Review: “i hate love (feat. Steve Martin)” by Kelly Clarkson

“Opposites attract” is an old cliché, but it’s true… contradictions and contrasts are what make life more interesting.

If this is Spicy, so is BBQ sauce. After creating a strong buzz in the fall with “Took Us A Break”, Lil’ Kim fails to keep the fire going on “Spicy”. She’s joined for the first time by fellow NYC legend Fabolous. The two cut the track barely a week

Album Review: Tamar Braxton’s a “Bluebird of Happiness”

Mariah Carey·Music·Now·Reviews

I love Tamar Braxton because she’s one of the few R&B artists who’s still true to that traditional sound, even when radio and trends show that it’s a bit outdated. So, no, I didn’t forget that her album came out a few weeks ago, but I needed the right amount
