Featured: An introduction to some Skyrocket Love

Feature by Marco - Feb. 22nd 2010

A few weeks back I was contacted by a guy named Merritt with the request if I would be interested in taking a listen to his band's music and share my opinion. After a few spins I came to the conclusion that they had some pretty great stuff going for them. So I figured it would be great if we could do something for them relating to theFonic. And so, after a few messages sent back and forth, they agreed to do an interview. With that our new featured section was born! Click or tap on past the break for the full interview and info about your favorite new band: Skyrocket Love.

Chris Brown - Graffiti

Review by GJ - Dec. 9th 2009

With 2 studio albums to your name, you've got to be ready to deliver on some pretty large expectations as an artist. After an ugly scene with ex-girlfriend Rihanna -- that divided the industry into two camps -- the ruling notion was that CB's career was over. Luckily for us he stayed focused and entered the recording studio to deliver us "Graffiti" as a result. The question on our minds: is "Graffiti" as "Exclusive" as "Chris Brown"?

Clipse - Til the Casket Drops

Review by Mimo - Dec. 8th 2009

They're 'Kinda Like a Big Deal' and with already their fourth album (don't forget Exclusive Audio Footage) we guess at the least they have some staying power. With all eyes on them in this review of "Til the Casket Drops" let's see if those words hold true for this Hip-hop duo.

Timbaland - Shock Value 2

Review by GJ - Dec. 6th 2009

When Timbaland unleashed his second solo album on to the world in 2007 he turned the industry upside down. Singles like 'The Way I Are' (ft. Keri Hilson & D.O.E) and 'Apologize' (ft. OneRepublic) took their rightful place at the top of the charts. After having a disagreement with protégé Nathaniel 'Danja' Hills, Timbaland turned to co-producer J-Roc to help score every track on Timbaland's third solo project. Can Timbaland deliver yet another shocking experience with "Shock Value 2"?

Ryan Leslie - Transition

Review by Mimo - Nov. 3rd 2009

Ryan Leslie: singer/rapper/songwriter/producer (or overall musical centipede if you will) is a real multitasker who -- next to all of the studio time he has put in this year for artists like: Mary J. Blige, Fabolous, Slim and Jazmine Sullivan (to name a few) -- still has the time to deliver us his second studio album within 9 months of his self-titled debut "Ryan Leslie".
