Initially I thought this would be a standard Jazz album, but not the case! Gabby has a very high pitched voice and her influences are far wider.

Part country and a little poppy this singer songwriter hits lots of right notes.  Reminds me of Josh Rouse.  Recommend: Caroline

Pioneer of German Hip Hop appeals with a real 70s jazz/funk edge to this album. Recommend: Point Black

Only visit if you like this styleof music. Recommend: How’s About You

Bunch of top producers re-make classic Bee Gees tracks.  It’s ok, really, but I can’t understand why you wouldn’t rather listen to the Bee Gees originals.

Intelligent, largely instrumental, electonic LP with thumping beats, slight dnb and good atmospherics. Recommend:  Track 7

Doesn’t quite have the ferocity of ‘Fire Burning’, but still a solid dancehall tune.

Typical US mainstream rock album.  Not particularly impressive and quite pedestrian in the main.  Could be popular with some radio play. Recommend: Built For Sin

This track shows a band starting to live up to their rock hype and this will be able to walk onto the radio.  They’ll need to follow it up, but can’t wait for album next March!
