Justin Bieber My World 2.0 review

March 26th, 2010

It has been about 4 months since the first release of Justin Bieber’s debut CD, My World. As he promised, the second part was released and I have to say, it was a bit disappointing. Not because I did not win the big golden ticket trip to the Bahamas (although that might have helped) but [...]

Florence is a Machine

March 12th, 2010

Florence Welch is the lead singer of the band Florence + the Machine. Florence Welch is a machine. Florence Welch’s distinctive voice intertwines beautifully with harps, strings and drums as she sings her inimitable ‘soul-inspired indie’ and ‘Tim Burton-style fairytales’. -Paul Epworth If you’re not familiar with Florence Welch by now, I could easily go [...]

Timbaland’s Lost the Shock

December 10th, 2009

The only thing shocking about Timbaland’s Shock Value II, would be if he creates a Shock Value III. Shock Value II, T.land’s new album conforms to the typical styles and sounds of many other artists currently released, and doesn’t offer that fresh Timbaland experience that I was prepared for. I will be quick to jump [...]

Hedley: The Show Must Go Review

December 1st, 2009

After a hard, lonely Hedley-less two years, the boys finally released their third studio album called The Show Must Go. Good thing, because I know I’m not the only Hedley fan who was going through withdrawal. I’ve been listening to this album like a fiend for the last couple of weeks, and I couldn’t wait [...]

Justin Bieber: My World Review

November 23rd, 2009

I carefully unwrapped the packaging and took a breath. As I opened the CD, all my dreams were crushed as there was no golden ticket. It is a great marketing strategy as each hardcore Justin Bieber fan rushed out to buy as many CDs as they could in search of a golden ticket, which could [...]
