They followed up with prospects march which is also very good.
I have been listening to this album from more than one year and i haven't stopped yet..Get more detail about Viva La Vida.

City On Our Knees Buy Now


The first few times I heard this single on the radio, I couldn't quite place the artist... which is crazy because Tobymac is one of my favorites of all time! But it's because his voice and style cross into so many different sounds, he truly is a diverse artist with amazing lyrical and musical talents. When I found out this was Tobymac, I became very excited, because I am sure this will be another huge hit that will affect the thoughts and lives of anyone who hears it. The message and the musical qualities of this song have moved me deeply.

Buy this single, you won't regret it! For 99 cents, it is worth it to have (to listen to over and over again!) until the cd comes out in February... and then I'll be buying that too!Get more detail about City On Our Knees.

Saavn Celebrates Bollywood Right now


I love the free downloads here, but let's face it, they can be a mixed bag. Not with this collection - it's fantastic. I don't know a lot about Bollywood music but I know what I like, and every song on here is catchy and danceable, with a lot of touches from American pop music, such as vocal effects, guitar solos, occasional hip-hop flavor, etc.

My favorite is Marjaani. I just keep playing it over and over. I found out it's from a movie that came out this year called "Billu Barber". If you search for that movie title plus the song name on Youtube, you'll find the music video for it, which is also very entertaining.

Overall, a great collection to introduce you to Bollywood music. Grab it now!Get more detail about Saavn Celebrates Bollywood.

Save Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)


I like Beyonce - there's no doubt she has tremendous talent. Sadly, this song is vastly over-produced to the point where her vocals do not shine as they do in her other work. Interestingly, a new-ish band called Pomplamoose has covered this song and it is amazing. Beyonce should take a lesson from this cover as it strips out the Hollywood vocal effects that needlessly distract from a really great underlying song.Get more detail about Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).

Discount Amazon Sampler


I personally like this band. Their sound, if i may describe it, is light retro pop. With a flute line and quirky backing vocal, this Indonesian band brings those happy, sweet sound that isn't on the usual menu for indie music. You may not be able to understand the lyrics, but their music speak for itself. No need for translations.Get more detail about Amazon Sampler.

Cheapest Boldaslove.us Presents: Fire In The Dark


A pretty good compilation overall. There are several enjoyable tunes, but "Freedom is Over" by Sophia Ramos is exceptional; I also liked "The Last Time We're Here" by The Family Stand.Get more detail about Boldaslove.us Presents: Fire In The Dark.

Cheap The Best Of The Sun Years


I noticed Amazon recently removed the descriptor that would tell you approximate bitrate of the files you're "buying" (licensing?). Still...they point to a page that indicates that "where possible" they rip at 256. This is not even *close* for this album. These files average a pathetic 151 VBR. Slowly but surely, I'm losing my buzz about Amazon MP3 and going back to my reliable CD formats. Get more detail about The Best Of The Sun Years.

Buying I Have Come To Claim My Throne


I was originally drawn to the album cover artwork. The brilliant monochrome green just looked so peaceful and nice. Then I listened to the track and my ears lost all sense of peace. This track is primarily noise and a-rhythm. Do not recommend unless you are trying to annoy neighbors or get your parents attention because you dont feel loved.Get more detail about I Have Come To Claim My Throne.

Buy People Are Crazy


Kenny Chesney really messed up recording this and then not putting it on his album!Get more detail about People Are Crazy.

Purchase Dead Sound


Dead Sound is one great "alive" sound with originality and great vocals. If you like originality with a hint of rockabilly, a nice touch of Indie with some punk, progressive and pop influences...it's for you. Fortunately, I do,do,do like "Dead Sound" and think that the band is worth more than a listen. They don't fit neatly in any category adding more to my sincere "like this band" attitude.

Not to be eaten with morning Cheerios, the tempo is something to be awake before enjoying. There's more room in the world for originality, good sound and they certainly deserve their earned place. This one's a winner at the starting gate. You actually hear it from the start and it's progressively better through the song. The musician's come through as artists in arrangement.

Look for them to hit some international charts, they are really quite good.Get more detail about Dead Sound.

Order Cage The Elephant


I have to admit, I first heard the "No Rest For The Wicked" song from the opening scenes of the game Borderlands. Decided I had to find that band right then, and here they are.

Definitely worth the download .. especially so at $2.99.Get more detail about Cage The Elephant.

Shop For Verve Vault Presents: Rhythm, Strings and Cool Breezy Jazz Sampler


This is a great sampler! I found the Ella Fitzgerald song outstanding, and the rest of it also excelent. I recomend the naxos early music (for those with classic inclination) and the daptone records sampler for jazz/funk. Thanks Amazon for the chance of hearing new music!Get more detail about Verve Vault Presents: Rhythm, Strings and Cool Breezy Jazz Sampler.

Blanket Review


I have been in love with this song since I saw the Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's, on "PALLADIA". Her voice is one of the most incredible female vocalist I've ever heard and with Jeff Beck's' guitar this performance is totally mesmerizing, a must see. I've been trying to figure out how to get this song and add it to my library since I saw it, and found this free download for it on Amazon, Awesome! Thanks Amazon.Get more detail about Blanket.

The Climb This instant


I can appreciate talent, and I can appreciate young singers with vocal talent whose voices have not yet fully matured. What I cannot respect under any circumstance is overproduction in the vocal department.

Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' has been one of the greatest, chart-topping songs this year alone. With previous songs such as 'Seven Things' and 'Fly on the Wall,' it was surprising to hear an inspirational piece on such a scope come from Miley, whom I never expected to attempt such a theme. But, despite the lyrics, and despite how well done the song might by done musically, it fails vocally, if only because it is overproduced. Compared to the studio, the live version is filled with so much nasal singing that it makes it almost unbearable to listen to.

Miley Cyrus, while an ambitious young woman, is no one to be admired musically. There are many more talented singers out there that deserve to have a record deal comparable to Cyrus'. Sadly, though, many of them will never get that chance because they don't fit the mold the music industry is trying to fill with vocally-untalented Disney Stars who will appeal to teens and preteens.

'The Climb' is beautiful--lyrically, not vocally.Get more detail about The Climb.

Come Back Darling Immediately


I love, love this song, but the quality is HORRIBLE! I don't know how they converted it but it is very hard to listen since there is so much treble and the volume goes up and down a bit in the actual song. :( Based on this sample I wouldn't buy the rest of cd because of these issues even though it sounds like stuff I would adore. Get more detail about Come Back Darling.

New Divide Get it now!


This new song is my absolute Favorite of theirs, and that says something because it's hard to pick a favorite LP song -there are so many great ones!! The lyrics are cool, and it has a cool sound.Get more detail about New Divide.

Acoustic EP Buy Now


I await these tracks with the utmost of aticipation as my fav playlist loops around while I'm puttering around the house. Her crisp, sultry voice is full of soul and eminates a light natural vibrato that reaches inside of you and makes you -feel- the song. First, the Seafarer is an allegorical ditty probably tied to old english poem about the seafarer in some way as well, who's to know exactly what it means to her? But she talks about what a great man he is and how he is the center of her world. Tempo wise, I would consider it Andante Moderato espressivo, in english, a little faster than walking pace with some exceptions for expressiveness. Overall, when it starts out you're thinking nice voice but who cares about a seafarer, but it builds up into a more emotionally attracting song. If her vocals weren't so strong, it would be lost! Next we have On The Stage, at a little faster pace (allegretto grazioso) but still quite smooth it catches your attention right away. She shows a little bit more of the playful, lilting quality of voice in this piece, although it is still sad tonewise. This one is short, like it was something she wrote at the end of a grueling practice day... Lastly, we have the pleasure of listening to Greatest Love. The vocals have more range in this piece, and she goes between a whispery quality, to a robust one, a weary one, thick vibrato, sadness, reflection. In this song we really get a look -into- Kate Walsh. It's a treat, but it's also a frustrating, sometimes disappointing, and weary place. For listeners, though, these songs are must have to anyone who is creatively inclined, or likes to listen while reading, taking a walk, or just relaxing. If you like Kate Walsh check out Erin McCarley, there is a free acoustic version of one of her songs called Pitter-Pat in the free samples of Amazon and here is the link to the rest of the cd: Love, Save the EmptyGet more detail about Acoustic EP.

Final Frontier Decide Now


Wow! This is a surprisingly good tune with a kind of 60s funk to it. I checked out some other of RJD2's songs, and they seem to be a widely-varied collection, with Final Frontier being the only one I previewed like it. It has a beat that makes your foot tap or makes you want to do some kind of weird, slow, funky dance.

Relative to the Preview, this song varies a little in tempo, but the Preview is representative. At 4:25 long, it gets a tad repetitive, but I'm glad I got it. Get more detail about Final Frontier.
