David Bowie is the very definition of LEGEND in the music industry. I have been a fan of David’s for many years, and I actually heard about him from his films, not from his music. The specific film being Labyrinth, in which he was one of the main characters, …

I was sitting in a cafeteria when I first heard this song. From the voice of the singer I can actually tell that it is from Rihanna. One thing that I really like with this song is how Rihanna belt it. From what I heard from her, I can …

“Katzenjammer” is a song by Kyuss that shows up on their album “Wretch” and their EP “Sons of Kyuss”. I am reviewing the “Sons of Kyuss” version. This version of the song “Katzenjammer” happens to not only be longer, but in my opinion better than the one they released …

Tri-Polar is the third album by the australian pwer-trio Sick Puppies.

This song is a song any teenage girl can relate to. The opening line goes “I like the way you sound in the morning… I like the way I can’t keep my focus…” This reminds me of waking up every morning for school, groggy and all. The only thing …

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 …

Jazz compositions that He created quite a lot, with a …
