Little Miss Taylor Swift.  We see her face everywhere these days. In fact, it wasn’t all that long ago that I saw the blonde country sensation hosting the VMA pre-show. I was actually beginning to wonder if she was just going to surrender her music career or not…

Turns out she didn’t.  Even if pop country singers are a dime a dozen, she’s cuter than most and actually plays guitar (that means she gets props). Her newest album, “Fearless“, dropped today.  While it’s not my thing, I have to admit, the songstress has got some melodically educated people behind her. The songs are catchy and sweet and seem to fit her pretty perfectly. (more…)

How in the world do I begin to announce the CD releases for this week? Maybe it’s the back-to-school rush that has record companies pumping out babies like a celebrity-I’m not sure. Either way, I’ll begin with the most exciting release…which is, undeniably and indisputably, Missy Elliott’s “Block Party“. This one doesn’t actually drop until November 11th (though the date has moved around a few times), but I’m so excited, I coudn’t wait to include it.

In her single, “Best Best”, she shocks listeners with…singing! I think I might have known at some point in my life that Missy Elliott could sing, but I certainly had forgotten until hearing this song. It’s a catchy song, ornamented with her infamous (and yet sexy) lyrics. I’ve always liked Missy Elliott and…I still do. (more…)
