Mushy. Eek. Strictly for fans of Shayne Ward as this ballad lacks originality in epic proportions, but you mushy fanatics of pop bubble gum ice cream hooha will enjoy it. With songs like this, one can’t help but wonder if Shayne Ward’s gay or just trying to get laid with...
Rihanna – Farewell (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
“We Found Love“, “Drunk on Love“, “Roc Me Out“, and now this powerful ballad by Rihanna. She knocks the ball out of the park for a home run on this single. The melody brilliantly mashes up with her vocals, which she pushes a lot to the limit on her new...
Orianthi – If You Were Here With Me (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Orianthi played with Santana, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton, Prince and Michael Jackson! Her third album, “Fire” is not the bonfire type, but one lit from a matchstick. She shows her soulful side in this simple ballad. DOWNLOADÂ Orianthi – If You Were Here With Me Mp3...
Kelly Clarkson – Standing in Front of You (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
While it’s not one of Kelly Clarkson’s better songs, it’s good enough as the chorus delivers an ideal yet poignant statement. This song is taken off her latest album, “Stronger”, which has a few decent songs. I like this ballad but it’s not my favorite track...
2003 : R Kelly – Thoia Thoing (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
I freakin’ love this track. The beat is bloody off the hook and I think this is R Kelly’s best non-ballad tune. Over the years, he’s been extremely annoying with slow songs that sound too similar to one another. This track though, my my my, I remember dancing to it at the...
1989 : Elton John – Sacrifice (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
One of Elton John’s best ballad, if not, his best ever. Brilliant stuff by a man from the past whose been trying in vain to remain relevant for the past 10 years. His best is clearly behind him, like most artistes. But, his best trumps most current artistes out there. DOWNLOADÂ Elton...
1996 : Scorpions – You and I (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
This was Scorpions last big hit before they started releasing dud after dud until they decided to retire, 10 years too long! While it doesn’t have the magic of their previous rock ballads, it’s still a catchy sweet rock ballad written by the lead singer. DOWNLOADÂ 1996 : Scorpions...
Theory of a Deadman – The Truth Is… (Mp3 Download) Album Review
posted by Gallivanter
Lots of ballads and a few rockers is what Theory of a Deadman’s the truth is. None of the songs here are as good as the brilliant “Hate My Life”, but some of the ballads are pretty good. 12 songs plus 4 bonus tracks and 2 acoustic renditions. Out of the 18 songs, 6 songs are...
Beyonce – I Was Here (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Beyonce’s latest album, “4″ is a collection of much slower tunes unlike her previous albums, barring “Run the World”. I think vocally and musically, this is the best ballad off her new album and it’s very rarely that I like a Beyonce track straight off the...
2003 : Joe Lynn Turner – Unchained Melody (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
This is a rocked version of the famous song, which went off the charts when the movie “Ghost” burst onto the big screens in the early 90s. Joe Lynn Turner, also known as JLT, gives the Righteous Brothers track a more righteous ballad which is perfect for a wedding first dance. This...
Rama – Smile (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This song I dig, unfortunately can’t say much for his name, but that’s just a personal view. What he lacks in a memorable name he makes it up with this smooth R&B ballad rendition that is a possible swooner for the ladies, for men who are too shy to put it into words to express...
Shayne Ward – Close to Close (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
A mushy ballad by Shayne Ward taken off his new album, “Obsession”. I’m not fond of this track although I have a feeling that it’ll go down well with teeny boppers on both sides of the gender. The song’s a little too generic, and Shayne Ward’s voice is...
