It’s been a while since Nelly took the world by storm some 10 years ago. He’s been trying every now and again to return to stardom but have failed miserably. What about this track though? Banging beat, classic Nelly rapping, just about the right ingredients to get the booties shakin’ and the hearts pumpin’. Could [...]
Wowee. Now this is a nice slow jam by Atozzio. And this is coming from someone who dislikes R&B music in general because of the similarities in the genre that makes it boring. The chorus is really pleasing to the ears although you get the feeling that the melody is recycled from some other tune. [...]
I’ve been reading about this, that Bon Jovi’s planning a Volume 2 of their greatest hits, and many fans out there seem to be confused with the definition of Volume 2 as they hope for hits like “Livin’ On a Prayer”, “I’ll Be There For You”, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, “Wanted Dead or [...]
This is a religion-themed track, and Newsboys knocks it out of the park. It’s a pity that I’m no longer active in church as I was when I was much younger, else, I would’ve defied the traditional Catholic rules by introducing songs like this during mass, to make it more relevant to the current society. [...]
This is a nice ode to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. It’s not easy trying to cover his tracks without ending up looking like a poor man’s version. Ramzi brings an R&B vibe to it, and the beat makes it a little gospel, delivering a more uplifting theme than the original. I love Michael [...]
I love the chorus of this R&B track. The beat blends very well with the delivery of the emotions that Travis Garland offers. This 20-year old dude was previously with some boyband called NLT, whom for the life of me, have never heard of them. I think the highest accolade that one can give to [...]
Yes, I have been practicing this for almost a year now – wherever possible, I turn down the use of plastic bags, particularly if I only buy a thing or 2 which I can easily carry by hand. I’m also influencing Mel to do the same and she has embraced it too. It’s simple things [...]
Freaking excellent track. I love the upbeat music with the emotional R&B delivery prevalent in Bruno Mars’ voice. With the attention-getting chorus perfectly encapsulates and jabs from the verses like a fighter going through his sparring before landing a knockout. Nice one Bruno.

I loved reading this memoir, a wonderfully written story about William Kamkwamba from Malawi who built a windmill out of scraps to help his family at times of famine. And by scraps I mean blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard. I read up on his story after reading this [...]

This is an old song by Firehouse, 12 years to be exact. It was from the album after the album that gave us “I Live My Life For You”. While this song fails to capture the momentum of that track, it’s still a decent rock ballad of sorts. I know many people have a love-hate [...]

This is a folk rock band, and I kinda dig this track. It sings about the usual American hoopla, although delivered in some Scottish/Irish theme to make it a decent potpourri that could go down well with some. In fact, I’ll share not only this track but also a fast number called “Good People”. My [...]

Yes, you read it right. Come year end, Proton will finally stop making the God-damned Waja. They will instead sell Mitsubishi Lancer rebadged under Proton for less than RM80K! I think the Lancer’s approx RM115K in the market, so to those of you who bought the Mitsubishi Lancer, you’re technically screwed in the second-hand car [...]

Again, Janet Jackson’s haunting song, is sampled yet..again. This time Pitbull joins forces with DJ Jacky and I think it’s that fella Fatman Scoop also lends his voice. It’s not that great big deal of a song as it sounds more like a mashup of sorts. I think if these musicians put their hearts and [...]

I have to thank my boss Julian who introduced me to this series. He spoke about it while we were having a departmental lunch. I asked him more about it and he said, “If you like Arrested Development, you’ll love this even more.” I remember enjoying watching “Arrested Development”, so I thought what the heck. [...]

I wanted to blog about Bei Maejor’s other song, “Drunk in the Club”, providing mp3 download for you, but somehow I missed out on that tune. I only realize after I heard of this track “Gamez” featuring Keri Hilson. Nevertheless I will share both tunes for you to download at the end of the post. [...]

I heard this song a couple of weeks’ ago, but it didn’t really stood out enough for me to blog about it. The reason for a change of mind is because as I was scouring through the charts looking at the latest releases, I noticed that this track was an airplay gainer. It’s a very [...]

An absolutely amazing delivery of a melancholic yet emotionally-driven track with a mellowed musical arrangement, which makes it a perfect ying-yang. I love this track and prior to this, I have never heard of Steve Azar, who’s apparently been in the music business since 1996. I like to unearth tracks like this, with so much [...]

Allister makes Jackson’s 5 track, “I Want You Back” very relevant to the younger rock scene. Yup, Allister gives that classic track a noisy punkish treatment delivered in only 1 minute 30 seconds, which is a good move because anything longer, you might just hit the skip button. It’s a good pick-me-up to tackle a [...]
