The Single Life: September 18, 2007...
Hey guys, I had "retired" the single file for a while since I was so hectic, but it's back. Woohoo!
I Nine - "Seven Days Of Lonely" - This South Carolina band is a low-tier rock band straddling between the sing-song juvenality of Avril Lavigne to the female-led pop-rock of Sixpence None The Richer. Pleasant jangle of 90's pop-rock, though not earthshattering to bring across-the-board success. Grade: B-
Flyleaf - "All Around Me" Now Evanescence has a full-fledged Christian-rock clone. Hailing from Texas, this track comes of their already almost two-year old album. Not as lyrically and musically complex as Amy Lee et al, it tries a little hard to push the right alt-buttons. Grade: C
Trisha Yearwood - "Heaven Heartache & The Power Of Love" An awesome return for Yearwood, who puts through a much looser and enjoyable track than the serious return for husband Garth. Clearly a woman putting music out for her standards, and not country radio. Grade: B+
Gary Allan - "Watching Airplanes" Gary's been hit-and-miss, but this song is straightfoward enough to not be the schlock he had veered towards...Grade: B-
Billie Holiday - "But Beautiful" (Tony Humphries THP Remix) Interesting music track, but incongruous to the sultry Holiday track it accompanies. Very odd, I'm glad Holiday can be on any chart, but I'm not totally sold on it as yet. Grade: C+
