don't Let Me Stop You 5. All I Ever Wanted 6. Already Gone 7. If I Can't Have You 8. Save You 9. Whyyawannabringmedown 10. Long Shot 11. Impossible 12. Ready 13. I Want You 14. If No One Will Listen 15. Tip Of My Tongue (Bonus Track) 16. The Day We Fell Apart (Bonus Track)
Wow, really, is the word to sum up the album. It's defininetly colourful, really attractive, and I must say, this album smokes. All I Ever Wanted is the fourth studio album released this year by the original American Idol. She's also the bestselling. I love this album. A lot of the tracks are great the moment you hear it. And the whole album is HOT once you hear all the tracks after a while. Yes, some tracks may take time to grow on you, such as I Do Not Hook Up, Don't Let Me Stop You, If I Can't Have You, Save You, Whyyawannabringmedown, Impossible, Ready, I Want You, and the 2 bonus tracks you see there. Well, the rest are definitely all amazing and you'll definitely love them. My personal favourites are Cry, Long Shot, and If No One Will Listen. Those are my top 3 favourites, but the rest are definitely more than decent. Right now, I'm loving If No One Will Listen. It's a ballad, and it definitely shows Kelly's softer side. The whole album is mighty impressive and you should go get one, if you already haven't.
Kelly Clarkson, who can forget her mind-blowing performances on Idol? Now, back with her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted, which peaked at the Bilboard Charts at #1, her second single doesn't seem to have any lack of substance at all. I Do Not Hook Up is a fun, pop/rock-ish song that's definitely anything but boring. Kelly's mind-blowing pipes can be heard once in the song. She is absolutely brilliant, and I've got to tell you, I didn't really like it that much when I first bought the album, but trust me, it'll grow on you.
Track Listing: 1. Tatoo 2. One Step At A Time 3. No Air (feat. Chris Brown) 4. Freeze 5. Shy Boy 6. Now You Tell Me 7. Next to You 8. Just For The Record 9. Permanent Monday 10. Young And In Love 11. See My Side 12. God Loves Ugly 13. This Is My Now
It's looks like the people at Idol invested quite a sum on young Miss Sparks here, 17 at the time the album was released. They had Jordin do a duet with Chris Brown which was a hit immediately. Tatoo was the first single to be released, it climbed the charts pretty quickly and the catchy tune remained stuck in my head, til I heard One Step At A Time. Then subsequently, No Air. I liked every single track off her debut album. But Freeze, Shy Boy, Now You Tell Me, Young And in Love, See My Side and God Loves Ugly didn't really catch on. But I still loved the album and am so going to buy her sophomore album, Battlefield. This was a great album!
We review the latest in 21st century. Mostly we do pop, but it doesn't really matter, along with new music premieres, video premieres, album premieres. If the links don't work, please notify me in the cbox right below and I will post a new link in the cbox. Thanks.
Artist Of The Month. (November 2011)
The Power Rangers of British pop, The Saturdays, are returning this year with a more mature sound and image, with the girlband taking a stab at the pop/dance wave with their fourth album On Your Radar's first single Notorious being a total flip in direction in their sound, and was noticeably more clubby compared to their previous singles and albums. They then took things a level further with the complete rave-tastic All Fired Up, which is without a doubt their best single release, not surprising since the track was produced by production powerhouse Xenomania, the machine behind pretty much all of Girls Aloud's discography. The pop five-piece are charging forward with the Christmassy ballad My Heart Takes Over before their album On Your Radar drops November 21st!
