Best Kept Secret - J-88

Advantages: All of it is good
Disadvantages: none i can think of

...i heard a DJ on the radio said that this is one of the BEST R&B album of the decade and that it redefined MARY J BLIGE and her talents and to be honest I was not convinced. I didn't hear any tracks but I presumed he was following the hype however then I saw the video for ALL THAT I CAN SAY aand i was in shock...what a video and what a song, strong powerful vocals and lyrics Lauren Hill really did well. I was to learn however that this was not an album with one good hit and the song "Your Child" gave me the chills. I kept playing that song over and over and each time i get cold bumps, this was a very bold and strong song that dealt with issues that are often swept under the carpet. I was totally impressed and would recommend this album to anyone who wishes to hear good music. This really changed my view of MARY J BLIGE and her talents... Read review

Advantages: Original music, cast poster, THE DANDY WARHOLS!!
Disadvantages: a few songs i didn't like

...put on mix 2 as it is similar to most of those and doesn't fit as well. I haven't ever heard of 'Spoon' Before this but would like to hear more as i really like this song. This is played at the beginning of 'The Outsider' episode, when Ryan and Seth are on the way for lobster. 5. Jet - Move on. Best known for 'Are you gonna be my girl?' Jet have made this song great by having a lot of different vocals in it. This is played at the end of 'The Secret' episode. 6. The 88 - How good can it be. This is a really good song. I love it you can either chill or party to this song as it has all kinds of feelings put in to it.

The Doves are already quite... Read review

Advantages: good anthem
Disadvantages: bad vocals, some noriginal songs

.... Lo and ex boyfriend Sean Combs aka. P Diddy, this is yet another dance anthem, but it isn’t a good contender compared to Play but it has potential. It is quite a slow tempo dance song. 5) Ain’t it funny This song was co-written by Lopez, and this is definitely my favourite song along with Play. It has the Latin feel to it. It’s quite a mid-tempo song with a lot of Latin sounds here. J.Lo’s voice is at her best in this song and was released as the third single from this album. 6) Carino This song has a very authentic Latino sound, it sounds a lot like Santana’s music. J. Lo’s voice again isn’t her best here but it has a good tune to it. It’s an up-tempo ballad with great lyrics. 7) Come over Co-written by P Diddy, we have a slow ballad and it has brilliant guitar instrumentals. J. Lo’... Read review
