It has been thirteen years Alliance Ethnik’ last studio CD, “Simple and Funky” which won Australian Gospel Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year.

You need to listen The Tattooed Heart. It’s really cool. The Tattooed Heart is an amazing album, racked with beauty.There were many famous songs of Aaron Neville available. The Tattooed Heart album is a scorcher!

Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with A little thing called life. Simple and heartfelt closing track For The Good Times closes The Tattooed Heart on a high note. Why Should I Fall In Love is the more seemingly obscure song on The Tattooed Heart that bear up best to repeated listening. A great put together song. Beautiful Night is probably one of Aaron Neville’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. I like My Precious Star because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Some Days Are Made For Rain is a bit of a show-tune. I like the idea behind Try(A Little Harder). Show Some Emotion is the most memorable and perfect. Down Into Muddy Water which is my favorite is a truly Aaron Neville sounding song.

Since Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 last CD (Soulsation 25th Anniversary Collection CD4) on Azuli Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. This album has some very good songs like Can’t Get Ready For Losing You and You Ain’t Giving Me What I Want (So I’m Taking It All Back). Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Soulsation 25th Anniversary Collection CD4 touched my soul like nothing else.

One of the songs that always stick in my mind is You Ain’t Giving Me What I Want (So I’m Taking It All Back) because the melody in the chorus is so good. Reach Out I’ll Be There good vocals. I’m Glad It Rained - A catchy, upbeat tune. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 allows each song to breathe and flourish. Everybody Is A Star is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5. I believe You’re The Only One is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. Just A Little Misunderstanding is the funkiest number on the album. In Jamie it becomes nowhere more obvious that Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 has yet to define own style. I find myself hearing bits of Ask The Lonely here and there throughout my waking hours. We Can Have Fun is the perfect blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. I Hear A Symphony is a good listen every once in a while. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Let’s Have A Party. Love Scenes - a classic song. I have all of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5’s tracks and LuLu is probably the most his introspective effort. Money Honey is one of the more up-tempo songs on Soulsation 25th Anniversary Collection CD4. Coming Home is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood.

After seeing Holding on to Your Love, I had to have a good Mavis Staples CD. For older fans Mavis Staples will put a massive smile accross your face. I think this is best R&B: Soul album. Mavis Staples “Mavis Staples” is an amazing album.

See What You Started is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Beat Well Done can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Mavis Staples is all about. Holding on Your Love is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Mavis Staples. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Interlude (Take Me to the River). See What You Started - Mavis Staples first major hit. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Mavis Staples is Beat Well Done. The song feels complete. It Only Happened stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Love Gone Bad gives good insight into the truths. If you are a Mavis Staples fan, you will love I’ll Always Love You. Show Me is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Mavis Staples emotions are reflected through Falling in Love.

There is so much to love about Kebaka/Amao, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. You need to listen Keep on Running. It’s really cool. Kebaka/Amao was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Kebaka/Amao and Keep on Running together. I greatly enjoyed this CD.

This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Somebody Help Me hits the heart. Some of the arrangements found on Keep on Running are surprisingly edgy. Every Little Bit Hurts one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Paper Sun sets the tone for the entire album. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Within the first few notes of Heaven Is In Your Mind it’s perfectly clear that Kebaka/Amao is living this song. What sets Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush apart is Kebaka/Amao’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Well Alright I just LOVE this mix! Empty Pages - Okay, I just talked about depth. John Barley (Must Die) is really the reason why I recommend buying Keep on Running. Happy Vibes - I just love it.

While no new Basia album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Europe. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Basia has. It has been fourteen years Basia’ last studio CD, “Basia On Broadway (Live)” which won Grammy Awards and was nominated for album of the year. It is very deep stuff.

Cruising For A Bruising is perfect song though, very addictive. Third Time Lucky was the first single release from the album Basia On Broadway (Live). Drunk On Love had me crying as I was able to relate so well. From Now On gives good insight into the truths. Baby You’re Mine is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Yearning very upbeat. Song Take Him Back Rachel is actually a funny song. I hope to keep hearing Basia works for a long time to come. Some call Promises from Basia On Broadway (Live) as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. When listening to Half A Minute, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Lyrics of Reward are precise and evocative. Until You Come Back To Me is a bit different from Basia stereotypical stuff. Dzien Sie Budzi is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Basia ever produced. Brave New Hope is a strong cut, one of many.

I think this is best R&B: Soul album. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Stevie B energies, virtually a rebirth. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Stevie B on ‘I Wanna Be the One’. In My Eyes is awesome.

Although Girl I Am Searching for You is very melodic it is far from sad. I Came to Rock Your Body is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Love Me for Life had me crying as I was able to relate so well. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Lifetime Love Affair (4:15) - awsome. I hope to keep hearing Stevie B works for a long time to come. Children of Tomorrow is a romantic if not formulaic ditty.

Lead single “You Got Away With Love” and “Love Come Knockin’” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks.

One of Percy Sledge’s best albums yet.

All of songs on Blue Night and have something to say letting alone Love Come Knockin’. Why Did You Stop has a fun tempo. It’s such an underrated song. Blue Night the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. I came to like These Ain’t Raindrops. Some call Your Love Will Save The World from Blue Night as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with First You Cry. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Blue Night. Get Blue Night and turn on The Grand Boulevard if you are going to sip your wine late at night. I’ve Got Dreams To Remember is really the reason why I recommend buying Blue Night.

Great album The Honeydripper - just must listen it! There were many famous songs of Jack McDuff available. On The Honeydripper album, Jack McDuff have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. The Honeydripper constantly brilliant.

Tougher Than Love carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This disc has all of the essential Diana King classics.

If you love Diana King as much as I do, then Diana King Tougher Than Love is the CD for you!

Black Roses without a doubt is the standout song of Tougher Than Love. Voice and instruments in Tumble Down complement each other. Treat Her Like A Lady gives good insight into the truths. Music and lyrics of Can’t Do Without You creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Within the first few notes of Tougher Than Love it’s perfectly clear that Diana King is living this song. First time I heard Love Triangle was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.No Diana King song has come close to capturing my attention as Ain’t Nobody did. Diana King allows each song to breathe and flourish. Some of the arrangements found on Tougher Than Love are surprisingly edgy.

While no new Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in North America. It’s natural for Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 to take a stab at ‘The Life Of The Party’ considering her long-professed love for K’Pop. It has been thirteen years Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5′ last studio CD, “Soulsation 25th Anniversary Collection CD3″ which won Kisima Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. It is very exciting!

I Am Love - Parts 1 and 2 marked the continuation of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 in style evolution. If I Don’t Love You This Way - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Mama I Gotta A Brand New Thing (Don’t Say No) is probably the highlight of the album. You have to get essence of the Forever Came Today’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Body Language (Do The Love Dance) - a classic song. After you’ve listened to All I Do Is Think Of You, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. It’s A Moving Violation great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.I believe (You Were Made) Especially For Me is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. I think Honey Love is the best song Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 has ever done. That’s How Love Goes is a exquisite, simple song by Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 at the top of his game.

Now signed to CeCe Winans’s Cavity Search Records, the title track from second album “Alone in His Presence” leads CeCe Winans’s back-to-school campaign. Since completing 1995’s ‘Alone In The Presence (Reprise)’, CeCe Winans fulfilled their contract with Cavity Search Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is one of the best Cd’s CeCe Winans has dropped to date. To me CeCe Winans is the best ever.

Alone In The Presence still maintains something of a specific flourish. A fantastic track full of wonder. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Blood Medley - My least favorite song on this album. Every Time is nothing but pure genius. I have all of CeCe Winans’s tracks and Great Is Thy Faithfulness is probably the most his introspective effort. CeCe Winans has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. His Strength Is Perfect is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. I Surrender All - I just love it. Overture to me is the best you can get from CeCe Winans. Praise Medley is a striking and quite long song.

Jodeci is work hard for The Show, The After Party, The Hotel. I am not a real R&B: Soul music type of person, but i have to admit ‘The Show, The After Party, The Hotel’ really is amazing. Bun B. Hear has compared writing for Jodeci’s new album to that on ‘The Show, The After Party, The Hotel’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Bring On Da’ Funk

Bring On Da’ Funk (3:56) - awsome. Room 723 sets the tone for the entire album. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Voice and instruments in Room 577 complement each other. S-More is just simply stunning. The After-Party - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on The Show, The After Party, The Hotel is Get On Up. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Can We Flo? (4:17) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Zipper has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Music of Let’s Do It All is gentle, never overbearing. P.I.B. 4Play - Jodeci first major hit. Pump It Back is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Jodeci released so far. The sound in D.J. Don Jeremy is really warm and Jodeci’s signature voice is still very much present. I like Freek ‘N You because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Room 454: De Vante’s ‘Intermission’ - I like this one. Jodeci must have run out of lyrics on the next track Time And Place. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. This song may be the most meaningful. Jodeci is one of artists that allow his songs like 4 U to stand on their own and be heard. Jodeci allows each song to breathe and flourish.

Since Jamiroquai last CD (The Return of the Space Cowboy) on Artemis Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. The Return of the Space Cowboy is one of Jamiroquai best albums

Vocals of Jamiroquai in Stillness in Time really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Jamiroquai. Light Years - Jamiroquai first major hit. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Manifest Destiny because the melody in the chorus is so good.

This song is dynamic and dramatic. Soul Inspiration is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. Lead Me Into Love is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Anita Baker. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Sweet Love: The Very Best Of. In Fairy Tales it becomes nowhere more obvious that Anita Baker has yet to define own style. Talk To Me is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Good Enough is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. No More Tears is one of my favorite songs by Anita Baker. When You Love Someone catches attention immediately, Lyrics of You Bring Me Joy are precise and evocative. No One In The World - This is a very lively song.
