The whore in me

Did you know I was a music whore? LIKE an OMGIGOTTHATCDTOO! whore.. ? lol.. And I know if you've paid attention its a regular subject here on the blog of doom and happiness AWWWW HUGS!

Well yesterday I had intended to pick up the new Paulina Rubio album. True to form I check the Tuesday updates for the AOL listening parties and low and behold the Fergie album was on there. Now personally I dont really like her single "London Bridge" that much. Its cool, but not my cup of tea. But then again so does everyone else likes it, its being played out. And you really expect the cd to be of that caliber. Boy was that a bad assumption. There are about 2 songs total on the cd that reflect that style including that single. Well reflect a dance style. The other tracks are nothing less than amazing. This cd is soooooo good, i had to tell the world! Well maybe not the world (my 15 or so people who i know read this =p).

So whats so good about it? It really throws you for a loop. You come in thinking its another Black Eyed Peas type of cd. Not at all.. She really sings! The songs are quite smoothe, some neo soul, r&b, a FUNKY old school dedicated tracks. The alubm is VERY smoothe and Im going to say this so dont shoot me. BUT remember when Fugees? And when Lauren Hill released this cd that was nothing short of OMFG!? I have that feeling here, Don't get me wrong, shes no Lauren Hill, (will there ever be another? Pffft) BUT as a SOLO artist she really shines.. Diverse sound, Some New songs that are going to be instant classics. This album is GOLD! GET IT!
