Frank

by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date October 20, 2003
I've been a Amy fan since the start, so maybe i'm a bit biased when I say I prefer her debut album to her current one (which is still very good) but I always find myself listening to this album over her current one. I just think it's a bit more raw and authentic (and therefore maybe won't appeal to mainstream music fans as much?) and it really comes through on the album..defo a more jazzy vibe but I love it and it suits her vocals really well :) I did buy her new album which i also think it's brilliant but this is still my personal preference!

Amy Winehouse I Told You I Was Trouble Amy Winehouse Live in London [2007]

by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date November 05, 2007
The problems in her life are evident in this performance. Amy Winehouse is an outstanding talent as can be witnessed in the documentary segment on the DVD. In the main concert she is either high or pi$$ed or both and although musically it is fine, she is clearly struggling with her voice and relating to the audience. The quality of the songs really carry the performance.
The person in the documentary is a different performer completely. That Any Winehouse is vibrant, energetic and in great voice. Sadly she appears to have since deteriorated more and unless she takes a different road is heading for tragedy.

Valerie

by: Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse

Release Date October 15, 2007
Hearing this double act for the first time was commensurate to me with hearing I Get Around or I Feel Fine for the first time,swathes of vocal beauty matched with best Motown track that Carol Kaye et al never played on,everything on this disc reeks of Sixties RnB majesty,everything is perfectly arranged and executed,not a single note is wasted,within four bars Valerie becomes the song it was always meant to be,after hearing Ronson re invent Sail On Sailor on the Electric Proms,Ifound myself thinking to myself what I'd always felt was an impossibility,that being that anyone could produce a Wilson song better than the great man or his lil' brother,there seem to be no limitis to Ronsons talent,his rosta of artists on his cd harken back to Phillies greatest hours and ...

19

by: Adele

Release Date January 28, 2008
Having now heard her album, to compare her to Lily Allen is a travesty. Adele is far better, her smooth voice and song writing skill for starters...

And whilst we're on the subject of comparisons, there's only one similarity to Amy Winehouse - and that is I love both of their albums, when my expectations were low.

Daydreamer: A chilled, melodic start to her debut album, but on first listen you kinda want to skip it to speed up your new listening experience. This is definitely one of those tracks you have to listen to a few times. Vocally she is very good.

Best For Last: Sounds quite bluesy, simple yet effective guitar backing throughout the beginning. Then the song gets going, catchy, warming and just simply easy to listen to. ... Read More:

Frank (Deluxe)

by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date May 12, 2008
Plenty of others have written helpful summaries of the original album 'Frank', so my contribution is to provide a review of the new 'Super Deluxe Edition', packaged as a box set with a new 17-track bonus disc of 'previously unreleased radio sessions, rare demos and mixes'. This new edition is no doubt aimed mainly at dedicated fans, who will already own the album itself; the problem is that dedicated fans will also already own most of the 'rare' songs included here.

Of the tracks featured on the bonus disc, only a handful are genuinely 'new', and all but one have been heard before in some form. Admittedly, that one unheard song - a cover of the Gershwin classic 'Someone to Watch Over Me' - is absolutely gorgeous, truly sounding like it could be a lost 1930s jazz ... Read More:

We brought this albumn after hearing the Sure advert song, Upside Down, and were very impressed with the whole albumn. The second half of it for me is the best.
Would defintiely recommend this and look forward to future albumns by Gabriella.

Hard Candy

by: Madonna

Release Date April 28, 2008
Having generally skipped most of her albums since "Ray of Light" the 'new' image and musical direction shown on "4 Minutes" did little to make me want to buy this on initial release. However as a fan of older style Maddie tracks "Give It To Me" and the less dated "Miles Away" tipped the balance in the end.

The problem wth an album like this is it isn't going to impress genuine R'N'B or Rap fans, and neither is it going to satisfy the fans who want a follow-up to the dance-pop of "Confessions". So give her her due, she decided to straddle the genres and see what happened!

There are some good tracks on here, but there are also some painfully overlong ones and bouts of very lazy lyrics (something more apparent in recent albums). Starting with the downside(s): ... Read More:

Maximum Amy Winehouse

by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date January 01, 2007
Amy Winehouse is a colourful character with a colourful life, and that's what makes listening to her story so appealing for me. I am a huge fan of her music and of her as a person, the biography is packed with information about her and how she got to where she is today, going in depth on a range of subjects relating to her life and her music. If you're a fan of the woman then I gurantee you'll enjoy this.

Shine

by: Estelle

Release Date March 31, 2008
Estelle has a good voice no doubt about it and American Boy is one of the songs of the summer. Sadly, such elements have failed to contribute to a memorable album which feels like a rushed cash in with production values so tired, you can ever hear them yawn!

American Boy sounded really fresh with a brilliant use of horns but the rest of the album is just derivative R&B that could have been produced by any female artist within the genre. Estelle struggles to stamp her own identity on any of the tracks and she just sounds like a vocalist singing someone else's work. Generally there is little passion and soul in this, I found myself barely noticing any differences between tracks. As a result, it feels more like lounge music than anything else.

There are highlights ... Read More:
