Enya is an irish singer, best known for singing the theme tune for the premier film 'Gladiator'. She has an amazingly soft yet powerful voice that makes me feel sleepy when listening to her. This is a such a beautiful piece of music. The music in unconsciously consistent the enitre waythrough the song which makes you feel really relaxed and drowsy. The music sort of echo's and I liken it to raindrops. The beat is four beats, the inital beat is slightly ...
...da; da; da' 'DA; da; da; da' The lyrics are heart warming and I said that this was a song I sing to my mum when she is feeling low following an argument with my step-dad. The song is all about the enternity of love, 'Amarantine' being roughly translated as 'Eternity'.

...salsa themed background. There is the well-known hit "Wherever Whenever" with the lovely sound of the holiday-themed pan flutes, and Underneath your clothes- the famous, beautiful ballad. There are many good songs including "The one", where the lyrics are truly amazing and well thought out, to "Rules" and "Ready for the good times." Nearly all of this album is about love, and the problems she experiences. Shakira sings about "The one" and that ...

'Analyse This' is the 2004 from Jamaican born but UK raised London rapper Taz, who moved to the UK at the age of 12. He is currently signed to Def Jam UK, a branch of the US Hip-Hop Heavyweight label Def Jam. From his beginnings as a DJ to his rapping career Taz managed to achieve a lot in a short amount of time, including producing 'Jus a Rascal' for Dizzee Rascal. He has an electric stage presence and a solid rhyme style which in my opinion may ...
...top UK mc's Sway and Dizzee. The Album 1 - Only God Can Judge Me A great song to start the album with, love the production on this one, love the base line, Taz shows off his rapping ability throughout, reflecting on life and the music business, he's a very talented mc, love the following lines which pretty much sum up the UK rap scene - These British A&R's wouldn't know talent if it slapped them in the face, Telling me to sound like Mase, I'm ...

Let the music flow

Advantages: Easy listening
Disadvantages: Spanish lyrics

...1999) I had heard of Buena Vista Social Club for many years but only recently I dug out this treasure and started to appreciate it. Sometime ago I saw the documentary film about Buena Vista Social Club on FilmFour; I was so captured by the music in the film that I ordered the CD album straight away from Internet. Ry Cooder, the producer of the CD, said in the introduction, "In Cuba the music flows like a river. It takes care of you and rebuilds ...
