‘Family Affairs’ is my favorite song from Mary j Blidge. I still remember that I bought the cassete about in 2000 but I still play that song until now. For me, Its not sounds like an old song, even its sounds always new to me.
We all know that Mary …

Imagine Frank Sinatra being reborn as a college boy in the 21st century, and you will have a fair picture of what singer Michael Buble is all about. I think he has a French last name, although he was born in Burnaby, Canada instead of the Quebecois region …

The Gift by Garth Brooks is kind of an odd song for him in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very beautiful song but it has a certain Spanish flavor and tone to the song. That is something I would not have expected to hear in …

I have known Moby as a well respected electronica musician who has been in the music business since the early nineties. His music climax, in my opinion, was this very album, “Play” (1999). (In fact, this album saved his career!) I have listened to this album since about 2005 …

Adele comes back with a very strong effort to follow her 30 million selling album 21. Following her age as basis for her album titles (19, 21), her highly-anticipated 3rd studio record is a continuation to that, 25. While 21 focuses on heartbreak tunes, 25 is definitely about making …

The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.

“Endless Cemetery” is the last song on Cryptopsy’s 5th album “Once Was Not”. One thing to mention is that this is the first album that features the original vocalist Lord Worm since Cryptopsy’s masterpiece album “None So Vile”. Unfortunately, this would also be Lord Worm’s last time appearing on …

This song is a nice combination of both singers…Nelly and Fergie.
It starts off basically with Nelly leading the pack while Fergie is the main provider of the Chorus of the song with Nelly bringing up the raer or ending of the chorus. She does an absolutely great job in …
