  • Saravah Soul: Cultura Impura

    Updated: 2010-12-23 15:24:10
    Check Our Catalog “Released in 2008, Saravah Soul’s self-titled debut combined samba, vintage MPB, greasy American funk, and Afro-beat and took the club underground by storm. Cultura Impura (”Impure Culture”) is simply more; both in terms of what the band revealed, and in the truly amazing extensions they’ve added to their fiery mix. In addition to [...]

  • Karen Elson: The Ghost Who Walks

    Updated: 2010-12-18 20:27:44
    Check Our Catalog “With previous projects ranging from the political cabaret of the Citizens’ Band to the garage punk tantrums of Mildred and the Mice, Elson has her share of musical experience, but with such wide-ranging credits, it was anyone’s guess what her own album would sound like. On The Ghost Who Walks, she runs the [...]

  • Flamingo: Flamingo

    Updated: 2010-12-18 20:23:02
    Check Our Catalog “The Killers frontman, once the strutting peacock of mid-aughts new-wave revivalism, follows a less-brazen bird on his solo debut, Flamingo. Both Flowers and Flamingo are unmistakably colored by his Vegas origins, but his sound has been worn to a richer patina here.” –Entertainment Weekly

  • The Jonas Brothers: Jonas L.A.

    Updated: 2010-12-18 19:58:04
    Check Our Catalog “The Jonas Brothers leave behind stiff mature soul for bubblegum pop that’s perhaps not as snappy as A Little Bit Longer but a lot closer to that fizzy rush than anything they’ve done since 2008. After a few years of the JoBros attempting to sound older than their years, this switch is a [...]

  • Elton John/Leon Russell: The Union

    Updated: 2010-12-18 19:50:01
    Check Our Catalog “The Union is a rare gesture in a dying business: an act of gratitude. Elton John repays a long-standing debt of inspiration to Leon Russell — particularly the rowdy merger of soul, country and gospel rapture Russell perfected as a writer, pianist and arranger on 1969 and ‘70 albums by Joe Cocker and [...]

  • Kenny G: Heart and Soul

    Updated: 2010-12-18 19:22:09
    Check Our Catalog “There are plenty of familiar sounds and grooves peppered throughout Heart & Soul — his soprano sax always stays in its sweet spot, the synthesized funk rhythms keep things tight, while the glaze of electric pianos keeps things smooth, the melodies of the songs threaten to turn into covers but never go all [...]

  • Jamey Johnson: The Guitar Song

    Updated: 2010-12-18 19:15:54
    Check Our Catalog “Jamey Johnson’s music is hard, like a metal slide on a pedal steel guitar; it’s real, like the kernel of truth within the tall tales swapped by studio musicians after much Jack Daniel’s has been consumed. It’s a consummate blend of artifice and self-revelation, an intricately crafted container for elemental stuff – the [...]

  • Maroon 5: Hands All Over

    Updated: 2010-12-18 19:00:15
    Check Our Catalog “Track for track Hands All Over is Maroon 5’s best album, capturing their character and craft in a cool, sleek package.” –All Music Guide

  • The Priests: Noel

    Updated: 2010-12-18 18:52:05
    Check Our Catalog “After selling over three million copies of their first two albums, the Priests turned their focus to the winter holidays. NOËL finds the ministers harmonizing their way through a number of Christmas standards, with an emphasis on traditional carols.” –All Music Guide

After all it is the music that inspires us to dance in a certain . way You dance differently to a classic swing song than you would do to a rhythm n' blues song or a hot jazz song .
