I’ve had a mixed view of Rihanna since she burst on to the scene last year with the hugely successful Umbrella. I know she’d been around before that (figuratively speaking) but I’d never heard of her.
At first, I rallied against the popularity, and found the song dull, and highly unoriginal. But it grew on me, […]
Pendulum are a new Australian band who have relocated to the UK as they know it is the Mecca of decent music. Just ask Dave over at Brit Music Scene, oh hang on that’s me! However, don’t tell Lauren at Oz Music Scene, or she’ll kill me.
After starting as producers and remixers, they are now […]
Before I can start seriously talking about this song and video, I have to get two things out of the way first:
1. What a stupid name for a song. Not only does it read as if Paris is in Tokyo, when we know it’s really in Germany, but it’s a lazy name. There’s no thought […]
It’s the end of April, yes, another month has gone by. So I thought I’d take us back in time a little while for today’s review, with Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
This is like a genre all to itself, with a strong operatic voice singing over the top of some classic rock guitars. Call […]
Adele and Duffy both seemed to come from nowhere and burst on to the music scene in the wake of the success enjoyed by Amy Winehouse on both sides of the Atlantic.
In terms of first singles, Duffy was more successful, with Mercy making it to number one in the British singles chart. I personally preferred […]
Kanye West seems to have turned in to collaboration man lately, only being able to release songs if someone else is there with him holding his hand.
But now, he’s back on his own, and with a single that shows the man has more talent in his right pinky than a swathe of the current breed […]
We don’t normally get any Ashlee Simpson songs released over here in the UK, maybe because her record company realises they are too crap to release anywhere but America.
However, they have seen fit to release this little pop gem called Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya), and I’m glad they did.
I know what you’re thinking […]
If I see one more R’n’B/Rap video which just follows the same plot, and ticks all the necessary boxes without offering anything different from all the other similar songs, I think I’m going to go mad.
Oh hang on, it’s too late as I’ve just watched Sexy Can I from Ray J and can already feel […]
Any regular readers of this site (if there is any, I’m not sure judging by the lack of comments I get) will know that I’m not a big fan of the current generation of Rap/R’n’B artists around.
It’s just that most of them are generic and pretty untalented, just putting the same crap out there as […]
This is going to split people right down the middle. Not literally of course, that would just be sick, but it will divide people between those who love this video, and those who hate it.
Whichever camp you’re in, you can’t fail to realise what a stroke of genius it is, both in content and delivery.
Old […]
