Lillix: Tigerlily (Japan Version) Album Review

 Today's will be of "Lillix's" third, and most recent album, "Tigerlily".  After "Louise" and "Alicia" left the band the Evin sisters, "Lacey-Lee" and "Tasha-Ray" would start recording a third album in 2008.  They would later get new members "Brit Black" (who would leave after releasing one new song with the group), "Eric Hoodicoff", "Cameron Brass", "Scott Thompson" (who would also quit the band but co-wrote one of the songs on the album), and "Alex Varon".  In 2010 they finally released their third album, "Tigerlily" which was the band's original name.  Here's my track by track review:

 1) Dreamland: The third and final single from the album.  The video showed "Tasha-Ray" and "Lacey-Lee" sent to a computerized world in search of a tigerlily as well as performing the song.  They later find one on an amp and one on top of a keyboard.  The video is great, but the song is boring.  6/10

 2) Believer: This song seems to start off being afraid of being alone and wondering where someone you were hoping to see isn't around until the third verse where but it seems by the third verse the person has gotten over that fear.  I'm likely wrong but that's what I get from the lyrics.  Great song though.  10/10

 3) Nowhere to Run: The first single from the album.  A demo of the song had leaked onto youtube a year before it was released.  The video showed "Tasha-Ray" and "Lacey-Lee" being chased by the cops and they manage to avoid them each time until the end of the video where the girls are performing the song and they arrested after the song is finished.  The song is my favorite song on the album and I was thrilled when the video was released because I had been listening to the demo on youtube for a year waiting for it to be released.  It was worth the wait!  10/10

 4) Say No More: This song is a beautiful ballad about a friend who to be going through a rough time and while you don't know what's going through their mind and they don't want to tell the the specifics, you still have their back.  I love the song and wish it was a single.  10/10

 5) Through the Night: I love the intro and the music in the chorus on this song.  It reminds me of "Castle of Illusion Staring Mickey Mouse", the 1990 version the Sega-Genesis.  The song seems to be about standing your ground and not listening to what people are telling you what to do.  It was going to have a video but it was scrapped in favor of a video for another song.  10/10

 6) Dance Alone: This song was released as a promo single in 2009.  It's also the only song on the album that was recorded with "Brit Black".  The song seems to be about wanting a guy to come over to the girl who getting tired of waiting.  It's rumored that the song was supposed to be on "Inside the Hollow".  Not sure if that's true or not but it does have seem like it would fit on that album.  Either way it's a good song.  9/10

 7) 7 Days: The song seems to be not wanting to return home because your boyfriend cheated on you with a girl that he told you he hated.  Well, he lied but the narrator sings "no choice to move on, at least I got a new song."  Love that it ends on a positive note, but it's not one of my favorites.  7/10

 8) Back Up Girl: The second single from the album.  The song talks about how a guy that you liked didn't want to be with you because he liked someone else.  We've all been there.  IT SUCKS!  The video shows "Lacey-Lee" and "Tasha-Ray" driving around and singing at a party.  It has nothing to do with the song at all but at least it had a video.  A remixed version of the song appears as a bonus track on the U.S. version of the album.  It's a great song.  10/10

 9) This Is Goodbye: This is probably the angriest song.  The song is about a guy who you considered a friend, but overtime you realized he was playing you for a fool the whole time.  It would probably be a great song if the music wasn't so distracting.  7/10

 The next three songs are only available on the Japanese Version of the album.

10) It's About Time (Remix): Yes, they re-recorded and remixed their very first single.  The original version is pop/rock while the remixed version on this album is pop/trance.  Also "Lacey-Lee" sings the first verse that "Louise" originally sang.  The song is good but the not as good as the original version.  8/10

11) The Outlaw (Introduction): It's an intro into the next song.  It's a great instrumental but it's too short so I can't give it a score.

12) The Outlaw: I don't listen to this song that much, not because I hate it but because it is difficult to find online.  It's a pretty good song and it should've been included on the standard version of the album.  The guitar solos remind me a little of the music in "Sonic Adventure 2".  9/10

 Sadly the album was as successful as it should've been.  While the singles were played on radio and the videos were in heavy rotation, none of them charted.  It makes no sense since "Nowhere to Run" and "Back Up Girl" were great, "Dreamland" had a great video bu the song isn't that good compared to all the other songs on the album.  Even though they haven't released an album in 7 years, the band is still together and will hopefully release another album in the future.  My favorite songs are: "Nowhere to Run", "Through the Night", "Say No More", "Believer", and "Back Up Girl".  Out of 110 points (because "The Outlaw (Introduction) doesn't get a score) I give the album 96 points which is 87%, a B+.

 Thank you for reading this review and if you haven't check out "Lillix's" music because they're an amazing band.

Lillix: Inside the Hollow Album Review

 Continuing with "Lillix's" music (and my waiting until the last minute to to find an album to review) today's review will be of their second album, "Inside the Hollow".  The album was released in 2006 but didn't receive a worldwide release due to their label dissolving.  The album was also the first and only album to feature new drummer "Alicia Warrington".  Here's my track by track review:

 1) Blackout: The verses start slow but it becomes upbeat when the chorus comes in.  The song is about being rejected by a guy and feeling like an outcast.  Sad but sometimes it happens.  8/10

 2) Little Things: This song talks about a relationship that started off good but later got boring for the guy and he break ups with the narrator.  The music almost stays exactly the same throughout the whole song.  7/10

 3) Every Girl: The first 8 seconds make it sound like it's an acoustic song but then the chorus kicks in and it becomes upbeat.  This song talks about experiencing heartbreak and trying to cover it up for the world but on the inside you feel like crying not just for the break-up but for being a guy despite warnings that he's no good.  7/10

 4) Sweet Temptation (Hollow): The first and sadly only single on the album.  The video showed the girls performing in a white room with scenes of people dancing to the song.  It's a very upbeat song but the girls seem a little bored in the video.  It took awhile for me to like the song.  9/10

 5) Doughnut: This song talks about a relationship that seems like it's going well but at the end of the song it's revealed that the guy doesn't want to commit to the relationship.  You're mad because you wasted your time on him for nothing.  It's one of my favorite songs on the album, but I have no idea why they named the song "Doughnut" when the word's never used in the song.  10/10

 6) Wishing Well: This song seems to be talking about a relationship that ended and took away the fantasy of a "happily ever after" moment which leads you to face reality, which can suck at times.  It's a pop/rock ballad that's pretty good after a couple listens.  8/10

 7) Just Like You: In video called "Ask Lillix 6" "Lacey-Lee" said that she wrote the song about her grandfather who had past away and the memories her and her sister "Tasha-Ray" had with him.  I actually thought it was about a friend moving away when I first heard it.  Either way it's my favorite song on the album and I wish it was a single because it's a beautiful song.  10/10

 8) Got Off Easy: This song is an upbeat song about the narrator cheating on their partner and getting away with it.  Even though I hate it when people cheat on their boyfriend/girlfriend, I really like this song.  Does that make me a bad person?  10/10

 9) Turpentine: This song is about feeling like an outside and not knowing where you belong.  I would've loved to see a video for it.  10/10

10) Tempo Change: The music reminds me of their song "Invisible" from "Falling Uphill" until the chorus comes in with a "tempo change".  It's a weird song to me and I don't listen to it that much at all.  5/10

11) Poor Little Girl: This song is about a girl who shows the world that she's happy but on the inside she's hurting inside but is constantly told to be happy even when you're not.  It's an okay song but I don't listen to it that much.  7/10

12) Stay: The longest song on the album that seems to be about a relationship that is ending but you still want that person to be in your life.  I haven't listened to the song that much but it's pretty good.  7/10

 After their label folded "Louise" and "Alicia" both quit the band leaving "Tasha-Ray" and "Lacey-Lee" as the only members in the band for awhile.  "Lacey-Lee" would later talk about the aftermath of their label folding and the struggles they faced.  My favorite songs on the album are: "Just Like You", "Got Off Easy", "Doughnut", "Turpentine" and "Sweet Temptation (Hollow)".  Out of 120 points I give the album 98 points which is 81%, a B.

 Thank you for reading this review, and I'm sorry it's come so late!  I'll try to get tomorrow's out earlier.

Lillix: Falling Uphill Album Review

 Today I will be reviewing "Falling Uphill" by "Lillix".  "Lillix" is band that formed way back in 1997, when the members were kids/teens and also called "Tigerlily".  At that point the band was "Louise Burns" (bassist), "Tasha-Ray Evin" (guitarist), "Lacey-Lee Evin" (keyboardist), and "Sierra Hills" (drummer).  They later signed to "Maverick Records" in 2001 but changed their name to "Lillix" because there was band already called "Tigerlily".  Then in 2002 "Sierra" left the band and was replaced by "Kim Urhahn".  Their album "Falling Uphill" was released a year later in 2003 and I'm reviewing the album today.  Here's my track by track review:

 1) Tomorrow: The third and final single from the album.  The song was co-written by "Linda Perry" who has written songs for "Christina Aguilera", P!nk", and "Alicia Keys", just to name a few.  The song is an upbeat song about spending the day by yourself because everyone else is busy.  The song was given a radio remix which sounds way better than the version on the album because it sounds like a rough demo.  7/10

 2) Quicksand: "Louise" wrote this song.  It's about cliques and stuff in high school that don't matter what you were in high school once you enter "The Real World".  It's a pretty good song.  10/10

 3) It's About Time: The first single from the album.  The song could either be taken as a bittersweet relationship with either a boyfriend or your best friend.  The song song peaked at number 17 on Japan top 20 chart, as well as being the only song on the album to chart.  I love the song and it was later re-recorded as a bonus track on the Japanese version of their third album, "Tigerlily".  10/10

 4) Dirty Sunshine: When I first heard the song I thought it sounded weird.  Several listens later I thought, this track is cool.  I think that lyrics talks about being in an unhappy relationship.  It's very different from the first three songs but still a good song nonetheless.  10/10

 5) Sick: This song is an upbeat pop/rock song about letting go of someone that makes you feel sick.  In a way it can be seen as a continuation of "Dirty Sunshine".  Another great song.  10/10

 6) Invisible: This song was written by "Lacey-Lee".  The song is about not wanting to feel invisible.  It has a good message but the song sounds so weird and feels out of place on the album.  5/10

 7) 24/7: This song was written by "Tasha-Ray".  The song is a happy upbeat song that seems to be about being in a long distance relationship and waiting for that person to come back to you.  I love the song and wish it was released as a single.  10/10

 8) Because: This song was also written by "Tasha-Ray".  It's an upbeat song about a person who never sees your side of an argument that they started.  I don't really listen to the song much "because" it's a little forgettable.  It's also the shortest song on the album being 2 minutes and 26 seconds.  6/10

 9) Promises: Like the previous two songs, this song is written by "Tasha-Ray".  The song seems to be about someone wanting the other person that regardless what happens in the future, that they'll always have each others backs.  It's a pretty good song.  8/10

10) Fork in the Road: This song is written by "Lacey-Lee".  I think the song is about someone who has trouble making their mind up about decisions.  I'm likely wrong which is sad given that the song is one of my favorites on the album.  If anyone knows what the song is about please leave a comment and tell me.  10/10

11) Lost and Confused: This song is written by "Louise".  I don't listen to the song at all mainly because I don't listen to it.  To me it's like "Because" where it's very forgettable.  6/10

12) What I Like About You: The second single from the album as well as the only cover song on the album.  It was originally performed by "The Romantics".  The song was originally recorded as the theme song to a show that was also called "What I Like About You".  It was later put on the album as well as the 2003 remake of "Freaky Friday" which stared "Lindsay Lohan" who also appears in the video.  Really great version of the song.  10/10

 "Lillix" has released two albums since "Falling Uphill".  They released their second album "Inside the Hollow" in 2006 with new drummer "Alicia Warrington" after "Kim" but the album was only released in Canada and Japan because their label "Maverick Records" went out of business.  The group was also not picked up by "Warner Bros. Records" like other artists from the previous label.  They would later release "Tigerlily" independently in 2010.

 My favorite songs on the album are: "24/7", "It's About Time", "Fork in the Road", "Dirty Sunshine", "What I Like About You", "Sick", and "Quicksand".  Out of 120 points I give the album 102 points which is 85%, a B.

 Thank you for reading this review.  I know it's not that good and I'll try to make better reviews in the future.  Also check out "Lillix's" music if you haven't yet.

Hope Partlow: Who We Are Album Review

 A lot of people may not have heard of the artist, let alone the album I'm reviewing.  But here's a little summary.  The first time I heard "Hope Partlow" was in the fall of 2005 when her first single, "Who We Are" was released.  I wasn't a big fan of it but when she released her second single "Sick Inside" I thought, this is a good song.  I would later buy the album.  Sadly before the end of 2005, "Hope" was dropped by her label "Virgin Records".  I'll say more at the end of the review.  So here's my track by track review:

 1) Who We Are: The title track and first single.  The song is an empowering song about being proud to be yourself and not care what society wants you to look like.  A couple years after its release, the song was covered by "The Cheetah Girls" for their album "TCG".  I didn't like it at first but it grew on me a bit.  8/10

 2) Don't Go: This song is a ballad about a relationship where both people are not sure if they want to continue being together or should just end it.  Back in'05, the song was one of 4 songs played on her website along with "Who We Are", "Sick Inside", and a remix of "Who We Are" and there were rumors that it was set to be the third single.  Whether it was or wasn't, the plan was likely scrapped after "Hope" was dropped from her label.  Shame because had it been released as a single, it may have helped boost album sales.  It's a great song.  10/10

 3) Crazy Summer Nights: This song has a little bit of a country feel to it.  It's about having an amazing summer with your best friends and living in the moment because as "Hope" says in the third verse, "they say you can't hold to 16 forever".  It's another great song that's very relatable.  10/10

 4) Sick Inside: The second and unfortunately final single from the album.  When it was released it given a radio remix known as the "Peter Mokran Remix".  The song is about kissing a friend's boyfriend on accident because you got caught in the moment and you regret it.  The song is mainly known for its video, which features a young "Zac Effron".  When I say young I mean before "High School Musical" but he still had that hair.  Both versions of the song are great and it was the reason I got the album in the first place.  10/10

 5) Girlfriend: In this upbeat song, "Hope" tells a boy that she wants to be his girlfriend and she promises that she'll never lead him on because she likes him for who he is.  It's a fun song and also another great one on the album.  10/10

 6) Like You Do: This song is about how "Hope" is happy that her boyfriend loves her for who she is and she feels the same way about him.  It's a cute ballad but it feels a little bit boring.  7/10

 7) I Believe In You: In this upbeat song, "Hope" comforts a friend who feels depressed but she reminds that friend that she believes in them and will always have their back.  It's a really sweet song and also fun to listen to.  10/10

 8) It's Too Late: This song is a ballad about a relationship that has ended and you wish that you could've apologized for what you said to them but they've already and you know "it's too late" to get them back.  It's pretty good.  8/10

 9) Cold: Why does this album keep going from ballad to upbeat song?  Anyway this song is about how a relationship has changed.  In the beginning your partner was so in love with you and now they've become distant and has almost given up on the relationship completely.  We've all been there right?  It's one of my favorites on the album.  10/10

10) Through It All: This song has a little hint of country music to it.  The song is about having your partner loving you for who you are and accepting your craziness.  The lyrics and chorus are perfect and it should've been a single.  10/10

11) Everywhere But Here: After a happy song, we come to an angry song.  In this song "Hope" has broken up with her boyfriend because she didn't treat her right.  I love the guitar part in the song.  8/10

12) Let Me Try: In this song "Hope" seems to be telling her boyfriend, or her maybe her parent to let her make her mistakes and try to find herself.  It's the longest song on the album, which may be the reason I don't listen to it much.  7/10

 After being dropped from "Virgin Records", "Hope" joined a band called "The Love Willows" with "Ryan Wilson", who she'd later marry.  "The Love Willows" signed with Decca Records" and release a single, "Falling Faster" and an album called "Hey! Hey!".  Unfortunately the band was dropped from "Decca Records" the same month their album was released.  Since then "Hope" and "Ryan" got divorced and she is back to making music, releasing two new songs called "Anymore" and " You Can Have Him".

 My favorite songs on the album are: "Through It All", "Don't Go", "Cold", "Sick Inside", "Crazy Summer Nights", "I Believe In You", and "Girlfriend".  Out of 120 points I give the album 108 which is 90%, an A.

 Thank you for reading this review and if you haven't, give "Hope's" music a listen to.

Atomic Kitten: Feels So Good Album Review

 I wanted to try and type up a review early given that I always type them up at the last minute.  Today I'll be reviewing "Atomic Kitten's" second album "Feels So Good".  The last time I did a review of them was back in 2014 when I reviewed their "Greatest Hits" album.  Crazy how times flies so quickly.  The album was released in 2002 and was the first full album to feature new member, "Jenny Frost" given that the group's previous album "Right Now" had some songs with "Kerry Katona" who "Jenny" would replace until 2012 when "Kerry" would return.  Now onto the review:

 1) It's OK!: The first single from the album.  The song is a ballad about getting over an ex who lied but knowing that you'll be okay.  The song peaked at number 3 in the U.K. and showed "Natasha" singing the verses and "Liz" and "Jenny" taking turns singing the hook.  The video showed the girls going to the beach, driving around, and finally on a different beach dancing with people.  According to "Jenny", "Natasha" was 5 months pregnant when they shot the video.  I would've never guessed that.  8/10

 2) Love Won't Wait: A disco-esque track about not wanting to wait for a guy's love.  The song is pretty boring and sounds a little repetitive.  4/10

 3) The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling): The second single from the album.  It is the only cover on the album, it was originally performed by "The Paragons" but was made famous by "Blondie".  "Atomic Kitten"'s version of the song had an extra bridge, hence the "Get the Feeling" part in the title.  The song was on the "Lizzie McGuire Movie" soundtrack which allowed the group to try and have success in the U.S.  The song became the group's third, and to date last, number 1 in the U.K.  The video showed the girls doing a simple dance, walking in a straight line, and also shows "Natasha" heavily pregnant but she looks beautiful as do "Liz" and "Jenny".  The girls also recorded a spanish version of the song called "Ser tu Pasión".  Some of the production from the song was used from "Billie Piper's" version of the song which was originally going to be the fourth single from her album, "Walk of Life", but she was tired of singing and the release was cancelled.  10/10

 4) Feels So Good: The title track.  It's an uplifting song about being happy.  It's a fun song to dance to and was set to be the fifth single from the album but for unknown reasons was cancelled.  Rumors were that the single version was going to feature "Kylie Minogue" who co-wrote the track, and recorded a version of the song for herself before giving the song to the group.  A fanmade version of both them singing the song together is on youtube.  I like the version on the album and wish it was released as a single.  10/10

 5) Walking on the Water: The first few seconds make the song sound like a ballad before it picks up becoming and upbeat track.  The song is about someone who is always there for you.  It's a great song that should've had a video.  10/10

 6) The Moment You Leave Me: "Liz" sings lead on this song, she also co-wrote this song.  The song is about a girl who is always there for her boyfriend but he's never there for her.  Despite this she can't find the strength to leave him.  It's pretty good.  8/10

 7) The Last Goodbye: The third single from the album.  The version on the album has "Natasha" singing both the first and second verse, while the single version shows her sharing the first verse with "Liz" and the second verse with "Jenny".  The song is a ballad about a couple that's broken up.  The video showed the girls in different parts of the city, each alone where couples are.  At the end of the video the girls meet up with each other while walking down the same street.  The song peaked at number 2 in the U.K. and is another favorite.  10/10

 8) Love Doesn't Have to Hurt: The fourth and final single from the album.  The album version is very different from the single version, given that the single version featured stronger vocals and a production that was little better than the version on the album.  That being said both version are great.  The song is about finding someone who makes you feel happy about being in love with them after several bad relationships.  The song peaked at number 4 in the U.K. which made "Feels So Good" their first, and so far only, album to have all their singles be top 5 hits.  Kudos to them.  Oh, did I mention the song was co-written by "Susanna Hoffs" from "The Bangles"?  10/10

 9) Softer the Touch: An upbeat beat song that sounds like it's about being so into a guy that no matter what he does he makes you feel so good.  It's a great song that probably could've been a hit on the dance charts if it was released in the U.S.  10/10

10) The Way That You Are: "Natasha" co-wrote this song and sings lead on it.  She likely wrote it about her then boyfriend "Fran Cosgrave", the father of her first child.  It wasn't confirmed but that's what I think anyway.  The song is about being in a relationship with someone that makes you so happy that you believe they are your soulmate.  It's a great love song.  10/10

11) Baby Don't U Hurt Me: Co-written by "Jenny", this song is about being with a guy who you believe is the one for you but you tell him not to break your heart because you've been through so many bad relationships in the past.  It's the shortest song on the album being less than 3 minutes.  Wish it was a little single.  9/10

12) So Hot: Another song that was co-written by "Jenny" that in the beginning sounds like a hit until the music changes and it sounds like a boring repetitive song.  The song may be called "So Hot" but is it "So Not".  Get it?  I know, it was a terrible joke but I couldn't resist.  4/10

13) Maybe I'm Right: An R&Bish ballad co-written by "Liz" where all the girls sing lead on different parts of the song.  The song is about being unsure about confessing your feelings to someone who you feel is the one.  It's a pretty good song to relax to song.  8/10

14) No One Loves You (Like I Love You): A dramatic sounding pop ballad about loving someone that you've never told your feelings to in fear of rejection.  It's a beautiful song that I don't listen to as much as I should.  The song is sung solely by "Liz".  7/10

 "Atomic Kitten" would release one more album, along with a greatest hits album before calling it quits (temporarily) in 2004.  They would occasionally do one off appearances from 2005 to 2008 before reuniting for "The Big Reunion" in 2013 except "Jenny" was pregnant during this time the group went back to its original line-up of "Liz", "Natasha", and "Kerry" although they've said "Jenny" is welcomed to come back at anytime.  The group would release another greatest hits album called, "Whole Again - The Best of Atomic Kitten" and are rumored to be working on their fourth album.

 My favorite songs on the album are: "The Last Goodbye", "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)", "Love Doesn't Have to Hurt", "Feels So Good", "Walking on the Water", "Softer the Touch", "The Way That You Are", and "Baby Don't U Hurt Me".  Out of 140 points I give the album 118 points which is 84%, a B.

 Thank for reading this review and leave your comments below to tell me what you think of it and if you haven't, make sure to check out "Atomic Kitten's" music on Amazon and iTunes. 

Fefe Dobson: Sunday Love Album Review

 Today's album review will be of "Fefe Dobson's" "Sunday Love".  The album was originally going to be released in 2005, but the release date was changed so many times until it was cancelled.  Thankfully the album was released to iTunes on December 18th,2012 making it her third album despite being recorded before her second album, "Joy".  "Sunday Love" was supposed to be the followup album to her first album, the self-titled "Fefe Dobson" and showcased a harder rock sound than the previous pop/rock sound from the first album.  She left her label, "Island Records", after the label cancelled the album's release.  "Fefe" began working on a new album, which was "Joy", independently before signing a new deal with "Island Records".  Here' my track by track review of "Sunday Love":

 1) As a Blonde: This is my favorite song on the album.  It's an upbeat song about poking fun at the stereotype that blondes get whatever they want (as someone's who has dyed their hair blonde several times I can tell you that is false), while also pondering what it would be like if you were a blonde.  I love the song and wish it was a single.  The song was covered by "Selena Gomez" with her band "The Scene" for their first album "Kiss & Tell".  Their version isn't as good in my opinion.  10/10

 2) In the Kissah: In this song "Fefe" is in a relationship with a guy who hookups with other girls behind her back and she forgives him each time.  Finally in the third verse it's revealed that they've broken up and she's happy without him.  The song is kinda weak compared to the rest of the album.  5/10

 3) If I Was a Guy: In this song "Fefe" says that if she was a guy she would basically be a douche.  Not being mean but that's what the lyrics are saying.  The song is kinda like "As a Blonde" where that song was saying that blondes get whatever they want and "If I Was a Guy" is saying that guys suck.  Being a guy myself, I was a little hurt when I first heard it but I have to admit that it's a pretty good song.  8/10

 4) Don't Let It Go to Your Head: The first single from the album.  The song is about being in love with someone so much that you feel like your world is ending when they're gone, all while trying to be strong on the outside.  It was the only song on the album to have a video and showed "Fefe" performing the song with her band, jumping on a bed and destroying it, and doing the robot.  The song was covered by "Jordin Sparks" for her second album, "Battlefield" ans was released as the third single from the album.  While "Fefe's" version was upbeat pop/rock, "Jordin" turned the song into an R&B ballad and did a pretty good version of it.  It was also covered by Norwegian girl group, "Lilyjets" who also released the song as their third single from the debut album, "3rd Floor".  Their version was pop/rock like "Fefe's" but their version was an uptempo ballad.  Overall a great song, but sadly it did not chart.  10/10

 5) Get You Off: This song is about a relationship where both people are in too deep that needs to end because it has become so toxic.  It's a pretty good song to rock out to.  8/10

 6) This Is My Life: The second and final single from the album.  It was given a "single version" which makes it sound a little bit more pop, probably for radio.  Despite that it didn't chart nor did it have a video.  The song is about being a relationship where you don't get to spend much time together but you still love the person and are trying to convince them not to end it.  It's a great song and both versions are amazing.  Wish it had a video.  10/10

 7) Scar: This song starts off slow until the chorus comes in making the song an upbeat song.  The song is about a relationship that was perfect in the beginning but now has come to an end after that person says they don't love you anymore.  It's pretty sad but I don't listen to the song that much.  7/10

 8) Miss Vicious: Like the previous song, this one starts off slow before quickly picking up.  The song is told from two different sides.  One from a stalker who is in love with the person, "Miss Vicious" and the other side is told from the person known as "Miss Vicious" who wants nothing to do with them.  The song is pretty good but the ending lyric creeps me out a bit because it seems that the stalker has won.  9/10

 9) Man Meets Boy: This is an acoustic song with very deep lyrics.  The song talks about someone who has been raped and their friend comforts them and tells them that person won't hurt them because the friend will be there to help them to get through it.  It's a really deep song but also really sweet.  8/10

10) Get Over Me: A pop/rock song about a relationship that has just ended.  While the ex wants to stay with the narrator, the narrator tells him that he has to "get over her" because she knows she didn't treat him right and that he deserves better then her.  It's a great song that also should've been a single.  10/10

11) Hole: This songs is about how "Fefe" realizes that no matter what her and her boyfriend do, their relationship is doomed to fail.  The song was co-written by "Kay Hanley", the lead singer of "Letters to Cleo".  The song helped me out a couple years ago when I had writer's block and is awesome to air-guitar to.  9/10

12) The Initiator: Ladies and gentleman beware!  "Fefe's" own the prowl.  That was my first impression of the song when I first heard it.  In this song "Fefe" does not wait for a guy to make to first move, instead she decides to do just that with a guy she likes.  It's a pretty straightforward song with a kick-ass guitar solo.  Did I just type that?  Anyway another favorite of mine.  10/10

13) Yeah Yeah Yeah: In this song "Fefe" talks about a guy that she initially to be with, but he didn't feel the same way and wanted to string her along for the ride.  "Fefe" finally gets tired of this and decides to let him go.  Another great song.  9/10

14) Be Strong: The song is about a girl who is trying to get over their ex and while it's hard for her, she knows that she has to "be strong".  The song was used in the movie, "It's a Boy Girl Thing".  The song starts off sounding like a ballad until the chorus comes in making it more upbeat.  I feel it would've sounded better if it was more of a slow ballad.  Still pretty good though. 6/10

 Since "Sunday Love" was officially released, digitally, "Fefe" has released only a few new songs.  She released two singles being, "Legacy" and "In Better Hands" and a promotional single called "Celebrate".  The songs were all set to be on her fourth album, "Firebird" that was scheduled for release in 2013 but to to this day has yet to be released.  Thankfully she is working on a new record that will hopefully be released this year.  My favorite song on the album are: "As a Blonde", "The Initiator", "Don't Let It Go to Your Head", "This Is My Life", "Get Over Me", "Hole", "Miss Vicious", and "Yeah Yeah Yeah".  Out of 140 points I give the album 119 points which is 85%, a B.

Tyler Kyte: Talking Pictures Album Review

 If you ever watched the show "Instant Star" (2004-2008), then you who "Tyler Kye" is.  If not, then I'll give you a brief description.  "Tyler Kyte" played "Vincent "Spied" Spiederman", the lead guitarist/and one love interest of "Jude Harrison", played by "Alexz Johnson" (whose albums I'll get to reviewing eventually).  That's all I'm gonna tell you about the series because 1) I don't want to give any spoilers and 2) This is an albums reviews blogs not a TV show reviews blog (plus if it was there would rarely be any reviews...not there are much now...)  Anyway this album review will be of "Tyler Kyte's" first album, "Talking Pictures".  Here's my track by track review:

 1) What You Need: The first and only single from the album.  The song was on both "Tyler's" ep, "Let's Talk" and the "Songs from Instant Star Season 3" soundtrack.  The version on the album sounds a little different from the version on the soundtrack.  The song talks about a guy who is love with girl who wants to leave him but he doesn't want that because he loves her too much.  It's a cute song.  10/10

 2) Some Things Are Better Left Alone: This song seems to be a song about a relationship that's hit a standstill because one of them is afraid to say what's on their mind.  I have to say I don't listen to the song that much but "Tyler's" vocals are amazing.  7/10

 3) Talking Pictures: The title track that should've been a single!  The song is about reminiscing about the good times that you had when you were younger.  It's a song that tugs at your heartstrings a little bit.  But like I said earlier, it should've been a single!  10/10

 4) Happiness: This song is a ballad about happiness isn't always easy to find but it's something worth waiting for.  The song is pretty good and the music pretty much stays the same throughout the whole song.  7/10

 5) Say It's Not Over: Continuing with every odd number song being upbeat, "Say It's Not Over" is one of my favorites on the album to listen to.  I'm ashamed to say that I'm not sure what the song is about.  I know that's sad when I just said it's one of my favorites.  10/10

 6) Sarah: Continuing with every even numbered song being a ballad (hehehe), "Sarah" is a piano ballad that "Tyler" wrote about a girl he used to date named "Sarah".  The lyrics are about a guy saying he's nothing without his girlfriend who recently broke up with him.  I don't listen to the song that much because I have a cousin named "Sarah" so it becomes a little awkward.  6/10

 7) One Day Closer: Why do I like all the upbeat songs on this album?!  The song seems to be a love song about waiting for a girl to come beck to you.  I'm likely wrong but that's what I get from the song and I wish it was a single because it probably would've had a great video.  10/10

 8) Meet You In the Middle: This ballad seems to be about seems to be about a girl who ran away from her home because she was hurting but no one saw that because she always hid it with a smile.  It's a sad song but the music is a little too distracting.  6/10

 9) Let's Talk: This is probably the only upbeat song on the record that I don't listen to.  The song seems to be about trying to figure out how you fit "the mold" of business whether it be in the entertainment world or something else.  I'm not really a fan of this song.  6/10

10) Sunlight: The album closer, which is a piano ballad about being in love with someone.  Like all of the other songs on the album, "Tyler's" voice is awesome and it's a pretty good song.  6/10

 While "Tyler Kyte" has not released a second album yet he has remained active in music touring with "Nick Rose" and his own band "Tyler Kyte and the Nice Guys."  Also a demo song called "Hanging by a Thread" was leaked onto youtube back in 2013.  Not sure whether it was recorded for "Talking Pictures" or if it was a song set for a second album that was never completed.  Either way it's a great song that I wish got released and not leaked.

 My favorite songs on the album are: "Say It's Not Over", "One Day Closer", "Talking Pictures" and "What You Need".  Out of 100 point I give the album 78 points which is 78%, a C+.
