Jennifer Knight-Twinkle And Shine (Single)

 

Just when you start to see some up and coming promising musicians, you hit a bump with one.  This release definitely is indeed that "bump".  "Twinkle And Shine" showcases the ridiculous days of "bubblegum pop" and lousy songwriting skills.  I know this song was digitally released since around April of 2014 (this year), and it's taken me some time to actually admit I heard this track.  It doesn't mean the singer is awful, trust me, she isn't.  It is just that the specific song being reviewed, is such a waste of talent.  It has drawn some attention around the world, and may even be a hit in some areas, but, don't let that fool you at all.  I highly recommend not wasting your Itunes gift cards, or your money on any other digital music outlets.  This singer can't even seem to get an album together, just crafting up single after single after single.  There gets a point to where it becomes awful to the ear, and with "Twinkle And Shine", you actually begin to hear this occur.  I am not trying to be negative, this singer is very polite, a smart fashion display, and a talent.  I just want to be clear that this song in particular, has gone so wrong on so many different levels.  Don't waste your time.

Rating: 2.0/5.0

Alaina Blair-Alive Again (Single)

 

She's back, and she's back in a big way!!  "Alive Again", Alaina's upcoming new single, is one amazing lead off hit, the propels her into even more an afterburner of a world of musical stardom than we even thought she could even exist in before.  Even after one EP, and one excellent album, this single excels beyond the point of no return.  The slower intro of the song, citing, "Broken down, and turned around......." are excellent lead lyrics...then they soar into more lifting lyrics like ""I didn't know that I could fly this high reach out and touch the sky, defy the laws of gravity..........feeling alive again."  Speaking of "lyrics", along along Alaina's side, were the ppowerful forces of well known powerhouses Jane Bach (Reba), and Mr. Billy Alexander himself, who has really been blazing along with the guitar as well, and his writing has been no different.  Those combined skills are a path to stardom for sure!

  The passion of this song is incredible, and holds motivation and definitely designs for her fans a path of belief that she is for real.  Alaina's voice has never been so strong, and the song is so well written, the vocals are so well done, that there is no reason this time Alaina Blair does not hit the charts with a huge bang!  People have got to know this woman, I cannot believe she is not more of a household name, but Alaina is "alive again" now.....and with "Alive Again", written by the best writers out there, Alaina has indeed marked her territory with a musical passion and fury.  Welcome back Alaina, we embrace you, we feel you "Alive Again"!!

Leah Turner-Take The Keys (Single)

 

Ahh, smell that?  That's the smell of two things....sweet success and the scent of a fresh breath of brilliant musician doing her thing.  Leah, so talented and beautiful, has the country world by the strings with this first single, titled "Take the Keys".  It holds one heck of a catchy hook, and Leah has the vocals to power any song, as evident by the track itself.  Having just hit digital retailers in mid-August, Turner has impacted radio far before that.  Becoming a success wasn't an overnight ordeal, and Leah is well aware of this, and it is evident by her lyrical content.  "Let's hit the road and let the engine spark...." describes her sensual and ambitious attitude.  "Take the Keys" is a thrill ride of rocking country persona, and she definitely shows she belongs!  If you have to compare her to any current country artist, it could be hard, because Leah has her own distinctions.  Leah is stunning, vocally strong, lyrically talented, and has ambition to succeed for her fans and family like no other artist in recent memory.  I suppose the likes of a Kellie Pickler, a younger Shania Twain, or even Martina McBride would be suffice in comparison.  That is my opinion, but believe me, you will hear the point I am making, just grab a copy from a link below, and see and hear for yourselves!!  The chanting of "come on, come on, baby...." makes you want to do some dancing, party it up and crank this track top notch where it belong, up high!!  So, "take the keys", pop the song in the player, and turn it up as loud as you can, and do what Leah does best, sing your heart out!!

Jennifer Nettles-That Girl (Single)

 

 One of country music's finest female vocalists, Jennifer Nettles ventured into a solo project, and did so very well. The time has finally come. Her newly released single, "That Girl," just impacting radio on Aug. 19th, is raising the bar for every other mainstream female artist. Keeping true to her roots, Jennifer tosses in jazz, pop and even soulful influences on the new track, balancing out what is commercially viable and what is true to country music-storytelling. While the men continue doing the same thing over again by releasing party song after tired party song. The females continue to deliver quality material that serves as a beacon of hope for all of the "close-minded traditionalists." "That Girl" is a sultry and slinky response to Dolly Parton's iconic song "Jolene." While incorporating such modern production as hand-claps and a sleek shine, Jennifer allows her voice and lyrics to reveal the track's storyline. Here we have a woman down-trodden by the lies of a two-timing man. He's married and seeks after the mistress for some side action. Come to find out, the mistress has no idea he's married. When she does find out, she breaks it off...and calls up the wife to tell her she doesn't "want to be that girl with your guy, to fool you and make you cry." "I knew he was good looking, maybe too good to be true. But when he kissed me in that alley, I could tell there was a you," she sings. Her voice drips with sensual desire but enraptures the lyrics with a bitter edge, almost mysterious, by layering on an attitude that only Jennifer could relate with. There is an air of film to the delivery, ranging back to a 1950's black and white film, perhaps. As her solo debut release, she definitely has a smash hit here. As one-half of the hugely successful duo Sugarland, Jennifer is poised to become the next great solo female artist, despite a huge barrier that most face when attempting to launch a superstar career. She's already a household name, and by releasing such a risky and bold choice, she just might get the attention people everywhere!!

RATING: 9.5/10

Demi Lovato-Heart Attack (Single)

 

Demi has released another number one hit single, and it is fantastic, yet again!!  The

song shot straight up to number one on the digital sales charts, charting very fast on I-tunes within in minutes on the night it was released.  Her appeal is much different than a Britney Spears appeal, and I call it a cross between Christina Aguilera, and Shakira.  To me, that's not a bad comparison at all to be a part of.  Now, on to "Heart Attack", her first single from a forthcoming album release.  "....But when it it comes to you, I'm never good enough"......lines just our in like romance is dying in the melody.  ..."If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack.....every time I try to be myself, I think I'll have a heart attack..".  The song is like a battle of Demi against an make figure, stating she cannot tolerate being near him or seeing him because she would feel some emotional pain, or "burn".  It's a great metaphor, and excellent lyrics.  Most music, with this generalization, lack the lyrical power, but not this song.  Much like her smash hit, "Skyscraper" ,she is a brilliant musical talent, with a great video and performance vision.  This track definitely gets my focus and attention, because I understand and see Demi's attitude within this specific track.  I cannot wait until the entire album is released, I buying it, either digitally or physically.  I suggest you grab up the single for now at one of the links below, and blast some new Demi Lovato!!

Fiction Killer-"All My Enemies Are Dead" (Single)

                    Wow.  This song kicks into high gear right away, and you never stop grooving to it.  With a vocalized intro, it lyrically takes the music world with a vengeance.  "You're going to get what you deserve...." so screams the angry vocals of Omar Montanez, along with the raging guitar and programming of Ty Oliver, and the entire track is laced with the drums of Samus Paulicelli and the thunderous bass power of Finn Stobbe.  I've repeated the track three times now, causing me to delay getting this review done...lol, but my God, you have no idea what you're in for next week.  Fiction Killer is set to blow you away, and they're giving us it all for free....what more can one ask for?  In the beginning of the track, it's repeated that "this is not reality, not reality...."...you'll feel that way because reality doesn't have music this incredibly good.  "All My Enemies Are Dead" might just get me evicted from my apartment, but I can blame Ty for that, or the speakers...lol. "This song has screams, angst, haunting echoes, and lyrics that have me stirring up right now, wanting the whole album immediately....it's becoming a craving.   This, all I'll say, is going to be an amazing Valentine's Day present for anybody that grabs it up.  If you do not, you do not know music.  You also are deaf. LoL.  Fiction Killer is on the scene now, get ready people!
