I cried to this song countless of times in the past, especially coming to grips with the death of my father when I was a child in 1986. It still hurts listening to this song and it’s one of a handful of songs that will never fail to bring me to tears – even know as I write it, I am...
Rihanna – Roc Me Out (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Another powerful vocal masterpiece by Rihanna. While it’s not as brilliant as “Drunk on Love“, it packs a lot of punch and pizzazz that made her famous in the past, pre-Chris Brown era. She’s matured a lot and I can’t believe she’s only 23 years...
Nickelback – When We Stand Together (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The verse sounds like Nickelback’s poor attempt of copying their own melody from previous songs despite the slight redeeming factor in the chorus. The lyrics are kinda lame for this muttly-looking-poodle Chad Kroeger. It’s just too tepid for my liking, they can simply do better....
Willow Smith featuring Nicki Minaj – Fireball (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
This is hot off the oven! Nicki Minaj adds spice to this already banging track by Willow Smith, making her family really proud. I never rated her songs in the past, but with a kick the ball tune like this, dang, I hope she makes it. The music scene needs more character. DOWNLOAD Willow Smith...
1989 : Elton John – Sacrifice (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
One of Elton John’s best ballad, if not, his best ever. Brilliant stuff by a man from the past whose been trying in vain to remain relevant for the past 10 years. His best is clearly behind him, like most artistes. But, his best trumps most current artistes out there. DOWNLOAD Elton...
1995 : CJ Lewis – R to the A (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
R to the A to the G to the G to the A Hey! CJ Lewis had his fair share of success in the 90s with a string of hits with tunes sampled from the past. While this song isn’t my favorite from him, I prefer “Calm Water”, if it comes on in any clubs, I would dance for the heck of...
Nelly Furtado – Time Stand Still (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
A tepid effort by Nelly Furtado after she gave us a couple of highs in the past with delectable tunes. In this track, she sounds like Madonna back in the 80s, while some may like it, most would be confused. While Nelly Furtado doesn’t have a good voice, she knows how to works it,...
Jessica Mauboy – Run (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I have reviewed 2 of her songs in the past and they were forgettable. How does she fare in this one? I would say slightly better and by the sound of things she’s heading in the right direction. Not bad. DOWNLOAD Jessica Mauboy – Run Mp3...
Def Leppard – Undefeated (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Def Leppard’s just released Mirrorball, a live album of their best songs of the past, plus 3 new songs. Of the 3 songs, “Kings of the World” – an extremely pathetic attempt to sound like Queen, copying the styles of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was just a stupid...
Jordin Sparks – I Am Woman (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This could arguably be one of Jordin Sparks’ better songs to date but also in danger of trying to sound too much like Beyonce. However, it’s a refreshing change from her with all her slow mid-tempo songs in the past that made her sound one-dimensional. While it’s not a catchy...
How Do You Know if You’ve Found the One?
posted by Gallivanter
How can you tell if you have found the one for you? When you have both gone through and survived the infatuation period, where you both are hopelessly in love with being hopelessly in love! You have both been totally honest with each other, and didn’t lose each other along the way. You...
Screwing up a Relationship
posted by Gallivanter
Even I had my share of mistakes. Relationship is all about achieving the right balance, and staying off potential minefields. One wrong move and you’re blown to bits like Malaysian’s National Alliance parties (actually they made many wrong moves but that’s a different...
