We Love Disney Album CD Review - Releases 10/30

We are huge Disney fans in our family. I remember lots of road trips that involved listening to The Lion King soundtrack for hours as well as some Disney CDs of all our favorites. Now, Disney has brought together some amazing artists for their new compilation We Love Disney which is being released on 10/30.

Artists like Gwen Stefani, Jason Derulo, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, NE-YO, and even Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars fame. Did you know she's also a singer? She sings Let It Go with Rascal Flatts.

I had the opportunity to preview this CD and it is amazing! Any Disney fan will fall in love with this CD. You'll find new versions of songs like "Part of Your World," "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," "A Friend in Me," and even "A Spoonful of Sugar." And where else are you going to find Gwen Stefani singing "The Rainbow Collection?"

Here's a complete list of the songs and artists:

1. NE-YO Friend Like Me (Aladdin)

2. Jessie J Part of Your World (The Little Mermaid)

3. Jason Derulo Can You Feel the Love Tonight / Nants Ingonyama (The Lion King)

4. Gwen Stefani The Rainbow Connection (The Muppet Movie)

5. Ariana Grande Zero To Hero (Hercules)

6. Jhené Aiko In a World of My Own/Very Good Advice (Alice in Wonderland)

7. Fall Out Boy I Wan na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) (The Jungle Book)

8. Tori Kelly Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas)

9. Kacey Musgraves A Spoonful of Sugar (Mary Poppins)

10. Charles Perry Ev rybody Wants To Be a Cat (The Aristocats)

11. Jessie Ware A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes (Cinderella)

12. Lucy Hale & Rascal Flatts Let It Go (Frozen)

13. Various Artists It s a Small World

14. Brenna Whitaker It s Not Easy Being Green (The Muppet Show)

15. Yuna A Whole New World (Aladdin)

These are new versions of the songs with the artist's own twists. I'm having a really hard time picking my favorite, but I think "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" has to rank right up there, as does "A Friend in Me."

 

You can download your own copy on iTunes or Amazon.

New Music: Madonna #RebelHeart #One2One

I participated in the Madonna Rebel Heart album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own.

Anyone who knows me knows I am a major Madonna fan. I've been a fan since "Lucky Star" and "Borderline." I remember watching her perform "Like a Virgin" on the MTV Awards while talking to my BFF on the phone and we both gasped and said "Did she just sing THAT on TV?" I literally played "Material Girl" so many times that my cassette tape broke.

Oops, did I just date myself?

Anyway, the point is, Madonna is one of the few artists out there with this insane ability to keep herself relevant and reinvent herself over and over. She's still proving that in 2015 as much as she was in 1985! Her new album, Rebel Heart, is amazing!

I'm listening to it right now--actually, I haven't been able to stop listening to it since I downloaded it earlier. I'm having a hard time picking a favorite, but "Living for Love" has to be right up there. It's catchy and one of those songs you just want to sing along with -- at least I do.You probably saw her perform that one at the Grammys.  "

Joan of Arc" is another I really like as well as "Body Shop."  You'll even hear a throwback to "Vogue" on "Holy Water." 

Madonna fans will love this new album. It has some catchy songs that will stick with you, but of course you know there are a few tracks that will push the limits. After all, it is Madonna. The new album features collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Mike Tyson and more, so there's a ton of variety to the songs.

If you've been waiting for something new from Madonna(or even if you haven't) you can download Rebel Heart on iTunes!

*Please be aware that this album does contain some strong language as well as references to drugs and sex. Of course, you probably didn't need to hear that from me though because you know what to expect from Madonna.

Court Yard Hounds New CD Amelita

 I've been a huge fan of The Dixie Chicks forever, so when I had the opportunity to get a copy of the new CD from The Court Yard Hounds to review, I was thrilled! Martie Maquire and Emily Robison have truly spread their wings with Amelita. I can't seem to stop playing this CD! It's amazing.

How did the Court Yard Hounds evolve?

• After a few years away from the limelight and the Dixie Chicks, the two sisters were ready to get back into the studio with the creation of Court Yard Hounds. Amelita, out now, marks the Court Yard Hounds' second album.
• "I love this band...the way we explore new aspects of ourselves and what we can expect from each other, both musically and as people," says Martie. "We are close. Plus, being on the road and being in the studio is like my spa from the everyday challenges of just being a mom.”
• The Court Yard Hounds’ new album is a clear statement of who the girls are as artists, defining their sound as a band, with soaring songs that are personal, yet familiar and widely relatable.

I'll be honest. I expected it to have a more bluegrass/traditional country sound to it because I know Martie & Emily have a strong bluegrass background, but surprisingly, the album is a nice blend of country/pop. Some songs like "Sunshine" definitely lean more towards pop, while songs like "Phoebe" and "Gets You Down" definitely have a more country feel. I think fans of both genres would enjoy this CD. Obviously, their sound has evolved with the changes in their lives.

As I listen to this album over and over, I'm having trouble finding a song I don't really like. I like them all, but of course some more than others. Some of the lyrics are hard to get out of your head, like "Sunshine," the first track on the CD. It's a catchy tune with catchy lyrics that stay with you. And, of course, we've all known a few "Sunshines" in our own lives!

I can't wait to see what The Court Yard Hounds do next!

You can preview and buy your own copy from Amazon or iTunes and I strongly suggest you do it! I don't think you'll be sorry.

Rod Stewart "Time" Review - It's Great!

I was absolutely thrilled to receive a copy of Rod Stewart's brand new CD to review. I grew up listening to Rod and after listening to even just a few tracks on "Time," I think you'll agree that he's still got it! His voice is the same I remember and as I sat here listening, I just kept thinking "My sister is going to be SO jealous!"  She is a HUGE Rod Stewart fan and yes, I'll be a good sister and share the CD with her or maybe just buy her one of her own!

Time is Rod's first album of new material in almost 20 years, but as you can see from the cover, his hairstyle hasn't changed a bit. Neither has his voice as far as I'm concerned. You'll his hears return to his songwriting roots in twelve brand new tracks--11 of which he wrote and produced.  I've listened to the CD a few times now and there's a nice mix of songs--upbeat songs, love songs and more--but my favorite at the moment is the very first song on the CD, "She Makes Me Happy." Check out the video below:

I always wonder how artists come up with their inspirations for their work. Here's what Rod had to say about Time:

"Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head," he says. "Next thing I knew, I had a song called 'It's Over' about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I finished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn't done, and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record."

Oh, to be that inspired!

You can pick up your own copy of Time on May 7th at Amazon or iTunes.

The great news doesn't stop there! You're going to be able to SEE Rod in concert! He's set to embark on the European leg of his Live the Life tour on June 1st, while American dates with Steve Winwood will kick off October 17th.

If you want more info on Rod, you can follow him on Twitter! I'm sure he'll be posting tour info and details!
