Colbie Caillat:
Breakthrough (Deluxe Ed.)

Breakthrough
Allmusic.com Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine... Colbie Caillat's breakthrough arrived before Breakthrough, when her debut Coco turned into a breezy surprise hit. Breakthrough isn't meant to catapult Caillat into a mainstream that already knows her, but to consolidate her success, so it's not entirely a surprise that the album bears evidence of her showbiz kid roots, a record that relies just a bit more on the studio than the song. It's a creation that's slicker and sleeker than the debut, but fortunately, it's not quite at the expense of Caillat's simple charms. The high-buff sheen on Breakthrough can mean that the songs glide down a little too smoothly, sliding down like a velvety Piña Colada which is perhaps a bit too sophisticated after the everyday charms of Coco, and perhaps a little bit too polished for Colbie in general. Underneath all that gloss, Caillat remains a simple girl singing songs of love as light and crisp as a sugar cookie. Too many of these in a row can cause a toothache, but having a handful at a time is a sweet ordinary treat. More...

Kylie Says Her Clothes Get Better Treatment Than Herself

The Australian born star, Kylie Minogue has recently disclosed that she thinks her clothes get better treatment than she does.

Sometime ago, Minogue donated several of her clothes, specifically her stage costumes to Melbourne's performing arts Museum in Melbourne, Australia. These stage costumes included one of her more famous hot gold pants that she wore in the video of her single Spinning Around that debuted in 2000. The 42-year old star has expressed amazement at how well her stage costumes are cared for and protected in the museum.

While during an official interview with DJ Scott Mills from BBC Radio 1, Minogue explained her feelings at watching the costumes at the Museum. As far as the hold gold pants are concerned, Minogue revealed that they are locked behind high security at the performing arts museum in Melbourne, where I've donated all my show costumes. She also said that the iconic hold gold pants were not on display like the other stage costumes at the moment and that they were locked away behind maximum security in a temperature-controlled room in the Museum.

Minogue also said that the stage costumes went on tour recently and were put on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The star feels intimidated by the fact that her outfits were displayed in V&A Museum behind a glass box; she feels that they?re better treated than I am! She also explained the atmosphere of the Melbourne's Performing Arts Museum before the outfits went on display to the public, Before the first exhibition, there were ladies running around in white gloves putting everything in place.

However, Kylie Minogue also felt that she might have run into some trouble with the Museum curators when she tried arranging one of the outfits on display. The singer of All the Lovers explained that she visited the museum the day before the exhibition day to look at the displays. She was looking at a large feather crow headpiece and she felt that it was not sitting on the mannequin properly so she tried to move it and according to Kylie, ?the assistants were just there quivering at me.

In her defense, she claimed that she still thought of the clothes as her own which is why she was trying to move the display. Kylie Minogue, who was on the Queen Elizabeth's 2008 New Year's honor list is scheduled to tour in 2011 and recently appeared on BBC1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Kylie is not only a singer and actress but also a fashion designer, philanthropist, author and entrepreneur who also featured in one of the most awaited Bollywood film's Blue. The film was shot in the Bahamas and was said to be the most expensive Bollywood film ever made. The Australian star was featured in a song in the movie which got mixed reviews from the critics.

The Lonely Island :
Incredibad

Incredibad
Allmusic.com Review by David Jeffries... For a comedy group that was born and raised in visual mediums -- web videos and the Saturday Night Live television show -- the Lonely Island are still way ahead of the curve when it comes to the comedy album format. Of course, music was at least half the reason links to their series of SNL Digital Shorts would dominate in-boxes every following Monday. The smart mimicry of teen pop ("Dick in a Box"), Euro-disco ("Jizz in My Pants"), or old-school rap ("Lazy Sunday") is half the attraction, and when you add the "aw shucks" look of on-camera Islander Andy Samberg, you can get away with a lot of shocking material. So many mentions of naughty bits would be tedious if Samberg and SNL writers Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone didn't have the brains to pull it off, and dealing with the differences between races seems much less dangerous when the trio show they're well-versed in the works of their hip-hop guests, E-40 and T-Pain. Their hiring of eccentric underground rap producer J-Zone shows their in tune with what's next and when white rasta wannabe "Ras Trent" complains of his "bomboclat parents" and declares he can make a chalice out of a Sprite can, the snarky commentary is made all the sweeter by a lyric that drops two deep reggae references: "Me night nurse never want to plant de corn." The track has also been updated so that a visual joke from the original SNL version is removed, and with all the interludes and new material, plus fake alternative album covers throughout the booklet, this isn't an afterthought but a fully committed comedy album. On top of that, it's a hilarious comedy album that's just as hip, inventive, and inappropriate as their digital shorts. More...

Jadakiss:
The Last Kiss

The Last Kiss
Allmusic.com Review by David Jeffries... In a genre where albums frequently miss their street date, Jadakiss' The Last Kiss is an especially late hip-hop release, having been pushed back, retitled, and retooled numerous times. This problematic arrival shows too in the final product, but the problem may not be the much maligned rapper's ability or inspiration but the constant mishandling of his material. So many prime street cuts have been given away to comps, mixtapes, and soundtracks in the five years since Kiss of Death was released that only the slick, polished numbers remain, save the misleading kickoff "Pain & Torture." Two tracks later he's singing the silly "If you're real and you know it/Clap your hands" over an unsurprising Swizz Beats production, but it's "Grind Hard" that really disappoints, with the Mary J. Blige support coming off as standard. That's a first, but "What If" isn't a first at all, using the exact same structure as Kiss of Death's Nas collaboration "Why." One of the more interesting cuts, the heartfelt "Letter to B.I.G.," already appeared on the Notorious soundtrack, and the album's title is nonsense, as Jada had already declared his intention to keep going. Despite what the haters say, this is another missed opportunity for Jadakiss, a man whose best work never lands on the high-profile releases. More...
