WILL DOWNING - Classique (2009) I have to admit that I am not really familiar with Will Downing even though he has been releasing albums since 1989. Classique is his latest offering. I do not which one should I recommend, His unique baritone vocals or the music on his songs but if it were up to me, i have to opt for the latter since I am not really a fan of his vocals. The singing was moderately mediocre to me, nothing impressive there thus leading me to believe that it was the music that make this album a big of a deal. Live instruments and percussion, varying from the old school RnB to Jazz to those typical Quiet Storm stuff here and there. Vocal wise? Just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

DAUGHTRY - Leave This Town (2009) Number one in the Billboard's 200 chart. This is the band's second album and yes despite the lead singer is Chris Daughtry of the American Idol fame, this is a five piece rock band with the name Daughtry. When I first started to feast my ears to the album, it was with the song "Ghost Of Me". Catchy and poppish hook, angry but listenable and it showcased Daughtry's powerful vocals touching the high notes with out any problem. Definitely a friend to the radios. "Open Up Your Eyes" and "Traffic Light" started with a clean guitar riffing before bursting into a catchy and strong chorus. All I can say is that if you like good and solid rock album with poppish hooks then this album is for you. All 19 tracks were meant to showcase Daughtry's powerful vocals. If you are looking for a guitar hero type rock like those bands we used to have from the good ol' 80's, this album is not for you. Makes me wonder, is ...

CHICO DEBARGE - Addiction (2009) This is Chico Debarge's sixth album and it's called Addiction. If you like Chico's brand of sexy and silky smooth voice, I am very sure that you will fall in love with this album. All 15 tracks in it too. Always a prolific writer, that husky vocal tone of Debarge as heavily featured in songs like "Oh N0", "She Loves Me" and "I Want You" will surely melt the hearts and souls of every female creature on this good earth. Although it was quite surprising that I have found a few vocal glitches here and there. Like in "She Loves Me", it's quite funny to listen to Debarge missing hitting a high falsetto note in one particular part in that song. It sure ruined my evening. Musically this album is an excellent composition. You will find a few jazz here and there. Over all it is still a good album. Well, at least musically for me. Apart from that, its just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

ANTHONY HAMILTON - The Point Of It All (2009) I got this one from Rapgodfathers. Big up to the nice people there for this album. I bet most of you will love this album. 14 tracks filled with soulful vocalizations. Anthony Hamilton is no rookie with his powerful rough and tough voice with crazy skills on the microphone. You will love the soulful tracks in the likes of "Please Stay" showcasing Hamilton's powerful vocals and the bluesy "Prayin For You/Superman" as a tribute to the old school part dance hall and part swingin blues jam on the keys. "Fine Again" is purely a fine gospel number and "I Did It For Sho" is a nice laid back cute jazz tune. All I can say is that you will find this album heavily influnced with gospel. For those who love a complete evolutionized from roots to the newer than new styles of RnB, than this album is for you. Although I am not a fan of Hamiltons but I still think this album is worth a try. Still not my cup of tea...

PLAIN WHITE T'S - Big Bad World (2008) The only reason i put this album here in the first place was because I am currently hooked up with their 2008 single "1234". The song was one of the sweetest song i have ever heard. Try and sing this song to your girlfriend or your wife if yr married, on a nice valentine evening or on your wedding day, I bet 100 bucks that she will cry her eyes out. I am not really a fan of Plain White T's but "1234" may be a view changing song if not life changing. Their second single "Natural Disaster" was a good rock song too. You will definitely love this one. If you like Dashboard Confessional then this album was definitely made for you. DOWNLOAD

JEREMIH - Jeremih (2009) I got this one from Rapvet. A shout out to them for this album. Filled with club anthems that you may like. There is a little bit of Chris Brown and a bit of a younger version of Michael Jackson here and there for example in "Starting All Over". "Break Up to Make Up"sounds a bit like Sean Kingston singing without the silly patois. If you dont believe me, try and give this one a try. Jeremih's vocal is still far from impressive with a few glitches here and there and not to mention the lack of soul but a few more years of maturity, i bet this young man can provide us with a good vocal performence. It is a decent debut album so to speak. DOWNLOAD

GINUWINE - A Man's Thoughts (2009) This is the latest Ginuwine's album, a Man's Thoughts. Since I am still high on Joe's latest release I have to say that the yardstick for a good smooth neo soul and RnB album would be of his in comparison. So what about this one? This album contains 15 tracks that will and shall make you bounce. Ginuwine's vocals and tone are digestible I guess. Most of the songs are modern and loop oriented which is not my cup of tea. If you like ballads like moi, you will enjoy tracks like "When Im Mad" and the chocolate-esque "Touch Me" and "Orchestra" which is quite a hooker. Meanwhile the party song "Get Involved" featuring Timbaland and Missy Elliot is a hot party track filled with Timbaland's signature beat. All I can say that this album is a good and bouncy album. A good soundtrack for a chill party by the beach. Modern RnB enthusiasts, this one is for you. DOWNLOAD

MAXWELL - Black Summers Night (2009) Here is Maxwell's newest album BLACKSummers Night. I guess we shall groove in some Neo Soul and RnB releases for the next couple of downloads. There are a couple of very good songs in this album. Although I am not really a fan of Maxwell's voice but strong swinging ballad hooks in "Fistfull of Tears" and crunchy falsetto jam song like "Help Somebody" really pushed forward his tone a bit, although I am still far from impressed. Maybe I am still high with Joe's Signature album. But I bet most of you out there will love this album. It didnt jump straight to number one on the Billboard's RnB Hip Hop album chart for nothing. It was just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

JOE - Signature (2009) You gotta love this guy and this is his latest album. What do you expect from Joe? I do not know about you but I am into his crazy ballad numbers and most of the songs in this album are slow numbers. "Worst Case Scenario" is one of the best ballad number, among other incredible numbers, in this album, easy to digest and the melody is just staggeringly relaxing. The same goes to "Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Very Special Friend". Joe's voice never changed, smooth and silky. Silky smooth. This is with out any shadow of a doubt another incredible RnB masterpiece. Recommended. DOWNLOAD

WAYNE BRADY - A Long Time Coming (2008) This is highly recommended if you like traditional RnB. The best album in 2008 if you ask me. Everybody knows Wayne Brady from the infamous Whose Line Is It Anyway improve show and everybody who used to watch that show would know that Brady got a very wonderful voice. This album is a damn must. He was nominated for Grammy for the best traditional vocal RnB performance for his Sam Cooke cover A Change Is Gonna Come. Being a long time fan, I was certainly amazed and to another certain extent stunned by his sometime angelic and sometime sexy voice. The bumpy and sexy, "Back In The Day" (which is my favorite song on the album) would just wanna make you strip and have sex. Try and give this album a proper listen, you wont regret it. DOWNLOAD

BLACK EYED PEAS - The E.N.D (2009) Do you know how hard it is to get this album? Here it is the latest, long awaited and much anticipated new Black Eyed Peas album. The E.N.D stands for The Energy Never Dies. If that was suppose to be a hint for this album to the last album, nobody knows. After a few years on studio album hiatus to provide room for each and everybody's solo albums (each member got one album out with Fergie's being the most successful), they once again re-united for another killer album filled with their signature party tracks thanks to the genius mind of Will.I.Am, although it came out with a very very ugly cover. Give this one a try. DOWNLOAD PART 1 DOWNLOAD PART 2

GREEN DAY - American Idiot (2004) The only reason why am I putting this 2004 album is because it was so hard for me to get this album on the net when I finally decided that it was the time for me to try and give this album a proper listening. Green Day had just released their 2009 album titled 21st Century Breakdown a couple of months ago by the way and I think I shall wait for another couple more years before I give that one a try. After wimping out with a couple of "mature" albums, it was a relief to see this most popular punk rock band on the planet doing the hard political stuff again. Although Wake Me Up When September Ends was the typical ballad following the Good Riddance (time of your life) formula and I have to admit that the song was a very good, radio friendly and listenable song. One thing for sure, without Green Day and Offspring, MTV pop punk bands in the likes of Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and Simple Plan would still be in their respective garages playing to the e...

MADONNA - Superpop (2009) If Wacko Jacko was and to a certain extent, still is the ultimate and penultimate King of Pop, would it be an understatement if I say that Madonna would his rightful queen? I bet the world would mourn as much as they mourned for the late Micheal Jackson if this lady dies. This is her latest album and it is worth a try if you like her previous Hard Candy. I am not really a fan but for an old queen, she still got those chops and a nice ass. DOWNLOAD PART 1 DOWNLOAD PART 2

MICHAEL JACKSON - The Classics : A Tribute To A Legend (2009) What a way start things off with a tribute to Michael Jackson. The world's biggest pop star. It was a shock to learn of his death since a lot of fans were expecting a come back after all those years of tribulation. Rest In Peace Mr. Wacko Jacko. DOWNLOAD

Darn! First and foremost I would like apologize for not updating this blog. The last introductory post was made somewhere in May and that was supposed to be the debut post that would start things off with Kedai Mendownload 2009. The thing is, i am always on constant surveillance of new and better blog templates that I could use for Kedai Mendownload and that would be lamest reason I could come up with for not providing the usual beverages. Forgive me. I never thought that anybody would still remember this blog anyway. Let us start this one more time shall we?
