One of Al Green's earlier Gospel efforts, I'LL RISE AGAIN finds the singer in a state of transition. Though there's some synth work, Green hadn't yet adopted the more electronically based production techniques of later '80s efforts like SOUL ... Full DescriptionSURVIVOR, he was still moving away from the organic, Willie Mitchell-produced sound of his '70s Hi recordings. Consequently, much of the production here is by-the-book pop/R&B, with backing vocals, strings and keyboards serving mainly as additional colors, not elements of the groove. While Green's singing is uniformly excellent, there's an odd distance to the mix here, and it often sounds as if Green is singing from far away. Advocates of his spiritual leanings might say it's evocative of the higher plane to which he was constantly aspiring.
Recorded at American Music Studio, Memphis, Tennesee.
Personnel: Al Green (vocals); Michael Baker (guitar, background vocals); Larry Lee, Mabon Hodges (guitar); Gerry Peters (keyboards, synthesizer); Jesse Butler (keyboards); Ray Griffing, Steve Cobb (bass); Steve Potts (drums); Linda Jones, Debra Carter, William Brown (background vocals); Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

I'll Rise Again CD music
 $15.18   
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's an increased sense of confidence and newfound liberation on tracks like the chest-thumping "So What" and the mischievous, bouncing "Bad Influence." In softer moments, like the ballad "I Don't Believe You" and the soulful "One Wrong Foot," Pink channels her personal experience into expressions that carry no less strength or muscle. But FUNHOUSE is a pop album first and foremost, and its catchy choruses, rollicking beats, and memorable vocal performances won't disappoint.
Arrangers: Stevie Blacke; Ulf Janson; Henrik Janson.
Personnel: Pink (vocals, background vocals); Shellback (guitar, acoustic guitar, omnichord, keyboard, bass guitar, drums, percussion); Pete Wallace (guitar, piano, harmonium, bass guitar, programming); Max Martin (guitar, bass guitar); Eg White (guitars, Hammond b-3 organ, drums, percussion); Jimmy Harry (guitars, keyboards); ...
| | Robin Thicke Something Else CD (2008)
I'll Rise Again music CDs
$12.45  
It would almost seem like an insult to call Robin Thicke's SOMETHING ELSE "neo soul." That term is often applied to slavish retro rehashes, and Thicke's fourth album is anything but that. SOMETHING ELSE assimilates the influences of everything from Marvin Gaye to Prince to Philly soul to disco, and puts them in a sonic blender that delivers a distinctive, original-sounding end product. While this album isn't a wild stylistic divergence from what Thicke has done previously, it's a more singular, atmospheric experience, an album of mellow blue-eyed soul that you can really sink your teeth into, from the Jeff Buckley-meets-Otis Redding "Dreamworld" to the romantic, horn-punctuated falsetto-fest "The Sweetest Love." Think of Thicke as something like a hipper, alternate-universe version of Justin ...

God-fearing metalheads Demon Hunter make a racket that would surely be labeled evil by anyone not listening closely; they appear to be influenced by such practitioners of darkness as Slayer and Pantera. Perhaps the only indication of the band's alliance with the powers of good is a marked ear for melody, showing up amidst the otherwise muscular, heavy, metal-core mayhem.
Demon Hunter sparingly employs more traditional vocals and moody textures throughout the roaring, rapid firestorm of the songs. "Lead Us Home" has an anthemic chorus, and "Fading Away" balances poppier sounds with a tight, metallic breakdown. Even if rock is the "devil's music," ...
