Speakerboxx / The Love Below [Explicit Version]

At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that's all Outkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, the double CD Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demonstrate exactly how Andre's yin works to augment Big Boi's yang.

Call Off the Search

No doubt 18-year-old Katie Melua has got used to being tagged "the next Norah Jones".

However, a closer examination of the lyrics shows that the sweet happy English Rose has ... [More]

	[24/01/2004] Trading Snakeoil For Wolftickets San Diego based singer-songwriter Gary Jules was brought to the world's attention with his haunting cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World", but Trading Snakeoil for Wolf Tickets may surprise fans expecting more of the same. There is a strong sense of West Coast country-tinged folk, with pop influences drawn from the... [More]
