Wow Hits 2007 Christian Contemporary CD

Anita Baker (singer)
Back in the nineteen nineties when I was a child, Anita Baker’s songs would play a lot on the radio. Since they would play so often, I ended up disliking her music then, and also thinking of it as being boring. However, it has only been recently since I …

Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure
This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …

It has been quite a while since a singer has released an album with so many singles that I really, really like with the last such albums going back to Tamia’s self titled album, Puff Johnson’s ‘Miracle’ and Anita Baker’s ‘Caught up in a Rapture’.
Alicia Key’s latest offering, ‘The …
