CD REVIEWS
Beyonce
Beyonce is as tightly a controlled and deliberately opaque pop
brand as Kylie Minogue.
Safe Trip Home
A well-produced and often well-written album but the
vocals fail to inspire.
Grace Jones - Hurricane
Disco diva's 'weapon of choice' still a real killer.
Funhouse
Pink the pop star takes the lead on her new album.
Year of the Gentleman
Never the best rapper, here Nelly unconvincingly struts about a few
too many times.
Little Honey
It used to be there were two types of Lucinda Williams albums but
Little Honey is not easily categorised.
Watch Me Disappear
This blend of blue-eyed soul, relaxed tunes and subtle rhythm will polarise fans.
Pussycat Dolls
Even if you don't object to the lyrics it's hard to shake the image
of the Pussycat Dolls when you're listening.
A musical triumph, just quietly
A quiet triumph of deceptively simple but devilishly affecting
songwriting.
Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series
There is no such thing as the final or the definitive version of an
album or song for Bob Dylan.
