It's true. I love music, but I have no iPod. I've never had one, and still gaze upon them longingly as I pass the Apple display case at the store. It's not that I don't want one, it's just that there have always been other things that I wanted or needed more. Plus, there are so many options available now, it's not totally necessary to have an iPod, or any other MP3 player for that matter. I'm a huge fan of both Spotify and Pandora, and use them frequently, both at home and on my phone. I still have my pick of huge galleries of music from all my favorite genres without shelling out the … [Read more...]

I've been excited to see Beautiful Creatures for a while now, but I had no idea that one of its stars, Emmy Rossum, had an album coming out on January 29th too. Talk about a big month. I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to review a copy of Rossum's Album, Sentimental Journey. I loved her portrayal of Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera (2004), so I knew it would be beautiful. When I saw the tracks on the album I got really excited. I'm a huge fan of the silky smooth tunes of the 40s, 50s and 60s and have always loved songs like "Sentimental Journey" and "Summer Wind." … [Read more...]

I've been a Rascal Flatts fan since their first single, "Prayin' for Daylight" hit the radio waves in 2000. Over the past 12 years they've released seven albums and when I was given the chance to review their eighth, the recently released Changed, it took me all of a millisecond to reply with a resounding "YES, PLEASE!" I was actually a little worried that the title, Changed, was an indicator that they were switching gears and going in a different direction with their sound, which has always been a perfect mix of country and rock. I'm not the kind of gal who likes when artists with a … [Read more...]

Yanni “Truth of Touch” Album Review

truth of touch review

When it comes to music, I genuinely enjoy most genres, so when I was offered the opportunity to review Yanni's newest album, Truth of Touch, I totally had to go for it. A girl never knows when she's going to find something new that she really likes. I listened to Truth of Touch several times, and each time picked out new, cool elements that he'd used to put his songs together. I have limited experience with Yanni's previous works, so I wasn't sure just exactly what to expect. Truth be told, I went into my first listen thinking the album would be a pleasant blend of melodies, that would … [Read more...]
