Lost in Music

Advantages: Great songs, funky bass, great voices
Disadvantages: none

...my all-time favourite groups, and We Are Family is one of the most played CD’s in my collection. They have great voices, and I think that this album is definitely a classic. There were four sisters in the group: Debbie, Joni, Kim and Kathy Sledge. They all share lead vocals and harmonies, but really Kathy was the main lead in the group, and was also the youngest member of the group, she was 19 when this album was recorded. This album is written ...
...glad that I’m alive, together we will survive, what do you think bought the sun out today? It’s my baby that’s what I say’ 5. ‘We Are Family’ This song is my favourite song on the album, and one of my favourite songs of all time. I realise it’s not got the complexity or the meaning of a Paul Simon or John Lennon song, but heck, who cares? It makes me want to get up and shake my booty! I think this song has ...

These Are The Good Times?

Advantages: Lots of variety
Disadvantages: Not all the tracks make an impact

Chic released “Risqué” in 1979 as their third album. It saw the New York based (primarily) Disco-playing band come up with material which found them getting into not only this type of work but addition to it, some much deeper styles such as Soul and Funk in order to get some appeal from listeners other than those who had been into earlier music from them. 1. “Good Times” The album begins with a single which was probably the most well-known work to ...
...which went on to act as the foundation to not only Hip Hop (going on to be sampled in “Rapper’s Delight” and many subsequent tunes from similar East Coasters), but also for the Rock world as it acted as a bridge in order to allow more of the Funk sounds to reach out to other fields (as was seen in Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust”). **Five Stars** 2. “A Warm Summer Night” In a big change to what you got in the opening eight minutes of Funk, you ...

...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
