I think the chorus knocks the song off the park but I can’t help linking this song to Rebecca Black’s Friday in some parts as the lyrics are weak. It could be a written as satire blending with the weak verses and then comes the bridge and chorus which takes up the catchiness level...
Jay-Z & Kanye West featuring Frank Ocean – Made In America (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I like this song and its chorus which has prayerful lyrics and the melody to compliment the track thanks to the combination of Jay-Z and Kanye West, both artists whom I don’t really rate. And because of that, I think it would’ve been better had Frank Ocean did a solo without the...
Mohombi – In Your Bed (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I’m not sure whether to laugh or be angry as the blasphemous attempt by Mohombi to desecrate one of the best songs ever written by the one-hit wonder, Cranberries. Sorry Cranberries fans, their other songs do not count and are not event close enough to being classics! Mohombi changes the...
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...
Play-N-Skillz – She Goes On (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Another song samples Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ albeit without the same lyrics. Play-N-Skills mashes it with the hip hop dance or hippity hoppity as I would call it – hip hop with dance elements. I think this song’s OK, but that’s because it samples one...
Rock City – Happy Ending (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I’m loving this chorus, it’s really catchy and it could be Rock City’s best effort to date. The lyrics are quite heartwarming, which is rare for songs like this. I don’t mind putting it on a rewind for the next couple of days, decent stuff. DOWNLOADÂ Rock City –...
Beyonce – Best Thing I Never Had (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This is probably Beyonce’s catchiest song in a spade of new songs slowly making its way to the internet – I’m guessing it’s from her upcoming album, or worst-case, demos that didn’t make the cut. I’m not a fan of “Run the World” – too weird...
Range – I Just Called (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Decent track by Range. I haven’t heard much of him before. Some portions reminds me of that Stevie Wonder song – I Just Called to Say I Love You, but not the lyrics and neither the music. The beat’s chilled out too. DOWNLOADÂ Range – I Just Called Mp3...
Drew (of Varsity) – Heart Hotel (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Not a bad song – I like the chorus and the melody compliments it nicely. The verses are just above average and the one thing that annoys me is the lyrics – which is quite amateur and non-sensical. “Heart Hotel” can grow on you as it did with me – enough for me to...
Taio Cruz – Telling The World (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
The part when Taio Cruz sings “She’s the one” is painfully annoying but the chorus more than makes up for the annoyance. I also love the bridge with an African theme in some portions of the song. I always find musicians who repeat lyrics are a bunch of copouts, as is songs...
Laura Story – Friend of Sinners (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
It’s very rare that an upbeat pop rock tune mixes well with a religious theme. Laura Story does just that, and she does it well. While her album’s not as strong as this track, I like how she delivers the song and I must say the lyrics are top-notch too in some parts while some...
J.L. & Mackey – Back 2 The Future (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I’m liking this track with its mellowed delivery although I’m not sure for how long. While it’s catchy, there’s a tendency of you to get bored after listening to it a few times. The lyrics are pretty decent about not staying in the past and re-focusing life and love...
