Madonna: 13 Songs Of 'Celebration' Behind even the most jaded facade beats the heart of someone with powerful memories of Madonna. A pop icon with an undeniable gift for provocation and reinvention, the singer-writer-producer-actor has entered her 50s as a regal sort of musical stateswoman. But in the past 30 years, she's been virtually everything else: a superstar, a lightweight, an unapologetic sex object, a godzillionaire businesswoman, a movie star, an author (of sorts) and a dance-floor-filler of the highest order...

Le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que cet homme-là ne laisse pas indifférent. Si la France profonde se retrouve parfaitement dans ses prises de position chantées, l'intelligentsia a trouvé en lui le souffre-douleur idéal ! Courageux pour certains, démago pour les autres, nul en tout ça ne met en doute son talent de chanteur. Du reste, les ventes de ses disques et la fréquentation de ses spectacles se passent de commentaires. A vous de juger.

Turns out that one of the products of communist Hungary during the '70s was an amazing selection of psychedelic rock bands. Who knew? Well, clearly the folks at Finders Keepers have been in on this for a while, because they cottoned on to the alluring wigouts of Sarolta Zalatnay a while back, reissuing her eponymous LP to glowing reviews a good twenty-five years or so after its original release. As this album demonstrates, Zalatnay was by no means a one-off. Artists like Kati Kovacs, and bands such as Skorpios and Piramis were all experimenting with adventurous, prog-tinged funk rock.

The Moody Blues are always surprising; when one thinks they're dead, they re-appear in a great mood! They should change their name to The Moody Phoenix or something like it. Well, that's the case with "Keys Of The Kingdom", a nice extra temporal work, not really progressive but honestly agreeable and tasteful.

There are three very good songs on this album. The best is probably Justin Hayward’s hit single, “Your Wildest Dreams.” It has some of the epic grandeur of their past material while retaining a modern sound. It has a wonderful lead vocal by Hayward while the lyrics explore the experience of first love. It would reach the American top ten on Billboard’s Pop Charts plus number one Adult Contemporary and number two Mainstream Rock. It attracted a new generation of fans. Also of note was the second successful single, “The Other Side Of Life,” which is a nice and smooth pop rocker plus John Lodge’s power ballad, “It May Be Fire,” which closes the original release.

Hackney-born 25-year-old singer Paloma Faith has been collecting critical acclaim throughout 2009, and it’s easy to see why. Her songs shine with soulful pop perfection and the unmistakable stamp of her inimitable persona. She draws on influences as diverse as Billie Holiday, Etta James, P J Harvey and Edith Piaf.

Singer Al Jarreau's double album, Look to the Rainbow, is easily the most jazz-oriented of all of his Warner Bros. recordings.
