Usher
Raymond v. Raymond
☻☻☻☻
American R& B superstar Usher was expected to follow on the Confessions album with another jam and he didn’t disappoint. The long awaited album has finally hit the market featuring the several hot hits like ‘Paper’, ‘OMG’ feat Wii.l.Am, ‘Hey Daddy’(Daddy’s Home) and ‘She Don’t Know’ Feat Ludacris.
This great album shows two sides of Usher-Raymond v. Raymond. It reveals two different ways to handle life. The album is about Usher and his personality. He pours out his heart about what he is going through in his personal life and music life. In this album I hear another ‘Burn’ and ‘U Got It Bad’.
Though I was expecting his high profile divorce with Tameka Foster, the death of the influential Michael Jackson to affect the quality of the album, they did not. Usher proves once more that he is the best R&B singer the world has ever known. Don’t miss this jam.
Alicia Keys
The Element of Freedom
☻☻☻☻
Alicia Keys fifth studio album, The Element of Freedom is a boom. I can’t stop repeating the whole tracks over and over again. Her singles ‘Doesn’t mean anything’, ‘Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart’, ‘Wait till You See My Smile’ and ‘Empire State of Mind’ (Part 11) are meant for all parties, clubs and homes. Don’t block your ears from good music. ‘Love Is My Disease’ is meant for young lovers who can’t stay away from each other. The album features the likes of her longtime collaborators Kerry ‘Krucial’, Brother, Jeff Bhasker, Swizz Beatz, and Noah. Ms Keys is an outstanding song writer and vocalist. After hearing these tracks, you will loosen your purse and purchase the album. Like I said, it is a must.
