Justin Timberlake - Can’t Stop the Feeling (2016 Song)
Now let’s not kid ourselves, shall we? Justin Timberlake is basically one of the most recognizable pop star this century. I’m not familiar with most of his work when he was with N’Sync and his pre-2010’s solo work but his comeback this decade is just phenomenal. He is getting …

“I’ll Be Your Sunset” by A Rocket to the Moon
A very techno but soothing song. The vocals aren’t very focused on in here, instead it is more blended into the instrumentals, and it makes the mind serene. This is one of the few songs I approve of the use of auto-tuning, because of how capable of bringing us …
Diana Ross (1976) by Diana Ross
As I was still browsing through my dad’s old records, I also found, amongst my discovery, Diana Ross (1976) by Diana Ross. I checked the value of this CD now, and I was amazed at the $149 price tag. True blue royal record.

This is a good new cd. It is Lenny Kravitz’s newest cd. Compared to Lenny Kravitz’s other cd’s, such as Baptism, and the Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits, this is nothing. With his other cd’s compared to other cd’s he has to many slow songs. By slow, I mean a …

Mer De Noms (A Perfect Circle Album)

System Of A Down - Lost In Hollywood (Song)
Lost In Hollywood, the final track of the first half of System Of A Down’s double record, Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is probably the track on this half of the record which I would consider to be the most powerful. What’s particularly significant about this track is that it really is Daron …
