Come, Come, My Voice

Advantages: A brilliant, brilliant, reunion album. The Bangles are bang on target
Disadvantages: None

...order (and my assessment of each track out of five) is as follows. *1. Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution) ***** 3:57 Written by Elvis Costello Main Voice: SUSANNA After a rather regal English voice declares that “One must tear off one’s own head” Susanna launches into this fierce paced rocker. Her immediate and irresistible appeal must be that husky, little girl, come-to-bed voice surrounded by but not dominated by the wall of sound. There is more than a hint of the violent innocent about this one. The tune of the chorus is easy to pick up and once hooked you’ll be tempted to put this track on repeat play. At times it suggests Helen Reddy’s old song “Angie Baby”. “You can pull and pinch him 'til he cries and squeals You can twist his body 'til it faces backwards. Plastic features. You could make somebody a pretty little... Read review

Advantages: Strong catchy choruses and exceptional vocals
Disadvantages: A lack of lyrical intelligence

...Having formed in 2001 under the name 'No Way Out', the band have come a long way in their years and still they only have an average age of 20. The band actually headlined the Ernie Ball stage for the entirety of the US Warped Tour in the Summer of 2005, and later that year also headlined a tour sponsored by MySpace. With these great achievements as a resultant success of their first album 'The Meaning In The Makeup', it was clear that the band were already causing a massive stir. It was not until last month however that the band would head over these shores, supporting Madina Lake on their tour of the UK. Whilst here in promotion of their recently released sophomore effort 'Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather', My American Heart vowed that they would definitely be returning to the UK at a later date. 'Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather... Read review

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...I’m bragging her or not, but I can’t think of any other female artists out there today that could have done this song justice as I have? There ain’t many of my fellow artists out there that has the strength in my vocals. I knew as soon as read the lyrics, this song was mine. The drums come in from the start and I soon come in with my strong, clear voice and take over from the power of the drum beat, again the beat is evident throughout, and there it stays. I love fast up beat songs, and usually have drums in most of my songs! Although the tempo gets faster on the chorus and the climax of verses there is always this one beat that can be heard throughout. It starts off reasonably fast, and strong but reaches giddy heights of power on the chorus. You’re simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I ever met Ohh, I... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant album, new to the music industry with an angelic but sexy voice
Disadvantages: Not enough songs!!

...What a beautiful voice...her songs, her words comes straight from a true poet. I love this album, from single to these words. Natasha has a way to tell storys from her heart, in a way they mean to be heard. For instance: These words, one of my favourites, is told of her love for her brother (daniel). Natasha had a big mountain to climb to reach her brothers status in the music industry, and to which she has succeded to win over a very large population of all ages. A truly defining voice, capured from the heart of angels, for the population of this world to listen to. I would and will recommend this to anyone who can enjoy a romantic but sexy voice from an up and coming icon.... Read review

Advantages: A good listen which will have you singing along to most tracks
Disadvantages: Some songs are not up to standard

...A brilliant album, one of her best by far. One or two of the songs are not up to standard, but that is the same on most albums. Beyonce is a gorgeous woman who knows how to make her voice and body work fo her. My favourite song on the album is propably Irreplaceable, which i think alot of people can relate to being in that poistion. This is song really makes the best parts of her voice come out without being drowned by loud beats. I think the worst song on the album is Sugar Mama which really makes her sound like a strangled cat. Tha album has a mixture of good and bad songs but is still one of her best albums, she has come a long way since Destinys child.... Read review

Advantages: Strong comeback single
Disadvantages: None

...I was never a Cleopatra fan; most of their music was too weak and poppy to appeal to my tastes. But when they made their comeback this summer, I was struck by the appeal of the track. 'Come & Get Me' is a slow but fiesty R&B number with strong undertones, great beats and vocals, and a really addictive sound. The group's lead singer always had talent but her voice has matured enough to turn their songs into something worthy of a place in the charts. 'Come & Get Me' is a good quality hit and, in my opinion, and excellent comeback track. The girls may not storm the charts any more but they've proved their worth as artists and I'll look forward to seeing how they follow this up.... Read review
