JLS - JLS (2009) Dont you hate the album cover? An all black english boyband. X Factor Talent show contestants. I dont know why is this album here. The vocals are pretty mediocre and the music is too bubblegum shaded with the modern clubby music arrangement. Mediocre. Im putting it in here for the curious cats, just in case. DOWNLOAD

ALL 4 ONE - No Regrets (2009) They are still together and this is their latest album kicking off 2010. Apart from BoyzIIMen, this is THE group. I got all their albums damn it. No Regret is their 7th studio album. There is nothing new on this album except the widely used modern music arrangement. Expect the typical All-4-One pop tunes in the likes of their previous albums and like all their previous albums, one acappella track is a must and in this album its in the form of the funky cover of "You Dont Know Nothin" a song by another vocal group called For Real which they toured with back in the 90s. My favorite track, "If Sorry Never Comes" is nothing but an intoxicating track, can not stop from spinning that one. "If Your Heart Nots In" is a better cover. Way better than the original Westlife's version. Recommended because it is THE group. DOWNLOAD

RYAN LESLIE - Transition (2009) What can I say? Hot and dope beats with his soulful vocals layered perfectly on top with the hummable and memorable melodies. Transition is his second album. "To The Top" is a very bumpy track that will probably stay in my play list for quite a few days. "Is It Real Love" is nothing but pure genius. "Guardian Angel" is just terrific and sweet. The first single "You're Not My Girl" is just a sexy track. What I like about Leslie's album is the memorable and relaxing melodies with out relying too much on the wild ad-libs. My cup of tea.

BRIAN MC KNIGHT - Evolution of a Man (2009) Is this not the epitome of all things RnB? I am not really a big fan though. But I like this album. There are a mish mash of everything which reminded me of Stevie Wonder. A comeback album after snapping out of his divorce. That should explain why most of the songs were quite, how should i say it... spiritual and comforting? "Baby Its You" have that classic piano led ballad signature while "Always Be My Baby" is an acoustic guitar led track showcasing Mr.Knight in his comfort towering zone. "Never Say Goodbye" reminds me of Peter Cetera."I Miss You" is an awkward party track but lovable and "While" is a reggea jam like the one Stevie Wonder used to have back in 93 and "When Ur Lovin me"is just sexy. I like this album a lot. My cup of tea indeed. DOWNLOAD

RAPHAEL SAADIQ - The Way I See It (2009) When was this album released? 2009? You got to be kidding me? This must be at least a record from the 50's or the 60's. Seriously, if you want to feel some old school instrumental jives with a real old school top notch Motown era RnB & Jazz flava, with a soulful Little Richard of the millennium singin songs on top of it, then you got to try this unbelievable album. Raphael Saadiq, the only who got himself venturing into the RnB of 50's and got back with a handful of songs fit for an album that was supposed to be released in 1954. I was awestruck and was a bit freaked out at first. Try and preview this album. You wont regret it. Long live motown. Long live the old school. DOWNLOAD

EMINEM - Relapse (2009) This album was a very very hard album to find online. So if you want to download and preview this album before actually going out and buying the physical CD, which you will mostly do since the power of the brand itself was a hypnotizing cast of spell, from your favorite record store, I suggest you download this one quick before it became unavailable. This is Eminem's latest album, Relapse. I got to know there was another 2009 release called "After the Relapse". I did not have the time to find out whether it was an unreleased, b-sides or a mixtape release. The fight Eminem got in with Mariah Carey was a good move to promote the album. Both of them got "diss" songs on each others album prompting the fans to buy both of them to hear what they were actually saying about each other. The oldest trick in the book. DOWNLOAD
