Artist:
Leona Lewis
It’s not often a former Pizza Hut waitress gets to perform on TV (X Factor) then makes a debut album (Spirit) that outsells the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits compilation two to one. But while the career of Leona Lewis has been an undeniably successful experiment in ‘democratic’ pop, most critics have patiently awaited her sophomore effort before deciding if the singer has what it takes to move beyond a “one album wonder” phenomenon. Simon Cowell and Clive David have subsequently thrown all their weight behind Echo, bringing in a prodigious team of producers that includes Ryan Tedder, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Rudolf, and 90s hit-maker Ma...
 B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L - Is Not Enough, 2010-07-03
Leona Lewis has one of most Beautiful Voices in Music, She is Britains Mariah Carey. All songs are great and each one is very different from her "Spirit Album" but the songs that I love are: Happy, I Got You, Brave, Stop crying you heart out, Lost then found. They are all fantastic songs.
If you are a Leona Lewis Fan.

Artist:
Beyonce
The latest outing from former Destiny's Child starlet Beyonce is an intentionally schizophrenic affair. Splitting herself into two separate characters--herself and alter ego Sasha Fierce--is the artist's way of presenting what she obviously sees as an artistic duality. The first set, I Am... is intended give a glimpse beneath the surface of her usual R&B-pop persona. Featuring recent single "If I Was a Boy," the soaring "Halo", and ballads like "Disappear", and "Ave Maria", it seems her "real" self is way more saccharine than the lady that brought us sassy pop moments like "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". That side of her personality comes rushing back out on Sas...
A very well produced collection of pop, 2010-07-03
There's only so long you can argue with the apparent world domination this woman is close to achieving before you have to stand back and just applaud the sheer variety of material that she can deliver.
I had never really bothered that much with Beyonce (a couple of singles here and there aside) but I finally had to convert with this album. Showcasing her vocal and pop range with everything from the elegant balladry of 'If I Were a Boy' (which seems bland at first yet winds it's way tightly round your brain and stays there), 'Halo' and 'Broken Hearted Girl' to the energetic 'Sweet Dreams' and future classic 'Single Ladies' Beyonce proves she has complete mastery of both herself and her career. Though the tracks here are re-ordered from the original album it's not really a bad thing and the bonus DVD features some of the videos to her recent major hits.

Artist:
Stevie Wonder
Songs in the Key of Life was the highest high-point of Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this 2 LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for "Gangsta's Paradise", but in the cold-as-ice synthesized string quartet of "Village Ghetto Land". This is Stevie, so naturally that cut's anger is balanced by the ultra-buoyant "I Wish," "Sir Duke", and "Another Star". --Rickey Wright
The Greatest of one of the Greatest, 2010-05-02
Simply the greatest album he ever did. He composed, produced, sang and played most of the instruments (bar the horns, bass, and some female backing vocals, I think).
There has rarely been such a consistently stunning album by any artist. One wonderful track is followed by the next. It still sounds great today.
My very personal favourite is the very first track 'Love's In Need Of Love Today', but that is just a personal choice.
It marked the zenith Stevie Wonder's career, following 'Talking Book' and 'Innervisions', great albums in their own right.
He did only little more good stuff thereafter on his next two albums; 'Hotter Than July' had some good moments ('Happy Birthday'), and 'The Secret Life of Plants' has not been recognised for its greatness in trying to show the non-blind how a blind person can 'see' with sounds and music. However, by but then his zenith was clearly over and nothing since has ever come anywhere near the stellar heights of 'Songs In The Key Of Life'.

Great Buy, 2010-07-13
Great purchase. I have always liked Alicia Keys music, I originaly wanted to buy these albums as my wedding song is on one of them. After listening to them, all three albums are great in different ways, they have lots different songs I hadn't heard. Would really recommend, especially as they are a great price.

Better than the original, 2010-07-19
Strangely enough I heard this song in a bar on a night out only two days ago. After hearing it, I immediately went home to download the song. However, the song wasn't available yet. Had to patiently wait 2 days. Bizarrely enough the song is not on iTunes. The song is much better than the original, with a bit more dance feel to get you in the right sprit for whatever you're doing.

Artist:
Jason Mraz
Since 2002’s jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Make It Mine" and "Butterfly" refer back to the catchy style of previous albums, there are many other styles and textures on display here. His duet with Colbie Caillat, "Lucky," for example, explores his folkish, acoustic side, as does the compelling "Details in the Fabric," both of which are excellent songs. Mraz gets a little more experimental on "Coyotes," which toys with a clubby ...
Love this album, 2010-07-09
I've bought extra copies of this album to give to friends because I think good things should be shared. Jason Mraz has got a wonderful voice and his lyrics encompass young love, sexy-sex and poignant memories of childhood. I haven't taken this on holiday with me yet but I think it would be perfect.

Artist:
Sade
With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylisation of "Your Love Is King". Her voice was often criticised for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel", on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime". "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of me...
gorgeous, sultry, amazing, sexy, 2010-07-28
I love this CD - I came across it by accident and had no hesitation purchasing it. The evening it arrived I chilled with a glass of wine and it was just heavenly to listen to. I'm surprised I could remember every single word of all her songs considering I hadn't heard them for the best part of 20 years!!! Sade has the most stunning, sultry, sexy, beautiful voice and it is the perfect chill out (or insert another word......... ;) here!)
I have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful CD
