Thicke
— “A Beautiful World”
 Robin
Thicke’s name describes his music; thick,
warm, and full of soul. Thicke’s album “A
Beautiful World,” combines upbeat, disco-like
tunes that make those who listen want to
stand and shake it, while he also talks
about the incredible tragedies of the world
in a meaningful ballad format.
His music makes a listener feel good. Thicke
has been described as the modern Stevie
Wonder, but he also has a bit of Lenny Kravitz’s
sound to make him a little rock and a lot
hip.
There is a new wave of music and Thicke
is riding in, creating sounds that are touching
and words that do more than just fill space
—but they speak to people.
Throughout the album, Thicke talks about
needing a reason to smile today, with all
the people who are pregnant and under paid.
Amen, Thicke, you are right on.
This is not just music to cruise to. Thicke
can be heard when lots of healing is needed,
because his music comes from, and touches
the heart. Talk about having variety! This
album has acoustic Latin flare, Jackson
Five dance beats and Kravitz rock love songs.
Thicke says he started to listen gospel
at a young age, that lead to R&B, and
rock and roll, which explains the great
diversity in his music.
In album, “A Beautiful World,” Thicke manages
to capture the deep roots of the legendary
musicians of his past while he surges forward
with his own stellar sound. Do not miss
this one.

Bedingfield — “Gotta Get Through This”
 Move
over Justin Timberlake, and welcome a new
musician — one with the same cheesy, ridiculous
sound.
This music serves one purpose, to pad an
evening of drinking and club hopping with
a few dance beats. It is difficult to listen
to his love pangs with a synthesizer as
his instrumental drive.
Bedingfield is a 22-year-old artist that
sounds like is trying to mass produce a
bubble gum pop sound that is already on
it’s way out. One accomplishment he claims
is that he produced most of the album in
his bedroom.
What he discovers is that love is difficult
to get through, just like this album.
Anybody can put a couple of tracks down
on a computer, but then the musical talent
does not to seep through in the lyrics and
the composure.
There is no point in listening to the music
rejects like Bedingfield.
