Since 2006, Morrison has released four studio albums, all of which have been nothing less than stellar. What makes Morrison so remarkable is his ability to remain consistent on each of his albums, thus always leaving his listeners satisfied.
His latest album, The Awakening, has managed provide the same heart, soul, and sensual vocals audiences have now come to expect from him.”

Check out Mike Moynahan’s review of @BadBooksMusic’s Album “II” and let us know what you think:
“Since Bad Books, the indie supergroup made up of members of Manchester Orchestra and singer/songwriter Kevin Devine, released their debut self-titled album in 2010, a lot has gone on. Manchester Orchestra released Simple Math, their third studio album in May of 2011 and Devine released his sixth studio album Between the Concrete and Clouds in September 2011. Heck, in addition to that, Manchester Orchetra’s singer, Andy Hull, finished the final edition of his trilogy of solo albums under the moniker Right Away, Great Captain!. The first two albums were released in 2007 and 2008 respectively but Hull took his time with the third installment, entitled The Church of the Good Thief, and released it in June of this year. So with all this recording, along with touring, many were afraid that Bad Books first album might be a one and done operation. However, the group made it known that there would be more Bad Books and on October 9, they upheld that promise, as their second album, Bad Books: II, was released on Triple Crown Records.”

“Think of the album as a musical mood ring: each song represents a particular color which denotes a particular feeling. This album allows for the listener to feel color, to understand for the first time how the color red might sound. The Color Spectrum provides a song for every human emotion, creating an album that is impossible not to connect to.”

Jimmy Eat World are aiming to release their new album in the first half of 2013. Check out a tweet from the band below by clicking “Read More.”
““Radioactive” is the second single released from Imagine Dragons’ debut albumNight Visions. It is the first track on the album and shows so much promise for the songs that follow. However, the remaining eleven tracks just cannot match up to what “Radioactive” provides, which was something I was shocked to find out. It was hard to believe that the rest of the album wouldn’t produce the same satisfaction that “Radioactive” had given me.”

“If you haven’t heard Usher’s “lead single” from his album Looking 4 Myself, do yourself a favor and immediately skip to the third track. Only then will you experience the sexiest side of Usher Raymond you have ever seen.”
“The LA-based duo consists of Asa Taccone on vocals and Mathew Compton on drums. When the band tours, however, E.G. becomes a foursome, with Todd and Tory Dahlhoff on keyboards and bass. Together, they form Electric Guest, who created a debut album, Mondo, so impressive they made “MTV’s 11 Artists to Watch In 2012.” the album also features Lana Del Rey, Avicii and Fun..”

“
Scott and Seth Avett, the guys who comprise the Avett Brothers, are back at it again with their new album, The Carpenter, which was released on September 11th on Universal Republic with producer Rick Rubin. The brothers, who play banjo and guitar respectively, are joined by figurative brothers Bob Crawford on bass, Joe Kwon on cello, and Jacob Edwards on percussion. The album is the group’s first since 2009’s I and Love and You and it does not disappoint.”
