Remy Shand – The Way I Feel
Artist: Remy Shand Title: The Way I Feel Label: Motown Rating: 7/10 Remy Shand is a white boy with one hell of a soulful voice. Heat me up: “The Way I Feel” – a chance for Shand to show off his deep soulful voice. A little on the right of Jamiroquai and somewhere down the…

Alanis Morissette – Under Rug Swept
Artist: Alanis Morissette Title: Under Rug Swept Label: Maverick Rating: 7.5/10 Who: Alanis Morissette. Come on you know who she is. Style: Alanis all the way. Keep this above: “Hands Clean” – An absolute coming out. Alanis goes raw on a former mentor who was given fame because of Alanis. Who also received some sexual…

Ben Kweller – Sha Sha
Artist: Ben Kweller Title: Sha Sha Label: ATO Rating: 5.5/10 Ben Kweller is only twenty and already shows he’s ready to rock with the likes of Ben Folds. Sha Sha: “Wasted & Ready” and “Commerce, TX” – they’re not great, more interesting. “Walk On Me” – a good song about failed love. “Falling” – a…

M2M – The Big Room
Artist: M2M Title: The Big Room Label: Atlantic Rating: 6/10 M2M finds The Big Room a lot more open than the Shades Of Purple as they take their sound to a more mature and heavy level. “Jennifer” springs to life a cute harmony about a girl that has it all while having nothing at all.…

Deepsky – In Silico
Artist: Deepsky Title: In Silico Label: Kinetic Rating: 8/10 From the electronic production duo that brought us underground party anthems “Stargazer” and “Legend”, Deepsky releases their first full-length debut for all to cherish.

Cher – Living Proof
Artist: Cher Title: Living Proof Label: Warner Bros. Rating: 5/10 Cher still has life left in her career, listen I’m as surprised as the next person. After “Believe” cleaned up the top forty no one thought she could do it again. Well here she comes. Get up and dance: “Song For The Lonely” – is…

Gorillaz – G-Sides
Artist: Gorillaz Title: G-Sides Label: Virgin Rating: 5/10 Gorillaz released the successful self-titled album not long ago. In case you were living in a hole and didn’t know that Blur’s front man Damon Albarn fronted the group with Dan The Automator running the boards, than you know now. This f*&king rocks: “19-2000” – is a…

Reverend Horton Heat – Lucky 7
Artist: Reverend Horton Heat Title: Lucky 7 Label: Artemis Rating: 7.5/10 There is no one doing rockabilly today like the Reverend Horton Heat. He has been killing us with melody whether it’s punk, pop, or whatever. He is relentless and his music shows that. “Like A Rocket” is rockabilly at its best. It proves that…

George Harrison – All Things Must Pass
Artist: George Harrison Title: All Things Must Pass Label: EMI Rating: 9/10 George Harrison was more than his ‘quiet Beatle’ moniker could attempt to sell. George Harrison wasn’t just a guitar player for the greatest band ever. He was a grand artist in his own right. All things Must Pass was his most magnificent solo…

Injected – Burn It Black
Artist: Injected Title: Burn It Black Label: Island Rating: 6.5/10 Injected has one good thing going for them, they brought in the songsmith Butch Walker of the Marvelous 3 to produce. However aside from the heavier riffs of “Faithless” you can tell it’s from the school of M3. “Burn It Black” is back to basic…
