Overdose of New Music

Over the past week, I picked up quite a lot of music. Here’s a glimpse.

Norah Jones • Not Too Late
That voice. Just listen to the ease and calm of that voice of Norah Jones. For Hawaii residents, look out at that dismal, blustery weather, brew up the good stuff, play the tracks from Not Too Late, and be glad you’re indoors.

No wonder this CD is the best seller for on-line retailers like Amazon and the iTunes Store. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

2007 Grammy Nominees
A compliation of solid picks. Not necessarily the popular mainstream stuff you hear on the radio, but a good mix of music. And you can’t beat the $9.99 price tag for 23 tracks.

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Sarah Brightman • Diva: The Singles Collection
A collection of her popular hits. Not quite what I was looking for though. I prefer her upbeat and techno style like with Harem or Free.

Give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Ultra Dance, Vol. 8
Disappointing. I didn’t like this collection. The Ultra series has been good to me before so I figured this one would be good too. Some gems in the 2 CD set but overall, I didn’t like the syncopating style of the music.

I’d recommend Thrivemix, Vol. 1: Mixed by Mike Rizzo and St. John or Out Anthems instead. Give it 2 out of 5 stars.
