Okay, so the first single of Lady Gaga’s highly-hyped third album is out and many people are unhappy with it. Many say that is sounds too close to “Express Yourself” by Madonna and we can see the resemblance in chord progression, but that’s not enough to say she copied it. Nonetheless, Gaga said before that she is heading to a rockier route and this is a pretty heavy song. The lyrics are lackluster, but it could (and probably will) grow by the time it hits radio hard. Cover versions are already flowing in. But, the true catch in Gaga’s music is the visual accompaniment and that has yet to surface, much like the fact that Britney Spears‘ “Hold It Against Me” will go better with a video. So, hold on to your Gaga complaints and wait for the music video, which will probably titillate or even invigorate.

Sexy Track: “Limit To Your Love” by James Blake
2James Blake’s first single from his debut album “Limit To Your Love” had him acclaimed as a pioneer of dub. However, this track showcases more than just that. This song is not only progressive in arrangement, but also oozes emotion-invoking minimalism. It sounds like a ballad from the future. It’s as if James Blake sat down and took heavy notes from Bjork’s “Hyperballad” and stripped its essentials back to the root of the feelings. This song is a lovely and unexpected tidbit of the future that closes off 2010 very nicely.

Sexy Track: “When Christmas Comes” by Mariah Carey
3When we first heard that Mariah Carey was doing a Christmas album we cringed, why? We had never heard of a sophomore Christmas album by a pop artist to do well. What we forgot is Mariah Carey is probably the best artist on earth today to cater to that seasonal niche. Merry Christmas II You delivered strong vocals and festive numbers. The strongest of which is not a folkloric covers, but a song she wrote herself specifically for this album. “When Christmas Comes” follows in the same soul sub-genre of a little-known track Mariah did for her Charmbracelet album titled “Subtle Invitation,” which was also a standout. It fuses elements of soul, gospel, pop and balladry into one, making for a confection that only Mariah could come up with – perfect.
