来自美国的年轻黑人女子团体Cherish从06年走上音乐道路，虽然出的音乐不多，但已经在美国和欧洲等一些国家拥有众多的歌迷团体。其幕后包装和大牌的支持不容小视，组合从外型、到嗓音、到音乐本身，都没有太多亮点，不过年轻、漂亮、不错的和声，加上流行的R&B，能找到自己的一片星空也不是一件不容易的事。这盘新专辑的几首新歌在上个月初就已经登陆美国的音乐电台，网络上也基本上可以下载到部分单曲。上榜不到一周的时间就已经迅速爬到前10位，这次新专辑的发行宣传销售应该问题不大，喜欢流行R&B的朋友可以下载试听，整张专辑听下来很舒服。
Cherish官网上声明这张专辑在今年5月13发行。这张专辑本来应该在上个月29号就发行了，但后来被推迟了。到目前为止，已有两首单曲已经现世了： “Killa”和“Amnesia”。在最近的访谈里，乐队成员Fallon如是说：“对我来说新专辑最大的不同就是只要有创造力，你的音乐艺术细胞就能不断放大，而我们乐队这些年一直在创新，因此，我们的新专辑的音乐也在趋渐精美。考虑到这张专辑的每首歌都基于个人经历而且我们想让每首歌都让歌迷感同 “声”受，于是我们就把这张专辑命名为《The Turth》。我们希望每个人都知道在经历那些事的时候不再孤单，我们会一直陪着他们。”这张专辑在英国发行时间为12号，早美国1天，但是曲目都一样。日本版在14号发行，其中将有两首额外曲目：“Do It To It [Rap Remix]”和 “Silly”。
Cherish is an American R&B and pop girl group consisting of the sisters Farrah King (born 1984), Neosha King (born 1986), and twins Felisha and Fallon King (born 1988). The four sisters are originally from Atlanta. The group is signed to Capitol Records and Sho'nuff Records.

They also recorded 3 songs for The Powerpuff Girls: Power Pop soundtrack called "Chemical X", "Power of a Female" and "Me and My Girls". They completed a whole album named The Moment that was shelved for undisclosed reasons. After 3 years the group came back with the summer hit "Do It to It" which featured Sean Paul of the YoungBloodZ. The single hit the Billboard Hot 100 at number 12 and entered many other charts including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs on Billboard and many more. The second single off the album was "Unappreciated".
The album will be releasing on May 13, 2008 as confirmed on their official website. The album was initially to release on April 29, 2008, however was pushed back. There have been 2 singles released from the album so far. One is called "Killa" and the other is called "Amnesia". In a recent interview memeber, Fallon, described the album as: "The biggest difference to me is the fact that you grow artistically whenever you’re being creative and we’ve been creative for the past couple of years. Our artistry has grown. When we wrote The Truth, we named the album The Truth because basically every song on the album is from personal experiences and we wanted to get personal with our fans. We want everybody to know that they’re not alone going through these things and we’re here."The album will be released in the UK on May 12th- 1 day before the US release and the tracklist is exactly the same. The Japanese release is on May 14th and will feature 2 bonus tracks "Do It To It [Rap Remix]" & "Silly".

《Channel Orange》目前获得的评价都十分积极。《娱乐周刊》的梅丽莎·马尔斯（Melissa Maerz）称赞了该专辑中的情歌，并认为他的音乐完美地攫取了话题的关键。[10] 《时代》的梅丽莎·洛克（Melissa Locker）则称奥申为“一颗冉冉升起的演奏家新星”，并称他的歌词“将该专辑从一张仅仅是好过一般水准的节奏布鲁斯唱片提升为一张充满才华[...]的成熟专辑，特别是考虑到它的创作者却如此年轻”。[11]AllHipHop.com的乔·加西亚（Jon Garcia）批评一些人将关注点放在围绕奥申的争议上，而不是关心他的音乐所表达的信息，“弗兰克·奥申通过《Channel Orange》，将自己置于音乐流派区隔和身份标签之上。这不是一个夏季休闲音乐，也不是深刻的音乐，亦不是灵乐，也不是奇怪的音乐，更不是同志音乐”。[12]The Lantern则在点评该专辑时称，“《Channel Orange》是性感的，我如果要形象的描述，它就像是80年代城市的夜晚。这就是它给我的感觉。‘Sierra Leone’就是一个好例证……我在韦斯特2010年的巨著《My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy》之后，还从未被如此感动过”。评论者给给专辑的评级是“A”。[13]Billboard.com发表的专辑评论也趋向正面，表示“……无论在该专辑中奥申是怎样的情绪，这些歌曲听起来都太棒了。标准化的音乐制作流程并没有扼杀歌手那多变的声线，这些声音绕梁三日，给听者以前所未有的感受，《Channel Orange》中没有一首烂歌，尽管有些时候奥申可以把持的更好。”评论者表示“Pyramids”是该专辑的中流砥柱，并且盛赞了它的结构。

R&B新星，格莱美奖得主Chrisette Michele时隔2年后的最新大碟。专辑中包括有和Ne-Yo, Chuck Harmony等知名R&B艺人及制作人的合作，势将延续首张专辑的成功。
Chrisette Michele -- Def Jam 旗下一位专业的美国R&B歌手。她其实早在很多脍炙人口的hiphop专辑里崭露头角，比如Jay-Z的Kingdom Come专辑第二主打单曲"Lost One"，在Nas的Hip Hop Is Dead专辑里三次献声，以及她的第二主打单曲"Can´t Forget About You"，Kanye的West-produced 专辑里的"Still Dreaming"和压轴曲目"Hope"。Nas的妈妈 和Michele的妈妈都是在Queensbridge居民区长大，从小耳濡目染的一些事所产生的这些潜移默化的影响和童年的记忆都给了她创作的灵感。就像Billie Holiday和Ella Fitzgerald一样，Michele的风格有很浓的怀旧气息。作为一个教会执事的女儿，Michele在高中和大学时期都是担任教会合唱团的领唱。她创作的歌曲都有很浓的基督教义的味道，而且还乐此不疲

这是一张绝对不能错过的爵士精华专辑，静静推荐给大家希望更多的人了解和喜欢爵士乐。如果你是刚接触爵士乐不久的朋友，如果你是喜欢怀旧的人，如果你是身心疲惫寻觅栖息港湾的人，那么静下心来，聆听这张专辑吧。
Nina Simone、Count Basie、Louis Armstrong、Ella Fitzgerald、Sarah Vaughan、Chet Baker、Miles Davis、Stan Getz、Billie Holiday、Dinah Washington、Benny Goodman、Nat King Cole、Dave Brubeck、Diana Krall、Oscar Peterson 、Etta James、Joao Gilberto，这些熟悉而震撼的名字一定会给你带来不同凡响的听觉冲击，大师们的经典名作无异于一场饕餮大餐，静静请您举杯上座。

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (Acoustic) - Single Released: Jan 10, 2012

Born to Die is the second studio album and major-label debut by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 27, 2012 by Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Stranger Records. Del Rey collaborated with producers including Patrik Berger, Jeff Bhasker, Chris Braide, Emile Haynie, Justin Parker, Rick Nowels, Robopop, and Al Shux to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily baroque pop record, which sees additional influences from alternative hip hop, indie pop and trip hop music.
Contemporary music critics gave Born to Die mixed reviews; some commended its distinctive production, while its repetitiveness and melodramatic tendencies were a recurring complaint. The record debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after moving one million units. Born to Die reached the peak position on eleven international record charts, and has sold 8.5 million copies worldwide as of May 2015.
After attaining online success after its initial premiere on June 29, 2011, "Video Games" was released as the lead single from Born to Die on October 17, 2011; it peaked at number 91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its follow-up singles "Born to Die", "Off to the Races", "Blue Jeans", "Summertime Sadness", "National Anthem", and "Dark Paradise" performed sporadically across Billboard component charts and international record charts. The Cedric Gervais remix of "Summertime Sadness" was released on July 11, 2013, and became Del Rey's highest-charting single in the United States, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Del Rey additionally promoted Born to Die with several televised performances, including a widely criticized appearance on Saturday Night Live. It was reissued on November 9, 2012 as an expanded version subtitled The Paradise Edition, which was packaged with her third extended play Paradise (2012).

With hitmaker Irv Gotti at the helm, Ashanti blasted into the urban music scene in 2002, topping the charts with multiple singles at once. She quickly became a sensation, gracing the covers of magazines and dominating urban radio.

("Unfoolish") — contrasting the tough-guy male perspective with her own. It didn't take...
