Growing Up with Chris

Advantages: Loveable and good songs
Disadvantages: The album is very limited

...I can't say it is hard to get confused when it comes to this youngsters album, as Chris Brown released his debut album in late 2005, the album would appear with different versions and different covers (as highlighted by the wide variety of albums by the artist to review). All versions of the album went by the self-titled name of 'Chris Brown' however the track amounts vary from 8 to 15. For the purposes of this review, I shall be reviewing the eight track version of the album. Welcome to Chris Brown's world. When Chris Brown first burst on to the scene it would be with the single 'Run It', that is the first track on the album if you do not count the Intro (See The Light). Run It was an immediate success and truly was the song of the summer for 2005 and gave Chris Brown the fanbase he so wanted. Chris was himself only 16 at this point...

Get It Or He'll 'Chris Brown' You

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple take a while to get into

...Released in 2007, ?Exclusive? was the second album from the R&B singer Chris Brown. I found him working with more big names in this field as the likes of Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Scott Storch all got in on it and helped in re-creating the buzz which came with his debut, in which he was seen to bring Pop hits such as ?Gimme That, ?Yo? and ?Run It!?. 1. ?Throwed? The album begins well as the singer kicks a lively tune to get the thing going as he uses Go-Go influences in order to get into an energetic tune to hype up the listeners as he introduces what this sophomore album has to offer his fans. It is a big one and placed perfectly in order to get the most out of it. **Five Stars** 2. ?Kiss Kiss? This was a monster single from the album, in which it has Breezy teaming up with another big name in the R&B game as T-Pain shows what he...

Review of Exclusive - Chris Brown

John the Entertaining

Advantages: Very emotional writing
Disadvantages: Quite slow paced

...Up until now, I'd only ever heard of ''John the Revelator'' as a song. Judging from the several mentions of the song in the story and given that author Peter Murphy works in the music press, I suspect that's where the title of this novel came from as well. How much I enjoy the song depends on which version of it I hear, but with no such concerns with the book, I was able to enjoy it fully without worrying if someone had done a better version elsewhere that I was missing out on. John Devine is a teenager stuck in a small Irish town with a single mother, no real friends and a rather worrying fascination for bodily parasites, mostly intestinal worms. His only human contact is with his mother Lily, Mrs Nagle, an elderly neighbour and Harry Farrell, a local jack-of-all-trades. His only break from the house and from school is Sunday Mass. Not...

Review of Exclusive - Chris Brown

Chris and friends.

Advantages: This is cool music
Disadvantages: It may take a few plays.

...For his 1997 release Chris Botti assembled the pretty much the same stellar cast of musicians as he used of his previous recordings. This album has 9 tracks that are new and 1 previously released song that appeared on the soundtrack to the film “Caught” this being the song with Jonatha Brooke on vocals called “Forgiven”. To begin this collection the instrumental track “The steps of Positano” starts the album off, this has a familiar feel to it as just like his previous 2 releases the music is all atmosphere, this is perfectly conveyed by the brushed cymbal playing of Jerry Marotta and the keyboard skills of Paul Joseph Moore (of the “Blue Nile” fame) and Mr Botti himself who plays the same themes as the keyboards but with sensuous trumpet playing. The next track is a song co...

Review of John Lewis (Department Stores)

Chris Botti & friends?

Advantages: It's real music....
Disadvantages: Region 1 only

...During a 10-week lay- off while on tour with Sting for his "Brand new Day" album, the featured solo artist on the tour Chris Botti rented a house in the Hollywood Hills to write and record his "Night Sessions" album, 4 weeks to write and 6 weeks to record and mix. With this short period of time Chris said, " he felt energized by the challenge" he asked his friend Kipper (who won a Grammy for his production on Sting's album Brand New Day) to co-write and produce, they stated to write and at the end of the writing sessions only recorded the material as the lights of the L.A. basin began to glow and as the sun set and only stopped when the sun came back up the next morning. On December the 3rd 2001 Chris Botti took to the stage of the "EL REY" theatre in L.A. to celebrate the release of the "Night Sessions" album, his first release...

Review of Everybody Hates Chris - Series 1 (DVD)

Being John Malkovich- Innovative

Advantages: Original script.John Cusack's fantastic performance.
Disadvantages: Subject might not appeal to many.Some weak scenes.

...I had to watch Being John Malkovich because its written by Charlie Kaufman,who is one of my most favorite writers.His work(Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,Adaptation,Synedoche New York) speaks for itself. Being John Malkovich is directed by Spike Jonze and stars John Cusack,Cameron Diaz,Charlie Sheen and John Malkovich himself! John Cusack plays puppeter Craig,married to Lotte(Cameron Diaz).Having financial problems,he decides to take up a job where he meets Maxine(Catherine Keener) who intrigues him.One day while working in his office he finds a small hidden door and is rather surprised when the opening takes him iniside John Malkovich's mind for 15minutes. Things become more interesting when Craig tells Maxine about it and they start a business of taking money from people to make them live as John Malkovich for 15minutes...

Review of Being John Malkovich (DVD)

Chris Isaak's Forever Blue is Pure Heartbreak Heaven!

Advantages: perfect music, wonderful lyrics, flawless singing
Disadvantages: somewhat downbeat

...While I was watching a country music channel quite a few years back, I was captivated by Chris Isaak's video for "Somebody's Crying". It wasn't just the video that had me interested, although Issak is always very handsome, and he appeared to be very much so during the footage, but rather the song. I have been a fan of Isaak's ever since his work with David Lynch on the "Wild at Heart" Soundtrack. His "Wicked Game" is a pure and haunting classic. It is clearly washed in the songs of yesterday that inspired Isaak, such performers as Roy Orbison and Elvis. Loving "Somebody's Crying", I started looking for the album it would appear on. I found out that it was an album entitled "Forever Blue". Along with expecting and awaiting its release date, I found out the story behind many of the songs that would be featured on the album...
