Usher Raymond is the new teenage sweetheart of R&B. Although he's been lumped in with the genre's other young artists (Tevin Campbell, Immature and others), Usher comes forth with a more developed sound, mainly due to the maturity of his vocal style. Distinctly sculpted to appeal to members of his own generation, Raymond's full-length debut, USHER, unites some of the R&B's hottest producers to aid his cause. On the Devante Swing-written and choreographed "Can You Git Wit It," Usher proves that he could easily be the fifth member of Jodeci or a young Al B. Sure, who himself guest stars on "The Many Ways" and works the boards for "Slow Love." But listeners shouldn't doubt that Usher is his own artist, as his ability to harmonize and take control over phat tracks like "I'll Make It Right" clearly demonstrates.
Usher delivers more than the typical '90s R&B feel. With its samples and break beats, his music is extremely hip-hop-oriented in both its content and production values. One reason for this is Sean "Puffy" Combs, who is responsible for the ascension of artists such as Mary J. Blige and The Notorious B.I.G., and plays a major role on USHER. "Puffy" adds his particular brand of hip-hop flava to the album through a studied choice of appropriated grooves--including James Brown's "Blind Man Can See It" and Ronnie Laws' "Tidal Wave"--well-known to rap fans. Yet rather than diverting the listener's attention, the backing tracks serve to highlight Raymond's remarkable vocal prowess, and the lethal combination helps make USHER an impressive success.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Usher
$6.39
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the spring of 2002, a year and a half after "In Blue" and its accompanying single "Breathless" broke down the doors in America for the U.S. Only two songs on this set list are shared with In Blue, but that doesn't mean that the group returns to their slightly more traditional Celtic roots on the remainder of the songs. Sure, there are hints of that, but there are ...

| | M*A*S*H DVD (1970) Widescreen
Usher
$10.49
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic ...
| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Usher
$8.49
Personnel: Nathan Calvin (vocals).
Audio Mixer: Terry Date.
Recording information: Studio Litho, Seattle, WA.
Editor: Ingrid Erickson.
Arranger: Chris DeGarmo.
It makes sense that Terry Date produced Catch Without Arms, Dredg's second record for Interscope. The producer is a veteran of Deftones albums, and it's that band's rich but still rocking palette that's the intent here. And they succeed. Like past Dredg releases Catch has a conceptual flow. But openers "Ode to the Sun" and "Bug Eyes" focus the grandeur and meandering pace of the band's past work around effective melodies and a steadiness in the rhythm. The choruses emphasize the Bono/Chino Moreno in Gavin Hayes' vocal, and when the rhythm drops out for a contemplative piano moment, nothing feels forced because this is what Dredg has been working toward for years. It's not like in the blurry emo world, where string sections crash regularly into soliloquies and it usually just ends up as melodrama. Catch Without Arms looks to groups like Deftones and At the Drive-In, but there's also a tremendous capacity in Dredg for straightforward pop. The title track is a standout, as is "Zebraskin," which with its keyboards and silky beat could be ...

| | Meters Zony Mash CD (2003)
Usher
$11.59
For the first time anywhere - an entire album filled with vintage rarities and non-album B-sides by the Meters, all glittering gems by New Orleans' wizards of slinky funk. Zony Mash finds the Meters at the top of their game with a rump-rolling concoction that will have you moving in three different directions at once! 13 tracks. Sundazed. 2003.
The Meters: Leo Nocentelli (vocals, guitar); Art Neville (vocals, keyboards); George Porter, Jr. (vocals, bass guitar); Joseph Modeliste (vocals, drums).
Zony Mash rounds up 13 tracks from the Josie era that didn't appear on the Meters' first trio of albums in the late '60s and early '70s, eight of them from non-LP singles, five of them from the bonus tracks added to Sundazed's CD reissues of those LPs. As such, it's not recommended as one of the first Meters albums to buy if you're just starting to build a collection of the band's work. Actually, however, were this the first album of Josie-era material you were to hear or buy, it wouldn't disgrace the band's legacy by any means. On both vocal and instrumental numbers, the band offers first-rate tight yet rubbery funk-soul. And it's not like this stuff went totally unheard at the time: three of the songs ("A Message from the Meters," "(The World Is a Bit Under the Weather) Doodle-Oop," and "Stretch Your Rubber Band") were small R&B chart hits. Plenty of contemporary soul-funk influences are floating around, like Booker T. & the MG's on "Soul Machine" ...
| | Disco Sessions CDs (2003)
Usher
$9.99
Distilling an entire genre, style, era, or even scene down to one representative compilation is almost always an impossible duty. The people who put together these Sessions discs, through the U.K.-based Union Square, know this. These people also realize that what they're doing has been done hundreds -- if not thousands -- of times over, but most of the discs that came before have failed in providing something more than just another quick cash-in. Like all of the other volumes in the Sessions series, Disco Sessions takes up two discs, alternating well-known favorites with less-recognized underground singles. The inclusions are often provided in their 12" mixes, as they were meant to be enjoyed; most disco compilations cram as many single edits onto one disc as possible, figuring that the sheer number of tracks will be the key selling point. The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor, Chic, and KC & the Sunshine Band are not featured. Instead, there's Pam Todd & Love Exchange ("Let's Get Together"), Vaughan Mason & Crew ("Roller Skate"), New Jersey Connection ("Love Don't Come Easy"), and AM-FM ("You Are the One") -- groups whose songs continue to be spun by keen disco/house DJs. Al Green, Heatwave, MFSB, the Fatback Band, and the Whispers represent the instantly recognizable sect of contributors, making the set more attractive for those who aren't necessarily looking to pick this up to fill tiny gaps in their disco collection. Another benefit is that Sessions doesn't view disco as a style with a strict beginning and end; in their eyes, it's more of a continuum. ...

The Boys-Into-Men Program, Inc. ("Boys-Into-Men") is a non-profit, juvenile and adult delinquency self and substance abuse prevention program, primarily, for African-American males from "High Risk" environments. "Boys-Into-Men" was founded in 1990, incorporated and determined 501(c)(3) eligible by the Internal Revenue Service in 1992. The mission of "Boys-Into-Men" is to help African-American males make the successful physical, mental and spiritual transition from boyhood to responsible adulthood. "Boys-Into-Men" engages participants who are economically disadvantaged, poor achievers, chronic failures, those who lack bonding and commitment to school, as well as, those who lack a positive self-image, religious and commonly held social values. "Boys-Into-Men" participants are taught independence, self-control, discipline, responsibility, to cooperate with one another, how to settle differences in non-violent ways and to internalize social skills which will make a difference in the direction they focus their lives. "Boys-Into-Men" helps participants learn to build their self-esteem and image among their peers, structure their time, occupy their minds, earn legitimate income and direct their energies into positive channels."Boys-Into-Men" has five (5) program components: Academic Enrichment, Character Affirmation, ...
| | Funeral For A Friend Tales Don't Tell Themselves CD (2007)
Usher
$12.55
Funeral for a Friend: Gareth Davies, Ryan Richards, Darran Smith, Kris Coombs Roberts, Matthew Davies .
Additional personnel: Lianne Francis (vocals); Emma Welton, Laura Melhuish, Juliet Snell, Liz Partdrige, Katherine Shave, Claire Thompson, Jayne Harris, Joan Atherton, Fenella Barton, Boguslaw Kostecki, Ann Mordee, Robert Salter (violin); Jane Atkins, Peter Collyer, Peter Lale, Sue Dench (viola); Ann Lines, Harry Napier, Nick Cooper , Andrew Fuller (cello); Richard Bissell, Richard Watkins (French horn); Elizabeth Bradley, Corin Long (bass guitar); Luis Jardim (cowbells); Nigel Thomas (timpani); Heather Cairncross, Jacqueline Barron, Clare Henry, Andrew Butler, Helen Rathbone, Gerard O'Beirne, Micaela Haslam, Amanda Morrison (background vocals); Audrey Riley.
Moving away somewhat from the post-hardcore formula that characterized the band's first two albums, Funeral for a Friend's 2007 release, TALES DON'T TELL THEMSELVES, edges closer to traditional rock territory. The emo-tinged themes are still in place, however, as are a bevy of slicing guitar riffs and pummeling thunder from the rhythm section, but the Welsh quintet are clearly re-defining themselves here. Still, even though these young rockers occasionally trade screamo for orchestration (there are string sections on tunes like "Raise the Sail" and "Sweetest Wave"), they play with punk's intent and conviction.
When a band unleashes a two-part song as the centerpiece of their album, it's a clear sign that the art fix is in -- and so is the case with Funeral for a Friend, whose third album, Tales Don't Tell Themselves, is some kind of nautical concept album (just like Modest Mouse's We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, but not really!). Producer Gil Norton certainly provides crucial assistance in giving Funeral's music a cinematic splendor and a glossy pop sheen, turning Tales Don't Tell Themselves into an unapologetic big rock record -- big in its sound, big in its hooks, big in its ambitions, big in every way ...
| | Josaphine Bertrand Wataka Matata (Album) CD (2007) (Import)
Usher
$12.99
After some turbulence Josephine's album "Wataka Matata" finally lands on the turntables !Wataka Matata, strange title which evokes the jungle ; but don't let it mislead you, this album was entirely made in Paris. But, after all … isn't Paris a jungle !?Official release: October 15.You already can buy the album on CD Baby and soon download it on Apple iTunes Music Store and many other legal sites.- Wataka Matata, the second title, gave its name to the album. This album, filled with diversity, mix together various genres such as pure techno or techno mixed with salsa and zouk, that you can find in the first 4 titles "Nouveau Riche", "Wataka Matata", "Super Mamie", and "Africa".- "Pourquoi" is a mixture of reggae and ragga, and "Big Big Bobi" is a song hummed by all them cameroonian children, from Douala as well as in Mungo.- "Soleil" is a languorous slow fox-trot which cultivates ambiguity with tact and subtlety.- "A ma Mère" and "Fête des Mères" are rumbas, and chachachas, sung in Central African idioms, a wink of the artist at her mother, a native of Central Africa.- "Musiquinine", fantastic "Musiquinine", released in 1994 ! This song made Josephine famous in Cameroon, her country of origin. This title was a true success and 13 years later this song is still present. All social classes have danced or made sport on this song : v.i.p.s as well as children. Nostalgic ones of this title will surely be ...
