New Release Report 4/10/12: Monica’s “New Life”, Bonnie’s Back, And More…

The Viewfinder: “It All Belongs To Me” by Brandy & Monica
It’s been nearly a decade and a half since Brandy Norwood and Monica Arnold squared off on the #1 smash “The Boy Is Mine.” Back then, the two were teen idols. The fact that they’re able to reunite at this point in the game and still create something newsworthy, speaks to the talent of both women. However, while I can’t deny that Brandy and Monica are both gifted, I can also say that this reunion could have resulted in something […]
Chart Stalker 8/26/10: There’s Life!!!
Eminem #1, yada yada yada blah blah blah. However, the remainder of the Top 10 on this week’s Billboard album chart gets an almost complete makeover, by virtue of six debuts and a reentry. The only albums in this week’s Top 10 that were also in last week’s Top 10 besides Eminem are Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” (#7) and Justin Bieber’s “My World 2.0” (#8). This week’s Top 10 debuts come from R&B singer Kem (#2), singer-songwriters Ray LaMontagne (#3) […]
"Still Standing": Monica Might Wobble But She Won't Fall Down
Hard to believe it’s been a decade and a half since Monica Arnold stepped onto the music scene. Her first hit single, “Don’t Take it Personal (Just One of Dem Days)”, topped charts when she was all of 14 years old-a pretty amazing feat. Over the years since, she’s recorded albums of varying quality while maintaining a presence on the charts. She’s also undergone quite a bit of personal drama, mostly on the boyfriend side (one committed suicide in her […]
Chartstalker 3/31/10: Bieber Fever
Hey, that almost rhymes, right? As expected, teen idol Justin Bieber opens up at the top of the Billboard album charts with “My World 2.0”. The 16 year old Canuck starts with 283,000 copies. He is the youngest male artist to top the Billboard album charts since Stevie Wonder back in 1963. Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me. The top 3 albums this week are all debuts. Former teen idol Monica takes the runner up spot with her fifth […]
The Bird & the Bee's Tribute to the Masters of Blue-Eyed Soul
I generally turn my nose at covers albums. I can’t even remember the last one that I actually liked. The new project from the Bird & the Bee, though, is interesting enough that I’m willing to temporarily lift my ban on entire albums of remakes. The dream-pop duo from Los Angeles is releasing “Interpreting the Masters; A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates” today. Yes, you read that correctly. Not too many years after H2O’s own somewhat ill-advised covers […]
