Single Selections: Sade

Sade - The Moon & The Sky (Remix) feat. Jay-Z   4.5/5   Myspace


  A sensual beat, the exotic, seductive vocals of Sade makes for a hypnotic blend of R&B/Soul. Jay-Z's appearance on the remix is surprisingly subdued enhancing the narrative for a slick, sexy single that will be in constant rotation.



Lady Gaga - Judas   4/5   Myspace


   Building on the formula of 'Bad Romance' this high octane, industrial driven dance pop track, complete with biblical reference, it's what Gaga does best hauling ass onto the dance floor with her sing-along chorus' and foot stomping beats.


J. LO - Papi   3/5    iTunes


   Even without Pitbull's guest appearance, American Idol's Paula 2.0, proves she can still make hip, catchy, latin infused club bangers. It may not be profound or Grammy worthy but she gets points for making dancefloor pop tunes.


Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect   1.5/5  Myspace


   UK import Jessie J make have a set of pipes but they go to waste on this b-side R&B-pop single that proves a good song is just as important as a good voice. It's hard to feign interest for this angst ridden, false confessional pop tune that can be found in the remainders bin at Walmart.  


Holy Ghost! - It's Not Over   3.5/5   Myspace


   Off the electro-pop duo's debut self-titled album 'It's Not Over' recalls a modern day New Order classic. There's no denying the charm of this 80s inspired hipster dance track.
