RIHANNA - CALIFORNIA KING BED - NEW SINGLE REVEIW

SHES BACK TO HER OLD TRICKS!!!

Thank goodness for that! iv just literally watched this performance on American Idol, and i fell in love with the song. With guitar solos to melt the heart, lyrics to make you cry, and a performace to leave you wanting more, Rihannas back on top!

After a few dodgy overly popy/dancy hits, were back to her original sort of hits...more of a beyonce and leona, but with hints of rock...i absolutely love it!!! It will be an instant hit from the first time you hear it, i can gaurantee the single will do amazingly.

The song at the start reminds me of fergie - big girls dont cry, very acoustic, very soft, and just simple lyrics, but once you get past the first verse, this massive pop rock ballad bursts out! Im in love with this song.

Listen if you like Beyonce, Fergie, Leona Lewis, Bon Jovi (Always), Taylor Swift.

Featured Artist of the Month - TIM HALPERIN

The name may sound familiar, and so it should do! Tim made it to the final 24 in American Idol by wooing J-Lo in his first audition singing Maroon 5s classic 'she will be loved.' Steve and Randy claimed it was like 'no one else was in the room,' his emotion was that powerful. Anyway after successfully getting through Hollywood to the live shows, Tims final song choice failed to impress the judges enough for them to give him a wildcard (a very bad decision if you ask me, hes much more talented than some of the others!)

Anyway, Tims been on my radar for a good year or so before now, after he started following me on twitter (god nos why), and i was intregued to see that he was a keen performer and songwriter. He has many EPs on itunes, so check them out because theyre amazing - i downloaded them all in a heartbeat! My personal favourite is 'she runs.' If you like the singer songwriter style of music, such as Gavin DeGraw, youll love Tims music also.

He has a new single out - the last song, and an album due to be released in September of this year, so watch this space!!! Its hard for me to describe his voice and style, so just search him on youtube or itunes, or listen to the video iv posted with this post...you'll become an instant fan!!!
