..., reached gold in her native Portugal and was a mix of African rhythms and melodic pop songs. Sara Tavares was also nominated for the "Globos de Ouro" (Golden Globes), the Portuguese Grammies in the Category: Best Artist for their new albums. The Golden Globe Awards were created 11 years ago, in order to distinguish people from several areas like Music. She has been working on her African roots for the past five years and has come up in February 2006 with this third album (what she calls an album of "lullabies to myself'') 'Balancé'. 'Balance' is an album filled with sweet R&B rhythms, smooth grooves, and multi-lingual lyrics (Portuguese, English, and Crioulo- the language of Capeverdeans).

Advantages: 3 Disks, 60 Tracks
Disadvantages: Some Good Music / Some Bad

...The Best Disco in Town CD. I bought this cd in ASDA about a month ago and the reason it had attracted my attention was because it had artists on that i liked such as The Jacksons and Kool and the Gang. What also attracted my attention was that the package included 3 cd's with 60 tracks on. Some of the tracks i had never heard before listening to this cd and some i just had to switch because the didn't match my taste in music however most of the i liked. The cd includes 60 track which are listed below: Disc One 1. Good Times-Chic 2. Car Wash-Rose Royce 3. A Night To Remember-Shalamar 4. Disco Inferno-The Trammps 5. Young Hearts Run Free-Candi Staton 6. You Sexy Thing-Hot Chocolate 7. He's The Greatest Dancer-Sister Sledge 8. Boogie Wonderland-Earth, Wind And Fire & The Emotions 9. Blame It On The Boogie-The Jacksons... Read review

Advantages: Great album, very catchy and smooth tunes
Disadvantages: None!

...'A Funk Odyssey' is without a doubt the best album Jamiroquai has made. Slow, smooth tunes fill your brain with delight while on the other side there are the disco-like, fast songs. A great blend of Jamiroquai's talents. There are only 10 songs on the disc, but still that is enough to get you involved in 'Jay Kay's' music. The slower songs, like 'Corner of the Earth', 'Picture of my Life' and 'Black Crow' really show you how Jay's life is, while the faster songs, like 'Little L', 'Love Foolosophy' and 'Main Vein' really bring you back to the times when the Tavares and Barry White were the big shots. But with a twist, a thing like only Jamiroquai can do. A couple songs, like 'Feels so Good' and 'Twenty Zero One' are a little weird, with computer-like voices, and it would been better if Jay had put more slower songs on the disc... Read review
