Moonlight Sound Design - Moonlight Sound Design

Advantages: Some great pop tracks
Disadvantages: Some limp cover versions

.... There's a bit of a dance-pop influence, but it's still an up tempo pop number designed to get your feet tapping and it does what it promises. There's another new track up next. "Money" starts off as another techno-pop influenced track, but then there's a almost Latin influenced brass section which makes it sound more like something Basement Jaxx have done ("Do Your Thing" comes especially to mind). However, it does slow down in parts and, a little like "Biology", it doesn't always feel like all the parts here were designed to go into the same song. Given that Girls Aloud have produced some wonderful original tracks along side some rather disappointing cover versions, it's a shame that the album should finish with the latter. "I Think We're Alone Now" should work quite well, as it was a 1980s straight pop tune. However, Girls Aloud try... Read review

Disadvantages: some mediocre songs esprciall "It's All About"

His voice is powerful, soulful and just sends shivers down my spine. When I heard he was releasing the album he has always dreamed of recording backed with a stunning live performance on Jonathan Ross's Saturday morning radio show I decided to buy the album "Moonlight Over Memphis". Marti describes "Moonlight Over... Read review

Advantages: Better than most reality tv pop
Disadvantages: Too many songs

...they wore in one of their videos. No doubt designed to appeal to boys, as no girls would EVER want to look like that, because they look like theyre wrapped in bacofoil. The tracks are as follows: 1. Sound of the underground The 1st single and xmas number one, this a cool rnb pop number with a cool twangy guitar sound running through the background. As with most of their songs, they all get a go at the vocals in turn, some more than others because lets face it, nadine can sing and the rest of them cant. The lyrics are meaningless club lyrics, but this is pretty cool nonetheless. 2. No good advice An eighties pop style that more than rips off 'My sharona' and is one of the best songs on the album. Nadine sings really well, her voice is powerful and cheryl gives some good attitude. This is cool, rebellious and very different to the first... Read review
