Minimal - The Sound Of Now - Various Artists

Advantages: A selection of the finest tracks released by big name artists.
Disadvantages: Song styles mixed and varied, but not enough.

...) Now Akon, an artist who had that hit with 'Lonely' and that 'chick' singing along, has a few different tricks up his sleeve, the melody line here is a little awkward, but he really carries it off well. The chorus is simple in comparison to the verses, and the lyrics don't have much of an effect. 6/10 15) Mattafix - Big City Life Not heard of this band before listening to this song.

...42 poptastic tracks on them… Disk one track listing is as follows *1. Duffy - Mercy This is a song of Duffy's debut album that made it straight to number one from the first internet download releases. Her music is said to be similar to the music from Amy Winehouse. Duffy is originally from Wales and became famous from a talent show. *2. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music A catchy very lively song by Rihanna similar to some of her other releases favourite of mine on this album. This song is from Rihanna's album 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. *3. Basshunter - Now You're Gone I had heard this song before I heard it by Basshunter not sure where but it was familiar, a really fast easy to get into song. That has been successful in various countries as well as the UK, I feel it is one of the best songs on this album. *4. Girls Aloud... Read review
