Grits::Reiterate

Reviews

Artist Grits
Title Reiterate
Label Revolution Arts
Reiterate, the 8th album from duo Teron “Bonafide” Carter and Stacy “Coffee” Jones, reiterates their love for music, hip-hop, and God. I know what you’re thinking, but no, Grits doesn’t sound half bad like most Christian hip-hop artists. Listening to the CD, I realize Grits captures the essence of...

Her Space Holiday::XOXO Panda and the New Kid Revival

Reviews

Artist Her Space Holiday
Title XOXO Panda and the New Kid Revival
Label Mush Records
Before listening to Her Space Holiday’s XOXO Panda & The New Kid Revival I was expecting the electronic shoegazeish sound that we’ve all come to expect from Marc Bianchi and company, but after listening to the first track, The New Kid Revival, all my previous expectations went out the window. ...

It Hugs Back::Inside Your Guitar

Reviews

Artist It Hugs Back
Title Inside Your Guitar
Label 4AD Records
A peek behind the tattered veil, if you will: when I play a CD for the first time for review I make some notes of my initial impressions. Nothing heavy, mind you, just a few jots to refer to later, after I’ve been through it a couple of times, just...

Kylie Minogue::Boombox

Reviews

Artist Kylie Minogue
Title Boombox
Label Parlophone/Capitol
Kylie Minogue.  Really, what is there to say about her other than amazing? Not only is she a pop star who has been around since the 80s, but she has also been a film/tv star and has battled breast cancer.  She is truly amazing; just like her new cd Boom...

Lea Marie::Lea Marie

Reviews

Artist Lea Marie
Title Lea Marie
Label Lea Marie Music
The self-titled debut album by Lea Marie is released in spring 2009 with all 12 annoyingly bad songs. At only 16, (possibly 17 by now), Lea Marie receives praise from critics for her hard work, dedication and talent, being compared to the likes of Britney Spears and Madonna. Wait a...

Madeleine Peyroux::Bare Bones

Reviews

Artist Madeleine Peyroux
Title Bare Bones
Label Rounder Records
I first heard Madeleine Peyroux on a radio in a New Orleans hotel room around midnight. I was almost asleep and her fabulous cover of Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” from CARELESS LOVE started playing, sounding like an unreleased Billie Holiday cut. Obviously, this was...

Paul Bryan::Listen Of

Reviews

Artist Paul Bryan
Title Listen Of
Label Sonar Kollektiv
Have you ever watched those “That 70s Show” episodes where FEZ (the foreign exchange student) sings in some musical with his thick accent? Well, not to be judgmental or overly shallow, but that is exactly what Paul Bryan sounds like. Bryan, hailing from Germany, sings strictly in English, and has...

Sam Roberts::Love At The End of The World

Reviews

Artist Sam Roberts
Title Love at the End of the World
Label Universal
Love At the End of the World, the third major label release by Canadian rocker Sam Roberts, sticks closely to his tradition of straight forward, no frills rock and roll. Roberts 2002 album, Inhuman Condition, eventually became the largest selling independent release in Canadian history. Garnering comparisons to everyone from...
