In 2008 Faryl Smith stunned the many thousands of watchers on the TV Talent show Britain’s Got Talent. At the age of 13 who voice was truly unbelievable, in a good way that was, she had a voice just as good as the most known professionals in …

I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …

Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …

This song maybe not be one of the newest songs out there, but it has a lasting legacy. I heard this song at a younger age, liked it, but really didn’t understand what it was saying, I liked the tune. Ten years later I listen to this song again …

Don’t buy this CD; it is really tasteless. Not to mention I am not really a big fan of this artiste anyway. But he is really talented I have to claim that. For this particular album, the songs are not that nice and I couldn’t relate to …

You Me At Six have eventually managed to impress me! I actually like their new album. I think I didn’t like their debut album Take Off Your Colours because I did not like Josh’ voice, but his vocals have vastly improved for their new album. The only thing I …

I began listening to this amazing band quite some time ago (even though they haven’t been around for all that long) and I must say, as sadly often is the case with other bands, the sound of their music has NOT faded the tiniest bit. I can listen to …

Lil Wayne —“ The Dedication 3
Lil Wayne dropped the dedication 3 in 2009, and it was definitely a letdown, coming from a Lil Wayne fan. Lil Wayne performed well on the mixtape but the members from his entourage failed to shine.

“Bleed” is the third track off of Meshuggah’s 2008 album Obzen. Technically I believe it is a single off the album but I’m not quite sure. I do know that the song kicks major butt and that they do in fact have a music video for it. So going …
