This week in music it goes from hip hop to rock, from Eminem to Cyndi Lauper. If you are looking to add to your CD collection check out some of the ones below. Make sure you get them before supplies runs out.
The Detroit born rapper, Eminem, has new album that seems really hopeful. Pink, Rihanna, Lil Wayne all appear on this album, all enhance it. His latest album is titled Recovery. He is working with producers such as Jim Jonsin, DJ Kahlil, Just Blaze to name a few. He comes off as downright inspiring to somewhat patronizing, but that’s just the element that makes him Eminem. It includes a total of 17 track on this can’t miss album.
Cyndi Lauper is also coming out with her new bluesy feel, with her album Memphis Blues. She features some people such as B.B. King, Ann Pebbles, and Johnny Lang on this down home vibe album. If you looking for “true” blues maybe this is not your thing, but if you are a big Lauper fan or just like new and interesting music, don’t miss this one.
The Roots are finally busting out with their album too, How I Got Over, after much delay. They have proven themselves adept in handling themselves from jazz to hip hop and do an awesome job with it. They have called in such artist as John Legend who they like so well he appears twice, and also Dirty Projectors.
Miley Cyrus’s much anticipated album Can't Be Tamed actually has backup vocals of Bret Michael on her cover Poison’s classics Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Although she may have given up her show on Disney, this county star is emerging as force to be reckoned with. Maybe the new Britney Spears with less babies and random nudity.
Well here some of the big names in music this week. If you’re looking to add to your CD collection you can get them all by clicking below and getting from Amazon. Get them while supplies last.
