One In A Million

Director: Darren Grant
Aaliyah tops it out with the sixth and final single and video from her second album, “One In A Million”, titled “The One I Gave My Heart To”. This song is a love ballad compared to the others …

Secret Heart performed by Curtis Stigers is a very good to excellent album performed in a male jazz singer style similar to Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble.
My favorite song was the familiar Days of Wine and Roses” that Stigers makes his own by using a more bouncy arrangement …

Lucky Ali is one of the good soulful composer than we have in Indipop world. His debut album Sunoh (which means ‘listen’) is a nice collection of melodic songs. There are songs on different subjects, and all of them have been blended beautifully by soulful melodic music. Ali has …

One of my favorite songs and one I suggested with my friend who was suffering from a break up with her boyfriend. Over it is a song about moving on with confidence. She is trying her man to believe that she can stand up after a fall. This song …

I am a huge fan of and specialist in KMFDM music. I have been listening to them for a very long time. I find their music very original, very special and characteristic to them. They created their own style, and they follow by it. But, on this album, this …

I was getting a bit bored with the selection of CDs I had in my car and, over the weekend, decided to dig through some of them that we had lying around the house and see if there were any I would be interested in listening to while driving …

Overview —“ The Four Horsemen, the second track off of Metallica’s debut record Kill —˜Em All, is actually a song which is written from a much more complex standpoint than the opening track, Hit The Lights, at least in my opinion. I generally don’t associate Kill —˜Em All with …

This song, Because of You by Kelly Clarkson is really sweet and painful to listen to if you are on a heartbreak spree. I wonder how did singer Kelly Clarkson managed to sing such a sweet and if you listen to this song, you could really feel the pain …

I think that If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna is so lame sounding and totally out of tune. I love both of them in terms of their music individually but this collaboration just aren’t them. It made them sounding like they are …

I have been a casual fan of X Ambassadors ever since their sleeper hit “Renegades” started taking off early this year. In fact if you look at the reviews I made for this very site, then you’ll see that I’ve reviewed “Renegades” too. Side note: I still love that …

I really had a difficult time to understand what the first stanza means because I was really baffled on what the singer is trying to tell his audience. But when I played the song again and again, that is what I have understood because I can’t clearly get how …

Come Together would have to be one of the most calming and relaxing Beatles songs which I’ve ever listened to. Driven by Lennon’s vocal delivery which just mixes right in perfectly with the music under him, Come Together is the opening track of Abbey Road and one of the …

I think this is a good video for anybody to watch. It has a great calming feel to it and I think it could be watched many times. I kind of do that myself. I love repeating the video over and over and over again, but I never get …

The Dream —“ Love Me all Summer / Hate Me All Winter
The Dream’s debut album was definitely one of the best albums of the year. The lead single “Shawty is Da S**t” is a cute and playful track which features witty lyrics from Fabolous. The second single, Falsetto, is …

Star Trek - The Next Generation: Original Soundtrack Recordings by Jay Chattaway is a very enjoyable audio CD that contains numerous memorable tracks such as music from “The Inner Light”, one of the show’s most touching and beautiful
episodes, in part because of the flute music. This CD also contains …

Little did I know that so long as 50 years ago, a guy known as Captain Beefheart was out there satirizing the music industry and composing ridiculously respectable tuneage that can only be described as eclectic. Nana insert words here. Other possible terminology includes avant-garde, jazz, blues, and some …

As you visit the E.S. Posthumus website, you are immediately thrown into space with the unforgettable song Nara on their home page. This song is due for a magnanimous review. As you can hear, it is as magnanimous as a song …

Lady Gaga’s newest album, The Fame Monster, is a really good album! I’m mostly into hard rock and classic rock and rarely like pop music, however this CD instantly caught my attention.
It’s not too often that you hear quality pop artists anymore, but Lady Gaga and The Fame …

I spent the whole day listening to 103.5 Qm FM on Friday, January 1, 2010. I had listened to this station before many times, but this date was very special. The DJs were just busy dishing out their top 50 countdowns, which I found quite irresistible at …

The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …

Disintegration/Free Money is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Undisputed Attitude. Like the rest of this record, this song is a cover of a punk band known as Verbal Abuse. To be fair, I didn’t really like this record very much and didn’t think Slayer did …

I must admit that up until somebody aimed me toward this album i had never heard of the band Black Pistol Fire, but now after spending some time with album i am happy to have found it. The closest band i can compare them to would be the White …

Turn Into Something is a song by Animal Collective and the final song to appear on their album Feels. Returning to the sound that was prominent throughout the earlier tracks on the record, Turn Into Something has a far more upbeat sound and tempo in comparison to the previous …

If you do not know who Joe budden is then you probably has been under a rock somewhere. However, you should get to know him because he is one of the best and most under rated rap stars that currently do not have a record label deal. The reason …

This truly is an astonishing debut. Arcade Fire are a group of ten canadian musicians led by Win Butler and his wife Regine. They include amongst their ranks, pianists, violinist and harp players. Clearly this is not your average rock group and yet when they play live, they invest …

Wake Up Dead is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Peace Sells… But Whose Buying? The track opens up with an extremely aggressive drum rhythm before Mustaine’s guitar comes in along with his vocals which are more of a spoken word section which just sort of …

Overview - Abbey Road, The Beatles’ penultimate effort, is a very nice collection and mix of tracks which compliment each other very nicely - particularly on the second half of the record where transitions from song to song just flow very well. Abbey Road has some of The Beatles’ …

Power Quest have always been a band that i am constantly frustrated with. They always hinted at greatness, but for some reason were never really able to put it all together when needed the most. I’m happy to report though that with this new album Blood Alliance, all the …

Here I Go is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his first solo record, The Madcap Laughs. The song starts off with some simple guitar chords which Barrett sings over in somewhat of a gloomy manner, but still retaining that sort of lighthearted feel from Barrett. Once …

I am a hip hop artist who used to sing secular hip hop. I used to sing about the type of life I lived, which was a life of partying, sex, relentless pursuit of fast money, anger, pride and any other sinful thing you could think about. Until I …

“Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera is an amazing song with the singer’s powerful voice and positive lyrics. The song made a huge impact on me the very first time I’ve heard it several years ago. It was such a big success and a big hit, playing often on different …

DDevil is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their self-titled debut record. DDevil starts off with an interesting bass line accompanied by a drum rhythm which goes on for a bit of time before the song transitions into a much heavier section thanks to the …

The CD The Beatles 1 is a compilation of 17 of the Beatles’ hit singles. With about 80 minutes of music, and only the good songs, this was a great value for the money. Beatles music is something that I never get tired of, and …

The Album believe by Justin Bieber was the turning point in his career. This album was intended to show the singer leaving his childhood, sweet school romance styled music behind, and into a life of a teen/adult. Though many people were unsure this would work, I have to Personally …

This is the deepest song Sugarland has ever come out with. And I say this because it reminds me of the relationship with me and mother and me trying to grow up too quickly. I live four hours away from my mother and it makes me wish that I …

Since her first single Get the Party Started, I started to become a huge fan of Pink. I love her style, her body, attitude and performance. Actually of her songs are worth listening and even her videos are worth watching. Just like this song I am about to review …

Taylor Swift has done it again, with her Speak Now single. It is so amazing to listen to it. It is emotional yet funny. I can sense a genuine sincerity in her voice as she sings this song. The artist is known for spilling her …

Obscured By Clouds is the title track of a record released by Pink Floyd. I should first mention that this song is an instrumental from start to finish so if you aren’t one for instrumentals, particularly slower paced ones, then this wouldn’t be a track that you would really …

This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …

As of October 9th I am a proud owner of my favorite band, All Time Low’s, new album called Don’t Panic. I was wary when I first listened to the new CD for several reasons. They are back on a small label, this was …

Christian Bautista is a famous singer here in the Philippines. He was discovered when he joined Star in a Million here in the country. He was just a runner up but he’s as popular as the grand champion. I’m a great fan of this singer. Not that I would …

I was waiting for you release by Tom Waits for a very long time. And I was very happy when it finally came. I really did not believe that Tom Waits is going to release another album and you can imagine how surprised and pleasantly surprised in the first …

“Quick and to the Pointless” is the seventh track off of Queens of the Stone Age album “Rated R”. The song is incredibly short and in a sense kind of lives up to it’s title. By no means is this song even close to being a single off of …

P. Diddy ft. Black Rob and Mark Curry
“Bad Boy For Life”
The Saga Continues…
Bad Boy Entertainment
It was made apparent from the previous “Let’s Get It” and the current “Bad Boy For Life” music videos that P. Diddy had come back strong, stronger than ever. “Bad Boy For LIfe” is the …

When I was younger, I used to love to listen to the group Motley Crue (something that actually came as a surprise to my wife). So, when I saw their Greatest Hits CD on sale at Shopko, I had to buy it.
So far, I’m happy with my purchase. While …

Start Wearing Purple is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their debut record Voi-La Intruder. I should mention immediately that this track was re-recorded by the band on a later record, but I’m reviewing the version that appears on their debut record. Opening up with an accordion …

At the time when I first listened to this record I was not impressed by it. The problem there was that by then I had already been rather closely familiar with the Nine Inch Nails albums The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. And compared to those albums, this album …

This is an okay CD, but it was greatly disappointing in light of Ill Nino’s previous release Revolution/Revolucion. Their first effort was a seamless mix of hard rock and Spanish rhythms. But for this CD, they left most of their Latin flavor behind in favor of generic …

Faith Hill, beautiful wife of Tim Mcgraw and loving mother is also an amazing singer with a beautiful voice. She is gifted in more ways that any person has a right to be and she has what appears to be a lifelong marriage to her husband who is also …
