"A Different Me" Album Review
For our third edition, we wanted to do Fall Out Boy's latest album. But when i was listening to it, all the songs sound the same to me... and i have nothing nice or bad to say. Actually come to think of it, i have one! They really have weird song titles as usual. So i made the executive decision to do a Keyshia Cole review instead. it was a last min decision. so it meant that we only had less than 24 hours to digest her album...
Album Review:
dirrtysean: Keyshia Cole released her third studio album this week titled "A Different Me". Yea, so in this album, we're exposed to a different side of Keyshia. Some might say her other side is her sex-up image (check out the album artwork) to make herself more appealing to the masses. But according to her, her previous 2 albums were more focused on heartbreaks.. but for this album she leaning more on growing as an artists and exploring life through music. I dont know where she's going at.. but whatever.
The album in general has a nice tone to it... it can be heard from her lead single "Playa Cardz Right" which features vocals from the late TuPac. I feel that TuPac's vocal blends with the song well. Produced by Ron Fair (the man behind Christina Aguilera, Pussycat Dolls, Black Eyed Peas). The feel of this song does represents the album well. But it can be quite monotonous when you're listening to the whole album a few times over and over again.
Songs i like on first listen are "Erotic" (the title says all) and "Please Dont Stop". If you place the song titles back to back you're get.. "Please dont stop the eroticness"... lol.. Lame me...
Track Review by airotcivqueen:
Playa Cardz Right
Collaboration with the late legendary hip hop star 2pac.
A unique collaboration, and one of my favorite tracks.
True
Another favorite of mine, Keyshia sings about trust, one thing we all want in a relationship!
This Is Us
A more romantic, cheery track, it has this uplifting of moods feeling
Please Don't Stop A slightly fast, upbeat track, which might be remixed, booty shaking worthy
No Other Small bit of rap infused in the song, but still pretty good

Overall airotcivqueen::
I say spin it, pretty good tracks on the overall, be it slow or fast, but not much of a very outstanding track, but still a good listen.

As what airotcivqueen: said, there are no outstanding tracks. This is a quite boring album... But a fan of Keyshia's will definitely appreciate this. I still prefer her previous singles anyday like "Let It Go", "Heaven Sent" and "Love"...
We're doing a year end poll on who you think is the best of the best of 2008...
Do let us know!!!
NOTE: For non LiveJournal members, you can cast your votes by posting a comment in this category. There is a voting guide in the comment section.
Another Note: Livejournal Poll has a limitation.... it screwed up one of my question... For the category "Please dont STOP the music" there is supposed to be a slash across dont. So vote for songs you dislike!
Dirrty Gossip:
Craig David Peforms at 2008 40 Principle Awards In Spain
Craig David recently performed in Madrid, Spain, his single "Walking Away" alongside Spanish singer Alex Ubago.
Although, I am a sucker for Espanol versions of English songs, I have to admit, I prefer this song in English,
and besides me no likey Alex Ubago's voice! Spanish songs are dope with great singers!
Oooopsy!
Much love,
