Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Pop R
by: Luther Vandross

Release Date September 08, 1997
I felt driven to write a review of this superb album here after reading the bizarrely ambiguously two-starred one before me. I miss Luther in the same way as I miss Marvin, both of whom, in my opinion, came from some higher plain to visit us and leave something that would make our lives better.
The effortless way in which Luther Vandross delivers a song can leave you breathless just witness the opening track Love the One You're With and Killing Me Softly ( with his song).
this is not just one artist's interpretation of other people's songs these are chosen and obviously the songs all mean something very special to Luther. This album could very well become a desert island disc.

#1s

CD-Charts > Music > Pop R
by: Destiny's Child

Release Date October 24, 2005
For the first few years of the 21st century, Destiny's Child ruled the roost in terms of pop music. Their touch was golden, and pretty much everything they released was extremely successful in the UK or the USA, or both.

Listening to this collection, it's not difficult to know why. Their competence in carrying off great pop hooks is considerable, and their vocals are way better than those of people in so-called 'credible' Indie bands. Vocals should actually count for something, and by God can Beyonce Knowles carry a note.

Great pop music is all over this album, from the memorable 'Bills, Bills, Bills', to the utterly anthemic 'Independent Woman' and the similarly anthemic 'Survivor'. This was where Destiny's Child were ... Read More:

Life

CD-Charts > Music > Pop R
by: Simply Red

Release Date October 09, 1995
Hello

Simply Red changed after the Stars album, not rapidly but they did change. Life is an album with so many different music genres, bit of R+B bit of Soul bit of Pop Bit Of Rock, And alot of Good Reggae.

You CANNOT class Simply Red into a genre its impossible, you cannot label them one genre.

Right back to Life, Life had to be a good album to follow Stars and it was. Pure class.

My favourite song is Hillside Avenue you can’t deny how good that song is. Simply Red only has one number 1 in this country. Just goes to show you, how rubbish the music industry is at this time.

It’s so easy to listen to, you can sort of relate to each song. Mick is clearly not just righting perky 3 minute ... Read More:

It's Only Love

CD-Charts > Music > Pop R
by: Simply Red

Release Date November 30, 2000
Simply Red started out as one of the most promising soul bands Britain had ever given birth to with 'Holding Back The Years' back in the mid eighties. Most critics would have agreed that only a band like Simply Red could even contemplate doing justice to an old classic like 'Every Time We Say Goodbye'. In recent years they have joined the dance music bandwagon and lost the pop melodies and soul that characterised their early music. 'It's Only Love' gives us an opportunity to listen to their remarkable decline for the first time on one album. From touching melodies like 'Holding Back The Years' (a song made even more beautiful on discovering it was written about the years Hucknall did not see his mother) and the respectful cover of 'Every Time We Say Goodbye' to empty, ...

2001-2005 was Mariah's most underrated period, and sadly this album joins it. This is a back to basics album, with hip-hop sensibilities, this is not 2 stars as allmusicguide said it was!

Confessions

CD-Charts > Music > Pop R
by: Usher

Release Date March 22, 2004
The album has an amzing blend of rhythm and is extremly well put together! Yeah it certainly has the edge and will make u want to listen to it more and more and will have you singing your heart out. 'Yeah' - with Ludacris, still undoubtedly the number 1 choon on the album. And if you buy the special edition copy u even get the amazing duet with Alicia Keys. A must have for any music lover.
