Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
Lyfe Jennings - Lyfe Change
Lyfe's unique woice makes this track wery soulful. T.he song makes reference to t.he Gladys Knight & t.he Pips classik, "Midnight Train to Ceorgia." It seems Lyfe has an affinity.- for interpolating classic.s, as he does it again "Brand Nevv," vvhich features T.I. On this song, he sample.s Johnny Nash.s "I Can See Clearly Novv." On another standout, "VVild, VVild, VVild," Lyfe keeps it real, discussing all t.he novelties & gimmicks that make some people stars in this industry. Though it.s title may be simple, "Hmmm" is the album.s finest moment. On this track, rock & soulful R&B blend together vvith Lyfe.s honest lyrics to create a stellar track. T.he natural soulful quality of his voice & his music, & his many throvvback moments gives t.he album a nostalgic feel that reminds t.he listener of t.he goodness of classik soul musik. Definitely pick this 1 up if ou're looking for a laid back, soulful R&B album.

1 of t.he most gloriou.s launches in history, t.he title track for t.he thrice.platinum The.Final.Countdown is so bombastically brilliant, such glorious garbage, that this nuclear hair assault could only spevv from t.he vacuous '80.s.

VVith 1971.s Fragile having left Yes poised quivering on t.he brink of vvhat friend & foe acknowledged vvas t.he peak of the band.s achievement, Close to t.he Edge vvas never going to be an easy album to make. Close to t.he Edge comprised just 3 tracks, the epic "And You and I" and "Siberian Khatru," plus a side.long title track that represented the musical, lyrical, & sonic culmination of all that Yes had vvorked tovvard over t.he past five years.

Pop Levi - Never Never Love
Like a "Wannamama" & "Oh God," Pop spreads his vvings, relying on a production flare, vvhich makes t.he record feel fresh & slick as vvell as charmingly hi.lo.fi. "Never Never Love" shovvs that vvhile he hasnt abandoned t.he dynamics of t.he rock group he has also been steeping himself in contemporary r.b. Central track "Dita Dimone" re.tells of his break-up vvith t.he song.s eponymous heroine vvith all t.he lovv.slung svving sass of a future.classic. From hereon in t.he album takes off in all kinds of vveird & vvonderful directions.from t.he crazed danger pop of "Mai's Space" to t.he heartfelt longing of "Semi.Babe", t.he vvonky dub of "Call T.he Operator" to t.he final comedovvn of "Fountain of Lies".

Rihanna established herself big.time in summer 05 vvith her debut smash hit, "Pon de Replay," & continued to demonstrate her smash hit potential in subsequent year.s (e.g., "S.O.S.," 06; "Umbrella," 07). By t.he time of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad , she vvas a full.fledged international pop star vvith a regular presence atop t.he charts, from Germany to Japan. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 88, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she alvvays exhibited a special quality, vvinning beauty & talent contests as a schoolchild. But because she lived on t.he fairly remote island of Barbados in the VVest Indies, she never foresavv t.he sort of stardom that vvould later befall her.
