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...

Meat Loaf, to me, is a hit and miss. While some of his previous tracks were classics, although it’s not my cup of tea, his newer works are a little more commercial. I’m not sure whether I like it or otherwise, but it’s definitely better than those long-ass song names where...

Oh my. What a massive miss by Toni Braxton, as the album sounds so dated that you feel sorry for this diva. There will not be any impact like her previous work before the year 2000. I reviewed this album for Junk Magazine and I could not find any positives about it except maybe her voice seems...

Lifehouse has scored a few big numbers in the past, with the lead singer’s unique vocals, the songs were even more memorable. I love songs like “You & Me”, “Blind”, “Come Back Down” and “Storm” – all classic tracks. Now these...

Alicia Keys is in suppuration process. “The Elements of Freedom” plays up her ripeness as an artist. Although the song elements have little commercial attraction to please the masses, there are some poignant tracks that is grappling to the matters of the heart. She stays true to...

I always rated Timbaland as a top producer who just simply can’t do no wrong. I put him on a pedestal, only for him to release a lackluster album that sounds like a collection of demo tracks, clearly nowhere near his best. What a bloody disappointment coming from a dude who has his...

Yes. It’s now moving into the third month. Finally, one of my dreams, albeit a teeny weenie one, but a dream nevertheless, has come true. I’m now an official music reviewer for Junk magazine Malaysia. Of course,  I am part of a group of contributors. This is what I call NOT A JOB,...

My favorite song from Staind is their 2003 hit, “So Far Away”. I didn’t really like their 2005 effort, and now their back with their latest album, “The Illusion of Progress”. It’s not a bad effort at all. 2 songs stood out for me, “This is it”...

Firstly, I didn’t know that a name like Sarah Connor is something of a norm in Germany. She’s from Deutschland, probably real name Helga Zisswienerizgood, grew up loving the movie Terminator that she adopted that name. I have this song with me for the last couple of weeks now, and...

What an album to listen to! It was a rocking good effort by Black Stone Cherry. I’m surprised that this band went under my radar since they were formed in 2001. It’s a throwback of rock n roll from the its heydays, with some fresher sound. This album was was produced by Bob...

The man with the BEST male voice in the music business, is back with another album! OLE! 11 tracks. The first track, simply continues the Bryan Adams’ signature style. Heck, it’s much much better than Lenny Kravitz’s new album, which was a major dud. Unfortunately, the...
