"Me, You, & The Music" ~ Jessica Sanchez (album...
“Me, You, & The Music” is the debut album of American Idol Jessica Sanchez. It’s a solid debut and introduction to what Jessica can do in the studio. While stylistically it’s a bit generic, most of the songs are strong and Jessica’s talents are as strong as they were on television.
Sanchez melts pure pop and contemporary R&B together, and performs both ballads and upbeat dance songs....

Paramore ~ self-titled (album review)
Paramore’s self-titled fourth album is a strong follow up to the band’s third release “Brand New Eyes”. The band’s sound has changed a bit. Not surprising, since the band’s members have changed. Instead of a straight pop-punk sound, elements of electronic rock, retro new wave, and indie pop have been incorporated into their usual sound. I do miss the...

"Authentic" ~ LL Cool J (album review)
It’s hard to believe, but LL Cool J has been in the rap game for almost 30 years. His first album, Radio, was released in 1985. LL Cool J’s most innovative contribution to hip-hop was being one of the first rappers to combine elements of R&B balladry with rap. Cool J is now on his thirteenth album with “Authentic”.
“Authentic” has the most number of guest stars of any LL album. Not...

"Wheelhouse" ~ Brad Paisley (album review)
“Wheelhouse”, Brad Paisley’s latest album, exceeded my expectations. I really liked Brad’s last two albums, and this one is just as good. Brad experiments a bit on this album. Different genres are explored. The sonic textures of some of the songs are atypical of country. However, most of the album is still pop friendly and catchy. As usual, Brad tells some great stories and can play guitar...

"Pioneer" ~ The Band Perry (album review)
“Pioneer”, The Band Perry’s second album, is definitely not a sophomore slump. In fact, it’s better than their first album. The first album was great, but “Pioneer” is a more a mature product. The lyrics are stronger, and the band now has a grittier sound. The band has a long career ahead of them.
Like their previous work, country is blended with pop and rock. The upbeat numbers were made to be...

"The Best Damn Thing" ~ Avril Lavigne (retro album...
“The Best Damn Thing”, Avril Lavigne’s third album, is one of the best pop-rock albums of 2007. It’s short and sweet, at 12 tracks and 40 minutes. The album is irresistible from start to finish. The tunes are always lighthearted and mostly peppy. Avril’s usual feisty attitude makes them even more irresistible. This album’s lighthearted nature is a contrast of the music on Lavigne’s...

"The 20/20 Experience" ~ Justin Timberlake (album...
Justin Timberlake’s third album “The 20/20 Experience” has gotten rave reviews from all my music fiends on Twitter. However, I didn’t enjoy it as much as them. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy it; I actually enjoyed much of it. But there were many things that I hated about it.
First, the things I liked: Timberlake is a talented performer. His voice and falsetto is excellent. The whole album has...

"Gold" ~ Britt Nicole (album review)
Although Britt Nicole is considered a Christian pop artist, her third album “Gold” is being marketed to the mainstream pop market as well. So far, the attempt at crossover success has paid off – the title track “Gold” has gotten airplay on top 40 stations and Radio Disney. I can’t remember the last time a religious artist has had success in mainstream pop.
There are no direct references to...

"Tornado" ~ Little Big Town (album review)
“Tornado” is Little Big Town’s fifth album, but is the album where the country group has achieved the most success. The album’s first single “Pontoon” reached #1 on the country charts. The second single, “Tornado”, had entered the top 10. “Pontoon” is a catchy little song about having fun of a boat, complete with a double-entendre (“Mmmm, motorboatin’!).
There isn’t a weak track on the entire...

"good kid, m.A.A.d city' ~ Kendrick Lamar (album...
Kendrick Lamar’s first official album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d. city’ is one excellent piece of work. Lamar’s talents as a vivid story teller and lyricist shine through. That is combined with strong and sonically appealing beats. Lamar is complimented with many excellent producers, Dre, Hit-Boy, and Pharrell among them.
I’m not normally a fan of West Coast Hip-Hop, but its sound is untypical of...

"Heartthrob" ~ Tegan and Sara (album review)
Tegan & Sara’s album “Heartthrob” is the indie duo’s attempt at a more mainstream pop sound. Now is a good time to do so. Many artists (fun., Gotye, Ellie Goulding) that have achieved number one hits recently have done so with songs that find a middle ground between indie and mainstream pop. And Tegan & Sara do the same on this album. It’s mostly pop, but still retains indie elements....
