Very Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: The Platters

Release Date April 28, 2008
This latest TV advertised set has 20 tracks from the America's first soul group. All the original 50's well known songs are included, except for "You'll Never, Never Know (I Care)". Have they included "You'll Never Know", which is a different tune entirely, by mistake ? However, it's the oddities that make this compilation so intriguing. If you buy the album for Tony Williams smooth lead vocals, you will not be disappointed by the hits and versions of standards like "September In The Rain" and you might even be pleasantly surprised by rare tracks like "I Don't Know Why", presumably with Zola Taylor on lead. Is it a different male lead on "Temptation" and "You've Changed" ? Nevertheless, they are fine cuts. I would have preferred if the version ... Read More:

Tales from the Beach

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Incognito

Release Date May 05, 2008
On first listen I was bit disappointed - but I kept at it, and sure enough the grooves started to register, and in time nearly every track was etched on my brain. Really a very strong album indeed - not quite 5 star as there a one or two weaker tracks - but overall a cracker. "Love, Joy and Understanding" is an absolute stand out. A real return to form - right up there with the superb "Eleven".

Jordin Sparks

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Jordin Sparks

Release Date April 14, 2008
This album is such a good buy, because of the mixture of songs on it, but at the same time has a mainstream vibe running through every one-the songs on the album are extremely well written and produced and it seems to me that time and money have been thrown at this album and with the talented Jordin Sparks at the helm it has been an utter success:

1.Tattoo-Catchy and definitely mainstream pop; not the best song on the album, but it is a great opener. 9/10
2.One Step At A Time-Has an R&B flavour to it and a great beat. 8/10
3.No Air-An ansolutely fantastic song-I'm no fan of duets, but this is outstanding vocally and lyrically. 10/10
4.Freeze-This song adds yet another dimension to the albuma kinda electronified ballad; its ... Read More:

Good Girl Gone Bad

by: Rihanna

Release Date June 04, 2007
For me, Rihanna is one of the best artists around. I have been to see her live and she is a very good preformer. Good Girl Gone Bad is the best album so far by Rihanna. Umbrella and Good Girl Gone Bad being the best tracks. I would recommend people to go and buy it.

Crayons

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Donna Summer

Release Date June 23, 2008
A stunning release from Donna - we have been waiting so long for this and she doesnt dissapoint. The songs cover a wide range of musical styles and show Donna at her versatile best. I cant stop playing it, there are some stand-out songs for me, all are excellent but these are just more so. The title track just makes you want to sing along and the Queen is Back echoes what all fans feel and includes some tongue-in-cheek references to previous hits. Stamp your Feet and I'm A Fire are thumping disco-style hits for the 21st century. All in all we fans couldnt have asked for better from the Diva.

The Hard Way

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: James Hunter

Release Date May 05, 2008
Back in the 80s James was the acceptable face of blues as far as the NME was concerned, operating as Howling Wilf and the Veejays. That outfit was much more Chicago Blues orientated. I still have some of the vinyl and its great. Over the years though he has tilted more towards classic soul. His last album , People Gonna Talk, really nailed it. Fabulous songwriting, vocals like Sam Cooke, guitar like Howling Wolf's sideman Hubert Sumlin, lush horn riffage reminiscent of early James Brown, slabs of funky hammond. It was a terrific record and I'm surprised it didn't make him a household name. This follow up has if anything even stronger songwriting. Really tight pop soul numbers. The band sounds similar, with perhaps the addition of more strings along the way. I'd add the Drifters to the list of ... Read More:
