Santogold by Santogold

Wow. What else can we say about the eleventh studio album from singer/songwriter/instrumentalist/whistler, Andrew Bird?

I Am...Sasha Fierce by Beyonce
We confess that it's not our favorite album of all time. In fact, Beyonce's Grammy-winning B'Day wowed us more. But her newest I Am...Sasha Fierce still has enough redeeming qualities to make it worth owning. We like the way the 11-track album is divided into... [More]
Safe Trip Home by Dido
It's been a month of really great new releases, and Dido's Safe Trip Home is the newest, and possibly best, offering yet. Dido's smooth and emotive vocals remain (thankfully) unchanged in this album, but she departs from her electronic sound, choosing instead a richer background... [More]
