Review of Damage - Kosheen

Please don't give up on him

Advantages: The voice
Disadvantages: None

...Solomon Burke and this album Don't Give Up On Me. A diverse range of artists wrote songs for this album including the likes of Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello aswell as the album's producer Joe Henry who wrote the song "Flesh and Blood". Some well known songwriters there but will the album work well or not. well here are my thoughts. **Don't Give Up On Me** 1 Don't Give Up On Me This is a superb track to start ...
...the album and Burke's voice drips with emotion. The subject of this song is about pleading with a partner to give you a second chance to show you much you love them. A wonderful song sung incredibly. 2 Fast Train This is a mix of bluesy soul and country which if you know anything about Solomon Burke you will know that he is well known for this kind of song. To me this song is about taking a moment to look at your life or relationship and realising ...

Review of Don't Give Up On Me - Solomon Burke

Who Says Cube Fell Off?

Advantages: Consistent quality
Disadvantages: One weak track

"Raw Footage" is the eighth solo album from one of the founding members of N.W.A, Ice Cube. Cube came into the game in the late eighties as part of the rise of Gangsta Rap movement, which was spawned from the exposure of Hip Hop over in LA, and since they had to relate it to their street life, the gangsta lifestyle became part of their music. With Ice-T, MC Ren and Dr. Dre, they managed to get this unique sound of the West Coast up, and it is now ...
...Since its peak in the mid-ninties, the West Coast scene has died down, so it could have been difficult for Cube to come up with something for the listeners of now. Despite the fact that he has made acting his main career path, he has continued to bring out new releases, but the last one, "Laugh Now, Cry Later" (which came out in 2006) sounded as if he had lost the flow which he had in his early days, since he took an extended break from the game, ...

Catch Me If, You Can - An Album Worth Buying?

Advantages: 17 Tracks worth £9, Different Genres, Range of Artists featured
Disadvantages: The Album Cover needed a little improvement

...London born artist Bashy, then Catch Me, If You Can is the Album made for you. However if your not into UK Music at all, but just enjoy general Rap, Electro and other up-tempo genres, then this album is also for you! No matter what part of the planet your from, or even the part of the UK your from, Bashy's newest album is an album that should get the UK Music scene more recognition and respect not only from what rapper Bashy (real name Ashley Thomas) ...
...what the artist has done to actually create his music, promote his image and sound and also graft to get the golden album that his needed. Tracks from the album which feature a whole-load of guests, which include: N-Dubz, Wretch 32, Jamelia and many more, with the support of gigantic producers such as Attacca Pesante, Toddla T and Naughty Boy to help manage the album, what could go wrong? Weirdly enough it can't, its an album that you won't be skipping ...
