| | Kimberley Locke Based On A True Story CD Kimberley Locke Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
Three years after her 2004 recording debut, ONE LOVE, AMERICAN IDOL finalist Kimberley Locke returned with another confident collection of R&B-tinged pop tunes. Standouts of BASED ON A TRUE STORY include the emotive piano ballad "Change" and the beat-driven "Supawoman," but the album's true highlight is Locke's gutsy cover of the R&B classic "Band of Gold," which successfully conjures up a vintage Motown vibe.

Based On A True Story Music Based On A True Story Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Great second album I am so glad that Kimberly finally has her second album out !! And all songs (but Fall) are hers, written in collabration with others, to give us honest and beautiful songs that represent aspects of her life. I happen to think Kimberly is one of the most talented American Idol graduates, even though she didn't win. She has so much to offer and this album proves it. Thanks, Kimberly !! Keep up the great work. Submitted by a.owens (St Louis, MO.)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Worth every penny!!!!! First of all, I don't typically write reviews for albums, nor am I the typical AMerican Idol album buyer. However, if you are looking for a great album, with a great voice, great songs, and something to listen THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH, then buy this album.
If you like "8th world Wonder," you will love this album. Most songs are similar in sound as "8th," what I would call Adult Rock. Kimberly not only has a great voice, that is very powerful, she co-wrote most of the songs.
I can't pick a favorite, but I will give you a rundown of the tracks on this album:
1. Change - This is an amazing song, amazing voice. Most artists now when you listen to their vocals, there are several layers of their voice to make it stronger. She does not have that....her voice is that powerful.
2. Any Which way - Rock song with a great chorus and a soaring bridge at the end! It will get you going.
3. Trust Myself - again, another rock song. This one will have you believing in yourself. Again, awesome bridge at the end!
4. Supawoman - to be honest, when this song was released last year as a fast song, I didn't like it. However, this is a slowed down version and I have found myself addicted to it. Listen to the lyrics.
5. Doin' It tonight - a simple dance song. At first is seemed too simple, but I love her lower range in this song. You will start dancing when you hear it.
6. Friend Like You - DOn't be fooled by the title....this is not a happy song, however, she uses the Rock sound perfectly here. A great song.
7. Fall - This will bring tears to your eyes. Beautiful slow song with amazing, powerful vocals.
8. I don't wanna know - Again, the rock sound works so well for her. Good song.
9. Talk about us - this is more R&B than the rest of the album, but it is a nice change up.
10. You don't have to be strong - Blues song, very nicely done.
11. Everyday Angels - A feel good anthem! Nicely done
12. Band of Gold - WOW! She truly has a gift to make any song great!
This album is worth it. It's not like any other AI album. You will be listening to this album over and over. Let me know if you can pick just one favorite!

| | Scarface Emeritus CD (2008) Edited
Based On A True Story CD music
$14.79 A year after his stellar eighth LP, M.A.D.E., the Houston O.G. is back for his purported swan song, appropriately titled EMERITUS. Controversy often makes for compelling hip-hop so Scarface does well to let Rap-A-Lot chief J Prince set things off by detailing his legal troubles, the snitches involved, and an alleged conspiracy against the H-Town businessman on the album's intro. From there, `Face sends sniper shots at rival Lil Troy ("High Powered"), examines the Iraq War and recession from a ghetto point of view ("Can't Get Right"), and recounts wrong-road-taken ghetto tales ("Still Here"). Production from Nottz, Illmind, N.O. Joe, Jake One, and Scram Jones mixes soul and blues samples with frenzied key arrangements to a menacing effect. If there are any doubts left as to Scarface's lyrical prowess, the closing title track should put them to rest. Let's hope that `Face's idea of retirement is something like Jigga's.
With Emeritus, the legendary Scarface brings his solo career to close, a declaration he made six ...
