Album Review: Pharrell Williams, “GIRL” (2014)
Pharrell Williams has already cemented himself as a brilliant producer, and no expense is sparred on his own album; each song is perfectly polished, with beats that’ll just want to make you dance.

Album Review: Katy Perry, “Prism” (2013)
It might be almost as much as a surprise to you as it is to me to see that I’ve rated a Katy Perry album with four stars. I have never held back on my dislike of her or her music, and honestly, I never would’ve…
Album Review: Justin Timberlake, “The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2” (2013)
I was quite pleased when Justin Timberlake released his third studio album, The 20/20 Experience, earlier this year. It was easy for me to label it as Timberlake’s best album to date; the disc was filled with catchy pop songs, unforgettable hooks, superb production (from Timbaland and Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon) and,…
Album Review: Miley Cyrus, “Bangerz” (2013)
I don’t really care about Miley Cyrus. I’ve not heard much of her music; I’m 26 years old, and I pride myself in listening to mature, thoughtful music, like Radiohead and Coldplay (never mind all those Britney Spears songs on my Last.fm account). Cyrus’ recent…
Album Review: Lady Gaga, “The Fame Monster” (2009)
I’m not a Lady Gaga hater just for the sake of being one. To be honest, I enjoyed her when her first album was released- before the world proclaimed her as the best thing since sliced bread. Some of my hatred of Gaga and her…
Album Review: Spice Girls, “Spice” (1996)
Earlier today, I was watching an E! True Hollywood Story on The Spice Girls (don’t judge me- I work part-time and have a lot of free time some days!), which in turn, inspired me to dust off one of my old Spice Girl CDs and…
Album Review: Colbie Caillat, “Coco” (2007)
I’ve never seen some of my favourite bands in concert, but I’ve happened to see Colbie Caillat in concert twice. Both times were coincidental- she just happened to be touring with my favourite artists; once, she opened for John Mayer, and another time, she shared…
Album Review: “Muppets- The Green Album” (2011)
The 2011 release of the awesome The Muppets film led me on a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of my favourite childhood characters and shows. I grew up in the early 90’s so my Muppets history mainly contains the late 80’s/early 90’s cartoon, Muppet Babies…
Album Review: Mika, “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” (2009)
I fell in love with British singer-songwriter, Mika, from the moment I heard his first album in 2007. Mika’s debut CD was based around the idea that he was going to be a pop artist, but not the standard one on the radio. He wrote…
Album Review: Josh Groban, “Illuminations” (2010)
It’s sad to see the slow decline of an artist you once loved. I’m not sure if Josh Groban’s music has really gotten worse over the years, or maybe I’ve moved past loving his brand of classical pop music, but either way, I’ve found myself…
