Little Amber Bottles - Blanche

Advantages: great follow up to So Much For The City
Disadvantages: short album, only 10 songs

.... "Let's Bottle Bohemia" is the story of the thrills one year on.... The album opens with an up-beat song "Tell Me Something I Don't Know." The song opens with a rousing guitar rift and then the drums and Conor's vocals all kick in. It's catchy but it distinctly shows how they moved on since "So Much For The City". The song is a great opening, a real attention grabber as it seems to twinged with a little frustration. Best Lyric: "Tell Me Something I Don't Know, Cause these streets aint paved with gold, And vanity won't release me" and another favourite line "Because every town I pass through keeps reminding me of plans we used to share." Quite sentimental! "Whatever Happened To Corey Haim" is the second track and was the first single off the album. It's an upbeat little affair. The lyrics... Read review

...I first came across Sara Bareilles a few months ago while I was looking at my friend's Myspace profile who lives in Los Angeles. I noticed that the song was Love Song by Sara Bareilles. I had never heard of her before but really liked Love Song. She is really well known in America but had not yet made her debut in the UK yet. A few months later, around April time, I heard Love Song on my local radio station. I then realised that her song's were now gracing the shores of the United Kingdom. Little Voice, which is her debut album, was released on 16th June, two months after her first UK single Love Song was released. Love Song has peaked at number 5 in the UK charts up to now and has proved to be a big summer hit. Little Voice has a total of twelve tracks. Love Song This was Sara's first single to be released in the UK... Read review

...Released on 8th October 2007, Chico's 3rd single 'Curvy Cola Bottle Body' is out this week! It's a great, feel-good song with an excellent message. Size 0 really has to go - it's not a good look! I instantly loved it the first time I heard it back in May. The dance tracks are also excellent - I can imagine them being played in all the clubs. Altogether there are 5 tracks on the CD: 1. Curvy Cola Bottle Body (Radio Edit) 2. Curvy Cola Bottle Body (Radio Full Mix) 3. Curvy Cola Bottle Body (Bjams Mix) 4. Curvy Cola Bottle Body (Danny Kirsch Club Mix) 5. Curvy Cola Bottle Body (Danny Kirsch Reggaeton Mix) The best remix, in my opinion, is the Bjams Mix.. it's very upbeat, funky and stands out from the others. The artwork of the cover is perfect in representing what the song is all about, and the bright blue colour gives... Read review
