Full Descriptiondivas returns to the fore with BELIEVE, a strikingly modern set of compositions. From the electronic vocal manipulation of the opening title track to the traditional inflections of "Dov'e L'Amore" BELIEVE is a highly original, highly personal statement, setting timeless emotions to cutting-edge musical themes. "Takin' Back My Heart" is a headstrong tale of emotional self- empowerment, while Cher shares a little territory with Madonna on the synth-driven throb of "Taxi Taxi." The album's closer, "We All Sleep Alone" steps a little further back, building layers upon a vintage disco beat in an epic that would make Donna Summer proud. BELIEVE finds Cher staying on top of pop music's edge, as effortlessly and as earnestly as ever.

"Baby One More Time" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Britney Spears takes her rightful place among bubble gum pop icons at the turn of the millennium with BABY ONE MORE TIME. Earlier known for her part in Disney's revamped "Mickey Mouse Club," Britney successfully turned singer at a mere 16 years of age. She navigates the choppy waters of young love with style, passion and lots of fun. She's got all the charm of '80s forebears like Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, coupled with a hip '90s edge.
With sweet nylon guitar work reminiscent of Richard Marx productions, "Sometimes" warns a potential love of her need for time and patience, rolling along nicely with a slow groove and a big beat. The Jets' gem "You've Got It All" shines brightly as ever with Britney's girlish allure. Take note, however, that Britney's not all bubbles--with an obvious influence from Mariah Carey, she glides quite ably through the key changes and delivers octave leaps and vibratos that should melt just about any heart, young or old.
Recorded at Cheiron Studios, Stockholm, Sweden; 4MW East and Battery Studios, New York, New York.

| | Backstreet Boys Millennium CD (1999)
Believe CD music
$12.15 MILLENNIUM was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and for Best Pop Vocal Album. "I Want It That Way" was nominated for Record Of The Year and for Song Of The Year.
"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
The Backstreet Boys self-titled 1997 debut album endeared the group to millions of teens and pre-teens with its radio-friendly blend of pop harmonies and danceable beats. MILLENNIUM finds the Boys in the unenviable position of following up the mind-blowing success of the first album. Less ambitious artists might wither under such pressure, but the Backstreet Boys beat the dreaded sophomore slump in style. In the tradition of the debut, the album is a combination of romantic ballads guaranteed to make your little sister sob, and syncopated, eminently danceable, upbeat tunes. Throughout, it's the rich combination of the members' voices that creates the distinctive sound the group's legion of fans has grown to love. Most notably though, there is an added maturity in both the songs and the performances. It seems, regardless of their fans' fervent wishes, that even Backstreet Boys can't help but grow up.
Additional personnel includes: Chieli Minucci (acoustic & electric guitars); Dennis Gallo (acoustic guitar, keyboards); Dominic Miller, Esbjorn Ohrwall, Jojje Wadenius, Billy Chapin (guitar); Paul Howards (saxophone, keyboards, percussion); Andrew Fromm (piano); Edwin "Tony" Nicholas ...
| | Madonna Ray Of Light CD (1998)
Believe music CDs
$9.55 RAY OF LIGHT won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Album and for Best Recording Package, and was nominated for Album Of The Year. "Ray Of Light" won the 1999 Grammy for Best Dance Recording and Best Short Form Music Video, and was nominated for Record Of The Year.
Relentlessly contemporary, RAY OF LIGHT pairs Madonna with producer William Orbit, an electronics wizard who has worked with major R&B acts and even such modern rockers as Blur and Depeche Mode. Reportedly, Madonna tried to snare Liam Howlett of high-strung techno-rockers the Prodigy into the project--Howlett claims to have turned her down. But the more dextrous, less in-your-face Orbit was probably a better choice anyway. He provides a dizzying array of soundscapes, incorporating everything from psychedelic-rock guitar to dub-reggae echo and cold, cutting techno beats for what critics are calling Madonna's most committed performance in years.
From the slow chill of the album's first single, "Frozen," to the disco-like title track, RAY OF LIGHT finds Madonna embracing the club beats that are her roots while still teetering on the edge of dance-club vogue. It also finds the singer, who has become a mother since her last studio album, in a long-untapped spiritual mode. When the inevitable comparisons are made to Madonna's previous standard-bearer, 1989's LIKE A PRAYER, that may well be the reason.
Recorded at Larrabee ...
| | Man On The Moon CD (1999) Original Soundtrack
Believe songs
$29.09 "The Great Beyond" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
As 1999 closed out, the genius of anarchist comedian Andy Kaufman came to light in a Milos Forman film named for an early '90s R.E.M. SONG that was a tribute to the late entertainer. Fittingly, the Athens, GA group was brought in to compose the score. Like the quirky comic, the soundtrack to his life story is an unconventional collection of songs. Aural landmarks include the previously released title track, the Sandpipers' "Mighty Mouse Theme (Here I Come to Save the Day)" (which Kaufman used as a lip-synch prop during his now infamous debut on Saturday Night Live), Bob James' "Angela (Theme From Taxi)," and chunks of film dialogue.
Much like his heralded performance in the film, Jim Carrey reprises both Kaufman and his obnoxious alter ego Tony Clifton on the soundtrack. Although a boorish take on "I Will Survive" by Clifton is best skipped over, more appealing is Kaufman/Carrey and R.E.M. teaming up on the catchy sweetness of "This Friendly World," which is minimally affected ...

Fans old and new have much to celebrate about SUPERNATURAL, Carlos Santana's Arista Records debut. After several years of quiet in the studio, Santana is joined by his seasoned contemporary Eric Clapton and by such young luminaries as Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, and Fher (of famed Mexi-rockers Mana). As an album that caps a rock career spanning more than three decades, SUPERNATURAL is a testament to the stylistic breadth of Carlos' musical world, to his dynamic communicative abilities, and to the fact that rolling stones truly gather no moss. The man continues to make a guitar wail like no other.
To the sound of punchy horns, Rodney Holmes' double-bass drum kick, and of course, Santana's searing string-bending, "Yaleo" tears it up with abandon. ...
| | Shania Twain Come On Over CD (1997)
Believe CD music
$11.89 "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. "Come On Over" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Song. "You've Got A Way" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Song Of The Year.
"You're Still The One" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Performance and Best Country Song, and was nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. COME ON OVER was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Album Of The Year and Best Country Album.
Following her smash hit THE WOMAN IN ME was no easy task for Shania Twain and husband/producer Mutt Lange. With COME ON OVER the sexy vixen of modern country has carved out a bigger niche for herself that is sure to please her growing throng of fans. With a huge helping of rock and roll added to her country trimmings, Twain proves her success has been no fluke. As a rule, she goes out of her way to break the traditional Nashville mold. Even her songwriting skills are at the forefront; Shania and Mutt co-wrote all the songs on this collection.
Sounding like a disciple of Linda Ronstadt and Tina Turner with a dash of Tanya Tucker, Twain launches into country-club rockers like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!," "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)," and "Rock This Country!" with a fervor. A guest shot by singer Bryan White adds a touch of drama to the powerful "From This Moment On." Top-40 flavored tunes abound on the rest of the disc including "Love Gets Me Every Time," "If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!," and even the country-fied hip-hop of "Honey, I'm Home." Finally, the acoustic ballad "You've Got A Way" adds a soft touch to round out the set.
