Jono McNeil – Never Leave You (Song Review)
The chorus is hauntingly catchy. I think most ladies out there would dig this song, and also a number of men who are having soft moments in their lives. DOWNLOAD Jono McNeil – Never Leave You Mp3 7/10
Nicki Minaj – Marilyn Monroe (Song Review)
I’m surprised that this is a Nicki Minaj song because she sounds very normal here as opposed to her weird delivery style in the pass. This is a not a full song, but I had to do a review on it as I think it will be a big hit for Minaj. I can also [...]
Rock City – For Your Love (Song Review)
The song sounds like it copied some other track. However, it can grow on you after listening to it a couple of times. While it’s not the greatest of memorable songs, it’s decent enough to be added into your playlist for at least a couple of weeks. DOWNLOAD Rock City – For Your Love Mp3 6/10
Brighi featuring Snoop Dogg – Play Me Like a Violin (Song Review)
The chorus sounds like a cheesy China-made dance song and it tries to redeem itself with the violin score. However, I think it’s focus on Europop + China-esque chorus has made it fail. Coupled with a loser called Snoop Dogg, and you have a recipe for disaster! DOWNLOAD Brighi ft Snoop Dogg – Play Me Like [...]
Jean Roch featuring Pitbull & Nayer – Name Of Love (Song Review)
What a waste of a song! It has potential with Pitbull but it quickly turned into an Euro Pop Dance, unleashing its crap. Pitbull, next time, listen to the song first before you decide to jump in because songs like this will damage your rep. DOWNLOAD Jean Roch ft Pitbull & Nayer – Name Of Love [...]
The Fray – The Wind (Song Review)
Their latest album continues from where they left off, at the brink of boredom. While the leader singer has a decent voice, the band relies on one slow song too many and this is also apparent on their new album. If I had to pick out the best one, I think this is it. DOWNLOAD The [...]
Panah – Unbreakable (Song Review)
The verses are boring but the chorus will appeal to women who are trying to lift themselves up after being put in a self esteem washing machine by their loved one. DOWNLOAD Panah – Unbreakable Mp3 5/10
Flo-Rida featuring T-Pain & LMFAO – Run To You (Song Review)
The song’s not as catchy as I hoped it to be, seeing that these 3 musicians are of high quality. I think too much cook spoil the broth case. The verses and beat are banging, but the chorus just lacks the bite to push the envelope. DOWNLOAD Flo-Rida ft T-Pain & LMFAO – Run To You [...]
Sean Paul featuring DJ Ammo – Touch The Sky (Song Review)
This is the fastest track on Sean Paul’s latest album, which is filled with mid-tempo blaze numbers that can make you fall asleep, as it sounds like one long ass song with intervals after 4 to 5 minutes. “She Doesn’t Mind” remains the best song off the album, and this is probably in second place. [...]
Serana Fox – Party Girls (Song Review)
The chorus is catchy and I think it’s good enough to catapult Serana Fox into some level of stardom. While she lacks the pizzazz of Kesha or Lady Gaga with her uniqueness, she offers something additional to the music world filled with female singers like her trying to make it big. DOWNLOAD Serana Fox – Party [...]
J Angel – Take it All (Song Review)
I like the chorus. If only he put more thought about his stage name – J Angel is not memorable and won’t stick. What about Jack Angel? Better no? Good song by the way. DOWNLOAD J Angel – Take it All Mp3 6/10
Innate Forte – Bad Girls (Song Review)
It’s refreshing to hear a non-dance-laced track every now and then. While their verses lack bite, their chorus pulls all the right punches mostly helped by the head throbbing melody. Nothing memorable except the beat. DOWNLOAD Innate Forte – Bad Girls Mp3 4/10
Jeremy Greene featuring Pitbull & Courtney Argue – Make It Rain (Song Review)
Meh. My first impression when I listened to this track. Pity that Greene didn’t smash it out of the water as he has in his arsenal, Pitbull, the man of the moment. Maybe the track will grow on me over time, but for now, meh. DOWNLOAD Jeremy Greene ft Pitbull & Courtney Argue – Make It [...]
The Cataracs – Synthesizer (Song Review)
The song’s peppered with vulgarity to cover up its weaknesses. Well, I don’t think it did a good job in the first place. However, this track will go down well as a dancefloor filler. I hate Skrillex by the way, and The Cataracs applies the Skrillex treatment on a portion. Blah. Repetitive nonsense. DOWNLOAD The [...]
Tim McGraw featuring Ne-Yo – Only Human (Song Review)
WTF? A country singer with an R&B singer? What’s going on in the world? Hang on, don’t make prejudiced thoughts before listening to it. Both are good singers with good voice, and Ne-Yo lends his voice in this country track and successfully added more soul to it – an ingredient that country music lack. However, [...]
K’Naan featuring Nelly Furtado – Is Anybody Out There (Song Review)
K’Naan, who made a name for himself when he released a tune that formed the soundtrack to the recent World Cup, finally releases a number of tunes, but this track, a collaboration with Nelly Furtado is the highlight. DOWNLOAD K’Naan ft Nelly Furtado – Is Anybody Out There Mp3 6/10
Sean Paul featuring Kelly Rowland – How Deep Is Your Love (Song Review)
Sean Paul has just released his new album after being on a hiatus for a while. I like his “She Doesn’t Mind” tune, his first single. While this one doesn’t have as much oomph but it could give him a decent showing in the charts. DOWNLOAD Sean Paul ft Kelly Rowland – How Deep Is Your [...]
1984 : Queen – I Want to Break Free (Mp3 Download)
You can never find a band like Queen, the most eclectic rock band ever – most of their songs are unique, so unique. While this track doesn’t command that uniqueness to the maximum extent like how Freddie Mercury likes to bring it, it is surely one of their best tracks. Oh how I would’ve loved [...]
1982 : John Mellencamp – Hurt So Good (Mp3 Download)
The song was written by Mellencamp and George Green, a childhood friend. The song was first conceived, Mellencamp claims, in his shower and the first lines created were those of the chorus written by Mellencamp, he then said the lines to Green and they finished the song very quickly. This is one of Mellencamp’s best track! [...]
1982 : Madness – Our House (Mp3 Download)
This is one of my favorite British pop tunes from the 80s. The song’s lyrics mostly describe the working class family lifestyle, and the band acts them out by portraying such a family in the music video. There’s nothing deep about the track, just a fun tune all around. DOWNLOAD Madness – Our House Mp3
