Now That's What I Call Music! 17
(more) »rank: 48370by: Various Artists
: :With Now 17 the producers of this chart-busting series have accepted, to their credit, a truism: You can't please 'em all. That accounts for the opposite-ends-of-the-genre-spectrum inclusiveness of the disc, and also for the lion's share of its appeal. Like hip-hop but hate country? Count yourself in, courtesy of Terror Squad ('Lean Back'), J-Kwon ('You & Me'), and the Beastie Boys ('Ch-Check It Out'), or out, owing to Gretchen Wilson ('Here for the Party') and Keith Urban ('Days Go By'). Ditto for girl pop (Ashlee Simpson's 'Pieces of Me,' Jessica Simpson's 'Angels') and hard rock (Crossfade's 'Cold')--take it or leave it or, if ...

Chicken Little
(more) »rank: 11248from: Walt Disney Records
: :This soundtrack offers a pretty standard mix of new songs, old chestnuts, and excerpts from the score (here by John Debney). On the new tip, Joss Stone and Patti LaBelle engage in an overheated battle of the divas on CD opener 'Stir It Up,' a bouncy piece of fluff that sounds more like Aretha Franklin circa 'Freeway of Love' than classic soul. Other originals include Barenaked Ladies' 'One Little Slip' (this movie's answer to Counting Crows' 'Accidentally in Love' from Shrek 2) and the Cheetah Girls' peppy-but-bland cover of 'Shake Your Tail Feather.' But the real highlights are the songs performed by the ...

Afrodisiac
(more) »rank: 56343by: Brandy
:Album Description:Afrodisiac is sensuous, soulful, even a little gritty, an album that showcases Brandy's passionate voice and announces in no uncertain terms that she's all grown up and knows what she wants. The hot first single, 'Talk About Our Love,' was produced by and features Kanye West. :After a breakup, childbirth, and a reality show, the one-time teen star finds herself growing up a little more on Afrodisiac. While this isn't a concept album--the songs aren't ordered as such--it's filled with the frustrations and pleasures of Brandy's past few years. At the same time, her vocals are richer than ever, reaching a Blige-like ...

200 Km/H in the Wrong Lane
(more) »rank: 46485by: t.A.T.u.
: :Two comely teenage lesbian lovers from Russia who happen to sing? That seems more like marketing masterstroke than pop music likelihood, so it's fair to question the authenticity of t.A.T.u.'s English language debut. It's impossible to know where t.A.T.u.'s talent begins and ends and just how much influence their various handlers and producer Trevor Horn had over 200 Km/h in the Wrong Lane, but it's probably a moot point to the intended demographic. Horn's background working with electro-pop dandies Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes to Hollywood is evident in the crisp, driving synth cushioning singers Lena Katina and Julia Volkova's gossamer vocals. ...

: :No one will lament the passing of the boy band phenomenon; now the American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken has released his first album. He's picked up right where 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys left off, not only borrowing Andreas Carlsson, the Swedish songsmith who penned some of their biggest hits (also using the services of other well-known popmeisters like Desmond Child and Cathy Dennis), but turning out the same type of impeccable over-produced and seamless creations that the Orlando pop mafia rode up the charts at the dawn of the millennium. Several years into the new millennium it seems like there's still ...

Back Again...No Matter What: The Greatest Hits

:Album Description:2008 compilation featuring three new tracks and all their great hits from the reunited Irish boyband, Boyzone. After eight years apart, touring together again made Keith, Mikey, Ronan, Shane and Stephen realize just how special and unique the connection between them is, and none of them wanted their final live date to mean the end of Boyzone again. Instead, they release their Greatest Hits album, Back Again: No Matter What, complete with three new songs to give old and new fans alike a taster of what's to come, of the way Boyzone sound now. Together, the new songs show that, while their ...

:Album Description:New Orleans-based fiddler and singer Amanda Shaw brings dazzling new energy to roots-based Louisiana music. Working with material that ranges from traditional fiddle tunes to new originals that embrace both country and rock influences, Amanda and her band, The Cute Guys, create a sound and an attitude that are both authentic and bold. :In a pop world deluged by tragic tales of teen stars gone horribly wrong, New Orleans' Amanda Shaw can seem an oasis of genuine, countrified charm. Just 16-years-old when she cut this bracing, often effervescent Rounder Records debut with the Cute Guys, (her band of country/bluegrass vets whose youngest ...
