Fastlife: Joe Jonas Album Review


Fastlife is the first solo album from Pop/R&B artist Joe Jonas. This album debuted at No. 15 on the billboard charts, selling 18,000 copies in its first week. I'm not sure what Joe Jonas was trying to achieve with this album but whatever it was he didn't. While listening to this album I couldn't help wanting to press the fast forward button. However there are three or four songs that's worth a second listen. I give Joe Jonas album "FastLife" 1.5/5

Recommended Tracks "See No More," and "Just In Love."

Nas: Stillmatic Review Album Review

Rap icon Nas Released his fifth album Stillmatic December 18th, 2001. This album debuted at No. 5 on the billboard charts and sold 1.7 million copies to date. If you are a fan of Hip Hop and is familiar with Nas work I shouldn't have to say much. I was only a kid when this album came out but I immediately knew I was listening to a classic. Nas is arguably one of the best lyricist in the game and we all can see why with this album. Stillmatic has many classic songs like "One Mic" and "Ether." This album has guest appearances by AZ, Mary J. Blige, Amerie and more. I Give Nas "Stillmatic" 5/5 Mics.


Recommended Tracks "You're DA Man," "One Mic," and "Ether."

Lloyd: King Of Hearts Album Review

 R&B artist Lloyd drops his fourth album King Of Hearts. This album debuted at number ten on the billboard charts, selling 26,000 copies in its first week. King Of Hearts exceeded my expectations with the number of great songs it has. This isn't your ordinary Lloyd album, it's a step above the rest. Almost every song on King Of Hearts is replay-able from the slow songs to the club bangers. Lloyd deserve a lot of credit for this album. King Of Hearts has guest appearances by Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, R.Kelly and more. I give Lloyd's "King Of Hearts" 4/5 Vocal Cords.

Recommended Tracks "Naked," "Be The One," and "Jigsaw."

Rihanna: Loud Album Review

On November 12th, 2010 Rihanna drops her fifth album Loud on Def Jam Records. This album debuted at No. 3 on the billboard charts, selling 207,000 copies in its first week. Loud has several different genres of music from pop, R&b, to reggae. Rihanna shows bit of a evil side mixed with innocence on this album with songs like "What's My Name?" and "Man Down." Overall this is a solid album and possibly one of her best. This album has guest appearances from Drake, Nicki Minaj and Eminem. I give Rihanna's album "Loud" 3.5/5 Vocal Cords.


Recommended Tracks "What's My Name?," "Love The Way You Lie(Part 2)" and "Cheers."

Jennifer Hudson: I Remember Me Album Review

I Remember Me is the second album from R&B artist Jennifer Hudson. This album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboards charts, selling 165,000 copies in its first week. We all know without question Jennifer Hudson can sing, so now all we need is good music. I Remember Me is a pretty decent album, not bad but not good. Some of the songs Jennifer Hudson chose to sing didn't fit for her voice. I must say this album is much better than her previous album. This album doesn't have any guest appearances. I give Jennifer Hudson "I Remember Me" 3/5 Vocal Cords.

Recommended Tracks "Why Is It So Hard," "Where You At," and "Believe."

Lady Gaga: Born This Way Album Review

Lady Gaga released her second album Born This Way on May 23, 2011. Born This Way debuted on the top of five major charts, including the billboards 200. This album sold 1.108 million copies in its first week destroying the competition. Hate her or love her you have to give her credit for her dedication to her work. This album has inspirational songs for her monsters(Fans) like of course "Born This Way" and "Hair." Born This Way isn't for everyone but if you're a fan of Lady Gaga's music then you will appreciate this album. This album doesn't have any guest appearances. I give Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" 3.5/5 Vocal Cords.

Recommended Tracks "You and I," "Hair," and "Born This Way."
