His new album has more misses that hits unfortunately. The first song off the album is probably the second best song after the combo with B.o.B called “Alligator Sky” – excellent track. “The Real World” continues his genre of delivery albeit a slower...

I think even the lead singer of Maroon 5 is on this track. Christina Aguilera’s been a has-been for the longest time with so many misses in the last 10 years or so. This time she hooks up with Cee Lo Green who brings his usual retro genre to power up Aguilera’s tune. What’s...

I was in awe of the live performance of this track and the studio version felt short of recreating that magic. It sounds like it’s a rushed recording and I think Durbin needs to get back into the studio to re-record it and bring that live magic he delivered during Idol performance....

Another new artist that is riding on today’s music’s genre – hip hop pop dance mish mash. Everything about this track sounds like a template – nothing original about it, yet it has the catchiness that has made many songs who attempted the same surfaced over they years....

I’m digging the catchy chorus. The genre has a little dabble of reggae through its laidback pop-rock melody. Detail is from Akon’s music stable called Konvict. It could’ve been better had he roped in a guest artist to provide some vocal melodies while he delivers the laidback...

I’m loving this rock ballad by Trust Company, their best track by a million miles of the latest album. Their singing style is similar to a band called Default but the music has more bite. I think you can call their genre Alternative Metal, a genre that I am liking very...

This is a bloody hot number by the nasal-voiced Akon, Pitbull who’s been churning tracks like there’s no tomorrow and Jermaine Dupri, another nasal-voiced rapper. As I have said many times before, hip hop is moving up a couple of notches, marrying its genre with dance music. The...

Crash Parallel is a Canadian alternative rock band that sounds similar along the veins of bands like The Fray, Counting Crows and even Lifehouse. Their latest album, “Sunset in Reverse” will surely please some fans of the genre. Of all the songs, this one’s stood out the...

Bruno Mars does an excellent rendition of Supergrass’ Alright. At this moment, this fella can’t seem to do no wrong, and I hope he continues improving his songs without sacrificing his genre. It’s a fine line between being bold and being plain desperate. I’m hoping...

I’ve heard their new album, and I’m not a huge fan of these fellas although I have to admit they do try to be unique. “Summertime” showcases their normal side, which is rarely heard as they opted for a more soulful alternative genre just like The Cure. This has The Cure...

This is strictly for fans of hardcore rap, a signature Dr Dre genre. I’m surprised Dre roped in Akon but I suppose the price of being commercial these days. Also, I’m not a fan of Snoop Dogg’s style of rapping either. I think Dre’s Eminem is more accomplished than Snoop...

Loick Essien, a unique name with yet another mid-tempo rhythm-powered R&B to add to the current genre where similarity is the order of the day. There’s nothing distinctly different with his vocals, but the tune, has some elements of attractiveness to it. DOWNLOAD Loick Essien –...
