Lyrics

It seems that both the old and new artists are gonna utilize the remaining period to release their great albums to the market and push the music wave to the next stage and also look for consumers' money in the pocket during X'mas time for a big spending, e.g. return of Eagle with new album, reunion concert of Spicy Girls as hit gal power in late 90s, etc. No matter if they could still achieve the same influence and maintain popularity as before, it's good for us to have more variety of music.

Artist - Chris Brown / Album - Exclusive / Category - R&B

Takes time to figuring out what the good songs are inside....not the one like 'love at first hearing' to me.

Intro (Ukoo) - 'Chris Brown's 2005 eponymous debut was a runaway hit, thanks to the single "Run It," which shot to the top of the Billboard singles chart straight out of the gate. Brown's sophomore effort, EXCLUSIVE, mines a similar vein of hip-hop-tinged R&B with a strong pop sensibility, as the infectious lead-off single, "Wall to Wall," proves.

Assembling a first-rank crew of producers, including Scott Storch, Sean Garrett, Brian the Underdogs, and will.i.am., Brown keeps a cutting edge, commercial appeal in mind by delivering a disc that sounds tailor-made for young contemporary audiences. Brown's balance between club-ready dance tunes and smooth love balladry is finely honed here, and while the longevity of the singer's career is still uncertain (Brown was shy of 20 years old when the record was released), EXCLUSIVE proves his debut was no fluke.'

Artist - Westlife / Album - Exclusive / Category - Pop

Keeping level as before with love songs characterized by Westlife's vocal.

Intro (Ukoo) - '2007 from the reigning kings of Pop, their ninth album overall. The Irish boyband have sold 36 million albums, not forgetting their 14 UK #1 singles. Back Home contains twelve brand new songs with production credits including Quiz Larossi, Per Magnusson and Rami. Features the first single, 'Home'. RCA.'

Artist - Boyz II Men / Album - Motown A Journey Through Hitsville USA / Category - R&B

Strong retro atmosphere back to flavor of hit songs in 90s for the whole album to me, and better than the first album after return last year. Their unique vocal will comfort you for the quiet nite...

Intro (Ukoo) - 'On November 13, 2007 the Decca Label Group will be releasing a new Boyz II Men CD that will be a tribute to some of Motown's Classic songs including The Temptations "Just My Imagination", The Miracles "Tracks Of My Tears", The Four Tops "Reach Out I'll Be There" and more all produced by American Idol's Randy Jackson.'

Artist - Alicia Keys / Album - As I am / Category - R&B

May be the most surprising and expected R&B album for the remaining period of this year. Hits the number one in Top Billboard 200 album, Top R&B / Hip-Hop Album since the 1st week release. Sexy voice with unique way of performance. Similar to John Legend who is also a R&B and Soul singer.

Intro (Ukoo) - ' Alicia Keys (born Alicia J. Augello-Cook on January 25, 1980) is an American R&B and soul singer, songwriter, pianist, record producer, actress, philanthropist, and author who has sold over twenty million albums worldwide and has won numerous awards, including nine Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards, and three American Music Awards.

Since late 2006, Keys worked on her third studio album, As I Am—as confirmed in a red-carpet interview at the 2007 BET Awards on June 26—, which is due out on November 13, 2007. Keys has talked to MTV about her upcoming album: "It's coming together incredibly. I am in love with this album. It's very fresh and new". The album is said to feature John Mayer on two songs—"Lesson Learned" and "Heavy Times". Linda Perry and Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry also collaborated with Keys.'

Artist - Craig David / Album - Trust Me / Category - R&B

Featuring medium to fast rythmn bringing you non-stop feeling like in the dance-floor.

Intro (Ukoo) - 'The UK's prince of R&B returns after a two year absence with his hotly anticipated fourth studio album. Recorded in Havana and produced by Martin Terefe (A-Ha, Mutya Buena), 'Trust Me' sees David bringing together a host of musical styles ranging from funky Latin beats to rock guitar riffs and mixing catchy dancefloor gems and sentimental ballads to produce a diverse, slick and stylish slice of urban artistry, which focuses on his trademark talents of vivid lyrical imagery and smooth vocal stylings. Includes the single 'Hot Stuff (Let's Dance).' '

When my friend drove me home last nite after dinner, he described me as a 'crazy music downloader' whom he could always finds the most up-to-date pop music from simply by looking at my msn icon. And in this way, he did find good songs for listening as well sometimes. Ha...he might be a bit exaggerated, but it's true that i always look for new albums in the internet.

I remember that in the past, we used to listen to a new album for quite a long time until the next one. But with the vast resources in the internet nowadays, it's not difficult for us to get lots of up-to-date albums from chinese, engish, spanish, japanese, etc. Such overwhelming availability shortens the duration of each album that you might spend on. This is also a problem i will have now. Sometimes, i did find some songs in Album A good, but i could not figure them out very soon coz i almost forget which albums they are in. The good things is that you could 'taste' the variety of songs from different artists in the world. I also find the lyrics in some songs are quite get-to-the-point, and tell exactly what you might be thinking at that moment.

I notice that some 'great' artists will soon release their new albums in the coming three months just before the end of the 2007. Take a look at the albums released in Oct that you might be interested.

Artist: Backstreet Boys
Album: Unbreakable
Category: Pop
Description: Similar to last album 'Incomplete'. Though it's said to be an album of variety combining pop elements back to mid 90s and up-to-date rock rhythm, it seems that they are not BSB of 90s any more. Still, good songs could be found here but just presented in an alternative way of performing. 'Inconsoable', 'Somthing that I already know', 'Trouble is', 'Treat me right', 'Love will keep you up all night', 'Unmistakable',

Artist: Sean Kingston
Album: Sean Kingston
Category: R&B / Hip-hop
Description: New pop faces always arise every year. Young guy from Jamaica @ 17 yrs old only with funny face. Full of Jamaica atmosphere in the MTV. R&B songs sounds better than those Hip-Hop ones in this album. 'Me love', 'Beautiful girls', 'Dry your eyes', 'There's nothin' 

Artist: Jennifer Lopez
Album: Brave
Category: Pop/R&B
Description: Described as "dance, funk, R&B, hip-hop, all that stuff, all mixed up together to make some great pop music". Still keep the level all along. 'Hold it don't drop it', 'Gotta be there', 'Never gonna give up', 'Be mine', 'I need love', 'Wrong when you're gone', 'Brave'

Artist: Keyshia Cole
Album: Just like you
Category: R&B
Description: "Just Like You is the second album by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole, Cole started work on her second album shortly after the release of her debut "The Way It Is". About the album, Cole says, "This album is more about you, inside, and how you need to get yourself together, rather than pointing at somebody else and saying, 'You don't treat me right, you don't do this.' I'm truly lovin it, I listen to it myself. The last album, I didn't really listen to until I went on tour. [Because] when you listen to your own experience, it's like, I don't wanna hear it anymore. I do write from my personal experiences, but I think it's very important to young women." - Ukoo music ....great album that can't be missed

Maybe the summer is coming and the temp is going up a bit during the morning time, i begin to have trouble in sleeping much more and getting up late like before. And the consequence? Getting tired soon during the day time especially in holiday time when i usually sleep late at nite until 2 or 3 pm. Turning on the mp3, there's a voice hitting on my ear again. It will just comfort you...

"It becomes self-evident the moment you hear her sing the very first note of her very first EP. That EP was called "Like A Star", and it showcases a slice of sublime Billie Holiday blues delivered with a voice that pins you, in the softest but most persuasive of ways, to the wall; a voice that floats up effortlessly, full of caress, subtlety and the very purest quality. It is wonderful, this voice, and surely a discovery to treasure, but it belongs to a young woman not from somewhere musically exotic--say, Mississippi or even Manhattan--but just east of the M1: Leeds. Her name is Corrine Bailey Rae, and she was born to do this. "
