I'm Not Dead
: :\N :Some music is celebrated for its elegant subtlety; Pink's slams you over the head. Four albums in, she's not changing her formula. I'm Not Dead touches on bulimia ('Stupid Girls'), war-mongering politicians ('Dear Mr. President'), teen angst ('Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self,' 'Runaway'), overheated pickup artists ('U + Ur Hand'), and gross materialism ('I Got Money Now'). None of it, in other words, is for featherweight listeners. Then again, none of it suits eggheaded college tastemakers ...

Love & Life
: :Eric Benet has recaptured the essence of his roots as he journeyed back to Milwaukee on his fourth solo effort, Love & Life, a strong, good-feeling record reminiscent of yesteryears when R&B was rooted in gospel, a dash of jazz and the feeling of social awareness. This album reflects a journey that magnifies the abundance of familiar experiences both personal and social that transpires, represents sheer honesty, allowing you to discover truth, and be moved and connected by music.

The Best of Sade
: :With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of 'Smooth Operator' and the sultry stylization of 'Your Love Is King.' Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting 'Jezebel,' on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade ...
