X (Bonus Track)
Tue, 08 Apr 2008 06:52:30
Kylie Minogue sure has come a long way since her days doin' "The Locomotion." The songstress is pretty much highly revered pop royalty in the UK, and she recently valiantly battled her way back from a debilitating bout with breast cancer. X is her tenth studio album, and it illustrates how Minogue ...more
Asking for Flowers
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:50:15
For whatever reason—and possibly a number of them—Canadian alt-country singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards shifts her gaze on her third album, turning more outward than inward. Whereas her past albums, 2002's Failer and 2005's Back to Me (both highly recommended), found their footing with ...more
Kingdom of Sorrow
Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:41:29
Kingdom Of Sorrow is the brainchild of Hatebreed's hardcore hero Jamey Jasta and Down/Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein. Now, slow your roll before you go writing this band off and erroneously thinking that Kingdom Of Sorrow is a miscast combo of tough guy hardcore with posi lyrics yelled over ...more
Made of Bricks
Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:49:44
With a speedy rise to stardom propelled by MySpace, a pronounced British accent and cheeky, conversational story songs, Kate Nash might find it hard to avoid comparisons to "Smile" singer Lily Allen. But while both ladies' debut albums are undoubtedly original (and already adored by UK audiences), ...more
Cotton Eyed Joe
Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:32:07
In the last five years, Karen Dalton’s reputation has transformed from that of an obscure '60s folk singer, remembered only by collectors and fellow musicians, to a tragically misunderstood genius. The two albums she released during her lifetime—It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the ...more
Sawdust
Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:46:51
For a compilation of b-sides, covers and rarities, Sawdust feels oddly complete. The album showcases some of The Killers' most intriguing and infectious fare and is more immediately accessible than their sophomore offering Sam's Town. In fact, the release almost could have served as the follow-up to ...more
Make Sure They See My Face
Tue, 16 Oct 2007 16:54:15
It's been four years since Kenna released New Sacred Cow, a genre-skipping fit of neo-soul, new-wave and pop, all produced by the non-Pharrell half of primo production team, The Neptunes. But while having Chad Hugo (a high school classmate of Kenna's) helm the record might have seemed like a ...more
Rock N Roll Jesus
Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:30:08
"It's the same song spinning / but the same song's always been true." This is taken from the title track of Kid Rock's new album, Rock 'n Roll Jesus, and it's hard not to interpret it as an argument in favor of Rock's entire career up until this point. Kid Rock will never be accused of having the ...more
Kevin Michael
Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:59:24
Kevin Michael's self-titled debut album is like the first day of a soul food feast. The ingredients are right and it's made from the heart, but it still needs time for the flavor to fully develop. This all makes sense considering his relatively young age. Thankfully, the funky soul and pop fusion ...more
