| Body Talk Pt 2 |
|
more... |
|
She's as feisty as Pink, as beat-savvy as M.I.A., does Eurodisco better than Gaga. But can this mercurial diva, a star in her native Sweden, crack the Billboard Top 40? The second EP in Robyn's Body Talk trilogy (PT 1 was in June) offers up another batch of great, club-ready ... |
| Kaleidoscope Heart |

"I've got a thick tongue," sings 30-year-old Sara Bareilles on "Gonna Get Over You," a playfully sexy bit of doo-wop pop. It's the high point on the follow-up to 2007's Little Voice and its megahit, "Love Song." Bareilles veers between fellow pianists Alicia Keys and Regina Spektor, avoiding either's extremes. ... |
| Mean Old Man |
|
more... |
|
Jerry Lee Lewis is the original, archetypal rock & roll rebel, and he's still pulverizing the piano keys more than half a century after he recorded "Great Balls of Fire." The terrific Mean Old Man — an even better "comeback" record than Lewis' acclaimed 2006 release Last Man Standing — ... |
| Interpol |
|
more... |
|
These dapper New Yorkers were the first band in history cocky enough to call the first song on their debut album "Untitled" — and that only hinted at their mind-boggling pretensions. But after two classic albums, Interpol hit the wall on their 2007 major-label flop, Our Love to Admire. They ... |
| I'm Having Fun Now |
|
more... |
|
Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice are, by all indications, a happy indie-rock power couple. But you wouldn't know it from I'm Having Fun Now. In their solo work, Lewis and Rice are bards of the bummer, and these shapely power-pop numbers are no exception: songs about hard times ("Big Wave") ... |
| Junky Star & the Dead Horses |
|

|
On his own albums and his contributions to Crazy Heart, Ryan Bingham has tried hard to be the next great Texas singer-songwriter: He has the gruff voice, moodiness and melodramatic song titles ("The Poet," "Junky Star"). But on his third disc, his lyrics come off as more cinematic than believable; ... |
| Red Velvet Car |
|
more... |
|
Everybody has a favorite incarnation of Heart — the acoustic hippie troubadour sisters of "Crazy on You"? The arena-rock warriors of "Barracuda"? The bustier-clad glitter queens of "Nothin' at All"? For some fans, Heart's finest moment might be right now, as the Wilson sisters keep making good music years after ... |
| Something for the Rest of Us |
|
more... |
|
The first album in four years from the Buffalo, New York, trio sounds like the darkest moments of previous Goo discs stuck together in a 48-minute marathon of middling angst. For many groups, digging deeper and hitting harder would be a good thing. But when your specialty is multiplatinum pop ... |
| Back to Me |
|
more... |
|
American Idol Season Three winner Fantasia Barrino comes across like an updated Patti LaBelle: She has a big voice equal parts gurgling and throaty, with a predilection for melodrama to go with it. But on her third album, Fantasia's singing is more contained, which fits the modestly scaled material. Fantasia ... |
| Pauper's Field |
|
more... |
|
Raised by a country songwriter dad amid old-school guitarists in Shreveport, Louisiana, 20-year-old Dylan LeBlanc can't help but let his roots show on his debut, with brooding songs built around pedal steel and fingerpicked acoustics. He's got the doomed romanticism of Townes Van Zandt, and his slurry voice shines with ... |
