(2 Customer Reviews)
For her 2007 debut, TRUE BEAUTY, fifth-season AMERICAN IDOL finalist Mandisa presents an engaging album that mixes gospel, R&B, and pop. On this confident set, the emotive singer (whose last name is Hundley) proudly reveals her ties to Christian music--the lightly funky "Shackles (Praise You)" is a Mary Mary cover, and the lively "Love Somebody" was written by CCM hero TobyMac, who also appears on the track. Another highlight of TRUE BEAUTY is the bright, catchy "Only the World," which serves as the record's first single, and typifies Mandisa's exuberant vocal style.

True Beauty music CDs
$7.69 LaShell Griffin had been singing in church choirs for two decades before she heard about "Pop Star Challenge." The brainchild of Oprah Winfrey, this feature of her TV program was created in answer to the youth-obsessed aspect of the phenomenon of AMERICAN IDOL. While the songs Griffin performed on Winfrey's show were generally secular (though inspirational) pop, her debut album, a result of her winning the contest, reveals deep roots ...

True Beauty songs
$25.55 This self-titled album by the New Zealand rock ensemble Pacifier includes "Comfort Me," "Everything," and "Just a Shadow."
The special-edition release features an additional disc of acoustic performances.
After years of reigning the rock scene in their homeland, New Zealand's Shihad were ready to try their hand in America. In the studio on September 11, 2001, the band nearly called it quits and headed for home. With a name slightly similar to "jihad," the Arab word of "holy war," the quartet figured the deck was stacked against them. Instead, re-christened Pacifier, the group poured itself into the sessions with renewed commitment. The resulting self-titled album is not so much a good band reinventing itself (being that their sound didn't alter that much), ...
| | Major Accident Clockwork Legion CD (1984) (Import) Canada
True Beauty album
$19.69 Released in 1982 as the band's second album, A Clockwork Legion continues its makers' obsession with Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange (both the novel and the movie), not through overt reference, but in spirit and via a world view that both shares and amplifies that personified by Alex de Large and his Droog gang. It's a difficult stance to maintain across one song, let alone a series of LPs, but Major Accident pulled it off, both lyrically and via their absorption of the clockwork society's own musical influences. True, Beethoven and co. are not fed through squawking synths and electronics -- that would be too obvious. But the band's grasp of simple melodies that in turn translate into deathless pop is in effortless keeping with the sounds of the Korova Milk Bar, and if the themes to the songs are contrarily distant from anything one would normally associate with pop, then that only amplifies the societal dislocation that's at work here. Never truly lauded in their heyday; always operating just beneath the critical radar that dominated the early-'80s British music scene, Major Accident have, for the most part, been forgotten by modern punk -- assuming it remembered them in ...
