Under the stray of drugs, booze, suicide attempts and God knows what other regretful acts the young miss Winehouse has underwent, some of us were more then tempted to forget about her wonderful singing talents. We all want a comeback and I feel like she wants it to, especially by releasing her latest single and accompanying video for “Love Is A Losing Game,” one of the most touching and beautiful songs from Back to Black….
Mystery seems to be a [tag]Radiohead[/tag] trademark, from cryptic runes (those were fun though), to a sporadic out of the blue new album, to a basement gig footage and most recently details have surfaced of the band’s much anticipated 2008 tour. The dates for the summer European tour were announced yesterday and included some vague schedueling for Manchester, Dublin or Glasgow; at the time I didn’t know if this was intentionally put to confuse or…
Talented Jacksonville “heart breaker” is back with a new video, this time for the slow paced, chilling “Follow The Lights.” Much like the whole song, the video lacks passion and as result gets terribly dull. It features Ry chopping his guitar and singing the song, while a pretty down dude walks through a empty, uninhabited home. Although it’s a bright day, only a few portions of the house are lighted, the man follows these “lights”…
The reuniting saga has not stopped. But this time it is something different. They are not in the spot light as Spice Girls or Eagles were but James Taylor and Carole King are two very talented musicians and they have been making music for the soul for about forty years. Taylor and King were a match made in 1969 at Hollywood’s famed Troubadour nightclub. They were rehearsing there Tuesday afternoon for a series of benefit…
Artist name: Daft Punk Album name: Alive 2007 Label: Virgin Gender: House Release date: November 20, 2007 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: http://www.daftpunk.com/ Without a doubt, the eccentric electro duo, [tag]Daft Punk[/tag] can be considered true pioneers and house music forefathers, gaining worldwide notoriety thanks to their provocative blend of progressive house, funk, electro, techno, and hip-hop styled breakbeat. Although Daft Punk is one of the best things to come out of a studio, they’re also a…
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 Crown,” a collection of 16 mostly old duets with such artists as Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston and…
[tag]LeAnn Rimes[/tag] is a very talented singer and her voice is just breathtaking; it has wowed audience since she was just 13, when she made her debut with the hit album “Blue” and earned a best new artist Grammy in the process. But her work was not that respected. That is until she released Family. The critics are not retaining themselves from lauding the music that sings about the well-publicized drama she had with her…
I just recently came across a really interesting Florida based indie band, going by the name of The Oaks. It was founded by drummer Matthew Antolick and guitarist/songwriter Ryan Costello. The later has been living a, some may say, thrilling and risky life in the past years, after he sold everything he owned and moved to Afghanistan for the next two years (this was from 2003-2005), where he thought agricultural techniques and directly participating in…
Garth Brooks is a living legend. But above being a musician he is a family man and so he is hard to see because he does not play numerous gigs. He imposed himself a retirement but he is returning to play just nine back-to-back concerts in Kansas City to promote his three-disc greatest hits collection, “The Ultimate Hits.”. The 45-year-old Brooks says he has no regrets about bowing out of recording and touring in 2000…
Artist name: Spice Girls Album name: Greatest Hits Label: Virgin Gender: Pop Release date: November 9, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.thespicegirls.com 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 new fans and some old fans are going to dislike it, but they managed…
