Chantal re-records this John Denver classic for the soundtrack to Armageddon back in 1998. I love her haunting delivery although I find the part where she sings “Leaving” is a little screechy and annoying – she sings it as “Leeeveeeeeng”. Apart from that, a...
Paula DeAnda – Besos (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The verses, the melody, the bridge before the chorus, and the spanish word chorus. Besos is apparently kisses in Spanish. It’s a much slower than her breakthrough 2007 hit “Easy”. Has it been 4 years already since that song? Yowza! It shows in the song as she showcases her...
Jessica Mauboy – Run (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I have reviewed 2 of her songs in the past and they were forgettable. How does she fare in this one? I would say slightly better and by the sound of things she’s heading in the right direction. Not bad. DOWNLOAD Jessica Mauboy – Run Mp3...
Iyaz – My Eyes (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
This time, Iyaz samples Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies” with a catchy melody that’s easy on the ears. This is not the full clean track as there’s voice-over samples that blights the song. However, not taking anything way from this song, it’s classic Iyaz who...
Bruno Mars – All She Knows (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I rate Bruno Mars as a singer and his debut album was really explosive. Now he’s under pressure to deliver a sophomore album sometime next year and I hope he doesn’t shed his unique style of singing. This song however is so ordinary that it’s unlike Bruno Mars’ genre....
Lindsay Lohan – Stuck (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
She’s stuck alright, clearly shows in the song and the chorus as she repeats the word “stuck” to probably tell us where she’s at right now, which it could not be any obvious. I forgot that Lindsay Lohan sings after her sordid affair with alcohol. Why in the world did...
Jessie J – Domino (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I thought “Nobody’s Perfect” was Jessie J’s best song to date. While “Price Tag” was more of a commercial success, “Nobody’s Perfect” was a brilliant understatement. This is Jessie J’s new song, while it’s nowhere near the other...
Whatever Happened to The Dentist Chair Drinking Game in Malaysia?
posted by Gallivanter
I don’t know if most of you know this, but a little over 10 years ago, when you celebrate birthdays at nightclubs, you’re given the dentist chair treatment. I received ONE dentist chair treatment and that was during my 21st birthday bash at Bangsar Shopping Centre where a club...
1953 : Harry Belafonte – Matilda (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
Hey! Ma-til-da; Ma-til-da; Ma-til-da, she take me money and run a-Venezuela. I love songs by Harry Belafonte and this one was surely a catchy calypso track called Matilda, cheeky music and a testament to good music in the 50s. I would like to see a reggae pop band releasing this as a dance pop...
The Rise of Group Buying Websites in Malaysia
posted by Gallivanter
Group buying, also known as collective buying, offers products and services at significantly reduced prices on the condition that a minimum number of buyers would make the purchase. As of now, there are 42 group buying websites in Malaysia. Yes, 42!! I believe more are underway. I have even...
O.A.R. – Gotta Be Wrong Sometimes (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
O.A.R.’s new album is a decent alternative rock collection. There are 2 songs that stood out for me, a song called “Fire” and this tune “Gotta Be Wrong Sometimes” which I find a little catchier than the former. There are 16 songs in the album and mostly...
RaVaughn Brown – When I Found You (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
RaVaughn shows off her vocal ability in the chorus that mundifies the lack of bite in the verses as she builds momentum that ends in a blazing chorus. I hope she makes it but her songs will need to be more unique than this. DOWNLOAD RaVaughn Brown – When I Found You Mp3...
