NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 40 - Various
The new installment of
the Now series contains 21 tracks. There's Gwen Stefani's
Fiddler On The Roof rip-off, Akon's
monotonous lamentation, Backstreet Boys'
unconvincing passionate plea, Black Eyed Peas'
nasal pun and Coldplay rocking
safely. Bodyrockers get cheesy,
Mariah Carrey doesn't want
to age, youngster Mario uses
all the cliché tactics to get in your pants and matured Natalie
Imbruglia comes across as one of the few honest tracks
on this compilation. Will Smith
goes through the prerequisite motions to have you part with your cash while Blue
and Lil' Kim rip the classic
Get Down On It. Avril Lavigne
is Falling to Pieces while Gorillaz
offers an ambivalent Feel Good Inc. Maroon 5
Must Get Out - they said it. Lebo
struts her stuff and Usher
is Caught Up. Kylie
offers nothing new. West Life
is still going and Jay Sean
wants to impress badly. Freshlyground
taps into the catchy lyric-free chourus technique while Nelly
and Tim McGraw try to bring
R&B and Country together. All in all a varied slice of the current state of radio
music.
