Summary: Back in '06 when Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta didn't go by the stage name of 'Lady GaGa,' she released an EP called Red and Blue to show off her music writing and vocal talents. The EP itself isn't all that well known (to my knowledge), but here it is to share with you~ Also, don't forget to check the tags for other Lady GaGa stuff I've uploaded since... I've uploaded a lot lately. :D;;;

Artist: Alyson Avenue
** Discography **
Language: English
Genre: rock, metal
Presence of Mind [2000]
Omega [2004]
Summary: First of all: I don't want drama on this post. That said, Alyson Avenue was the previous band for Anette Olzon/Anette Blyckert, the current vocalist for Nightwish. Anyway, Alyson Avenue's from Sweden and has only released two albums, uploaded here for you guys to snag. ^^b Tarja-vs-Anette drama aside, Anette has a really pretty voice and she's definitely worth a try. Here are some songs to listen to via YouTube: When Dreams Fall Apart, Perfect Love, I Still Believe, I Have Been Waiting, Do You Ever Miss My Passion?.

Summary: ...erm. First of all, I can definitely say that this isn't at all like "Scandal", so don't be expecting that with this single. XD;; Vanness Wu has changed his Taiwanese/Korean music style a lot for the Japanese audience. "ONLY" is something that I can picture one of my *coughs*many*coughs* boy bands to sing, and while "Cinderella" has more of a hip hop feel, it's still not up to his usual... hip hop-y-ness. (Yes, I can totally make that into a word. >>;;) It's an all right debut for him in the Japanese market, but it's a little disappointing after seeing what else he's capable of doing. Hopefully a second single will be better.

Summary: Latest (...I think? Sometimes it's so hard to keep up with everyone... XD;;) single from SuJu. ♥ I won't spend a lot of time on this review, but only because I really like this release. "It's You" is really interesting to listen to: I love the changes of styles and how everything (rhythm, lead, etc.) switches on a very regular basis. SuuuuJuuuuuu. ♥♥

Artist: Ministry of Magic
Song: Apologize (ONE REPUBLIC w/ Timbaland cover)
Language: English
Release Date: unknown
Genre: pop, wizard rock
01. Apologize [YouTube]
download.
Summary: So some of you might remember one of my first uploads: Draco and the Malfoys. XD Anyway, so the genre is wizard rock and it's exactly that--people coming together to make music about Harry Potter. One of my favorite groups for this genre is Ministry of Magic. I really like them. They're definitely one of the better wizard rock bands out there, and their style is actuall more synthpop and powerpop than rock. I linked to their Myspace page where you can listen to some of their songs. (Yes, that was totally a pointed comment. ♥)
