LL Cool J, I thoroughly enjoyed his 2004 outing, especially “Headsprung”. His next album, Exit 13, is due to be released at the end of July 2008. I believe this is the first single off the album, featuring The Dream. The chorus may not have the lyrical power, in fact, it’s...
Lights – Drive My Soul
posted by Gallivanter
“When you’re gone, will I lose control?”. It’s a pretty decent track by this independent Canadian artiste, and by the sound of things, should do rather well in the music charts. Lights – Drive My Soul Seems somebody put out the moon Now the road is a minefield I...
Keri Hilson – Energy
posted by Gallivanter
Keri Hilson, has been writing songs for God-knows how long. She finally decides to launch her debut solo album, In a Perfect World. The first single, is “Energy”, which is rather catchy in its own way. Some of you may heard her voice in Xzibit’s Hey Now Mean Muggin,...
David Cook – Straight Ahead
posted by Gallivanter
“So take a minute just to breathe and think of everything you wanted.” – David Cook. I reviewed David Cook’s Analog Heart, a 2006 effort, a few days ago, after Cook became the first American Idol from the rock genre. I was delighted, because I rate David Cook, a much...
Pussycat Dolls – When I Grow Up
posted by Gallivanter
[ad] I love this track – it’s so danceable and it’s distinctive Pussycat Dolls, their first track off their upcoming second album, “To Those Who Wait”. This song is nothing short of catchy, and it oozes with catchy hooks and rhythm. Pussycat Dolls – When I...
New Kids on the Block – Summertime
posted by Gallivanter
Oh no! They’re back after almost 14 years in the wilderness. I have to admit that the song that I liked the most from them was the light-hearted “Cover Girl”, well, any 13 year old would’ve liked it. Having said that, I still do, simply because it brings back childhood...
Dave Barnes – Until You
posted by Gallivanter
This song was written by Dave Barnes in his previous album back in 2004. He has just released his new album and re-recorded this track, which I think is pretty decent. The first line of the chorus is similar to Bon Jovi’s first line chorus of “Mystery Train”, a Jon Bon Jovi...
Donna Summer – The Queen is Back
posted by Gallivanter
It’s been ages since we’ve had any new Donna Summer material. From cool tunes like “Hot Stuff”, “Enough is Enough”, “She Works Hard for the Money” in the past, the queen is back. The first single, “Stamp Your Feet”, has a good beat,...
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
posted by Gallivanter
“We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” That’s Jason Mraz’s latest album, that I reviewed a few days ago. The best song on the album is also it’s first single, which was released in February 2008. Some of you may already heard it, but, here’s to some of you...
The Offspring – Hammerhead
posted by Gallivanter
I love The Offspring, they’ve been one of my favorite bands since the dawn of “Come Out & Play” back in 1994. “Hammerhead” is the first single from their upcoming album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. You can get download this tune off The Offspring’s...
Rihanna – Hynotized
posted by Gallivanter
I’m not sure whether this is officially Rihanna’s next album, titled “Hotness”. If it is, then I must say I’m not wowed by it. Well, I wasn’t wowed by her previous effort either. “Umbrella” is definitely one of the most annoying songs in recent...
Story of the Year – Tell Me
posted by Gallivanter
Another song that I like from this hard-rock band, Story of the Year. I love the hook to it, sometimes I end up day-dreaming that I’m on the lead guitar jamming in a rock concert. This is one of those adrenalin-rushing songs. I reviewed the latest album and blogged about...
