Right now Estelle is sitting pretty at the top of the British music charts, and is liable to do just as well in America with the help of her collaboration with Kanye West on American Boy.
But she’s actually been around for a few years now, and had a couple of songs enter the charts back […]

Is it Easter today? Oh crap, I’d better get to the shops and buy some Easter eggs for my nearest and dearest then. Or I could just listen to Easter by Marillion.
I’m reviewing this song today for no other reason than it is Easter Sunday, it’s as simple as that. I bet lead singer Steve […]

With a title like Love Song, this track needs to tick certain boxes for me:-
1. It needs to be a song - SCORE
2. It needs to be about love - SCORE
3. It needs to be good enough to warrant such a generic title as Love Song - MISS
This isn’t really a bad song, but it’s […]

The Futureheads are an amazing British band who have taken a whole host of influences, as well as their own style, and fine tuned it in to a unique sound.
They’re just about to embark on a UK tour, and have a new single out, but I thought we should go old school, and revisit what […]

This song is one of those that leaves me with a feeling of why did they bother? It never gets going, just repeating the same words from beginning to end.
The only thing that almost saves it is the appearance of Luciana at the end, but she’s not in it nearly enough to make up for […]

Are you wondering why this song has the ‘08 suffix? Because it’s already been out about 4 times, and without the 08, how would us oldies (I’m 30) know how to tell the difference?
Actually I can easily tell the difference, as in an attempt to update the sound for the day and age (make pot […]

Oh great I thought, Britney Spears has released another episode in the ’she’s going mad, and her singles are getting progressively worse’ soap opera that become her life.
But wait, what’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? No, she’s grown her hair back now, but it is a decent […]

It’s time for another dose of retro heaven today on Killed By The Video Star, as we go back to the days when Fred Durst actually had some credibility. Yes, those days did exist.
This isn’t my favourite Limp Bizkit video, but it is probably the best known one, and the song still gets played in […]

I so wanted to hate Leona Lewis’ album when it came out, because so much hyperbole had been surrounding her since she won The X Factor talent show in the UK.
However, the album is brilliant, and you can’t take anything away from her talent, as she has a simply beautiful singing voice which is hard […]

Buckcherry are a new band on me, I’ve never heard of them! It seems like they’re one of those weird groups who seem destined to just stay in the States.
I only know about this song, Sorry, (no, I’m not apologising, that’s the title) because of I regularly check Billboard to review videos that my American […]
