[Review] Confessions of A Shopaholic Soundtrack

Ideas

Pop coming back is so clear with more and more signs, and now, a full of pop hits album, that is what I am talking right now, brilliant! The soundtrack features some new chick in the industry, includes Jordyn Taylor who still is unsigned with any labels, Jessica James who will debut with her 1st single in March09, Adrienne Bailon, one of The Cheetah Girls, wants to step out of the shadow. All of them delivers, delivers in their most energetic of young. Beside that, the soundtrack also contains some of the biggest stars: The Pussycat Dolls, Natasha Bedingfield, Lady Gaga, Rihanna; and some well-known: Kat Deluna, Shontelle, Trey Songz.

This masterpiece full of pop-dance-funky music which takes fashion as the main theme (Accesory, Fashion, Blue Jeans, Big Spender) and plus two incredible ballad-midtempo tracks: Again, Takes Time To Love. As we expected, this will be huge and can be comparable with Step Up soundtracks, HSM soundtracks.

[Review] It's Not Me. It's You - Lily Allen

It's Not Me It's You - Lily Allen

It's Not Me, It's You has been met with good reviews from critics. Reviewing for The Observer, Garry Mulholland awarded the album five out of five, calling this a "wonderful record," and added that it is "a pop album brave enough to have a go at defining the times." Clash concluded: "Britain’s mouthy pop idol returns triumphantly and with the brawny guts to stick with what she knows best", after commenting that Allen "probably has enough personal ammunition to fuel a ten-year career of brutally autobiographical albums".

The album was favourably reviewed by The Telegraph, Neil McCormick praised her more personal songs on the album; "It is when she turns her sharp tongue to her own affairs of the heart that Allen's growing adventurousness and lyrical confidence really pay off....But in particular Who'd Have Known is a tender evocation of friendship turning to love, in which the detail is telling and Allen's vocal performance positively glows with easy affection. On such songs, Allen still sounds like a real person telling us the most intimate details of her real life, only with better hooks." McCormick also praised the lead single, as "superb" and "an ironic declaration of celebrity superficiality set to a pulsing, sleekly modern electro dance backing.

[Review] Scream - Chris Cornell

Scream - Chris Cornell

After his previous album "Carry On" (2007), Chris backs with a contact with Timbaland by the suggestion of former producer Rick Rubin just for some remixes. However, the collaboration evolved into the duo writing and recording an entire album in just six weeks with "much more R&B-oriented direction, with busy drum machine beats, buffed-up chorus vocals and string samples filling the nooks and crannies"- Billboard.

Doing this album is like playing a poker game for Chris. One for all, he will get his mark or lose everything, the future will decide with his abandonment his own "alternative-rock" fans. The album again brings some talented beats from Timbaland, but (there are always "but"), his talent must be put on the right situation for the full effects. "His talent" in this album blows away Chris's talent - his rock-god voice. After 5 (yes, FIVE) buzz/promo singles, what he got is one star, from his true fans, five stars, from his "wider audiences" - his plan.

In my opinions, who just listen to him the first time (Scream, definitely), this album is really attractive with One Republic style. My favourite songs are: Climbing Up The Walls, Sweet Revenge and the upcoming single - Part Of Me. They appear with flawless chorus accompanied with his unique voice, and the produce part will be scandalous part from all over.
