with a slew of new stuff spewing out on the interweb, i thought i'd be a tad nice and pass on some gems for you to savor (plus, i'm on jury duty, so i can't do anything during the day). enjoy!
siobhan donaghy -
there's a place[with the album
ghosts recently leaked out, i have to say there are so many beautiful gems on siobhan's debut that it's turning my head in. i've chosen a gorgeous lullabye that happily proves that siobhan has left her sugababes roots far far behind. definitely a contender for the best album of the month!]
beyonce -
still in love (kissing you)[for those of us ballad freaks, you will easily recognize this cover version of the classic
des'ree song that she penned for the decade old
romeo & juliet soundtrack. taken from the packed b-day re-issue, b does a nice job of not over doing the vocals as she is prone to do alot these days. lovely.]
natasha bedingfield -
soulmate[natasha's debut album
unwritten was a surprise not only in it's dearth of singles but with vocals that were even more impressive live. her upcoming album
n.b. looks to continue the tradition (though from the 5 track sampler, i have yet to hear something as catchy as "unwritten")]
timbaland feat m.i.a. -
come around[featured on the uk version of his upcoming album
shock value, this collaboration could have been explosive, but has turned out a bit boring if you ask me.]
