I first listened to some of Brian McKnight's tracks on the late night RnB show on radio and was intrigued by his smooth voice and great vocals with his ability to hit high notes in some of his most popular tracks like 'Love of My Life' which has to be one of his best signature tracks so far.. I did not hesitate to add this album to my collection of RnB albums, it is a lovely chilled out album with RnB & Soul tracks which is great to relax to and ...
...popular tracks on this album, 'Still' is my favourite track out of them all. I love the lyrics, the slow theme of the song and the way he sings it with such passion and emotion. Back to the lyrics 'I still think about you, I still dream about you, I still want you and need you by my side, I'm still mad about you, all I ever wanted was you, you're still the one...' They're strong lyrics and make this such a catchy tune many relate to and love. The ... Read review

Ever since 'Through the Wire' hip hop star, Kanye West burst on to the scene in 2003, I feel he has done his job every single time it has came out to putting out a new record. Especially if his job is to split opinion on him as much as possible, as ever since he used the Ku Klux Klan imagery in 'Jesus Walks' to samply Daft Punk on his biggest hit -- 'Stronger' -- this guy has had us talking, or singing his tracks. '808s & Heartbreak' comes as Kanye's ...
...a year that has seen the loss of his mother and the breakdown of his relationship, this shall be the album to divide us all the most. '808s' has already had Rolling Stone magazine referring to Kanye as an emo that has always hid it well is just a snippet of evidence for everything I have said so far. Does that make me emo? *01, Say You Will (6.14), 1* *02, Welcome to Heartbreak ft. Kid Cudi (4.24), 3* Releasing an album just 14-months after the ... Read review

...clasic rock, but even my very close friends don't seem to understand how far my taste goes. I have always loved every type of metal and some rap and dance but it is only recently when i discovered the wonders of 70's Soul and funk. The first time i heard Al Green was on Pulp Fiction with the song "Let's stay together". I loved the song from the first time i heard it but never looked into it until i bought the movie soundtrack, since then i have been ...
...This CD is also available very cheaply so there is no reason not to purchase it. If you havn't heard any Al Green then check him out on the youtube link at the bottom of this review, i would be surpsrised to hear from anyone that doesn't enjoy it. It's a very soft CD and is perfect to lie back and listen to if you want to relax. To conlude, it's a great collection and i would reccomend it to all. Track Listing 1. Let's Stay Together 2. Sha ...

This 1986 cut is the third album from the Hollis, New York Hip Hop trio, Run-D.M.C.. This is one of their most well-known albums as they broke boundaries with their collaboration alongside Aerosmith on this record to reinforce the fact that they were trailling the Rap Rock movement, which has reemmerged recently. 1. "Peter Piper" I have to say that this is my favourite D.M.C. tracks, and not many old-school Hip Hop jams can live-up to the quality ...
...the music snippets can be heard elsewhere from tracks from Missy Elliot and a track which had Mr. Reds and DJ Skribble collaborate in "Everybody Come On". From the title you may be wndering what the track is actually about, but as sooon as you get into it, you hear that they are rapping to various nursery rhymes in a very effective form. The samples used makes this perfect for breaking and this is what gives the rap such an appeal to myself. **Five ... Read review
