Former boy band (B2K) lead vocalist Omari Ismael Grandberry out with his 3rd album and a new label after much success with the first 2. Not my thing with about as low a score as I can give, but he obviously has some fans. Single of I Get It In features Gucci Mane. Next single must be Speedin' as there is a video. I do like that little race car sound they put in there. Pretty cool! Others featured are Talent Couture, Jay Rock, Marques Houston and Tank. A big battle for the worst track but fortunately I was able to pick one, Last track is listed as a bonus track whatever that means. Some of these are rap flavored bu most lean more to r&b. Sure will be glad when tiggi gets those new genre's done. Enjoy if you can.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Sweet Hangover

Best Track - Hoodie

But if you don't, then who cares??
I got my hood on my arm!
And hoodie over my head!

My album cover is different from this. Mine is a Dutch import with a slightly different track listing. Not sure where I picked it up. I've never been to Dutchland. With the inclusion of Leader Of The Pack (she met him at the candy store), who needs anything else. Primarily known for that classic, and justifiably so, they had many other hits. One of the many girl bands of the era, these drama queens of teenage love were one of the best. If this album would have been cut in half it would have been great. With me picking the half of course. Mostly duds on side 2, but side 1 is awesome.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Bull Dog

Best Track - Leader Of The Pack

Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is. Let's ask her.
Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
Mm-hmm
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Uh-uh
By the way, where'd you meet him?

I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town
(whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

One day my dad said, "Find someone new"
I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
(whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone

If this album would have been cut in half it would have been great.

Not sure my stylus would agree with that...

[JonG]

Jonathan Johansson - Innan Vi Faller from En Hand i Himlen [Hybris, 2009]

Not pop as in popular per se, but pop in that the music is very catchy. It is full of hooks. Also, sung in Swedish so I doubt it can have that wide an audience.

RIYL: New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Hot Chip

[Dementia32]

Shakira - Oral Fixation Vol. 2


I have one of the early pressings of this disc so there's no "Hips Don't Lie" anywhere to be found for me. Still, I remember this album getting lots of play from me when it was released and it still holds up as a solid listening experience as far as I'm concerned.

[CMB1888]

Susan Boyle - Dreamed a Dream

Tiggi's recommendation - so I listened mile:

I really hadn't even heard her sing before but she just sounds like a very good church choir soloist ( and a lot like my childhood neighbour Agnes who we used to hear singing hymns through the living room wall)

Slowing all the songs down and the randomness of the songs chosen didn't help.

Not a fan - though it did make me think of some funny Agnes related stories that my sister and I have just finished talking about - so some fun achieved but at a tangent.

[kerry101]

I've been playing Craig David Born to do it, as i have the song fill me in stuck in my head!

[ilovedmusic]

Thats my stuff right now, I've been listening to them for a while now and I'm always impressed, I'm suprised more people haven't heard of them, but look them up Nikki & Rich, real quality music

Not nearly as bad as I expected. The youngest Jonas Brother attempts to go solo. He had pretty much taken the lead of that project, so branching off was no big surprise. Three of The Administration members are former Prince band members. Formation was just announced in October so they wasted no time gettin into the studio. Have already made appearances on most of the late night shows so the hype is out there. This kids got some talent. Some Stevie Wonder ripoffs on here. A good mixture of both rockers and ballads. It just barely made the passing grade for me.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Conspiracy Theory

Best Track - Vespers Goodbye

All of you
Has shaped me into what I am
Carried out the better man
Do you have a master plan?

Oh no

Somewhere I've
Let all my defenses down
And never thought they'd turn around
And you do not make a sound

See it turning red
Like a bullet through the chest
Lay me down to rest
It's a lovers final breath

And I found out
Nothing comes without a cost
And life was just a game we lost
Do you have a better thought?

Oh

Now you're gone
And nothing has ever felt so wrong
A moment only seems to last so long
Do you have a fear so strong?

See it turning red
Like a bullet through the chest
Lay me down to rest
It's a lovers final breath

Now I die
And kiss your tender lips goodbye
Pray to God who hears my cry

The left side of that image is the album cover. The pic is of a re-release of her first 2 albums. Couldn't find a pic of just the one. The daughter of June Carter Cash and her first husband Carl Smith. Although her roots are country, her first few albums are far from it. Guesting on here are future husband Nick Lowe, Brinsley Schwartz and Graham Parker and the Rumour. That lineup would project a pop/rock album and about half of it is. The slower tunes win out for me. The album did not make the charts. Since there are no album clips available, I posted an interview from 1981 on Swedish tv.
