Smith and Burrows – Only You (Song Review)

A remake of the Flying Pickets’ classic, “Only You”. I like the haunting combination of the lead singer’s voice with the melody. One of the better cover versions, it cannot be compared to the original simply because of the difference of delivery. Both are nice in their...

StooShe featuring Travie McCoy – Love Me (Song Review)

I dig it. StooShee is a 3-piece British group and managed to get Travie McCoy to deliver the rap, which is a nice touch. I’m always biased with tunes that has a retro-throwback, like this track, very 70s feel with modern elements. I think it’ll be a hit. DOWNLOAD StooShe ft Travie...

Relationship Status (Movie Review) Jan09

Relationship Status (Movie Review)

I never liked locally produced Malaysian movies simply for the fact that they’re rubbish of the highest order without any substance, except for the late Yasmin Ahmad though I think some of her movies were overrated. Khairil Bahar who wrote and directed it made the flow understandable in...

Jackie Boyz – Human Nature (Song Review)

The beat’s nice but I don’t believe Jackie Boyz has brought anything different to this Michael Jackson classic – unlike how SWV brought it home in the early 90s. This cover version’s is so-so. If you want to relive this tune, either listen to MJ’s original or the...

Jars of Clay – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (Song Review)

I never expected such a pick-me-up Christmas carol cover by Jars of Clay of all bands. They sound like The Killers albeit a lite version. It’s a nice warm edition to your Christmas collection of carol. DOWNLOAD Jars of Clay – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Mp3...

Javier Colon featuring Adam Levine – Stand Up (Song Review)

A nice duet between mentor and student – Javier Colon, the winner of The Voice, teams up with his mentor Adam Levine of Maroon 5 for a decent tune which seems to tick all the right boxes if there ever was an ingredient to make a nice song. DOWNLOAD Javier Colon ft Adam Levine –...

Mike Posner – 21 Days (Song Review)

I’ve been mulling over the last few days whether to review this song because I’m not a fan of Mike Posner. However, this track has a nice laid-back vibe to it without doing much. I can’t help but feel the rhythm move me. DOWNLOAD Mike Posner – 21 Days Mp3...

The Saturdays featuring Travie McCoy – The Way You Watch Me (Song Review)

“On Your Radar”, a new album by The Saturdays, a British pop girl group, is so-so. There are some OK songs, nice to hear but if I put you to the test by asking you to hum the tune 5 minutes later, you’ll forget it. That pretty much sums up The Saturdays, who rely more on...

Cher Lloyd featuring Busta Rhymes – Grow Up (Song Review)

After “Swagger Jagger”, she releases another track, which, to me is personally more polished than the former. Roping in Busta Rhymes was a nice touch as he complimented Cher’s youthful delivery. DOWNLOAD Cher Lloyd featuring Busta Rhymes – Grow Up Mp3...

Alice Cooper featuring Kesha – What Baby Wants (Song Review)

This is taken off Alice Cooper’s new album, a surprising duet with Kesha of all people. I have to say that Alice Cooper has played his cards right on this one to rope in a present artist whose been successful to revive his music career, well, sort of. The chorus is catchy, the...

Jessica Mauboy featuring Stan Walker – Galaxy (Song Review)

I like this a lot and I think it’s Jessica Mauboy’s best track that I’ve heard so far. I find the chorus is uplifting and delivers some feel-good factor, which also helps to compliment Mauboy’s sweet delivery. It may not be a commercial success despite it having all the...

Mohombi – In Your Bed (Song Review)

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...
