Sound check Modern mixNew releases cover a broad spectrum Momokomotion
The album kicks off with the single �Toy,� which would make a great party track. The next song, �Ask for the Moon� is one of the best on the album, with a beautiful melody and great lyrics to match. Other highlights include �Punk in a Coma,� which features some nice dirty guitar from Momoko. �Saturday Night� has enough catchy hooks to become an underground pop classic, while �All Apologies� is a cool cover of the Nirvana song, translated into Japanese and given an experimental pop treatment reminiscent of Buffalo Daughter. The last couple of tracks, including the single �Beautiful World,� change the pace nicely with some guitar-driven indie pop. At 10 tracks, plus a bonus bedroom demo, Punk in a Coma is just the right length to hold your interest all the way through. It has a nice mix of electronic and live instrumentation to back Momoko�s distinctive voice, and great lyrics throughout. The CD cover stands out with original artwork by Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. Punk in a Coma would be perfect for your next party, and it also makes for great listening on its own. � BE Various Artists
One of the best tracks on the record is �Sai Lom (Wind),� sung by Jennifer Kim. Her delicate voice expresses the romantic atmosphere of the song well. Another highlight is �Tang Tang Tee Roo (Already Know),� an R&B ballad from Acappella 7 that uses a nice combination of piano, flute and harp. Ford�s hip-hop track �Boxer� contains a rap that Ford improvised himself. This track varies the albums formula nicely. If you like relaxing, easy listening love songs, then you�re bound to dig this record. All the tracks are presented with a nice mix of musical sounds. � VH Various Artists
Worldwide hits such as �Clumsy� by Fergie, �Ayo Technology� by 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake, and �Umbrella� by Rihanna and Jay-Z are featured. All of these artists are well known and their hits continue to inspire many new artists. Bling presents the songs in a well-chosen order, mixing old and new hits so that the listener can hear how hip- hop and R&B have developed in the US over the past few years. The best tracks on Bling are probably the most famous ones, but some of the lesser-known artists are bound to become very popular, judging by the songs featured here. The way this album alternates hip-hop with R&B works well and makes for a fun listening experience. � RS
