K’Naan, who made a name for himself when he released a tune that formed the soundtrack to the recent World Cup, finally releases a number of tunes, but this track, a collaboration with Nelly Furtado is the highlight. DOWNLOAD K’Naan ft Nelly Furtado – Is Anybody Out There...
1982 : Madness – Our House (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
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...
1991 : Riff – My Heart is Failing Me (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
I remember this tune kept on playing in my head while I was sitting for a major school examination to the point it became really annoying. I hate it when I can’t get a tune out of my head although I think this is an excellent R&B track. DOWNLOAD Riff – My Heart is Failing Me...
1971 : Three Dog Night – Joy to the World (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
If you haven’t heard of this song, you might think it’s a Christmas carol by the name, but when the intro goes, “Jeremiah was a bullfrog” you’ll realize it’s a song that doesn’t make sense. But it’s bloody catchy! Joy to the fishes in the deep...
JLS – Proud (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
A very teeny-bopper idealistic song which will reach out to young girls who are trying to find their way in the world, with young boys that they can relate to. I say girls because the lyrics are very girly despite it’s sung by a boyband. However, I’m sure there are exceptions to...
DJ Christion ft Ace Hood, Fat Joe & Famous Kid Brick – In This Bitch (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Damn. It’s been a while since I heard a rap tune, a good one with excellent beats with lyrical waxing. Is the word “bitch” vulgar if it’s used this way, to describe a place? Come on ma nigga, this is a shot caller of fun-pumping proportions. DOWNLOAD DJ Christion ft Ace...
1978 : Boney M – Brown Girl in the Ring (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
A song whose lyrics do not make any sense, I wonder if it was a direct translation of an old Jamaican children’s ring game cause that’s what it was. This tune was Boney M’s B-Side to “Rivers of Babylon”, and both were excellent tracks outright. I grew up dancing...
Taio Cruz – Body Heat (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The beat’s crackalakin’! The vocals though is so unlike Taio Cruz compared with his releases of late, seem a little higher in pitch. However, get ready to jam to this tune as someone in here as turn it up! DOWNLOAD Taio Cruz – Body Heat Mp3...
Jackie Boyz – Human Nature (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
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...
40 Cal featuring Nicki Minaj – Lolli (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
This is as sexually innuendo as one can get, I recalled a tune called “Milkshake” – I hated it yet it was catchy. Here’s Nicki Minaj’s turn at talking about a man’s tongue and her keenness in hiring the person for some ooh la la. DOWNLOAD 40 Cal ft Nicki...
Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake – Latte (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I don’t know. Madonna sounds like she sings “Layla” in the chorus. Something just doesn’t gel for this tune to take the world by storm. Maybe she’s trying NOT to jump onto the dance hip hop bandwagon by creating her own bandwagon, a dated one I might add. Strictly...
The Dream – Let’s Go (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The beat and the delivery of the chorus makes it a catchy tune. In some instance The Dream sounds like Chris Brown and that’s a compliment by the way he approaches the song. I’m liking it. DOWNLOAD The Dream – Let’s Go Mp3...
