Let’s not beat around the bush here. What we have in Chris Cornell’s Scream is possibly the most misguided, counterintuitive, magnificently awful record Cornell, and producer Timbaland, will ever make. It’s suffers from both hideously outdated production - it sounds like what [...]
I know. 99% of the time, music journalism isn’t very helpful. It’s, at best, pretentious attempts to appear to be gripping the zeitgeist, and at worst, thinly-veiled marketing schemes disguised as a semi-cogent thought process. But I feel that here at ZME, we can be something more. An agent of virtue - a voice that’s [...]
Finally, it’s over! After months and months of politically blabbering, when where ever you turned you’d hear only Obama vs McCain vs Palin vs Clinton vs bla bla, talks. I was beginning to have it up to here, you know. I can barely express how much I’m glad this whole elections mambo jambo is over.
As [...]
Earlier today, Kanye guested at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he didn’t miss the occasion to premier the video for his latest single “Love Lockdown.” Tribal motives, mixed together with Ikea furniture and suit dressed Kanye (No, Kanye, you don’t dress like white people). Love Lockdown is off Kanye’s upcoming new album, “808s and [...]
I saw this ‘band’ recently, Naturally 7 when they were opening for Michael Buble here in Australia, and I have to say, they are mind blowing!! Hailing from New York City, what they do is called Vocal Play, whereby they use only their voices to sound like instruments. A 7 man group, they have a [...]
I found X-Men to be among the only present day movie series, that did somewhat justice to the iconic Marvel comics their based upon. I really enjoyed the whole X-Men trilogy, because of it’s dazzling special effects, so-so story line and of course the spectacular mutants, each with its special ability. My clear favorite? Wolverine, [...]
There is no way you can go and sing against Aretha Franklin. Going against the undisputed Queen of Soul would be suicide. Mister T would pity you. But since you can not defeat her it would good to join her.
Franklin demonstrates her ability to belt it out with the best of them on “Jewels in [...]

The long announced and discussed reunion took place and the next obvious marketing move would be to release their greatest hits. That was easy. What they did was that they played it safe. They are not going to make any [...]
Here’s a sweet upbeat track, perfect to startoff your dizzy mornings, from hip-hop soul queen [tag]Mary J Blige[/tag], with a equally invigorating video as well. Impressive CGI and props on MJB, who’s actually dressed up in like 20 different versions. All in all great video, grats to her team. Take that Mary J. haters !

This is the fifth English language studio album recorded by [tag]Jennifer Lopez[/tag] and beyond any predetermined ideas it is not that bad. Her previous release which was named Rebirth lacked many things and the R&B act was not that good. She goes [...]
