It's Not My Time - 3 Doors Down

Yay! 3 Doors Down!






Another nice rock track. Somehow love the way they keep
it real, still, in this one & sounds different compared to their
previous one. Definitely one of the rock band to watch out
for if some rock tunes are needed in your play list. Not
much that can be pin point, but it’s a nice track for sure.

Rock on!

Superstar - Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos

Lupe Fiasco & Matthew Santos

Honestly the reason why this track grabbed my attention is definitely Matthew Santos. The very first time I heard this, I even thought that Lupe Fiasco is actually the one being featured in the track, since he did the rapping part of the track. Not to say he contributes nothing to the track, just that I like how Matthew deliver his lines. & that fits into the whole track beautifully. Matthew is definitely one of the newbies that has a lil something in him. Overall, this is a nice collaboration track.

The Way That I Love You - Ashanti

Cover of the single, Ashanti - The Way That I Love You

One of the much waited comeback, definitely. If you didn’t
get enough of Ashanti from that ‘Only U’ back in 2004,
well here comes another great one from her.

Love the growth in her vocal & the direction of the music
she’s heading, which indirectly shown in this single. It might
be lacking a little bit of that commercial element which can
make it a really major hit, but the way that she out do herself
this time around again is already fine for me, an Ashanti fan,
at least. Also, another thumbs up for that great music video…
just as strong & as intense as the single itself! :) Keep it up, girl!

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

leona lewis

If having Kelly or Carrie are considered as having one of the
strongest, powerful & successful newcomers of any television
talent show, wait until you listened to this young lady.

Everything part about this second debut single of her is just
effortless. Powerful vocal, great melody, emotionally filled
lyrics, what else that you can crave for. There no doubt that
this major hit single had easily grab the spot to become one
of the timeless love songs, personally…lovely…

Touch My Body - Mariah Carey

Okay the divas are back in action this year. & the first one on the ‘chopping block’ is …jeng jeng jeng… Mimi!!! (yay!)



This is her very first single from the E=mc² album…hmm it might appear to be as catchy, cute, sexy, elegance & lovely as they claimed (the critics). Personally it doesn’t have that ‘punch me in the face’ impact like that ‘We belong together’ had. Let’s just admit that this one lack of a little bit of the intense that it should have. Hmm maybe I was expecting more from her after that strong single. A lil disappointing honestly. Well we’ll see what happens next…

Overall, it’s a good one, and that's it.

Love Song - Sara Bareilles

Sara Bereilles

You might be new to this one, but this single of her is definitely one of the must-listen simple & smooth single. Don’t look down on this one, after its being featured on the iTunes as the free single of the week; it immediately gained recognition as the Sara’s major label debut Little Voice shot to #1 on the list of most downloaded albums of the music store. & not to forget it’s also being featured in the Rhapsody commercial back in 2007. It’s more than just a simple & carefree ‘love song’!

20 must listen 2007 - part X

The bomb of 2007! It wasn’t one of the biggest hit of the year, but still it stood out the most, personally. The emotions in the track was just spot on, without letting the sadness over drag the entire mood of the track. This sad romantic piece was packed with the great amount of energy, and the music arrangement is just brilliant. Kudos to Incubus!

It’s really easy to connect to her music somehow. She manages to create that magic moment that you easily fall for that. It’s great to see her grow in her music, and they keep gets better each time. This is apparently her strongest yet, and the most mind-blowing music that we can get from her. She’s definitely the must-listen girl for R&B music.
