    Not So Lifted

    This album was an ‘ok’ album for me. Nothing that hit a ‘wow factor’ but I would pick a few songs out for a night of relaxing and grooving. This came at the height of Legend’s career and it was easy to get caught up in the hoopla.

  • The sophomore album from Monáe left me slightly disappointed but not turned off. Continuing with strong lyrics but sometimes the music overpowered the songs. I'm glad I did not go with my usual instincts (ignore anything promoted by Puffy Diddy). One thing I can thank him for32010/06/04

  • "Shontelligence" gave Dancehall, R&B, and Reggae and making this album slightly off. This album was good but it went from sexy to Dancehall, slightly political, then back to sexy. I was unsure how to feel. I did not know what to expect, but I did not expect this type of crazed balance. "Roll It" was the beginning of the switch up but I liked it. Dancehall gets the blood going, but the songs could have been mixed a little better.02010/05/05

  • "In a Perfect World…" left me wanting one filled with better albums. Not sure why, but the first impression from Keri Hilson's debut album is that she had better things to do.

  • We've got the new album by Usher and it's worth a listen. Seems that Usher only really makes hot music when he goes through a break-up. If that's the case, I hope to hear about more failed relationships, because "happy" Usher equals crappy music.32010/03/30

  • Amerie is back and I'm questioning was it worth it. Sounding like Mary J. Blige is one thing but having crappy tunes is another. The cover of Mint Condition's Pretty Brown Eyes with Trey Songz was of no use on this album. This is no stab to Amerie as she is a singer, however02010/01/05

  • Like Jazmine Sullivan, Melanie Fiona is a singer worth listening to. This Canadian songstress has brought her smooth sounds to a game in need of talent.
