Rockferry, the Welsh singer s lovingly constructed debut album, has already succeeded beyond expectations, and although Duffy may not quite be the ingénue portrayed by a clever press campaign (she nearly won a local television talent show a few years back while a single credited to Aimee Duffy is still available on iTunes) she is surely the most appealing of the current flood of young soul sirens. The astonishing title track, co-written by Bernard Butler, sounded like a lost transmission that had taken decades to get through as soon as it hit radio last year. But the gently rolling soul ballad Stepping Stone, that strapping, inescapable monster hit Mercy, the ice cool Serious (the one time she really does channel the spirit of Dusty Springfield) and the wistful, elegant Warwick Avenue are similarly effective. Suggestions by some that Rockferry is little more than sixties pastiche are churlish. Butler s previous work with David McAlmont (featured here as a backing singer) showed his sk...

#Simply stunning (2008-11-01) I bought this album as a chance puchase based upon a magazine article that I had read about her. I was unaware of the hype and as they don t play very many of her songs on Classic FM and Radio 4, was also unaware of her music!! The melodies are soulful and her voice mature beyond her years. I just love this album: sad but uplifting - how s that for an oxymoron. Yes it took me back to my childhood in the 60s. I would love for her to cover Ferry cross the Mersey. Comparisons to other artists such as Dusty Springfield are understandable but unfair. To m...

#Not exactly duff but not great either (2008-10-18) The girl is a talent, proudly celtic, and I wouldn t kick her out of bed, as they say, but hmm, sorry, the material, for me is just too unoriginal sounding. She seems to fancy herself as a Dusty revivalist but it s just all too obvious for me. She s got the voice and the looks, but I can t help thinking, after hearing this album that she s also got the style manager and the music manager. I think the woman is every bit as produced as her music, and boy, isn t her music produced! I d like to see her throw off the shackles of her ...

#That hideous vibrato..... (2008-10-15) Duffy seems to be a likeable young lady and can sing in tune - but, in truth, her voice is extremely thin and harsh, and somebody has told her that it is OK to end every, and I mean every, line with a slow-motion vibrato. Duffy, it s just horrible, and the recent live apperance as a Jools Holland special was just unlistenable for that very reason. Why y y y y y do do do do do you hoo hoo hoo hoo doo doo doo doo i i i i i t?Rockferry is by far the best track: the hit Mercy is pretty bland. The backing is really odd - the instruments are fairly...

#24 going on 44 (2008-10-09) When I first heard Mercy I didn t like it because I thought the background riff sounded too much like the one from Stand By Me and, for me, it didn t quite work. Also, it is too easy to compare the latest female singing sensation to Dusty Springfield or Amy W which isn t fair on anyone concerned. Then I heard Warwick Avenue and my interest was piqued (I had just split up with someone who lived in that part of London). Still I was waiting for something more. Then I head Stepping Stone and I knew I was going to buy this album, and I have not regret...

If the mark of the skilful Lothario is the one who knows to always tell his lover what she wants to hear, surely Def Jam s R&B sensation Ne-Yo--aka Los Angeles singer-songwriter Shaffer Chimere Smith--is one of the greatest of them all. On third album Year of the Gentleman, Chimere channels his hitmaking talents into a suite of R&B songs that more respectful than rampant in their approach to the romancing. Single is a song that reaches out to all the lonely girls, Ne-Yo promising I ll be your boyfriend til the song goes off, while the Stargate-produced Miss Independent, lit up by neon synthesisers, suggests Smith isn t too concerned with his own machismo to test out flipping the traditional gender roles, serenading a girl who s a player in her own right: Everything she got, you bet she bought it. The album is at its best with the central, two-song movement of Why Does She Stay and Fade Into the Background--the former, Ne-Yo questioning his own neglectful nature over a backdrop of shim...

#FANTASTIC (2008-11-07) This has to be one of the best albums I have bought in a long time. Every track is good usually there is always a couple of songs that don t do it for you but every track is great. This is my first Neyo CD but not the last.

#Best album I have heard in a long while. (2008-10-30) Just bought this album on the weekend and have not stopped listening to it since. For me it is a natural progression from the last album. Other reviewers have complained of the likeness to Micheal Jackson. Yes, there is a hint of Michael Jackson in there but that s not a bad thing. Think Jacko in his heyday of Thriller or Bad and you will get the idea. Anyway, I personally think that Prince is more of an influence to Ne-yo s singing style than anyone else. This album really is Ne-yo s best work. Its a combination of smooth R n...

#The bad bo of R and B is back (2008-10-28) This album is immense, forget the singles you have heard and the mans image, the album tracks. The album is mostly made up of songs that Ne-Yo has been making with his mate usher and wycliffe from the refugees who is his dad. Track one tells of Ne-Yo s recent trouble with gambling addiction and O. C. D. that ended his relationship with Grace Jones. The last song is a fitting tribute to puff daddy who has recently been diagnosed with Chrome s disease.

#This is ne-yo s best album to date (2008-10-22) I love this album so much,i brought it the first day it came out and i just can t stop listening 2 this album. This album is his best to date. Here s a review of each track:Closer-10/10 A great dance track, i love this track i don t care that this isn t what ne-yo normally does,ne-yo is defo the best rnb artist out there at the moment that s why this song went 2 number 1Nobody-10/10 Another great dance feelgood track from ne-yo nobody cuts like her nobody nobody,this song is just fireSingle-10/10 This is nkonb s new song,but ne-yo s album...

#Rihanna reloaded...her best work that will never be matched...ever!! (2008-10-25) it wasn t until Disturbia and Take A Bow that i became a fan of this smashing R n B star. . . . and i saw this album for a great pice and i got it. Umbrella was an awesome lead single but it didn t persuade me to buy the album the first time round. but now this release was out. . . i had to get it. . . . and my gosh is it an amazing album. it s the equivalent of Michael Jacksons THRILLER album. . . amazing stuff. Madonna did it with Like A Prayer. . . . now Rihanna the r n b equivalent has done it. . . a...

#Obviously De gustibus... (2008-10-08) First off, i m not commenting on this as a re-release or whatever, as it is the only Rihanna cd i own. I d never delved into Rihanna (metaphorically or physically) until Umbrella caught my attention - it is an absolute cracker! And hearing her namedropped a lot, i invested when i found Good Girl. . . on sale. What a dissappointment! I m sorry, but people who rave about this album are either pre-pubescent or musically inept. There are two outstanding trax, Umbrella and Cry (whose piano part I have spent some time improvising on and am sti...

#Only worth it if you hadn t already purchased the original (2008-09-13) The original version of Good Girl Gone Bad is a great RnB album with some catchy pop hooks and great beats. The singles such as Umbrella and Don t Stop The Music are obviously standout tracks, and Rihanna s shown off a very soulful side on tracks such as Rehab and Cry. The problem is that this re-release (as with most re-releases) is NOT worth owning if you already bought the original, as most of Rihanna s fans will have. Having to purchase an entire album again for the sake of three tracks - however good thos...

#Marketing and new fans win (2008-09-13) When I saw the vid for Disturbia I got excited that a new Rihanna album was imminent, but was surprised to see it listed for Good Girl Gone Bad. Found on Amazon the re-release with the 3 additional tracks. Great marketing idea. Great for fans who didn t get the original album. VERY disappointing for those of us who paid for the original. I would be more impressed if these 3 tracks could become the start-up for a brand new album or, as another reviewer suggested, a special disc: my suggestion would be for a DVD release of the vids (which are ...

#3 tracks are gr8!! (2008-09-07) its ok. i luvd her original album. and the 3 bonus tracks are BRILLIANT songs which is why i sold my last and got this one. and with it being reduced already, why not if the only bonus 3 tracks are great anyway?but why did she re-release instead of releasing a new album with these tracks. that would have been better. . .

It s right there, on the cover, the spine, or illuminating from your iPod screen. But it s hard to corroborate it in your mind. London singer-songwriter Adele s debut album is titled 19, referencing her age, and there are hints it s true--its themes are almost exclusively concerned with young love s highs and (mostly) lows and there s a clipped estuary English tide-mark to her voice, allying her with the fresh-faced modern female songwriting guard, Lily Allen, Kate Nash, et al. But the sheer weight of her maturity--vocally, emotionally and in overall poise—,really reduces that all to circumstantial evidence. Adele is carrying something much bigger here, you can t help but be consumed by it on Daydreamer with it s jazzy tip-toeing guitar and elastic vocal range and Hometown Glory with its deep, lonely piano serving as a bed for the raw emotional undressing that takes place above it. Draw a line between timeless, powerful singers like Ella Fitzgerald and the modern standard of Amy Wi...

#All Comparisons are False (2008-10-28) Having now heard her album, to compare her to Lily Allen is a travesty. Adele is far better, her smooth voice and song writing skill for starters. . . And whilst we re on the subject of comparisons, there s only one similarity to Amy Winehouse - and that is I love both of their albums, when my expectations were low. Daydreamer: A chilled, melodic start to her debut album, but on first listen you kinda want to skip it to speed up your new listening experience. This is definitely one of those tracks you have to listen to a few times. Vocally she...

#Nice voice but cheer up!! (2008-09-13) I don t deny that this young girl has a nice voice, albeit not the greatest, but I cannot listen to this album the whole way through. I loved Chasing Pavements, but despite some OK tracks nothing else stands out, and it could all have been so much better. First and foremost, it s so depressing. I ve tried a few times but I find it hard to listen to the whole album without either falling asleep or wanting to cut my wrists. Also, as I said she has a nice voice, but it might be even nicer if I could understand anything she s singing. Thank God...

#Tremendous! (2008-08-18) Wow, well I thought superb, she is only nineteen - big future here. . . . . . . Vocals on Hometown really moved me. A superb debut.

#Not too bad but nothing to get excited about. (2008-08-13) While I have to say this is quite an entertaining album especially the strangely upbeat Chasing pavements and the rather quirky Tired This album is really one of a long line of Next big thing Ella Fitzgerald etc etc. . . . . . First off she sounds nothing like Ella Fitzgerald and is about as distant from the great soul singers as you can get. While Amy Winehouse for example may be able to carry it off (To an extent) the whole modern soul Adel really just doesn t cut it. Now I am not saying that is a particularly bad thing...

#Not Enough (2008-08-04) Adele has a lovely voice and she has great potential as a singer, but one good song on an album is not really satisfactory from a purchaser s point of view. Chasing Pavements is what captured me. The rest of the songs on this album are tedious, I m sorry to say. Like too many other young artistes struggling to make a name, she has been tempted to pack out an album with too much dross. I think there must have been some bad advice given out along the way somewhere. Young talent needs careful nurturing. Too fast, too soon is not a good strategy for plann...

#rubbish (2008-09-26) This is rnb at its worse. . bland style hip hop/rnb beats over a good singers voice. . the boy can sing for sure but apart from take you down and with you the quality control on this album is appalingly bad. i was actually listening to some 70 s and 80 s rnb today and it reminded me of how bad some modern soul/rnb is these days. . theres no melody or musicality to most of the tracks. With you is a great track though but this isnt great at all.

#Surprisingly good! (2008-08-05) I really bought this product on the basis of No Air and With You -having liked his voice and on the strength of a friend s recommendation-despite the fact that this really isn t my genre of music and I did have qualms about buying it-but I took a chance and I m so glad I did-this is a great album with many of the 20 tracks being absolutely brilliant-there s barely a filler in sight!1. Throwed-I could not think of a better way to start the album, electronic and uptempo with great vocals. 9/102. Kiss Kiss-The repetetive chorus and thumping bass make th...

#Brilliant! (2008-07-19) Exclusive:the Forever Edition is a brilliant album from my favourite artist, Chris Brown. My favourite tracks are Throwed, Picture Perfect, I Wanna Be, Down, Forever and Superhuman. It s a must-have CD, I love it!

#The best album of the year just got better (2008-07-18) Chris Brown s album, Exclusive is an amazing album. All of the songs are good and you definutly wouldnt be disapointed with the album. But now, chart topping hit Forever has been added to the album, along with other bonus tracks to make it even better! The only thing that would make this album even better would be if No Air by Chris and Jordin Sparks could be added!
