Rockferry Duffy 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...    Read More >>

Rockferry (Deluxe) Duffy I had heard people describe Duffy as the new Dusty Springfield. I would say she is a cross between Dusty and a young Lulu. I am a child of the sixties and I love this album.There isn't one song that I can fault. Her voice suits the rock numbers just as well as the ballads - Mercy to Warwick Avenue. I look forward to hearing what she comes up with next.    Read More >>

We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Jason Mraz Since 2002’s jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Make It Mine" and "Butterfly" refer back to the catchy style of previous albums, there are many other styles...    Read More >>

Motown 50 Various Artists I am also not as happy with Mowtown 50 as I thought I would be. It does not have a lot of the old favourites on that we used to dance to and know so well. On the whole I am a Mowtown fan, but this did not hit the spot.    Read More >>

19 Adele 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,...    Read More >>

Hallelujah Alexandra Burke What's the point? Why bother recording, writing wonderful, heartfelt and moving songs just to have all the emotion sucked out of them by the industry machine? It's what has happened again here....another fantastic song ruined by industry fudgers who can't see past a quick profit. Simon Cowell surely must be the antidote to music. I have to agree with his stance on the X-Factor in letting...    Read More >>

Year Of The Gentleman Ne-Yo 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...    Read More >>

The Alesha Show Alesha Dixon With this album I was pleasantly surprised, as it happens I was given it, I did not choose to buy it, but had I known that "The boy does nothing" did promise great things I would have been happy to fork out for it. The album spreads across several different styles, and obviously has many influences but still works cohesively as an album, which is not an easy effect to achieve. Stand out tracks include...    Read More >>

The Definitive Collection Stevie Wonder In a career spanning four decades Steveland Judkins Morris has been many things: child star, funk hero, political chronicler, the saviour of Motown Records and depressingly, the instigator of the painfully schmaltzy R&B ballad. Thankfully, this exhaustive "Best Of...", timed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his first appearance as Little Stevie Wonder, focuses mainly on the 1966-1980 glory years...    Read More >>

Back To Black Amy Winehouse Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black, meanwhile, is neither of these things. This time around, she's taken her inspiration from some of the classic 1960's girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly...    Read More >>
