Houston we have no problem!!

Advantages: : Great vocals. Whitney's back
Disadvantages: : One or two weaker tracks

...fan of Whitney Houston as I am I have to admit I was unsure whether she could come back and continue on from her most recent albums. This is her first album in 7 years and there aren't too many bands or solo stars who have come back from that kind of break and had the same artistic value in their music. So does Whitney's comeback seem destined for the bargain bin or could she just come back. **I Look To You** Released on 19th October 2009 and is ...
...Call You Tonight 4 I Look To You 5 Like I Never Left Feat. Akon 6 A Song For You 7 I Didn't Know My Own Strength 8 Worth It 9 For The Lovers 10 I Got You 11 Salute **My View** "Million Dollar Bill" Whitney gets the album underway with this catchy single , which mixes a funky 70's bass hook with her late 80's dance stuff. This is a very decent opening, This track features a sample of Loleatta Holloway's "We're Getting Stronger". "Nothin' But Love" ...

Review of I Look To You - Whitney Houston

Shaft for the millenium

Advantages: Some excellent tracks
Disadvantages: Not as good a sountrack as original

...miserably. In the case of Shaft this was made even more difficult due to the fact that not only the film had become a cult classic but also it's soundtrack had too as a standalone piece of work. The original shaft was made in the early 70's and was the best example of what was known as a blaxploitation movie. These were mainstream feature films that relied on a black audience and black characters, portrayed using all the current clichés in order ...
...Shaft getting soul legend Isaac Hayes to produce the soundtrack extenuated the effect. He produced a classic creating a cool hip brand of street soul that encapsulated the essence of the shaft character. The album is mostly music but one key song 'Theme from Shaft' was a huge hit. The problem that the makers of Shaft 2000 had was to try and recreate not only an updated version of the film but also to create a modern hip street sound to match the ...

Review of Shaft (Original Soundtrack) - Original Soundtrack

It's Whitney Before.... You Know

Advantages: A few big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

The Pop R&B singer Whitney made her debut in 1985 when she released a self-titled record. It is the album that gave her the chance to breakthrough as amongst collaborations with Jermaine Jackson and Teddy Pendergrass, you find that you have her offering hits such as “Greatest Love Of All”, “How Will I Know” and “Saving All My Love For You” that gave her the chance to display her strong, soulful vocals to the masses. 1. “You Give Good Love” The album ...
...this is one that has Whitney blazing out a tune that tops just about any Pop ballad of its time as she puts on a great performance and works with the powerful material she has to come out with a song that doesn’t have any weaknesses to it whatsoever to get to what I consider to be the peaking point of the record. **Five Stars** 10. “Hold Me” The album is brought to a close with this one as she links up with Teddy Pendergrass and with the Soul singer ...

Review of Whitney Houston - Whitney Houston

Constantly Cookin' Classics

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker tracks

“Custom Cars & Cycles” was released in 2009 and came as the debut album from the Triple C's (Carol City Cartel). Lead by Miami's Rick Ross, the Dirty South Rap group, who also include members: Gunplay, Young Breed and Torch (the latter of whom is from the Bronx. Although active for many years, it wasn't until Rick Ross' third album when the group were ready to hold up as a unit that could rely on the support that Ross had gained through his consistent ...
...Floridian drug-based Gangsta Rap material. 1.“Custom Cars & Clips” (Intro) 2.“White Sand” Off a pretty heavy opener, we see that here they kick things into high gear and come up with a heavy jam and one that features the type of lively production (linked into a catchy hook) that gives you the feel of the Dirty South in its peaking 2005-2006 years and so it shows that this crew are attempting to bring those days back as they start from here and get ...
