It may have taken a long time for the Now That's What I Call Music! series to cross the ocean from the U.K. to the U.S., but it was worth the wait, since no other compilations offer such accurate portraits of pop radio -- it's a Polaroid, really, of a particular, brief moment of time. In the case of Now, Vol. 5, it's a Polaroid of the summer of ...
With all the emotional and stylistic range that an album called Moodring should present, Mya comes up with her best and most varied set of songs yet. The album's biggest highlights are almost completely different from one another, demonstrated right from the beginning; the opener, the strutting, boastful, Missy Elliott-produced "My Love Is Like.. ...
In late 2000, pop songbird Mya's second album, Fear of Flying, was re-released with two different tracks, "Free" and "Again & Again." The tracks which were replaced were "For the First Time" and "No Tears on My Pillow." The final result is a much improved album. The two discarded songs were forgettable, tepid ballads, thankfully replaced with ...
YM Hot Tracks collects tracks from youth oriented artists like the Backstreet Boys, Jordan Knight, N Sync, 98 Degrees, Mulberry Lane, Billie, Boyzone, Steps, Sixpence None The Richer, The Moffats and Shanice. The CD also features 2 unreleased tracks that can only be played through a special Internet site. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Richmond-based synth punk outfit VCR is a far cry from new wave revivalists like the Killers and the Bravery, turning out their unique three-keyboard assault with aggression and optimism like no one else on this seven-song EP. At the helm, Chad Middleton rants more often than he croons, as evidenced by the quirky thump of "Rad," in which he urges ...
The stated intention behind Farmclub.com may be the promotion of new acts, but this album of tracks culled from live performances is devoted almost exclusively to recent hits by rap and heavy metal acts. In fact, it easily could be renamed "Greatest Hits of Rap 2000 Live." After starting off with a reunited N.W.A.'s take on Dr. Dre's 1993 hit ...
With her follow-up to her commercially successful debut album, Mya has taken a small step towards shedding her squeaky-clean image and embracing a more mature sound. Many of the best moments on Fear of Flying come with the help of other artists such as Jadakiss of the Lox and Left-Eye from TLC. With producer Swizz Beatz behind the soundboard for ...
1999 Grammy Nominees: Rap is a pretty good survey of some of the year's better hip-hop singles, running the gamut through pop, hardcore, and alternative rap offerings. Highlights are difficult to single out due to the consistency of the material, which is supplied by Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel, the Beastie Boys, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe ...
Upon an initial glance, the track listing for the All About the Benjamins soundtrack isn't too impressive. There aren't many big names here, and the big names that are here offer previously released songs: B.G.'s "Bling Bling," the O'Jays' "For the Love of Money," and Puff Daddy's "It's All About the Benjamins." Furthermore, considering Ice Cube ...
Part of the same synth punk renaissance as the very similar (and unfortunately superior) Epoxies, VCR are a modern version of early-'80s new wave, with a three-synth front line backed by a garagey punk rhythm section. Their first full-length, Power Destiny builds on the strengths of their debut EP: the synthesizers are better integrated with each ...
When Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, and Pink remade the Labelle classic "Lady Marmalade" with Missy Misdemeanor Elliott at the helm, the result was surprisingly successful. The four stars blended their talents together perfectly, and the song, based on airplay alone, topped the U.S. pop charts for five weeks during the summer of 2001. The song ...

United States of Dance collects club and dance pop hits from acts like Funky Green Dogs, Ultra Nate, Monifah, Amber, Faithless, Pure Sugar, and Brian McKnight into an energetic, entertaining collection. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
The U.K.'s Now series features timely selections of pop hits and provides a convenient way for casual pop fans to stay on top of the most popular singles. The sets are almost always naturally well-rounded, encompassing dance music, R&B, hip-hop, teen pop, and rock. And though they might expire, in a sense, since they're based on trends in pop ...
Mya's eponymous debut is a smooth, sultry collection of well-crafted contemporary urban soul that is actually richer than the average urban record the late '90s. Part of its success lies with the teenage Mya, who has a voice that is at once innocent and knowing, and part of it lies with her excellent team of producers and songwriters. Executive ...
