Meester’s voice is strong, sultry and yet vulnerable and gentle. The tone and even texture to her voice have this mysterious and dreamy feel that compels you to press repeat. The thought to press skip doesn’t cross your mind for any of the songs because they are all that good. Listening to the whole album is like embarking on a relaxing boat ride of sweet, soothing melodies accompanied by perfectly strummed acoustic guitars.
The songs vary in tempo. Songs like “Good for One Thing” and “On My Side” pick up the pace and lift you up. But then there are songs like “Dreaming.”

The Infinite Wonders Of Creation - третий сольный альбом итальянского гитариста-виртуоза Луки Турилли.
Альбом демонстрирует постепенный отход Луки от первоначального варианта «эпического звучания» - гитарные риффы стали намного проще, основную роль теперь играют клавишные. Если прибавить к этому сильный вокал Бриджит Фогль, то получается, что новый альбом имеет совсем мало общего с предыдущими работами маэстро.

The Ancient Forest Of Elves - CD-сингл Луки Турилли с его первого сольного альбома Kings Of The Nordic Twilight, вышедшего в том же году. Помимо одноименной песни с альбома, данный релиз включает версию песни Warrior’s Pride, в которую добавлен женский вокал, а также уникальную, нигде более не издававшуюся композицию Knight Of Immortal Fire.

Demonheart - CD-сингл итальянского гитариста-виртуоза Луки Турилли с его второго сольного альбома Prophet Of The Last Eclipse. Помимо уникального трека Black Realms' Majesty, кавера на группу Helloween I’m Alive и стандартной версии песни Demonheart сингл включает в себя две сокращенные, уменьшенные более чем в два раза «радио-версии» заглавных песен двух предыдущих альбомов - Kings Of The Nordic Twilight и Prophet Of The Last Eclipse.

It's Not Me, It's You is the second studio album by English recording artist Lily Allen, released on 4 February 2009 by Regal Recordings and Parlophone. The album was conceived in 2008 with Allen noting a shift in musical style moving away from ska and reggae influences from her debut album, Alright, Still (2006), to an electropop feel with elements of jazz and country. The album was produced and co-written by Greg Kurstin, with whom Allen had previously worked with on Alright, Still.

Backspace Unwind is the long awaited new LAMB album.

Музыка, свободная от ярлыков. Бездна чужих откровений, поглощающая тебя без остатка… Здесь нет грешащих банальностью измышлений, нет шаблонных словесных формул и категоричных ответов. В наличии одно - «гордиев узел» туго переплетенных эмоций, разрубить который пытается лирический герой Мариуша Дуды.
Создание собственной звуковой реальности - процесс занимательный, отчасти мучительный и далеко не всегда успешный.

Pictures is the debut studio album by Trance artist Leon Bolier, released on September 29, 2008.

Legion's sixth release "Tempest" is their most ambitious yet. Both heavy and melodic, Legion bring to mind the sound of Winger, Dokken, Scorpions, and even Foreigner and Boston. Guitarist and producer Vince O'Regan has created layers upon layers of guitar tracks with each one occupying its own space in the sonic spectrum. His production alone challenges the A-list mentors Lang and Baker. Phil Vincent's keen ear for melody is the yang to O'Regan's ying, creating timeless melodies, aggressive lyrical passages, and massive layered vocals, much like Queen in their heyday.

Leon Russell never quite hit all the right notes the way he did on his eponymous debut. He never again seemed as convincing in his grasp of Americana music and themes, never again seemed as individual, and never again did his limited, slurred bluesy voice seem as ingratiating. He never again topped his triptych of "A Song for You," "Hummingbird," and "Delta Lady," nor did his albums contain such fine tracks as "Dixie Lullaby." Throughout it all, what comes across is Russell's idiosyncratic vision, not only in his approach but in his very construction -- none of the songs quite play out as expected, turning country, blues, and rock inside out, not only musically but lyrically. Yes, his voice is a bit of an acquired taste, but it's only appropriate for a songwriter with enough chutzpah to write songs of his own called "I Put a Spell on You" and "Give Peace a Chance." And if there ever was a place to acquire a taste for Russell, it's here.

Russell Leon - американский фолк-рок-певец. Расселл не только вокалист, но и автор песен, продюсер, аранжировщик, предприниматель, мультиинструменталист. Начав свою сольную карьеру в начале 1970-х годов, Леон Рассел по праву считается одной из весьма заметных фигур в рок-музыке за последние 30 лет.

When the multi-talented Lucky Peterson sings of blues in his blood, it's not merely figurative boasting; Peterson's pedigree reads like a partial history of the music.
