Category: music reviews
Snow Patrol – Fallen Empires
Fallen Empires is total chill music. The album as a whole has a folk feeling to it mixed with an oldies rock vibe.
SNSD – Gee
The nine-girl group’s comeback releases a wave of dance mania not seen since Wondergirls’ Tell Me. The mini-album consists of five tracks that vary in style and make your ears ache.
SNSD – Oh!
After a very successful year, SNSD is back in the spotlight with their cutesy style that seems effortless in their second album, Oh!
SNSD – Tell me your Wish
SNSD continues to rely on one-hit wonders to sell their mini-albums. The title song of this mini-album is another hit that is sweeping the Korean music charts as Gee did, but to deliver a mini-album that only has one good song is tiresome.
SNSD – The Boys
SNSD are back with their old tricks as they release a very strong title-track, but the rest of their album doesn’t follow it. An album that hardly shows the development of SNSD as a group… but does it matter when you are a die-hard fan?
Sodagreen – What is Troubling You
Taiwanese pop folk rock band Sodagreen meets expectations with their 8th studio album titled What is Troubling You, but kind of disappoints at the same time considering the release of their music video last week.
Solange – A Seat at the Table
Solange’s A Seat at the Table is unapologetically black, brazen in its ethnic hues.
Sophie Ellis Bextor – Make a Scene
Sophie Ellis Bextor’s fourth album, Make A Scene, jumps around too much with varying results, going from disco & electro to undercooked house.
Spacecowboy – Extremely
Space Cowboy gifts music fans one a gorgeous example of form and storytelling with Extremely.
