Britney Spears – Britney
Artist: Britney Spears Title: Britney Label: Jive Rating: 45/10 No, she didn’t do it again. Britney Spears is embarking on a new trip with her latest album, Britney. It’s more adult, but her step away from her true bubble gum roots may squash her. “I’m A Slave 4 U” comes out telling us that she’s…

Lindsay Pagano – Interview
The most refreshing thing about speaking with Lindsay was her ability to stay in the realm of reality. She keeps a face that is calm, but not exactly ready to explode with joy just because she has a record coming out. “I know that I may never be a star. This could all just go…

Michael Jackson – Invincible
Artist: Michael Jackson Title: Invincible Label: Epic Rating: 6/10 Michael Jackson is running an attitude throughout, even calling the album Invincible.

Jermaine Dupri – Instructions
Artist: Jermaine Dupri Title: Instructions Label: So So Def Rating: 4/10 Jermaine Dupri is the proven hit maker.

The Verve Pipe – Interview with Brian
What are you up to? Doing some radio tours. Working the promotion machine? Yeah. Shaking a lot of hands. Back to the basics? Yeah, back to the basics. I don’t understand radio, but I couldn’t figure how there wasn’t three or four singles. RCA got really nervous when “Hero” didn’t hit. They spent so much,…
