Can a female singer sound black and white at the same time? The same question was asked in 1983, when Madonna appeared on the scene. Apparently that question can signal universality of appeal and longevity of career. It did for Madonna, and I think it could for Duffy, one of the latest of a recent astonishing parade of girl singers from the British Isles who sound like Billie Holiday with modern muscle.

Whereas Billie was generally portrayed as a victim, these new singers reveal the conflict between being someone's "lover" and their own "person". In "Rockferry", Duffy sounds like the ghost of a 60's singer who has risen up in 2008 to find that she feels perfectly at home. In this track we first hear her unique voice and style, girlishly innocent but carrying the weight of ... Read More

I've been loving listening to Dreaming Wide Awake for a few years, and this new album reaches far beyond that. The Orchard exhibits a depth and richness, both musically and lyrically, that makes it undeniably my favorite album to come out in a long, long time. I look forward to hearing what Ms. Wright's future work, and her collaborations with the gifted songwriter Toshi Reagon and producer Craig Street, will gift to us!

It isn't often you find an entire album that is really really great. This one definitely is a GREAT album through and through. She has a beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics, and a beautiful "spirit" that truly shines through in her music.

We always bought and will continue buy Al Green. He is an icon in music, he sings with his heart and soul.

I have to say that I didn't expect to like this album, even after hearing good reviews from friends about it. Well, I'm really glad I gave it a shot, it's a wonderful, mature album and I basically like every song. Usher did a great job this time around.

I love this CD. I became a fan last year, hearing his music for the 1st time. This new CD blows me away. It is one of the best I have heard in years. I love many different music genres, but this one beats them all hands down.

Though the singing is great and the instrumental pleasing throughout, this CD doesn't quite match the lofty standards set by his first two CDs.

But it is still a strong album and, after a few more listens, grew on me so much that it's now on constant rotation at my house. Highlights include "Listen," "Baby I want You," "What's Been Going On," and "Better Days."

Give it a try. It gratifies in a way most music cannot.

Typical, incredible Morrison. As always, the more I listen the deeper the meaning . . . 'stretching time stretching time . . .'

Back to black is so brilliant musically, both Amy's songs and her performance of them. It absolutely blows me away. The only weak spot is the needlessly explicit lyrics, for example in Me and Mr. Jones, "mockery" would have been so much more timeless than "f-ery", and really would have made as much or more sense. The needless use of the f word grates a bit, and simply makes it impossible to play this song in public or in front of most audiences, and it's such a shame not to be able to play this musically brilliant song for one's kids. Amy Winehouse is an absolutely amazing talent, if only she can get free of the drugs, alcohol, the absolutely horrible anorexia, destructive hangers-on, and paparazzi....It is so heartbreaking to see how she looks now and the state she's got herself in. She's turning herself into ... Read More

The real fans purchase the albums in the first few weeks of their release & 6 months down the track the casual fans get expanded (better) editions. The record companies are trying to get money out of the fans twice for just a little bit of extra content. Every one feels sorry for the record companies with all this illegal downloading going on at the moment. Why should we feel sorry for them when they are ripping off the real fans. Someone mentioned that we should purchase the 3 extra tracks on mp3. RUBBISH. It would be only fair that these extra tracks should be available free for download even if it meant somehow proving purchase. I'm sure 6 months down the track there will be an expanded version of Usher's new CD like there were for his last 2 CDs. Chris Brown, Fergie etc are all releasing expanded versions. It ... Read More
