By The Other Chad In 1989, Prince released his soundtrack to Tim Burton's blockbuster movie Batman. Music critics generally viewed the album as a disappointment. His fan base largely dismissed it as merely marking time. Nearly twenty years later, it is high time for reappraisal. The past decade-plus of mos...

By Mark Saleski OK, I'll admit right here that I was a Kiss fan from back in the day. Yes, I was a member of the Kiss Army. Yes, I own a copy of the comic book. Yes, I've got the first three albums. Yes, I saw Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. I had the posters, the t-shirts, and even a belt buckle.

By Marty Dodge With this release Prince did his best to annoy the entire record business in one go. He released the CD in the UK free with the purchase of the Daily Mail on Sunday. This is the complete album not just highlights or some other con. People wonder why he did it; I suspect that it might be the fourteen n...

By Alyse Wax When I told my husband that Prince was releasing his own fragrance line, he said, "um, what?" Almost any other celebrity, I would just roll my eyes and ignore it. But Prince is different. He is odd by nature, so this just doesn't seem odd at all. And all of his odd stuff has (or seems to have) a modic...

By Matt Dupree Prince: BMG has given Big Papa Purple the boot after he released free copies of his new CD with magazines. Now, to the untrained eye, this might appear to be BMG throwing a temper tantrum because they’ve lost their grip on the udders of what has always been a big purple cash cow. But a spokesman s...

By Daryl D When looking back at the year 1991, one could still sense that the music world would not let go of 80s music acts, such as Madonna (her “Justify My Love” and “Rescue Me” were major hits); Michael Jackson (“Black or White” might have sounded hypocritical from him, but certainly didn’t fail t...

By Josh Hathaway The album opens with "I'm Your Man," a hip re-write of Diana Ross & The Supremes' "The Way You Do The Thing You Do." The first time I listened to this song, it screamed Las Vegas/Rat Pack to me. This song would have been great for the Swingers soundtrack ("Mikey's the big winner, Mikey wins."...

By Pico In 1979 the U.S State Department sponsored a trip of prominent American musicians to play in Havana, Cuba along with Cuba's finest in a musical summit event formally called "Havana Jam," and nicknamed "The Bay Of Gigs." All of the American artists, from primarily the jazz, fusion and rock g...

By Janine Macdonald An important aspect of any film is the music incorporated into it. It’s often carefully selected to suit the mood or theme of the movie. The music selected helps to make it work, or in some cases bomb. Shrek The Third mixes the old with the new, as well as throwing in some impressive covers.The Eel...

By Janine Macdonald Prince took another step towards his comeback last year with the release of 3121. Although he'd stayed out of the spotlight for a period of time, musically he never really left. He still continued to churn out album after album throughout the 90s until 2000, obligating his contract with War...

By Janine Macdonald In essence, it is Prince well… being Prince and that’s when he is at his best. I’m the first to admit I would prefer to listen to Purple Rain, or even Diamonds And Purples, but this album is more than a decent attempt by the Purpled One. Tracks not to miss: “Beautiful, Loved And Blessed”, “Black S...

By Sterfish There are no real skits on the album and unlike something like Prince Paul's A Prince Among Thieves, none of the songs have the Lifesavas or guests really rapping in character. However, the songs on Gutterfly adhere to the themes present in the album's "story."

By Janine Macdonald Ozzy Osbourne released his last studio album six years ago, and it's been even longer since he released one that was half-decent. While previous albums such as Down To Earth were good they weren't earth-shattering and lacked one main ingredient, passion. It was almost as if Ozzy was going t...

By Janine Macdonald Naturally an Ozzy album isn’t an Ozzy album without the obligatory ballad about his wife, Sharon. In this case there are two- “Lay Your World On Me”, and “Here For You”. They're songs about Sharon’s battle with cancer, and see Ozzy reaching out to be her pillar of strength. It’s a move some woul...

By Big Geez In the late 1940s and early 1950s there was a type of singer who bridged the gap between swing era crooners and the pop vocalists who would come along later. They were guys who'd probably come up through the club route rather than as big band vocalists, and often had a sound that was a little dif...

By Mara Siegler Paul Duncan's new album Above the Trees was released by Hometapes on May 1 and since that date I have been listening to it again and again and again. Obsessively. Rich with texture and a trailing narrative, it's the kind of music that you won't get sick of, or rather can't get sick of because it l...

By Connie Phillips The album will be a welcome addition to the collection of anyone who likes the softer smoother side of jazz or pop, or to those who like romantic pop that is laced with brass orchestration.
