Velvet Empire Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Popstars Score Big!
This CD is amazingly good....but apparently didn't do that well because the band has since broken up. Justin Humes is now lead singer for a group called THE LIVID which should be releasing THE AMBITION WITHIN in fall of 2004. There isn't a song on this CD that wasn't good so I don't know why it didn't do better. I don't think they were marketed very well.

Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)

Velvet Empire album

$10.09

After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original ...

Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)

Velvet Empire CD music

$11.35

NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version of "Nutrocker" ever cut, doesn't do much to break that spell. But for those already enchanted by the Orchestra, this will continue to enthrall. Night Castle appears just in time for ...

Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)

Velvet Empire songs

$11.18

Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful weirdness and sick beats -- often supplied by the Neptunes, delivering tough, sensual rhythms in a way they haven't in a long time, but also John Hill and Wyclef Jean -- is giddily addicting, a celebration of all the strange sensuality that comes out at night. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained to one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two.

Belin All The Way In CDs (2009) With DVD

Velvet Empire album

$13.75

At times, it was hard to figure out whether Berlin were an average synth pop band trying to carve out their own niche or just a mediocre rock band jumping on the new wave bandwagon. Sure, they had some good singles and radio hits, but as an album band, they left a lot to be desired. Terri Nunn was beautiful and sexy, but it seemed like Berlin wanted to be more than just a commercial band with a hot vocalist: they seemed to be striving for greatness but settled for "that'll do." Unfortunately, they never had a chance to really prove themselves, breaking up after their commercially disappointing Count Three & Pray album, released in 1986. Nunn has kept the Berlin name alive over the years, touring with a different group of musicians and playing all the hits while ...

Albert Nicholas Albert's Back In Town CD (1964)

Velvet Empire songs

$13.29

Over the years, American expatriates ranging from Sidney Bechet to Steve Lacy have made Paris their adopted home. Albert Nicholas moved there permanently in 1956; whenever he set foot in the U.S. after 1956, it was as a visitor and not as a resident. When the clarinetist visited Chicago in 1959, he did some recording for Delmark, including the excellent July 30-31 sessions heard on this CD. In 1959, some of the improvisers who had started recording during jazz's pre-swing years tried to make themselves relevant to bop, but not Nicholas. The New Orleans native continued to excel by sticking with what he did best: pure, unapologetic Dixieland. Nothing groundbreaking occurs; Albert's Back in Town (which boasts five alternative takes) could have been recorded in 1929 instead of 1959. But Nicholas certainly isn't lacking when it comes to enthusiasm. Joined by pianist Art Hodes' band, a 59-year-old Nicholas is inspired and spirited on familiar tunes like "Lulu's Back in Town" and "How Long Blues." The clarinetist's memorable version of Duke ...
