Review of Keeps Gettin' Better (A Decade Of Hits) - Christina Aguilera

Mari Wilson -The Platinum Collection

Advantages: First time on cd for many tracks
Disadvantages: pastiche agenda limits wider appeal

...do and cod glamour ,"The Platinum Collection" offers a opportunity to show Mari Wilson in a more complimentary light ,being at least as entertaining as her contemporaries of the time like The Belle Stars and the Paul Weller sponsored Tracie!,the obvious nostalgic agenda can irritate after a while but then again this record is not designed for repeated plays merely quick bursts of sunday morning youthful recall. This is the first time on c.d for ...
...re-issue,re package and revision,its taken nearly 25 years for this colection of songs to make their way back into commercial availability,an absolute god send for serious collectors with the early singles "Beat The Beat and "Dancecard "making their debut on compact disc and a definite event for casual buyers of a certain age who had nearly forgotten Miss Wilsons contribution to quality 80,s pop. Longevity alluded Mari Wilson in her initial role ...

Review of Platinum Collection, The - Mari Wilson

Girl Power!

Advantages: Fun, pop
Disadvantages: None

...I am a fan of Greatest Hits album it goes without saying that my favourite album of theirs is Spice Girls Greatest Hits. The album was brought out in 2007/2008 to coincide with their comeback tour of the same time. I went to one of the tour dates at the 02 and thoroughly enjoyed myself, reliving all the songs of my youth! They put on a great show, doing all the classics from the album and really making it a glitzy, sparkly event. This album has sold ...
...their debut and what some consider their signature song, Wannabe. Like I said above this was the one we first heard on holiday way back in 1996 and stood for everything girl power and really shaped the theme and attitude that the band would take. The girls are all very close to their mothers and track number 4, Mama is somewhat of a tribute to them. In the video for their song all the girl’s mothers are featured. In the live comeback show when the ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Spice Girls

It's all about McFly

Advantages: Catchy songs, collection of the singles
Disadvantages: Not all their singles are on this album

...three studio albums and a greatest hits album so far. In 2004, they released their first album 'Room on the 3rd floor' which went straight in at No1 in the UK charts. Their second album 'Wonderland' also went to No1 however the third 'Motion in the ocean' only reached No6. After releasing three albums, they felt it was time to release a Greatest Hits album which sparked rumours that they were about to split up, which was not true...however they ...
...their own record label. This Greatest Hits album is a compilation of most of their singles, including a few new tracks as well. Five Colours In Her Hair - This was the first single that McFly released in 2004. When I first heard it I immediately thought of 'The Beatles', you can tell that they have probably been influenced by them as their style is quite similar to theirs. I always liked this song, it's quite rocky and has some really funny lyrics ...

Review of Greatest Hits - McFly

Pop Personified!

Advantages: Great songs, especially for dancing
Disadvantages: Very 80s. Wait, is that a disadvantage?

Vince Clarke was formerly with Depeche Mode, another band that relied heavily on electronic music, synthesizers and enigmatic types of lyrics. Clarke wanted to journey out from Depeche Mode's darker tendency to a much more pop-oriented and dance-oriented sound of his own. He recruited Andy Bell after auditioning many vocalists to front the band Erasure, and after turning out dance music throughout the 80s and 90s, has become one of the better-known ...
...America, although they did have a string of top 40 hits, some one which made it into the top 10 for brief stints depending upon what Billboard chart you were looking at. Yet at every dance club even to this day you can put on a remix of "Sometime" or "Chains of Love" and the floor will be filled. Maybe one thing Vince Clarke didn't count on, being a straight man, was how identified the group he just created would be with the .. world. Yet it didn't ...
