R. Kelly ft. The Game
“Playas Only”
TP-3: Reloaded

It looks like R. Kelly is no longer trapped in the closet in this second single and music video from his solo album, “TP-3: Reloaded”. Here, he teams up with a rapper who (quite possibly) stole his name from a 1997 David …

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 …

Apocalypse Please, the second track to appear on Muse’s record, Absolution, is the latest Muse song which I’ve currently found myself listening to over and over. I’m finding that with Muse I’m generally discovering one of their songs every few days which I simply can’t stop listening to, the …

Jordin Sparks is such an awesome person. Not only is she young, but she is also talented and I think for someone with a nice image as her, she has a nice big voice to boot too. However, the songs inside are quite on average. I think …

The Cranberries was one of the most famous rock bands of the 90’s. On 1999 they released “Promises” as a single of their “Bury the Hatchet” album. That song was a major hit and is my favorite Cranberries song and one of the best songs from the 90’s.
The song …
