Golden Time Of Day - Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly

Advantages: songs...lyrics...voice...all brilliant
Disadvantages: none

...Obsession (No Es Amor)...This was his first single and was an excellent choice. This song is smooth and hears great vocals from Frankie. Has a very catchy chorus, a really good song. Good start to the album. The One...This isn't one of my faves, the chorus is quite weak but it does grow on me each time i listen to it. It's quite a catchy track. How To Deal...This track is truly beautiful! Smooth vocals, great lyrics, great beat, very emotional. You will recognize the backbeat from an Usher track. This is, for me, the best track on this album. Without You...Another good track. The beat is amazing and the lyrics are really excellent. His vocals are extremely hot. I love this track. On The Floor...This is a definate club track. Really not my fave for me and i don't think the style suits Frankie. Story Of My Life... Read review

...Green Day are a very famous band to all large music fans. Most of their music is Punk Rock or Grunge but this steps out of line for the better. It starts off with a brilliant sounding guitar playing a chord slowly twice. Then the song really gets going and features a simple acoustic guitar riff and a set of chords that is very easy to play. It includes sets of string instruments and a vocalist that all mixes together very well. Most of Green Day's songs I like and when I saw this I knew that I had to get it. I loved the great sound straight from the start until the end when I decided to put the CD on repeat. Any fan of acoustical music should buy this. If you're put off by Green Day's other songs then bare in mind that this is quite different to what they usually do. This song, Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) is featured... Read review

...1984 turned out to be the year, not of George Orwell, but of… Frankie. You couldn’t avoid all the “Frankie say…” T-shirts. The single “Relax”, banned by the BBC, started it all, shooting to Number 1 in the Charts, staying there for 5 weeks, and it remained in the charts until 48 weeks later. Apart from the hype and the publicity, the song itself is a great piece of explosive music, produced and transformed by Trevor Horn (the song had been kicking around a while before he got his hands on it, and I have heard an earlier version, which was frankly nothing that special). Even though the band insisted it was just a dance song, “Relax” was clearly about gay sex – very threatening in those days. Frankie Goes to Hollywood then released the album “Welcome... Read review
