Better Days Music Review  Amust have album
I first came upon James and his works some 18 months back when I recieved a promo 7" of " dont waste the pretty " featuring Jeff Ramsey, First thing that struck me was that this artist took time to consider the dj's that would be playing this track by putting it on vinyl.I played the track and I was instantly taken back by the quality of this modern soul track with a taste of 80's nostalgia about it! These excellent lyrics complemented by the silky voice of jeff Ramsey certainly made me sit up and listen!
Since I heard Dont waste the pretty and was fortunate hear other classy tracks like " Brick by Brick " featuring the vocals of Audrey Wheeler and "Remeber When" Featuring Mikelyn Rodderick the latter live in Londons Leicester Square I have followed the progress of James and his works!
Some weeks after the live event the name James Day was buzzing
everywhere on the UK soul scene and were waiting for the full release of Better Days!
It's arrived! In my opinion one the best albums to be released in 2006, not only the orignal versions of tracks plus bonus remixes by James and Brad Young!
Take time to listen to the samples on this site and I guarantee you buy this album and many more of Jame's works for years to come!
This is a must have Album!

Glorious return to real soul!
This is the type of real R&B that has been missing from the radio. Rich and personal songwriting, gorgeous arrangments, passionate vocals, and soaring melodies to sing along to. its also refreshing to hear such a diverse mix of favourite voices back in the game, taking everyone else back to school. There are too many highlights to list, as its obvious that Day filled this album with hit singles and no fillers. A must-buy.

Better Days album
 $8.19 
Within a couple years, Canadian teenager Justin Bieber went from covering Usher on YouTube to working with Usher. An internet sensation from his renditions of several pop and pop-oriented R&B hits, he was still only 15 years old when he released this, his first album -- though it's more like an EP since it is contains only seven songs that are 25 minutes in duration. Given the comfort level he showed in the material he covered, My World plays it straight, based on the kind of age-appropriate content that would fill out a release from a younger Chris Brown or a junior version of Ne-Yo. Members of the Clutch, Midi Mafia, "Tricky" Stewart, ...

| | Jay-Z Blueprint 3 CD (2009)
Better Days music CDs
$15.65 
On THE BLUEPRINT 3, still unretired Jay-Z announces "the only rapper to rewrite history without a pen." It's a standard Jigga boast, but the Brooklyn icon has earned the bragging by backing it up, particularly on his gold-label, top-shelf BLUEPRINT series. Ever-ready for battle, Jay-Z takes on autotune, crossover radio, and many other hip-hop concerns with the gloriously jagged rap elan for which he's become known.
When Jay-Z first made a series out of his best album, 2001's The Blueprint, it became a game of high expectations. The first volume saw Jay-Z as vital as he'd ever been, storming back to the hardcore after a few years of commercial success. THE BLUEPRINT 2 took a different tack, with guest shots to compliment his sinuous flows. BLUEPRINT 3 is somewhere between the two, closer to the vitality and energy of the original but not without the crossover bids and guest features of the latter. Kanye West is in the producer's chair for seven tracks, and it's clear he was reaching for the same energy level as the original. "What We Talkin' About" begins the album with a wave of surging, oppressive synth, while Jay-Z enumerates (with an intriguing lack of detail) what he's said and what's been said about him, ending with a nod not to the past but the future (and Barack Obama). There's plenty more lyrical violence to come, but most of the targets are much safer than they were eight years earlier (i.e. opening single and smash hit "D.O.A. [Death of Auto Tune]" (railing against the oft-reviled '00s vocal-tweaking phenomenon is not quite as "politically incorrect" as Jay claims through song). Simply put, the production's ...
| | Toni Braxton Snowflakes CD (2001)
Better Days songs
$5.95 
The sultry-voiced chanteuse's entry in the Yuletide release stakes should prove a winner with her fans. Anachronistically jazzy arrangements of songs such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Christmas Time is Here" (yes, the PEANUTS song) vie with more contemporary titles like "Christmas in Jamaica" and the sexy "Santa Please." The latter should guarantee Braxton pretty much anything she wants in her Christmas stocking. Elsewhere the gentle "Snowflakes of Love" is wispily seasonal, and Braxton's rendition of "The Christmas Song" is simple and unaffected. SNOWFLAKES is both Christmas-y and sexy, and you really can't ask for better than that.
Engineers include: Thom "TK" Kidd, Craig Taylor, Dave Palmer.
Personnel includes: Toni Braxton, Shaggy (vocals); Keri Lewis, Donnie Scantz (various instruments); Sonny Lallerstedt ...
