King Of Pop - Michael Jackson

Advantages: Great songs, enjoyable listening
Disadvantages: Many songs are not featured on the album

...did not quite got to number one when it was released and therefore it isn't on the album. There are many other songs that are not on this album but may be on another Michael Jackson album like his some of the songs recorded by the Jackson Five and other hits by the artist that didn't get to the top of the charts. ...

Review of Number Ones - Michael Jackson

what a voice!!

Advantages: just plain old good music
Disadvantages: as long as you like anastacia - you'll love it

This woman has to have one of the best voices Ive heard in years - a favourite of various other celebrities - including micheal jackson, president bush etc. So you could say she appeals to people of every walk of life. Regardless of whether or not you like (i say broadly)"this kind of music" - there is a definate confidence about anastacia's voice. This my favourite of anastacias albums - purely because of the songs and their lyrics. This is ...
...you get it - then you forget you've got it - until you hear one of the songs. The trigger song for me is her new release with Ben Moody - excellent song - excellent showcase for two brilliant voices. Girls - this is one to put on when ur doing the housework - its definately a sing a long Guys - this will be a winner if your woman(or you) likes a woman with a strong, emotive voice! ...

Review of Freak Of Nature - Anastacia (R&B)

No Frogs Here

Advantages: Superlative dance music classic
Disadvantages: One or two slightly weaker tracks

There have been so many dance acts over the last ten years, I find it hard to remember any of them. In fact, dance music is so risible nowadays, clubs like Ministry and the Ibiza super-clubs must have a hard time filling their dancefloors. I mean who's going to be dancing to that damn-awful stupid frog song? Please tell me it's not you … Anyway, there have been or two notable exceptions, and Faithless, with their infectious brand of catchy riffs, ...
...have released consistently good tunes. So when I saw the advert's for this CD, I knew I had to have it. Father's day arrives and my lovely daughter buys it for me. Woo hoo. A little background … Faithless consists of three main protagonists; Sister Bliss, Maxi Jazz and Rollo. Cool names huh? Sis' provides all the keyboards while Maxi brings along his unique lyrical and rap style and Rollo writes and produces. Sister Bliss is a well known DJ on ...

Review of Forever Faithless (The Greatest Hits) - Faithless

Want To Be Lifted? Try Elsewhere

Advantages: Some big tunes
Disadvantages: A few weaker tracks

...signee, he was able to get the then-up-and-coming star Kanye West to work on much of it to help produce a highly successful first release; which it was. 1. "Prelude" (Intro) 2. "Let's Get Lifted" Getting things going; you get a tune which has obvious got Kanye's production added to t, however apart from the great composition, it is a pretty weak one and doesn't have much going for it as Legend sings in a nice way, but doens't do what he aims to with ...
...a relationship. You just can't get any better than this. The mix of Hip Hop, Gospel and R&B is what makes it so good, and well-executed. **Five Stars** 4. "Alright" You have some funky productiuon in this one, and it changes everything up as you feel a strong contrast from pretty much the whole album in this one. On this one he seems like he is in tune with the traits of the modern R&B scene (which 0ften isn't whilst doing the more traditional Soul). ...

Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1)

Are you gonna go his way?

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...singles and album cuts from Lenny Kravitz, an American singer-singwriter-musician who's big in the States but still mostly remembered over here for Are You Gonna Go My Way, a stonking hit single in 1993 and Fly Away, which reached no 1 with the help of a car ad (where have I heard that one before?) I personally don't know anyone who'd buy all his albums, but this CD hoovers up stuff from his first five releases and serves as a good introduction to ...
...at the time too, Lenny getting name-checked by heavyweights like Guns & Roses and Aerosmith. Let Love Rule itself is all rising horns (ooer missus) and massed choruses, whilst Mr Cab Driver has Kravitz dissing the man who "don't like dreads, he thinks we're all crooks". Anyone who's heard Kiss' "Firehouse" will recognise the bassline......it's a rip!! E-C-G-C-G....... selections from Mama Said (1991); It Ain't Over Till It's Over / Always On The ...
