The Fray – The Wind (Song Review)

Their latest album continues from where they left off, at the brink of boredom. While the leader singer has a decent voice, the band relies on one slow song too many and this is also apparent on their new album. If I had to pick out the best one, I think this is it. DOWNLOAD The Fray –...

Panah – Unbreakable (Song Review)

The verses are boring but the chorus will appeal to women who are trying to lift themselves up after being put in a self esteem washing machine by their loved one. DOWNLOAD Panah – Unbreakable Mp3...

Sean Paul featuring DJ Ammo – Touch The Sky (Song Review)

This is the fastest track on Sean Paul’s latest album, which is filled with mid-tempo blaze numbers that can make you fall asleep, as it sounds like one long ass song with intervals after 4 to 5 minutes. “She Doesn’t Mind” remains the best song off the album, and this...

Sean Paul featuring Kelly Rowland – How Deep Is Your Love (Song Review)

Sean Paul has just released his new album after being on a hiatus for a while. I like his “She Doesn’t Mind” tune, his first single. While this one doesn’t have as much oomph but it could give him a decent showing in the charts. DOWNLOAD Sean Paul ft Kelly Rowland...

1984 : Queen – I Want to Break Free (Mp3 Download) Jan29

1984 : Queen – I Want to Break Free (Mp3 Download)

You can never find a band like Queen, the most eclectic rock band ever – most of their songs are unique, so unique. While this track doesn’t command that uniqueness to the maximum extent like how Freddie Mercury likes to bring it, it is surely one of their best tracks. Oh how I...

1982 : John Mellencamp – Hurt So Good (Mp3 Download) Jan28

1982 : John Mellencamp – Hurt So Good (Mp3 Download)

The song was written by Mellencamp and George Green, a childhood friend. The song was first conceived, Mellencamp claims, in his shower and the first lines created were those of the chorus written by Mellencamp, he then said the lines to Green and they finished the song very quickly. This is...

1982 : Madness – Our House (Mp3 Download) Jan27

1982 : Madness – Our House (Mp3 Download)

This is one of my favorite British pop tunes from the 80s. The song’s lyrics mostly describe the working class family lifestyle, and the band acts them out by portraying such a family in the music video. There’s nothing deep about the track, just a fun tune all...

1996 : Awie – Tragedi Oktober (Mp3 Download) Jan24

1996 : Awie – Tragedi Oktober (Mp3 Download)

This is arguably Awie’s best song from his solo efforts when he’s not leading his band Wings, a local Malaysian rock outfit. The song’s written in Malay language and it’s about regrets and asking for forgiveness from a loved one. DOWNLOAD Awie – Tragedi Oktober...

1995 : Joey Tempest – A Place to Call Home (Mp3 Download) Jan21

1995 : Joey Tempest – A Place to Call Home (Mp3 Download)

He’s the lead singer of the rock band called Europe, and went to release a solo album in 1995 which I bought simply because of this song alone. Unfortunately, the other tracks aren’t any good but this one stood out for me to remain of my favorite light rock tunes. DOWNLOAD Joey...

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...

Bryan Michael Cox featuring State of Emergency – Angel (Song Review)

Wow, it’s been too long since a decent R&B ballad has ever been released as most music are caught up in the hype of hip hop mashed dance genres. Bryan Michael Cox’s always been behind the scenes, writing music for artists and his notable one is Mary J Blige’s “Be...

Shayne Ward – Save Me (Song Review)

Mushy. Eek. Strictly for fans of Shayne Ward as this ballad lacks originality in epic proportions, but you mushy fanatics of pop bubble gum ice cream hooha will enjoy it. With songs like this, one can’t help but wonder if Shayne Ward’s gay or just trying to get laid with...
