Early career She was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. : 3 Words HHIII FOR all the production and money that's been lavished on 3 Words it never gets close to hitting the innovative heights reached by Girls Aloud. The solemn opening title track is a slick song that oozes quality but it's pretty much downhill from there with one weak 1980s-inspired track following on from the last. It tries to be Kyliestyle dance/pop with an R 'n' B edge, provided by producer Will.I.Am who guests on three tracks and cheekily slips in his 2008 hit Heartbreaker heart·break·er n. 1. One that causes sorrow, grief, or disappointment: "one young and chaste, the other a dissolute heartbreaker of 48; one prim, the other passionate" which has Cheryl on vocals.

FLEETWOOD MAC: The Very Best Of HHHHI WHILE the band initially formed as a blues outfit in 1967, the tracks on this album feature more of their rock and pop output from 1975 onwards, when Fleetwood Mac achieved global success with albums such as Rumours and Tango In The Night. There are lesserknown ballads for the fans and, of course, the hits for newcomers, making this a compilation suitable for everyone.

Well, no-one does gloomy better than Halifax's Paradise Lost and this album is truly a masterpiece of the melancholic mel·an·chol·ic adj. 1. Affected with or being subject to melancholy. 2. Of or relating to melancholia. . Now into their 21st year, the band remain shining lights among the dark world they inhabit and have managed to summon up some of their most aggressive and despairdriven work to date. ANNIE ANNIE Application of Neural Networks for Industry in Europe : Don't Stop HHHHI AFTER five years of label wrangling and false starts, Norwegian pop princess Annie's follow-up to her much-loved and grossly underexposed un·der·ex·pose tr.v. un·der·ex·posed, un·der·ex·pos·ing, un·der·ex·pos·es 1. To expose (film) to light for too short a time or to light or radiation insufficient to produce normal image contrast. 2. debut is finally hitting the shelves. Girls Aloud collaborators Xenomania are among those taking up production duties, while Richard X contributes the majestic lead single Songs Remind Me Of You. Hopefully it'll be second-time lucky and these songs will find the success and exposure they deserve. VARIOUS: Godskitchen - Pure Trance Anthems HHHII HOT on the heels of their recent Anthems 2009 compilation, the massive club Godskitchen returns with a compelling state of the (trance) nation address. Genuine enthusiasts are likely to conclude that Pure Trance Anthems delivers on several levels, offering up the sublime charms of back-in-the-day gems such as BBE's Seven Days And One Week and Fragma's Toca's Miracle. |
