Kylie Minogue The Abbey Road Sessions Album Review



Kylie Minogue has been celebrating 25 years in the music industry throughout 2012.  Her lasted album was recorded in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie’s band and an orchestra.  The Abbey Road Sessions album features Kylie’s best-known hits reworked and some previously unreleased tracks. The latest single “Flower” is a song she wrote to the child she wishes she might one day still have after her battle with breast cancer. This week Kylie appeared on Dancing with the Stars and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno where she preformed The Locomotion

I really enjoyed the toned down less pop versions of Kylie's songs.  This is a beautiful mellow album that is great to listen to after a long day.  Kylie's soothing voice helped me to relax and take a break form the stress of life.  My favorite track was Flower.  It is such a beautiful song with a great message.  The Locomotion was my least favorite even though it is a fun song.  It just seemed a little weird for the album.

The Abbey Road Sessions album is available to purchase now on iTunes and at Amazon.The official hashtag for the album is #AbbeyRoadSessions.

Chris Mann Roads Album Review


Chris Mann is a talented singer/songwriter that appeared on The Voice this past spring.  He was able to make it to the finals of the show on team Christina.  Roads is his first major label album.  Roads is an eclectic mix of covers but also includes two songs that Chris cowrote: Cuore and Falling (which is my favorite).  He is a classically trained artist bringing his talent to classically based pop music.  And as we are entering the holiday season you can find Chris Mann's holiday album Home for Christmas at Walmart.

I enjoyed Chris Mann's take on other peoples songs but would really like to hear more of his original music.  He has a great tone to his voice and you can really hear his classical training.  I look forward to seeing what he does next and hope there are more songs like Falling coming soon.
