REVIEW: will.i.am – Willpower

Artist: will.i.am
Album: Willpower
Genre: Hip-hop, electropop
Label: Interscope

It’s been six years since will.i.am’s last solo venture was released, so Willpower is exactly the kind of leviathan you’d expect it to be. Fifteen tracks long (eighteen on the deluxe version) and generous with the pomp and circumstance, it’s an album of generally mixed fortunes. will.i.am – or William Adams, to his mum – seems to have jammed in a song or two for every year of his absence from the solo scene. He’s come up with plenty to love – classical samples are plentiful and generally beautiful and …

REVIEW: OneRepublic – Native

Artist: Onerepublic
Album: Native
Genre: Pop/rock
Label: Mosley/Interscope

I’m not sure if this is due to the calibre of music I reviewed earlier in the week, but I am thoroughly unmoved by this album. I want to like it – at least, I think I do. It’s by OneRepublic who are naught if not predictable, and in theory should be providing a solid piece of generically accessible pop/rock to score the background of technology ads for the next year or so. It is the definition of mainstream pop. It’s big in scale, bland on sound, enhanced to within an inch …

INTERSCOPE RECORDS NO DOUBT

WATCH: No Doubt On Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel has had two days of being on a new time slot on ABC, and on one of those days, he had No Doubt perform “Push And Shove” and “Hella Good”. The performance is pretty good, and Gwen Stefani looks amazing; unfortunately, it doesn’t change my overall opinion of their latest album.

He also recently had Brad Paisley on, but you won’t catch me posting that here or anywhere. You can watch the two performances from Jimmy Kimmel Live here after the break.
