Nick Carter – The Great Divide (Song Review)

Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 15. Mar, 2010 | 1 Comment

Not bad although it could’ve been better in terms of catchiness. Still, it’ll please you Backstreet Boys fan as Nick showcases what the Backstreet Boys have been missing over the last couple of albums – some sense of maturity. However, I think there is still some distance for Nick to achieve a certain level of [...]

JLS – Mary (Song Review)

It sounds like a “slow” version of that Vengaboys song, I forgot the title of it. See if you can catch the same tone, especially in the chorus. Also, see if you can hear a little of “Come on Eileen” in there too. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty decent song by this boyband called JLS.

Erik Hassle – Isn’t It Obvious (Song Review)

This dude’s not bad. I think this is his crème de la crème song off his album. Overall, there’s nothing fractious about this effort as there isn’t any bombastic deliverance which will appeal to pop alternative lovers out there. However, you can take my advice as I say that this is the best track.

We are the World 25 for Haiti (Song Review)

Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 15. Feb, 2010 | 5 Comments

This song will surely eclipse Simon Cowell’s Everybody Hurts (Haiti) single, because that REM song is too bloody depressing that it’s morbid. “We are the World”, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, is in a class of its own.
Here’s the lineup to the remake:
Conductors: Quincy Jones & Lionel Richie
Verses: Justin Bieber, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer [...]

Jason Derulo – Blind (Song Review)

Jason Derulo’s “What’cha Say” is way overrated because he has BETTER songs than that one, but I guess that’s how crummy radio stations can make a song a hit, as it’s blur followers would just listen to any garbage, thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread. While this track is not wonderfully unique, it [...]

I love the chorus as its haunting delivery perfectly captures the song, though I felt that the band should’ve thought a better song name instead something as bland as “Take Some Risks”, maybe “Everyone” or “Surrounding Me”. Whatever it is, I think this song is pretty good.

I think most of us who appreciate good music would’ve been exposed to the falsetto voices of the Bee Gees. I’m sure each of us have our own favorites. My favorite is “More Than a Woman”. Here’s a list of the best tracks from the Bee Gees for your listening pleasure.

If you like laid-back R&B tracks but still good enough to pack some punch, then this one’s for you. I think Demarco’s track was certainly aided by the heart-pounding beat, which makes the final product sexy. However, I think its sexiness can wear off after some time.

This is some elements that made 60s love songs a big hit. Christina Milian re-uses that formula but does not overkill it. While she will find it difficult to upstage her big hit, “AM to PM”, this is a pretty cool song. I think this will go down well with the ladies.

I like 5 songs from the album, with 3 in particular. If you’re into pop-punk sounding music, than you might dig this one. These dudes are from Holland, which is a surprise because they sound like a cross between Fall Out Boy, Paramore and Simple Plan. Some of the tracks here are pretty aubade, nice [...]
