John Mayer
Title
Room For Squares
Label: Sony
Genre: Folk Rock
Format: Music CD

|
| This would be version #3 of this album. First an indie release on Blue Dot (Soul Miner's Daughter, Jennifer Nettles Band), then picked up by Aware who just happens to be currently distributed by Columbia Records... who saw the talent & decided it needed a "major label" release. This version is the most polished, radio-friendly version [example, Star 94 has been playing the hell out of his current single & calling it "new for 2002", but this record has been out for 2 years.] Includes the track "3x5" not on previous releases and if you act soon enough, the initial pressing of the album includes a bonus disc of 2 live cuts! |

Artist
Nelly Furtado
Title
Whoa Nelly
Label: Dreamworks
Genre: Pop Rock
Format: Music CD

|
Includes the hits "I'm Like A Bird", "Turn Off The Light", and the new single "Shit On The Radio".
Blame it on the bossa nova, but this chick has got soul. By filtering her Portuguese roots through the trip-hop she was weaned on, Nelly Furtado creates a hypnotic form of R and B/alternapop that at times sounds like Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Gwen Stefani all rolled into a Portishead song. Cutting her teeth at four Lilith Fair dates before even having a record contract, Furtado seems accelerated far beyond her 21 years. Listen, and you can hear the Portuguese fado tradition, Brazilian beats, flashy urban rhymes--enough snap, crackle, and pop to fill your breakfast bowl. |

Artist
RES
Title
How I Do
Label: MCA
Genre: Soul R and B
Format: Music CD
click here for more info about How I Do - RES
|
Debut album from this artist out of Philadelphia.
A musical sorority sister of Alicia Keys and Angie Stone--though she'd doubtless bristle at the suggestion--Philly-reared soul singer Res nevertheless manages to strike a convincing balance between the street and the studio on How I Do, juxtaposing saucy, melodic pop with more ragged funk and R and B. That kind of crossover is impressive, but Res (pronounced Reese) uses her elastic and surprisingly vibrato-free voice to poke around in various corners, even taking tentative steps toward rhyme. |

Shelby Lynne
Title
Love, Shelby
Label: Island
Genre: Rock
Format: Music CD
click here for more info about Love, Shelby - Shelby Lynne
|
Another smooth release from this Grammy-totin' diva. Beauty, music, and a healthy side of sass.
When former country starlet Shelby Lynne reinvented her musical persona on 2000's flawed but affecting I Am Shelby Lynne, critics salivated and even the Grammys responded with a belated Best New Artist trophy. The album's sound, somewhere between classic Memphis grooves, gothic swamp music, and post-Brill Building AM pop, was special enough that word of Lynne's studio collaboration with hyper-commercial producer-songwriter Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews Band) set some minds to worrying that her edge would be lost. They can stop fretting. Love, Shelby is actually superior in some ways to its predecessor.
