Jahaziel Elliott - Christian Hip Hop v Mainstream Hip Hop

 Click here

Jahaziel Elliott is an emerging UK Christian Hip Hop artist , previously up for a award at the Mobo's. Have a look at his video entitled "My Story" and let me know your views.

Cheryl Cole - Solo or Girls Aloud?

Cheryl Cole has taken the step to emerge as a solo singer, for a while at least. But has her appearance as a judge on X-factor again had its hand in her rise to stardom? Its true that her sound is pop but has her representation of it been a positive one or was she better off in a girl group. Let me know what you think?

Alexandra Burke -True voice?

 

Pop is pop, or is it…?

Alexandra Burke evolved as an artist after appearing on x-factor, talented singer..yes easy on the eye..yes  but is she performing her true style of music or has the x-factor fallacy transformed her into a more “acceptable” package for the Industry ?

Substance or Sound?

In today’s changing world of music it’s got me wondering, what is it about a track that get’s our a feet tapping, body moving or mind wondering off to another place? For me it’s the substance, depth of sound and lyrical content, but what is it for you?
