This is probably one of the most heartbreaking, tear-wrenching songs I have ever heard. It is based on a true story, and one of Tay’s rare songs that doesn’t sing about boys and one-sided love. It tells of a young mother’s groundbreaking sorrow of losing her beloved youngest son …

One of the old time singers I can truly say I like and have always liked is the singer Percy Sledge. I actually did not know his name until recently when I heard one of his songs playing on the radio again and did a quick google search, but …

From the moment I first heard “All About the Bass” more than a year ago, I instantly fell in love with Meghan Trainor. She gave something that not only reminded me of the 80’s but also the fact that she’s a newcomer, and with a concept that she’s trying …

You may have heard their pervasive song “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” or seen its inventive “teen with antlers” video. And recently the follow-up single “Dance, Dance” is hitting the airwaves, with another imaginative video evocative of the troubled teen years. I decided to purchase their CD after …

Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …

One More Drink is from Ludacris’ latest 2008 album Theater of the Mind. It has a very different sound from usual Ludacris songs, but it is my absolute favorite song of his so far. The blend of a claps and beats to dreamy bells is
stunning. This makes the song …

I saw this music video after the CMT Music Awards. I didn’t think I was going to like it but since it won an award, I figured I would listen to it and see if it really deserved it. I had wanted Carrie Underwood to win for “Cowboy Casanova”. …

This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …

“No Need To Argue” was a natural evolution from their previous album. The Cranberries recreated exactly what they’ve achieved on “Everybody ” except they did it on a different scale. Stronger, angrier, longer, the album has that self-confidence “Everybody ” lacked. Supposedly this mixture was the one which rocketed …
