Roger Sanchez "Come with Me" Album Review

Give the S-Man Another Chance in the future
When I heard the S was dropping another album, I couldn't wait to hear it. After hearing it, though, I have to say I was a little disappointed. Now I know that I shouldn't expect to hear Another Chance clone, and I welcome change, but not when stuff sounds like everything else. If you're one to like the standard 4/4 house track (I personally still like that, to an extent) then this might be for you, but coming from the S-Man, somehow I expected more. Here's my take, track by track:

1-Turn On the Music, has the generic big diva style vocals over a very repetitive 4/4 beat. Been done before & definitely breaks no ground. Not a strong album opener in my opinion.

2-Take a Chance, opens a la Gypsy Kings with rapid handclaps & flamenco style guitar work, then morphs into a nice Latin house beat w/vocal stylings reminiscent of the Sugababes.

3-This is your standard pop-house track filler. Not bad, but sounds like every other song you've heard on Radio 1.

4-Nice minimal piano intro with tribal beats. Nice melody & vocals. Sounds like a song that could've been on First Contact.

5-I've never been a fan of male vocals in dance music, but somehow I'd rather listen to that than irritating spoken male vocals. There are female vocals singing the chorus, but no way save this track.

6-Reminds me of Turn On the Music, being that it's another diva style vocals/repetitive synths w/no melody over a 4/4 beat. So glad we invented the fast forward button.

7-Peaked my interest in the beginning with a nice calm piano intro stirring my ears to hear a nice chill track. Nice vocals and then the generic house beat came in and took away from the track. Not the worst, but expected better.

8-Again, I'm not a fan of male vocals, but this turned out to be one of the better tracks on the album. Reminds me of summer.

9-Debatedly my favorite on this release, it features a subdued 4/4 beat over Spanish guitars w/Alejandro Sanz singing in English (I was a little put off by that for some reason). The track closes w/some Latin-jazz style piano. Nice for post-party relaxation.

10-Another filler number w/female vocals & standard house beat. Not bad.

11-This track made me smile. This was the chill track I had hoped to hear and my wish was answered. Not to mention it's a great track to bring the album home. Nice beat w/atmospheric synth work & light melody flowing throughout. Whispery female vocals in Spanish makes this a plus in my opinion.

Overall, I expected to hear something different from the S. It's different for him, yea, but it's more of the same other artists do: inadequate, filler tracks. No "Another Chance" on this cd, but still worth a listen. After all, it's the S-Man!

My standout trax: 1/3/4/8/9/11

Lisa M. "Respect" Album Review

The Deluxe edition!
The Deluxe edition has finally arrived! The deluxe edition for the album Respect that is. At first, I wasn't sure what this edition would consist of. I mean I already thought the first regular edition was good on its own. I thought maybe they'd add a DVD? Perhaps they'd add a bonus remix CD? I knew for sure that new tracks would be added and some songs from the first edition taken out which is what happened in the end. It's a shame though they didn't keep the track Lisa M recorded with Voltio for the deluxe edition. But the deluxe edition doesn't really suffer from that. It stands good on its own with 2 new tracks one with La India and all the remaining tracks intact with some being remixed! So you're not losing if you already have bought Respect last year. Quedate en cuero has always been my favorite and to hear it remixed is a plus for me.
Lisa M will embark on a tour next year to promote this revamped record and I simply wish her the best. It was a shame that the first edition of Respect was overlooked and I hope this new editon will finally hit the airwaves like there's no tomorrow because she deserves it!

On a side note, it's a bit weird that the clean verison is only available and not the explicit version.
Also a greatest hits is due now. I think it'll be cool to remind people just how important Lisa M has been for the latin music world with hits like menealo, tu pum pum, and everybody dancing now. That'll give people some good memories.

Paris Hilton "Stars are Blind" Album Review

She Is A STAR!
I LOVE Paris Hilton! Always have. When i heard she was making a record I knew it would be good. Boy was i SHOCKED upon hearing *Stars Are Blind*. Paris did good on her first single. Very reminiscence of the Culture Club track *Do You Really Want To Hurt Me* and UB40's *Red Red Wine*. Paris Hilton is here to stay and I for one am glad.
