Alanis Morissette – Flavors Of Entanglement

27 05 2008

Posted By Yousef

I’m not a big fan of Alanis Morissette I just like listening to her debut album every now and then. I think she wrote great songs on that album, and she seemed to have lots of potential especially if she wrote that many hits for her debut, you’d think with the success she’s had that year and how hungry she seemed for success, she’d become a hit machine. But she released many albums after that one that did nothing to me, I liked non of them, maybe just a couple of singles and her unplugged album, but not a single album came close to her debut imo.

With this new album things are different, I don’t know what she’s doing differently, but I find her interesting again. I like atleast 3 songs up to know and my favorite being Underneath & Moratorium.

Listen to Underneath:

The album should drop on the 10th of June.

Mac Users, this is a nice program if you want to convert RM to MP3. Its simple and easy to use, it barely has an interface (you can’t get any simpler). All you have to do is, take the song’s link, drag and drop it in this software and it’ll do the rest. It takes an average of 40-50 secs to convert a song.

The only thing that may annoy you is the the need for an internet connection for it to work.

The download link can be found in this site.

Rumors have been circulating in the media all through last week about this surprise wedding. Now its confirmed, she got married to Nick Cannon, and who’s a better source of confirmation than the big O herself?

I knew something would get in my way of seeing Mariah in Dubai. I just knew. Now watch her cancel the show and the promoters refund our money.

Edit:

Just as predicted, the concert got canceled and they’re refunding our money.

E=MC² Finally Leaks To The Internet

7 04 2008

I’m having a ball right now. Mariah’s (technically) upcoming album finally leaked to the internet! Been waiting a long time for it. Its her longest time off between albums, she used to crank out album after album each year of the 90’s but now, its been 3 years since her last one! (not bad when compared to other artists. for example Lauren Hill is yet to release a real studio album and its been 9 years since her last one. Thank God I’m not a big fan of hers).

In E=MC² Mariah lets loose and stop worrying about sounding perfect and concentrate on delivering the emotional punch. When she’s singing about having fun, the bass is thumping. When she’s singing about love, she’s emotionally charged and when she’s singing about forgiveness and letting go, she takes it to church.

I’m loving the album. *shocker* :P
