The first album called In My Own Words was a major hit and it launched the singer into the big world; it was a a number one album supported by two Top Ten singles and a third that peaked in the Top 20. Working for others like for [tag]Rihanna[/tag]’s Top Ten “Unfaithful” and [tag]Beyonce[/tag]’s number one “Irreplaceable” kept his profile there. This album shows that he still has quality material to spare and shows the…
It seems that [tag]Bjork[/tag] has come across a very nifty musical gadget: “the reactable”, which she’s going to use in the upcoming [tag]Volta[/tag] tour. The very sophisticateddevice has been developed by a group of digital luthiers at the Audiovisual Institute at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. It’s basically consisted of a glowing round tabletop on which and blocks that are placed on its surface, each block represents a sound, a sample or a filter…
According to a news post from earlier today, on [tag]Franz Ferdinand[/tag]’s myspace page, the Brits will attend a show in New York’s Bowery Ballroom on June 13th. Tickets for this show will go on sale at midday on Thursday 7th June through ticketweb.com. This show comes right after Franz Ferdinand’s excellent performance for their fellow town’s folk in Glasgow, at the Grand Ole Oprey Country And Western Club and comes as a great worm up…
Check out this RATM page, that’s what i call weird. There are 2 countdowns, one for 4 days from now and the other countdowns to August 24 of this year. What could this dates represent ? I have no clue, but i can only presume that the first date is for [tag]Rage Against The Machine[/tag]’s new website and the second most probably for a new tour, as a new album is a little out of…
Until about ten years ago, metal meant just hardcore instrumental and fast guitar playing. Mostly, it is the same today, but some changes in the genre delivered albums which in the early ’90s would just not be possible. A thing which probably nobody could have predicted is for a band to merge heavy metal with a symphony orchestra. Today “[tag]symphonic metal[/tag]” bands seemed to be growing by the day — as the genre was being…
It sure took [tag]Daddy Yankee[/tag] a long time to follow up Barrio Fino (2004), the most successful and influential reggaeton album to date but the wait was not in vain. The album takes his style even closer to the edge, making it a leap forward for the artist. He has some duets with singers like [tag]Fergie[/tag] and [tag]Akon[/tag] and as he is influenced by pop-rap household names he does not move away from the hybrid…
The Pussycat Dolls lead singer [tag]Nicole Scherzinger[/tag] talks, in a interview, about her due to be released solo album, which is scheduled for launch some where in the summer of 2007. In the interview Nicole sheds some light on how the new album, called “Her name is Nicole…”, will sound and also mentions some of the people she’s worked with on this record, like: [tag]Akon[/tag], [tag]Timbaland[/tag], [tag]Pharell[/tag], [tag]Sean Garrette[/tag], [tag]Kanye West[/tag], [tag]Ne-Yo[/tag], Marcy Gray, Will.i.am…
Band name: Incubus Album name: Light Grenades Label: Epic/Immorta Gender: Rock/Alternative Release date: Nov 28, 2006 ZMErating: 4/5 Website: www.enjoyincubus.com I’ve heard some tracks of Incubus on the radio a while back, i’ve always fancied their style, their lyrics, i virtually liked them a lot as artists, so I decided to review one of their albums, namely their last one “Light Grenades”.
The singer [tag]Björk[/tag] could be described as a true alchemist as she finds harmony and balances the most pure feelings with fear and destruction; she does everything. What makes it special is the her way of singing, strong yet delicate. The opening track is “Earth Intruders” and the beat is also good, courtesy of Timbaland and Konono No. 1’s electric thumb-pianos. The track includes some incantations and the way she sings harder and louder is…
This year coincides with the 30th anniversary reunion tour in 2007. The band prepares a tour and they have also released a double compilation called “The Police”. The quality can not be denied but but this set falls just a bit short of being the definitive Police double disc. It feels a bit slim at 28 tracks. But the bad thing is not that it is slim but rather that some definitory tracks are missing….
