CD REVIEW! Justin Bieber - Believe

Wow! Justin Bieber is all grown up! " Believe ," his third full-length album, is a 13-track set that shows that Bieber, now 18, is growing as a musician, and the result is enjoyable. The CD showcases Justin’s vocal range and wide array of styles. He co-wrote every single song on the album with the exception of “Beauty And A Beat”. The tone of the album all around is rather laid back – “chill” if you will. Most of it isn’t the high-pitched noise of “Baby” and “Somebody to Love”, but rather the cool tone of lead single “Boyfriend”. He has come such a long way from his hit “Baby”. If you thought his fan base was huge before, Believe will only garner him more. The deluxe physical package will contain an additional three tracks: “Out Of Town Girl,” “She Don’t Like The Lights,” and “Maria.” Our verdict: A grown up Justin surprises us with a mature album that is actually worth taking him seriously. Others say: It's cosmopolitan pop sophistication, designed to make this th

CD REVIEW! Muse - The 2nd Law

Muse's 6th album is a mix pot of everything thrown in to create a unique sci-fi soundtrack set on a dub-step planet. As Rolling Stone Magazine put it so perfectly: "The album is their most expansive and varied yet, filling out a go-to mix of Queen boom and Radiohead gloom with disco Bowie, Eighties U2, metal, dub step and enough strings to support a suspension bridge – then wrapping this distinctly English prog-rock crazy quilt around a distinctly English prog-rock theme." The best song on this CD is Madness - it's set to an icy cool bass line with a chorus and guitar bits that make you think of Queen's I Want To Break Free and A Kind Of Magic. But when you get to the track Unsustainable, your musical senses are shot to outer space with guitar and dub step debris floating around. In a nutshell, it's a great released and huge experiment for the band, but they succeed. Experience the weird-yet-genius sounds of Unsustainable, HERE !

Olly Murs goes naked at G-A-Y

Patrons at the famous London nightclub G-A-Y got more than they bargained for when English singer-songwriter Olly Murs got "naked" during his performance there. Club owner Jeremy Joseph said that that Olly "insisted getting naked during his performance". "Olly Murs got naked on stage, but it's funny because I did a bet with him that if his single went to number one, next time he performed at G-A-Y he'd have to get naked," Joseph told Digital Spy. "I made him sign a contract on stage and all that, but it was just a joke. A year later he went to number one and I didn't push it or anything, and it was him who was like, 'Oh, I suppose I should keep up my side of the bet'." Joseph added: "It's quite weird actually, because a lot more of the straight male popstars are much more at home doing that at G-A-Y than some of the gay popstars. "I find it funny that Olly was the runner-up on The X Factor to a gay popstar,
