Innervisions

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Stevie Wonder

Release Date May 01, 2000
If you like some classic soul eg Marvin, Curtis, Aretha, Al Green etc then this is an essential purchase. Also if you like the quality end of modern RnB like Alicia Keys or John Legend then this is also essential. There are no bad tracks here. 'Living For The City' is probably the greatest of Stevie's social commentaries. Alot of listeners today don't appreciate how amazing Stevie Wonder was in his prime, I'm too young to have heard him during the 70s and if I hadn't just trusted all the platitudes I probably would never have discovered him!. I just thought of Stevie Wonder as being the guy who did 'I just Called To Say I Love You' but that was the end of the creative period. He's not that visible these days and hopefully his first European ... Read More:

Songs In The Key Of Life

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Stevie Wonder

Release Date May 08, 2000
Have the vinyl. Now got the CD and its still timeless. I have many favourites. Love "I am singing" this sums up stevies life in music.
The song writing is 1st class. in my view far better than Lennon/Mccartney ever were. This guy does the lot himself. This album should be in every collection. best selling double album of all time, i believe. Well justified.

Future Sex / Love Sounds

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Justin Timberlake

Release Date September 11, 2006
I was a bit apprehensive when it came to listening to this CD. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of JT, but I thoroughly enjoyed his previous solo debut CD Justified, which was a very soulful affair. My apprehension came upon hearing the first single from this CD SexyBack, and that the majority of the CD would be produced by Timbaland. Not with standing one or two efforts (namely Cry Me a River which is a great song) I find Timbaland production soul less & cold. Alas that is how I would describe the majority of the songs on offer here. The only redeeming factors for this CD are the cuts:(Another Song) All Over Again , and Losing my Way, which benefits from a string section, & Hezekiah Walker & the Love Fellowship Choir. Very soulful. If only ... Read More:

Roll With You

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Eli 'Paperboy' Reed

Release Date June 23, 2008
Every track on this 11 track album sounds like a lost 60s soul hit, but is in fact an original number. Now i love Stax and Motown records myself and many people are going to argue that Paperboy Reed is not as good as the greats, but i don't think that's the point. This album delivers some totally wicked vocals and some really mean playing, especially from the horn section - I bet the live concerts are an absolute scream. The way i look at it is this; I'm never going to get to see Sam Cooke, James Brown, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye play, but as long as there's people like The Paperboy keeping the sound alive, the spirit of those legends lives on.

Favourite tracks have to include "I'm gonna getcha back" which struts like James Brown, "The ... Read More:

New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) - UK Edition

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Erykah Badu

Release Date March 03, 2008
Not me, and not Erykha Badu! If you want an album of songs that are designed to be radio friendly, then go and buy Mary J Blige's lasy album (or any of them really?). EB ROCKS! Listen to her albums:

Baduizm - totally chilled, laid back grooves, spine tinging stuff
Mama's Gun - Late night funk, sexy, tripping
Worldwide Underground - Get ready to go out with this, summer day, sexy
New Amerykah Part One - Pure hip-hop, sexy, difficult, loud, slightly dangerous, controversial

I can't pick a favourite EB album, as I get more excited and more surprised with every release. This latest didn't dissapoint. After just one listen, I realised that it sounded like nothing I have ever heard before.

I admit, I am not ... Read More:

Still On Top: The Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Van Morrison

Release Date October 22, 2007
This is great! There is not ONE song that isn't worth five stars. I have loved Van Morrison's music since the 60's & this compilation shows just how great a writer & performer he is. He might be a bit of a miserable sod most of the time, but I wasn't inviting him for dinner so that isn't a problem. Add this to your CD collection. You will love it.

Dirty Dancing - Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date December 26, 2005
I watched Dirty Dancing about 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it. I loved the music most of all so bought this soundtrack. But then I noticed Ultimate Dirty Dancing, which is cheaper on Amazon and has all of the songs in Dirty Dancing! This one has about 12. Rubbish.

Mercy

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Duffy

Release Date February 25, 2008
I've listened to this drivel - the record and all the hyped-up reviews of Duffy - and finally I've had enough. It's rubbish. 'You got me beggin', you got me beggin', you got me beggin' ad nauseum. Even dance songs can have good lyrics, it has happened. And enough already of these affected warbling or bellowing, sinus-afflicted girls (Adele's another...) I'm not hearing anything great here. And as for the Dusty comparisons, just just insulting to Dusty's versatility and emotional/vocal dynamic range. For god's sake, Duffy is plain Duff.

The Very Best of Al Green

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Al Green

Release Date March 29, 2004
I brought this album for one purpose and one purpose only 'Let's Stay Together'
I didn't know who sang it because I was an 80's baby raised in the 90's it was before my time, but eventually found out that Al did.
After owning this album 2 months now I have been gripped by Al's presents on the mic, I now have 15 favorite songs on the album, they don't call it greatest hits for nothing!!
I feel so strongly about this album because when ever I hear it, it just makes me feel good, I literally have a smile on my face throughout the album!!
I have an ultimate favorite, but it was hard to pick with great songs like 'Simply Beautiful' 'Sha La La' 'Tired of Being Alone' and 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart' getting in the way, but 'L.O.V.E.' is just ... Read More:
