Eleanor Mcevoy - Eleanor Mcevoy (1997)

Posted: 29 Jan 2009 05:45 AM PST

Both the music and the songs have a quietly powerful beauty, which makes it no wonder that the album helped McEvoy win the Irish Record Industry Award for Best New Artist. Track List 01.

Marc Anthony - Libre (2001)

Posted: 29 Jan 2009 05:31 AM PST

From Amazon.com There's a palpable sense of joy in Marc Anthony's voice. The salsa star and pop sensation may be slight in stature, but when he opens his mouth to sing, the sheer power and passion of his tenor grabs a hold of your heart and makes you sit up and pay attention. The king of contemporary salsa was born and raised in New York City, but as good as Anthony is in his native tongue, he

Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989)

Posted: 28 Jan 2009 03:02 PM PST

Amazon.com essential recording Picking up where the breakthrough funk-pop of Control left off, Janet Jackson and her production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis laced Rhythm Nation with high-minded references to societal ills--seldom the favored province of dance music, but a daring attempt nonetheless. Songs like "State of the World" and "The Knowledge" follow in the tradition of "free your

En Vogue - Masterpiece Theatre (2000)

Posted: 28 Jan 2009 02:00 PM PST

Review by Stacia Proefrock @ allmusic.com Whether it was caused by Dawn Robinson's absence or the questionable manipulations of their production team, En Vogue's first release as a trio, EV3, was a disappointment. Masterpiece Theatre, their second album since Robinson's departure, shows the group in much finer form. The silky-smooth harmonies are still there, combined with forceful solos and

En Vogue - EV3 (1997)

Review by Jose F. Promis @ allmusic.com The '80s produced countless "three girl and a drum machine"-type acts, but 1990 produced the trendsetting quartet En Vogue (courtesy of producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster), who, with their individual vocal skills, sophisticated sense of fashion, sultry videos, and smart singles, went on to become one of the decade's most successful and influential
