Hailing out of South Africa, SoulStone delivers a high-energy, upbeat R&B album with "MusicLoveTruth." This trio compliments each other with varying yet equally compelling vocal tones and tight harmonies. "Smoove" flaunts a hypnotic groove and is the type of song that easily gets stuck in your head. Heavy on production and electronic elements, these songs are highly polished to perfection. Other stand-out tracks are "Give it 2 U Right" and the emotional ballad "Deserve Me." Lyrically, SoulStone delivers chest-swelling poems of love and making up. This is truly an all-around album that delivers great music fit for mass consumption.

"Blackout" by Britney Spears (Pop/R&B artist from Louisiana (LA))

The heavily-anticipated comeback from Spears entitled "Blackout" follows the same beat-driven sound as the hit-single "Gimme More." Built around electronic hooks and heavily auto-tuned, robotic vocals, these songs are very similar in song structure yet are consistently catchy. "Piece of Me" stands out because of its very honest and personal lyrics, making mention of Brit's thoughts on motherhood and being the center of tabloid attention. "Break the Ice" takes on a more melodic sound while maintaining a club-friendly sound. Moreover, "Toy Sound" escalates to a more fast-paced, lively sound. Overall, the tunes on "Blackout" are sexy, danceable, and seemingly constructed for those who love to get up and groove.

"Sky's The Limit" by Fathers Children (R&B artist from Washington DC)

"Sky's The Limit" by Fathers Children is a smooth and refreshing collection of R&B tunes. Reminiscent of what many would call 'good old' R&B, this CD exudes lyrical honesty and simplicity, exploring themes of passion and love. Furthermore, the use of beautiful pianos and guitars, mixed with a deficiency of electronic elements brings listeners back to the pure sounds of classic, soulful R&B. Perhaps the most appealing aspect of "Sky's The Limit," Fathers Children's vocals are delivered with great mastery. His smooth and tranquil timbre radiates a heavy sense of passion and is accentuated by tight harmonies. The stand-out, especially groovy tracks include "We Got Love", "Move On", and "This is What We Do To Have Fun."
