What can you say about Mariah Carey. She's a phenomenon, hitmaker, actress, producer, songwriter, singer, works with potential hitmakers (e.g. Young Genius on "Joy Ride" from "The Emancipation of Mimi"). She's an amazing female!

The Stoop: Parental Advisory

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Little Jackie

Release Date September 01, 2008
As a 40 something white male, I'm not the demographic for this album, and my normal reaction to the likes of "Troubled Singer" Amy Winehouse, Kate Allen, Lily Nash etc is to flip the off button.

So I was surprised - and pleased - to find that this is a very good album on the whole. Its good points are
1. The Music - though it is full of the currently fashionable horns and 60s soul sound, it doesn't sound contrived or consciously "retro". On the contrary, it sounds very contemporary - the sort of thing that gives "pop" a good name.
2. Singer Imani Coppola has a great voice
3. When the songs work - which is at least 7 of the 11 tracks - they are catchy, full of humour and wry observation.

On the negative side, there ... Read More:

What's Going On

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Marvin Gaye

Release Date January 27, 2003
This album blew my mind when I first heard it 15 years or so ago. From the first to the last this album reaches the pinnacles that other artists just cannot. To think that it is over 30 years old to me it sounds fresher and more vital than most of the bland R&B that is being offered up today. Also it's political message still blows me away.

This album is so good that everyone should own it. Infact if you know someone who doesn't get them a copy. It would count as a genuine act of kindness on your part.

It's just a shame he's not still with us.

Dirty Dancing - Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
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.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Stevie Wonder

Release Date May 01, 2000
This album won't grab you at first. I had it a while before it got under my skin. Just be patient, you will be richly rewarded.

Strongly recommended.

..oh and check the sound quality. This album is nearly 35 years old and it gives plenty of modern recordings a complete pasting.

The Very Best of Marvin Gaye

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Marvin Gaye

Release Date June 18, 1999
You cannot fit all of Marvin's hits on a single CD but this collection has most of the essentials. From a British perspective, one advantage that this has over the double CD (Very best of, which was compiled in America but released in both the UK and USA) is that it includes three UK top ten hits that are not on the double CD, these being Onion song (supposedly with Tammi Terrell, though Tammi was too ill to record the song and a sound-alike substituted), You are everything (with Diana Ross) and Abraham Martin and John (which was an American hit for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, not Marvin Gaye).

There is no room on this CD to explore Marvin's career in depth, but it does contain all his important British hits (some minor hits have been omitted) and on that basis, ... Read More:

Because Of You

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Ne-Yo

Release Date April 30, 2007
As this album is not as i good as his first i am just going 2 tell you what songs are my favourite
Because of you
Crazy
Can we chill
Do you
Addicted
Leaving tonight
Ain't thinking bout you
Sex with my ex
Angel
Make it work
Go on girl
Say it
As you can see most of the songs i like apart from that's what it does. I do really like this album but it is missing a certain something. I can't wait 4 his new album year of the gentleman,i think this album is going to be his best yet. I also felt the same with rihanna's albums, her first album was great but her second one wasn't as good, but her third one was her best. I still feel you need this album in your record collection.

Good Girl Gone Bad

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Rihanna

Release Date June 04, 2007
Is this what passes for talent these days?
I am so sick and tired of hearing girls only just out of school going on about how life and love has been so unfair to them, and to top it all off, she sings it all in a whiney nasal voice (thanks to the other people who commented on this too..xx).
What is it with all the angst and emotional turmoil that seems to be ripping our eardrums apart these days? Am I missing something, but I thought music was supposed to be uplifting, not whiney and suicidal.
Rhianna....do your songs a favour....get someone else to sing them, either that, or blow your nose girl!!!!

Hotter Than July

CD-Charts > Music > Soul
by: Stevie Wonder

Release Date May 08, 2000
Hotter than July, is never really acknowledged, in despite of the achievements that Wonder managed to do with it. The album was the best selling of his career to that point and Dr Martin Luther King Jr was granted a national holiday on 26th January 1986 after his plea in the song "Happy Birthday"

Wonder promotes diversity, peace (Master Jammin'-a tribute to Bob Marley's reggae style); anger ("I ain't gonna stand for it"); politics ("Cash in your hand"), love ("All i do" and "Rocket Love") and influence ("Happy Birthday"- the song now even appears in real birthday cards, despite being written as a tribute to the civic rights work by Dr Martin Luther King Jr.)
