Rihanna – Talk That Talk Preview

Ohhh shoot, Rihanna’s new album, Talk That Talk, delivers.  After the huge success of her first single, “We Found love,” the Caribbean queen continues to use more of an electronic sound for the rest of her album.  “Where Have You Been,” is destined to be another club hit, Jay-z lends a verse to the album’s title track (was hoping big things from this collabo but it’s no “Umbrella”), and sampling XX’s “Intro,” Rihanna sounds great on, “Drunk On Love.” Overall its a pretty solid album and fans won’t be disappointed.  Pick it up November 21st.

Gym Class Heroes ft. Ryan Tedder – The Fighter

I will give these guys credit, The Papercut Chronicles II, is filled with radio hit after radio hit.  With “The Fighter,” the Gym Class Heroes enlist the help of singer/songwriter and frontman of One Republic, Ryan Tedder.  Again they have struck pop hit gold, should be headed to a radio station near you, and also radio stations not near you.  Also see “”Ass Back Home”, posted previously on AOS.

Drake – Over My Dead Body

Take Care opens with ego filled bars over a simple beat with a nice female chorus.  “Over My Dead Body,” is one of the few rapping tracks, at least it seems, for an album that showcases more of an R&B side of the Toronto artist.  While it is still too soon for me to judge, I am divided at the moment in how much I like this album.  It has many highlights and I will post a full review soon.

Washed Out – New Theory (RAC Mix)

Happy Monday everybody!  To start your day off we bring a remix of Washed Out’s mellow track “New Theory.”  This is off their Life of Leisure EP.  This would make a great music montage song, and it has already been featured in the credits of How To Make It In America.  Speaking of montages, I remember watching Baywatch (for the storyline of course) and that show was full of them.  Slow motion, running on the beach, Pamela Anderson bouncing everywhere, and long montages.  No wonder the Europeans loved it.
