Don’t Rush is a song off of Tegan and Sara’s latest album Sainthood, released in 2009. It’s one of my favourites off of this album, although the entire album as a whole is very enjoyable. This song is different from some of their previous songs in that it’s a …

This band has influenced me tremendously as a heavy metal vocalist just starting out. Of course, I have other influences such as the band Arch Enemy which has a female lead singer like me; but there have been many things I have adored about the band Pantera.
If you’ve ever …

The main reason why I am intrigued by The Pussycat Dolls is because they manage to sing relatively well by doing exhaustingly well choreographed dance moves. They are always in sync. They have great sex appeal. They are a very talented group of performers that are entertaining in concert …

Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy is one of the bands greatest accomplishments. The mellow blues styling mixed with the energetic rock and roll makes for a truly enjoyable and uplifting musical experience. Not only is every song perfectly orchestrated, but the overall flow of the CD and …

When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …

I love this song and first heard it a few years back at Christmas time from a CD comprising of 101 Christmas songs. Little did I know it was sung back in 1960! But the song itself is so cute and I was hooked immediately when I heard it.
The …

Whatever you like by T.I. is a song that seems like a fantasy to me. What guy would actually give a girl whatever she likes even if he was rich. There are some but not many. The music video for this song is a little weird because it starts …

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 …

“Wishing on a Star”
In My Lifetime, Volume 1
Roc-A-Fella Records
“Wishing on a Star” is a little known single and music video that can only be found on the United Kingdom release of his second album “In My Lifetime, Volume 1″. No wonder it’s so little known because …

This album is of course very influential. It became very popular, and many bands tried to copy its sound. But, as far as I am concerned, I do not think that this album is perfect. For me this album consists of several elements, and while some of them are …

I have had a bit of an interesting relationship with the music of DEVIL DRIVER since they first came onto the scene. See, i like Dez’s previous band Coal Chamber a little bit, but i never really embraced them as i wasn’t real big on the whole Nu-Metal phase …

If I were a record company executive, I would definitely sign up Kenyan rock band Murfy’s Flaw. Three things make this band appealing to me. First of all, five out of six of the band members are female. Being female myself, I can only celebrate this fact since the …

Honestly, if you’re a fan of Nirvana, you probably already have all their other CDs, so there’s no particular reason to buy this one unless you’re a stickler for owning every version of a song ever recorded. The one advantage to this CD is that it’s great for …

The song Try Me is a ballad by the english hard rock melodic band UFO. It is off the album Lights out released in 1977 and in my opinion one of the bands best ballads along with Love to Love. The song starts out with a piano intro …

Overview - Metallica’s debut album, Kill ‘Em All, is an album that I would consider to be a break through for thrash metal and an extremely innovative album. Despite this, the album is far from perfect and extremely far from what Metallica was truly capable of, as they proved …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …
