The Right Side Won - Various - Club Arcade 2 - Reggae Dance (CD)

Elvis and Boyle are backed by a children's choir that seems out of place with Elvis' tone. It screams of a misguided, desperate marketing grab run amok. Boyle deserves better. She deserves to have songs that are her own so she can create her own image and her own legacy. To stick her with Christmas Album Formula 3 is a waste of her talent. But the people behind her don't seem to care about career development.

The focus is firmly based on moving units during the year's busiest shopping season. The truth is, they should have teams writing a complete album of originals for Boyle, and maybe switch it up a little. Maybe aim for Mother's Day the next time around. When this album succeeds, it is because of Boyle's voice, but ultimately it comes off as her version of a Christmas album you have heard many times before, by many artists over the last 70 years -- stale on arrival.

Yes, sure, she tackles standards, too, like "White Christmas," and "My Favorite Things," but she does so with a unique touch. But this collection also has its share of originals, like the title track and "Underneath The Tree," both of which recall the past, without repeating it, while at the same time serving Clarkson's unique image well.

And then there are some expertly picked, unique choices thrown into the mix, like a cover of Imogen Heap's "Just For Now" from her album "Speak For Yourself. Such an inspired choice earns her some bonus points. Yes, her version of the Chuck Berry-popularized "Run, Run Rudolph" boasts some pretty cheesy guitar work, but this collection suits her and shows some versatility.

Like Susan Boyle's "Home For Christmas," this has its cookie-cutter cash-grab moments, and most holiday albums come off as a bit recycled in nature. At least Clarkson here has taken the formula and added a few unique touches. The few surprises make the disc that much more of a satisfying listen. It wasn't.

But, if you'll pardon the pun, as an album "Nocturnal" is much more awake and vibrant than its predecessor, allowing the singer to showcase a brighter personality. And while last year's record may have been a satisfactory establishment of Yuna's abilities as a singer and a performer, "Nocturnal" takes more risks and goes for the gold. If you are unfamiliar with Yuna, she's an electro-pop singer in the vein of Kate Havnevik or Imogen Heap, only she's got an understated, sophisticated quality all her own.

Her music is full of international flourishes and unusual instrumentation. The album was recorded and mixed in various places around the world, although mostly in the U. Staying Alive Written-By — B.

The movie "The Harder They Come," about a young man trying to make it big as a reggae singer, had a strong reggae soundtrack. It starred reggae star and pioneer Jimmy Cliff and helped make reggae music known and respected worldwide. In , the chart-topping song "Hold Me Tight" by Johnny Nash is considered to be the first song to bring reggae music into the mainstream.

Slowly, reggae music began to be incorporated into rock music, and a prime example of this is "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" by The Beatles, which was released in
