Tina Tells Of Alien Amour

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...are loved? Track 12 FOREIGN AFFAIR [4.27] [Tony Joe White] Last, but by no means least. This is one of ASIL’s faves on the album. Drum beat with an 18-second intro. The melody is catchy and foot tapping. And me again, slow, gravelly, and powerful. The song isn’t particularly fast paced, but fast enough for me to have a few screeching episodes. Mark Knopfler guests on this track and so you know that the guitar solo will be great, and great it is. ...
...a couple of them. I love working working with Mark, he’s such as great guy, and really knows his strings! Gary Barnacle keeps us fed with the Sax all throughout the verses and giving us extra on the chorus. The lyrics are all about a holiday romance, or maybe, several holiday romances? Or maybe you don’t even have to be on holiday, the lyrics are not only the feelings felt when abroad! A one in a million chance You know the moment you cross over ...

Review of Foreign Affair - Tina Turner

Wild nights, dreamy days.

Advantages: An unusual album.
Disadvantages: Use of orchestration may not be to everyone's taste

...hot. “In Your Wildest Dreams” takes the mood even deeper and oozes sexuality, from a slow throaty “oh baby” which echoes throughout the song the words on this track get you in the mood for love. “The sun goes down And the moon comes out My heart is pumping for you And a real thing starts. Tina teases her way through the song, the music is slow and sensual and the voice of Antonio Banderas singing in Spanish makes this a pure delight. The tempo ...
...your spine. Definitely one to get you in the mood for a passionate night. “Goldeneye “is a theme tune for a James Bond film and Tina pulls out all the stops on this one, her voice on this track has a similar style to Shirley Bassey as her best. Starting low and pulsing with feeling to the dramatic high notes that she does so well, the orchestration just heightens the mood and never drowns her vocals out. “Confidential” at first seemed a weak link, ...

Review of Wildest Dreams - Tina Turner

They're Loco, Bangin', And Fly

Advantages: A couple of good tunes
Disadvantages: Poor in comparison to their debut

TLC’s first return came in 1994 with “CrazySexyCool”; their second album and had trio T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli come with more of their southern style of R&B to boost what they had already come up with on their 1992 debut (which featured them in the New Jack Swing style). 1. “Intro-Lude” 2. “Creep” Starting things here you find that they perform one of the biggest singles from the album. I have to say that I really wasn’t all that into what comes ...
...as it did as it really lack energy, and there’s not really a lot going on with it. All I can appreciate is the well-written lyrics which guide them as they do it here. They sample classic Slick Rock, but it is done in such a subtle way that it almost has no influence upon it whatsoever. **Two Stars** 3. “Kick Your Game” I saw this as the only real banger from the album, and I really can’t see how it can be taken any other way as it find that with ...

How Did We Get From Jamaica To Snowflakes One Song After The Nex?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
