6 music reviews

1.) Entertainment Weekly

It's utterly fresh, a pop blitz from a hip-hop blueprint, and proof that Miley won't settle for just shocking us.

2.) Expert Witness (MSN Music)

I like the feisty ones, as I generally do. But "Begin Again" and especially "Stay Stay Stay" stay happy and hit just as hard.

Girls run the world. But who runs the girls? For most of the past 10 years, the answer has been Beyoncé Knowles. In the Estrogen Era - a period in which women seized pop music's center stage - Beyoncé has been the prima donna, the diva of divas: the girl with the funkiest songs, the flashiest Bob Fosse-meets-hip-hop dance moves and, as Kanye West memorably declared, the Greatest Video of All Time.


4.) Expert Witness (MSN Music)

No matter how cleverly he's rhyming, which varies, he could use subject matter beyond married-to-the-game and his traditional obsessions. But with Shady in the shadows, rarely are these themes lifted by Em's long-recessive sense of play.

5.) Lee Brice’s album ‘Hard to Love’ feels like a half thank you note, half apology to his soon-to-be wife and their son. Not all of the 13 cuts were written by the ‘A Women Like You’ singer, but put into the context of what is going on in his life, many come across as extremely personal love letters.


6.) Hayes shows he’s a more than capable vocalist on this sincere and emotional cut from the ‘Hunter Hayes’ album. He is perhaps the most well-rounded country newcomer since the Band Perry, who posted multiple chart topping hits from their debut album.
