Tuesday's Reviews
Back to redeem herself, with her Tenth studio album Janet Jackson is bouncing back with a vengence; Discipline.
The album is a mash up of all her greatest dance hits plus the great 'baby makin' ballads that she is also known for. It is a very up-beat project, perfectly flowing from one song to the next. A 22-track album guaranteed to take you, through a rollercoster of emotions, back down memory lane, and maybe reminisce about old lovers or past relationships.

Janet seems to be in a all-out battle with herself to be the best at what she does, she will succeed and most likely make 10 more albums. Ms. Jackson is dedicated and eager, strong and wise. This is her history.

Often imitated but never duplicated... Erykah Badu is back at it again with her Fourth studio album; New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War
With a master mix of funk, hip hop and an outer space swag Ms. Badu yet again bring the funkiness to the table. Her sultry voice on top of an out-of-this world beat makes this album a definite must have. She blends the rawness of reality with America's love for Hip Hop and breathes life into every song.
As the first part to her planned trilogy opens, Amerykhan Promise comes through the speakers sounding more like a retro skate-party theme and it paints a picture in your mind of a happy time, partying and dancing to this joint. But this track sets the mood for what is yet to come.
Once your speakers have adjusted, The Healer blares out of them and suddenly there is a groove going and your head is nodding; Erykah has that effect on some people. This song is classic and has plenty of staying time, long after this album is long and forgotten.
A few more tracks flow through, That Hump slows it down a bit, gives you time to grasp the feeling.. the melody.. the beat. She's talking about something and she wants you to listen. This track is surely a transition from the up-tempo Master Teacher and Twinkle.
An 11-track album made for the masses, built on Mars, sent to Earth for your listening pleasure. No one could've done it better than Ms. Badu and hip hop thanks her. She classic and untainted, flawless and simplistic. This is her greatness.
