Grace Jones' 1986 Studio Album
Advantages: The funky, I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect For You) Disadvantages: The painfully dated, Victor Should Have Been A Jazz Musican
...and the recording sessions for Inside Story were a little intense. Following on from her Reggae/Funk/Rock/New Wave infused albums such as the excellent Warm Leatherette (1980) and the critically-acclaimed Nightclubbing (1981), Inside Story (1986) divulged Jones into a far more commercial sound. Inside Story was a mixed concoction of Pop/Dance/Funk/R&B with subtle hints of jazz on one particularly awful track, Victor Should Have Been A Jazz Muscian. ... ...The title track, Inside Story, closes the album on a high. With a spiritual and poignant edge, this track does emerge as another of the projects highlights. Not one of her best albums, nor was it a great commercial success though this remains one of her most commercially visible albums. Ian Phillips July 2006 ...

Grace Jones Last Studio Album To Date
Advantages: Some of the tracks ignite Disadvantages: Others are too dated
...Chivilles for the rather disjointed Bulletproof Heart album. Jones co-wrote the majority of songs along with singer Chris Stanley. Bulletproof Heart (1989) like Inside Story (1986) was another foray into mainstream Pop, divulging into Funk, R&B and Dance. The project seemed more of an effort on Jones' part to catapult her back onto the club scene where she had enjoyed immense success in the late 1970's. Opening the album is the funk-driven dance ... ...to be found scattered on Bulletproof Heart. With the jamming affair of Driving Satisfaction, you would think the album would get better from here on but the whole project is something of a mixed affair with some highs and some lows. Another anthem written by Jones and Chris Stanley, Kicked Around, features a ferocious, red-blooded Jones in sado-massachist (and even more freaky than usual) mode as she scowls through this tale of self-esteem, fighting ...

One Of The Best Albums Ever By Usher
Advantages: This Album Is Worth Buying/ Better Than The Rest Disadvantages: None
...songs on this album is Here I Stand. Well, on this album I have many favorite songs. The lyrics are fantastic. Usher's album is a must get. Most of the songs on the album is about relationships/ love. Usher has grown to be one of the best male R&B entertainers alive. 1. Intro 2. Love In This Club featuring Young Jeezy 3. This Ain't Sex 4. Trading Places 5. Moving Mountains 6. What's Your Name featuring will.i.am 7. Prayer For You Interlude 8. Something ... ...featuring Jay Z 11. Before I Met You 12. His Mistakes 13.

Can't Nobody Do X-Mas Like...
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: One weak track
...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ... ...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...

Beyonce's Fierce!
Advantages: Songs , Voice Disadvantages: None!
Recently , I was sorting out my CD collection (putting CDs back into their correct cases etc), when I realised that I had a lot of CDs in my collection which I hadn't already reviewed , and so thought I'd share my reviews on them.
Until this year , although Beyonce has always been a 'big star' , I had never really taken much notice of her. Although , this year , releasing some of the best songs of the year , I realised what a good artist Beyonce ... ...'Halo' , I just had to buy her album.
I Am ...Sasha Fierce is the the third studio album from Beyonce released in the United Kingdom on November 17th 2008. The album comes under the 'RnB' and Pop genres. The album has twelve tracks on it , which are split down onto two different CDs. The first CD represents Beyonce's sweet and 'ballad-y' style , whereas the other CD is taken over by her alter-ego , Sasha Fierce , and contains more attitude bursting ...
