Ginuwine Life Pop Music CD Review
Talented Pop artist Ginuwine has released him most recent CD on the 550 Music recording label, entitled Life.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Life. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Life is a pleasantly varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
I’m of the opinion that Life is certainly Ginuwine’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Pop fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 6 – Tribute To A Woman, track 10 – Show After The Show, and track 15 – Just Because
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Why Not Me. Great track!

Collin Raye in This Life Pop Music CD Review
The exceptionally talented Pop artist Collin Raye has released him CD entitled In This Life. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Collin Raye fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of In This Life Collin Raye’s artistic excellence is on full display as Raye has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
In This Life kicks off with an outstanding track, What They Don’t Know, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It’s a really nice track.
Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Raye on several of the tracks. Artists like Garth Fundis and John Hobbs just to name a couple.
Listen to and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Collin Raye is clearly in top form.
While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 – Somebody Else’s Moon, track 8 – Latter Day Cowboy, and track 10 – Let It Be Me.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – What They Don’t Know. Great track!
