Purchase Glamorest Life CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Melanie Fiona Bridge CD (2009)
Glamorest Life album
 $8.79    
Melanie Fiona's debut single, "Give It to Me Right," was a perfect 2009 pop-R&B recording. The single coupled a timeless classic (the Zombies' "Time of the Season") with roof-raising vocals and infectious pop hooks that stuck like peanut butter. Fiona's single was perfect, albeit a touch formulaic. Because of this, it's no surprise that a large chunk of her debut album, THE BRIDGE, is much of the same. Like any good 2009 pop-soul recording, the album offers influences from decades of soul music. Fiona, a Kanye West protégé, collaborates with about as many styles of music as she has producers and writers, who include most prominently Canadian R&B singer-songwriter Andrea Martin, Rob Fusari, Peter Wade Keusch, Sidh Solanki, Vada Nobles, Bill Blast, Future Cut, Stereotypes, ...
| | 50 Cent Before I Self-Destruct CDs (2007) With DVD
Glamorest Life CD music
$11.19 
Released without the usual flurry of hype, Before I Self Destruct fulfills 50 Cent's contractual obligation to the Interscope label. It also doubles as a throwback album, returning the rapper to the hunger and hatred of his early mixtapes while skillfully recasting him as a wannabe upstart. That is, for the most part. The four radio-friendly bedroom numbers that conclude the album are out of place but fairly good to dime-piece beautiful, with the best being the Ne-Yo showcase "Baby by Me" ("Have a baby by me, baby/Be a millionaire"). As pleasing as these final numbers are, if you leave the room after the macho bruiser "I Got Swag" ("I'm infinitely special/Girl the Lord is gonna bless you/If you do what I tell you to do"), you'll return to a confusingly different album, one that's as glamorous but less vital. The monstrous run of tracks that leads up to this flash and polish can be summed up by 50's "This ain't Tha Carter/It's Sparta!," a witty, deceptive, and brutish line barked over a prime Dr. Dre beat during the great "Death to My Enemies." On the cut, the producer sounds like he's been digging on RZA, but the tension and dark-night feel he has created for "Psycho" ...

Glamorest Life songs
$13.79
There's a lot to like about this session led by Jim Rotondi. This superb trumpeter, flügelhornist, and arranger is joined by a first-rate rhythm section (pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Joe Farnsworth), as well as the talented yet under-appreciated alto saxophonist Jesse Davis on five of the eight tracks.
The program itself is well balanced, with great blowing, imaginative charts
and a pair of strong originals. Rotondi's cooking "On Y Va (Let's Go)" is a brilliant opener, setting up a solid groove. "The Pleasure Dome" is his salute to the tiny but popular New York nightclub Smoke; it captures the excitement of a typical evening in this uptown venue.
"The Breeze and I" first turned up on a 1940 big band date led by Jimmy Dorsey and was later adapted by a few bop and hard bop small groups; but Hazeltine's updated treatment swings like mad in a post-bop setting while retaining its Latin undercurrent. The leader switches to flügelhorn for a lush rendition of the standard "My Ideal" accompanied solely by the pianist, with Drummond and Farnsworth making a late entrance. Rotondi is heard on muted trumpet for a lightly swinging "Yours Is My Heart Alone," accented by Farnsworth's brushes.
Dr. Billy Taylor's "A Bientot" is cast as a bossa nova with terrific interplay between the flügelhorn and alto sax. Joe Henderson's "Mamacita" is tense blues with the rhythm section fueling Rotondi's solo with some especially tight playing. Dr. Donald Byrd's sassy "Hush" will get any audience swaying back and forth, also showcasing a tasty solo by Drummond. It is a rare recording session that consistently reaches the heights of this outstanding CD. ~ Ken Dryden

| | Girls Gone Wild Music Volume 1 CD (2004) Bonus DVD
Glamorest Life album
$7.69
Well, you know what you're gonna get if you buy the first soundtrack to Girls Gone Wild, the enduring video series that showcases a never-ending series of college girls and unknown strippers exposing their breasts and butts. You're gonna get songs that are strip-club anthems and frat-party favorites in the first half of the 2000s -- songs like Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard," J-Kwon's "Tipsy," Petey Pablo's "Freek-A-Leek," Eamon's "F*** It (I Don't Want You Back)," and Kelis' "Milkshake." Since it's released on BMG's Jive/Zomba label, it shouldn't come as a surprise that over half of the 17 songs here are from Jive recording artists, either. It also shouldn't be a surprise that this collection of party-hearty rap and rock keeps the party going, even through songs that have nothing to recommend them outside of the groove. What does come as a surprise is that right in the middle of all these contemporary hits is Ini Kamoze's early-'90s flash-in-the-pan "Here Comes the Hotstepper" (albeit in a different mix). Seems a little strange, but that's the only strange thing about this party-ready album. Oh, almost forgot -- the CD comes with a bonus DVD. It runs 20 minutes and comes with a music video for ...
| | Ultimate 30'S And 40'S Reefer Songs CD (2004)
Glamorest Life CD music
$19.79
It's long been known, even by many who aren't connoisseurs of either jazz or marijuana, that the wacky weed was referred to on numerous occasions in jazz and blues music in the 1930s and 1940s. This compilation brings together 20 such vocal jazz cuts from 1932-1945. Two things might immediately surprise those who chance upon this CD. First, the references to "reefer," the slang word for pot, are often not mere allusions but quite direct, what with titles like "The Reefer Song," "Reefer Man," "Sweet Marihuana Brown," "Save the Roach for Me," "Weed Smokers' Dream," "Reefer Head Woman," and "Smoking Reefers." Also, these aren't all artists working at the commercial margins by any means, the disc including contributions by Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Sidney Bechet, Chick Webb, Jazz Gillum, and Tampa Red. However you feel about reefer, the music is a good helping of exuberant early vocal jazz with a comic edge, and not just enjoyable for its novelty value. Which isn't to say there isn't much in the way of high-spirited frivolity here, ...

This disc collects the vocal versions of these sessions. See Mi Yah is essentially one long 46-minute song composition, with each MC taking a turn on the microphone for ...
