Nicole Scherzinger – Funky Town (Mp3 Download) Review

Big chorus, big melody, typical of Nicole Scherzinger. Unfortunately, there isn’t much soul to it, if you’re looking for something soulful, this is obviously the wrong song. It’s a track that you do not need to dissect and just enjoy it at face value – good fun plus...

Eminem featuring Bruno Mars and Royce Da 5’9 – Lighters (Mp3 Download) Review

Put your lighters up. Not sure if I would do that if I heard this song. It lacks originality, with Eminem yet again relying on slower melody to deliver his performance, not that it’s a bad thing, especially if it’s his trademark, but it can get boring. Bruno Mars is similarly...

Chris Medina – What Are Words (Mp3 Download) Review

It’s a ear-pleaser for sure. Just Medina, the piano and a little bit of orchestra – the focus is more on his vocals and the melody, which I think is excellent. These days, music like these are hard to come by, slow, stripped and catchy. Apparently Chris Medina was a contestant on...

Owl City – The Real World (Mp3 Download) Review

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...

Kevin Cossom – Rule The World (Mp3 Download) Review

Another song that COULD’VE been better had it done right. Tears For Fears, a 2-hit wonder, “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” were 2 brilliant tunes. Cossom samples the second song with a limp that you feel like smacking him with a rubber duckie....

Drew (of Varsity) – Heart Hotel (Mp3 Download) Review

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...

Mandisa – Stronger (Mp3 Download) Review

It’s a strong album that Mandisa dishes out. Full of soulful verves commingled with a powerful voice, I’m liking it. There are 2 standout tracks for me, and this, is one of them. Nice theme, good melody, excellent vocals – nice one Mandisa! DOWNLOAD Mandisa –...

Kesha – Get In Line (Mp3 Download) Review

Some parts will remind you of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” – the melody of that chorus. I know music fans are divided when it comes to Kesha – either love her or hate her. I’m neither, I just like her, especially her debut track which was catchy. All songs...

Detail (of Konvict) – Happy (Mp3 Download) Review

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...

Ne-Yo – You’re A Star (Mp3 Download) Review

I’m not a fan of Ne-Yo, his works does not really impress me. This song though isn’t too tatty although it’s not a big a deal melody-wise. Lyrics though, it’s perfect for ladies who want to move on from a broken relationship of sorts. DOWNLOAD Ne-Yo –...

Karl Wolf – Ghetto (Mp3 Download) Review

I liked his remake of Toto’s Africa and Michael Simbello’s Maniac but I never rated his own work. This track, Ghetto, has a melody that has been copied and regurgitated. It reminds me of Karl Wolf’s remake of Africa actually. While I’m not hugely impressed with the...

Nelly Furtado featuring Elton John – Crocodile Rock (Mp3 Download) Review

This is one of my favorite songs, but not the original tune from Elton John, that Beach Boys’ rendition which blew me away! Now Nelly Furtado takes a stab at it with the help of Elton John, and I’m not personally liking it as Furtado doesn’t do justice to the song itself,...
