A Middle-Eastern sounding track from an artist called Aiko, whom details are not yet available online. I am liking the beat, and overall, it’s not a bad track. It could’ve been a whole lot better had Aiko roped in a guest rapper to add more bite to the song as after a while you can...
Diddy Dirty Money – Last Night Part 2 (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
The only link between this so-called “Part 2″ of “Last Night”, where the “Part 1″ was a Diddy and Keyshia Cole combo, is the music, and Diddy himself. I was never taken in with the original track, and neither am I blown away with Part 2. Maybe it’s...
Jesse McCartney – One Night (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Jesse McCartney records a song that goes against the codes of REAL musicians, i.e. very formulaic. The verses and choruses sound like other songs mashed up for kicks. If it was a unique release, I would’ve been OK with it, but with the rip-off of other tracks, me no like. You on the...
Nikki – Let it Go (Mp3 Download) Album Review
posted by Gallivanter
Nikki Kerkhof, a winner of Holland’s Pop Idol releases a decent sounding album, where I could easily pick out 3 good songs. She surely has the vocal chops to introduce a more rock feel to the album, but I believe she can push the barriers a little more. Maybe in time when she believes in...
The Click Five – TCV (Mp3 Download) Album Review
posted by Gallivanter
The Click Five pretty much continue where they left off, without trying to be bold with a sense of direction. While some say it’s lame, some will say it’s the safest commercial route. Hey, if it worked earlier, why change the formula right? However, I think all bands are allowed...
Michael Jackson – (I Like) The Way You Love Me (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This MJ song is certainly a throwback to the 70s. I like the smooth delivery and the relaxing feel that the song personifies. Unfortunately, again, if there’s a fault in it, it’s that it’s incomplete i.e. without MJ’s magical finishes, and this is the general theme of...
Michael Jackson featuring 50 Cent – Monster (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
It feels weird listening to Michael Jackson’s unreleased tracks off his album that Sony decides to release. Why weird? Well, it doesn’t have the completeness of the King of Pop, and the music is unlike any of his trademark and that’s a disappointment. I hope that there will...
Reflecting on Your Relationship: Accepting Flaws vs Settling Down
posted by Gallivanter
At times in our relationship, we have all reflected on it, questioned it, and become realistic about it, especially when it’s going bad. When it’s good, it’s all butterflies and daffodils and coconut trees! As humans, we always look at flaws and not strengths, and if we stick...
Plain White T’s – Broken Record (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
With “Rhythm of Love” being chosen as the first single off Plain White T’s new album, after listening to the album, I think this song is decent enough as the second single of a pretty mellowed collection of songs that is more pop than alternative rock. I like the chorus...
Plain White T’s – Rhythm Of Love (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
It’s very unlike the Plain White T’s, who attempts to copy the laidback styles of musicians like Jason Mraz. It might do fairly well as fans are more receptive to melodies like this. Personally, I’m not overly excited about this track. We’ll watch the world from above...
Patty Cakes – She’s For Me (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I can’t find an image of this singer, but by the sound of things and for obvious lyrical reason, he’s probably a teenage dude who’s trying to break through to the music scene. I like the chorus and the overall take on it. Patty Cakes pulls a rabbit out of a hat filled with...
