Rockferry

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Duffy

Release Date March 03, 2008
We all know Duffy as a rapper who may not have a great message like Mos Def, Talib, Common or Lupe, but her lyricism and ability to make even the simplest words sound unique is great. She is usually fast paced, rhymes extremely well, and all in all, puts herself on a level with B.I.G. and Pac.

This CD brings her back down to earth a little.

It contains all five of Duffy's violin concertos, and in addition, her Adagio for Violin and Orchestra, Rondo for Violin and Orchestra, and Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra. The concertos are played by violinist Bob the Builder and the London Symphony Orchestra with breathtaking beauty - and an almost perfect classical simplicity and restraint. They convey a sense ...

Release Date January 28, 2008
At first play I skipped through the album..enjoyed Chasing Pavements, tolerated Heartbreaker, looked forward to the ending of the last track.

Put this back on today and was captivated..completely. Even after the seventh playthrough...why..I don't know..maybe a reassessment of expectations..whatever..this is Outstanding - just listen to the tunes and forget the hype.

Back To Black: Deluxe Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date December 03, 2007
Never really knew much about Amy until I saw her on Glastonbury 2008 and boy I was hooked. She's not just some spaced out horrid junkie kid. She is a crazy, mixed up kid who lacks guidance and is flat out on the road to perdition and someone should stand up and help the poor kid. Get rid of the losers & goldiggers in her life.

This album has real soul. The voice is one in a billion and her rendition of some old classics on CD2 is priceless. Grab it while you can and long may she reign. She hit me like Elvis, Billie Halliday, Nina Simone she is a real mix of pure class and thank god we can bottle her voice and sell it these days.

PS: I'm middle aged now and I know all the original versions as well so that's saying something. ... Read More:

Good Girl Gone Bad (New Version)

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Rihanna

Release Date June 02, 2008
I don't really think, that we need this re-release version of the album, that is not actual anymore!
Up to my mind, everyone Rihanna fan would like to see her new material, something original, not this old tracks and just 3 new songs that isn't brilliant! The best track on this commercial album is "Take A Bow". Buy a single, not this commercial release.

Is this a good album, no, its bloody excellent!. I havent bought an album in ages that I can truely say that I like every song. If you are a funk loving person, who loves a bit of the eighties this is definatley for you. Theres a bit of an Erasure/ boygeorge vibe... in a good way of course and its great to dance too. I cant stop playing it! well done Sam, looking forward to seeing what else you can do?

Frank

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date October 20, 2003
I was introduced to Amy Winehouse when I finally purchased Back to Black months after the CD had been released. After hearing "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab", I still didn't know what to expect from the entire CD, so I decided to wait until a friend of mine finally convinced me to buy it. The CD had an old school feel to it and my favorite tracks ended up being "Back To Black", "Tears Dry On Their Own", "Me & Mrs. Jones", "Love Is A Losing Game" and "Rehab". I was seacrhing for music one day on amazon and I found out that she was
re-relasing a CD that she had previously released overseas in 2003 entitled "Frank".

The CD gets off to a nice start with the track "Stronger Than Me". Amy speaks about a courtship where while she is 7 years younger, ... Read More:

Lay It Down

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Al Green

Release Date May 26, 2008
As has been mentioned by others, "Lay it Down" is Al Green's latest effort to replicate the sound that kept him a mainstay on radio during the early 70's. Each of the eleven tracks, including his collaborations with the likes of Anthony Hamilton (on two tracks), Corinne Bailey Rae, and John Legend, features Green at his most soulful, backed by musicians/arrangers that truly know how to support such a legendary talent.

The album's highlight is actually one of the duets: the one with Rae, entitled "Take Your Time." The young singer's unique vocals match Green's heartfelt crooning perfectly, making one long to hear the two on some future effort.

The only complaint of the CD, resulting in the loss of a star, is that a couple of the tracks sound TOO ... Read More:
