For your Valentine - Franz Ferdinand's Rock/Pop/Alternative sound is sure to please anyone who is a fan of: The Killers, Kings of Leon, TV on the Radio, Snow Patrol or GlasVegas.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Customer Review:
Their Best Album Yet. More new wave sounding, more synths, more melodic, sexy - their best album yet, beating the second album by miles.
The spark to a revolutionary slew in British and American guitar-based rockers and the blueprint to that retro sound that tore up charts in 2004, Scottish foursome Franz Ferdinand always towered above many of their peers with their concise blasts of tuneful guitar hooks, dance rhythms, and singer Alex Kapranos' wry, irrepressibly clever lyrics. Franz Ferdinand's third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, has been three years in the making, and longtime fans expecting a return to the angular post-punk guitar ricochets of You Could Have It So Much Better and their self-titled debut will be more than a little disappointed with this latest outing. Kapranos himself has stated that Tonight was to be "quite new . . . quite different sounding from everything we've ever done before." This is undoubtedly true, but for all the benefits of evolving, not everything on Tonight is up to the standard of the band's seminal earlier work.

Blender s cover story stated Mariah, Leona Lewis is Pops Next Megastar and Vibe describes her as a balladeer with grace, vivacity, and dignity...with a strong lithe tone that could peel paint!

While previously known more for his compositions for the trendsetting world music group Ancient Future, this first solo effort features his improvisational music.
As leader of the world music group Ancient Future, Matthew Montfort has devoted himself to the scalloped fretboard guitar since 1978. He spent years of study with some of the world’s best musicians, such as gamelan director K.R.T. Wasitodipuro, North Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan, and vina master K.S. Subramanian, with whom he did an intensive study of South Indian note-bending techniques. He has performed concerts worldwide, from the Festival Internacional de la Guitarra on the golden coast of Spain to the Festival of India in Mumbai. He has worked with many world music legends, including tabla phenomenon Zakir Hussain and Chinese zither master Zhao Hui. Montfort wrote the book “Ancient Traditions – Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali, and India,” which has been used by many musicians to improve their rhythm skills.

Bobby Valentino's new CD "The Rebirth" comes out just in time for Valentine's Day on February 10th. It is the perfect Valentine's gift for anyone who loves R&B, Soul or Pop; or is a fan of Ne-Yo, The Dream, Jamie Foxx, Usher or Chris Brown. I recommend it for just about anyone between 16-35, male or female.
Hey, here's some trivia - Bobby's nickname "Valentino" came as result of the date he was expected to be born - Valentine's Day (although he was late!)
