 |
| HARD CANDY continues in the driving, club-oriented vein of 2005's CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR, proving that Madonna has lost none of her energy and verve with age. In terms of material, in fact, HARD CANDY bests its predecessor, and the artist continues to make herself relevant in the 2000s by adding distinctly hip-hop grooves to her increasingly electronica-driven sound. Remarkably, the result never sounds like a blatant commercial appeal. As with nearly everything she's done, this ... |

| Recording information: Thomas Crown, Virginia Beach, VA. "Bounce" is the keyword on SHOCK VALUE. Even when Timbaland isn't directly instructing listeners (and guest artists) to do so, it's implicit in his frantic bass-lines and hypnotic drum arrangements. As usual, the super-producer's undeniable talents behind the boards make a variety of unlikely collaborations jive perfectly. Timbaland goes from futuristic hip-pop ("Oh Timbaland," "Release," "Bounce") and dance floor R&B ("Fantasy," ... |

| On her first two albums Macy Gray proudly inherited the R&B freak flag previously flown by Betty Davis in the 1970s. Unlike Davis, however, Gray has managed to hang around after her initial goosing of the pop establishment. While it's not quite accurate to call BIG a comeback album, Gray was more often seen on the big screen than heard on the radio following 2003's THE TROUBLE WITH BEING MYSELF. And the fact that Gray called in pop music script doctor Will.i.am to produce also gives one ... |

Indeed, the rapper's seventh record finds the Long Beach, California native firing on all cylinders, with his usual slow-and-steady delivery freely flowing over tracks of all varieties. Easily ... |

| The phenomenon of legendary older musicians working with younger contemporary artists to broaden artistic and commercial possibilities had almost become its own genre by the mid-2000s. Sergio Mendes's 2006 release TIMELESS keeps that trend alive and kicking. In a full-scale collaboration with Black Eyed Peas, Mendes updates the Brazilian pop he mastered in the 1960s by infusing it with R&B and hip-hop. The synthesis should come as no surprise. Amid the reggaeton craze of the 2000s, who ... |

Recording information: The Chocolate Factory, Chicago, Il. When former Gap Band vocalist Charlie Wilson appeared on Snoop Dogg's "Signs" with Justin Timberlake, the 2004 track gave the Oklahoma native the widest exposure since his funk group's late-1970s/early-'80s glory days. In 2005, Wilson followed up on this momentum with the solo disc CHARLIE, ... |

| Recording information: 1964 - 2004. While the songs used for the actual soundtrack to Michael Moore's unprecedentedly successful anti-George W. Bush documentary FAHRENHEIT 9/11 were not all explicitly political (many were used for more strategic narrative purposes), the companion disc SONGS AND ARTISTS THAT INSPIRED FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is a different story altogether. The bulk of the songs very directly address topics central to the film (war, jingoism, political activism, et al). Thus, we ... |

| The Black Eyed Peas' fourth outing, MONKEY BUSINESS, picks up right where their platinum-selling breakout album, ELEPHUNK, left off, with the feel of a non-stop party run by an ultra-savvy DJ. "Pump It" opens the disc on a straight sample of Dick Dale's surf classic "Misirlou," as the three MCs of BEP float in and out--sometimes rapid-fire, sometimes measured--with Fergie stepping in on cue to alternately sing softly or with deep, soulful emotion. The Peas' origins are tied to the ... |
