When EPMD finally unravelled after months of rumors and internal turmoil, Erick Sermon wasted no time grabbing the mike. He's quite obsessed with proving he can cut it alone, although his self-titled debut didn't move far from EPMD's trademarks: fat, crunching basslines, neatly inserted samples lifted mainly from Zapp, tight vocal edits, and Sermon's mush-mouthed, deadpan raps. His targets included condoms, sexual warfare, hip-hop groupies, and would-be rap challengers. While this contains the obligatory "bitches" and "niggas" references, there's not as much gun worship as you might expect. No Pressure is as much, if not more, EPMD's final release as Erick Sermon's debut. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

I'm Yours Jason Mraz |
| In a market where only grown-ups are still buying records, the supply of acts to cater for their tastes seems to be endless. From Mechanicsville, Virginia comes the latest US star ready to join the Didos and James Blunts of this world, feeding the global appetite for mindless escapism, Jason Mraz. "I'm yours" is a blander than a marshmallow slice of reggae-tinged pop, with a chilled holiday vibe attached to it. It had been part of the singer's live shows for quite a while, but wasn't released in a record until this year, hitting the Billboard Top 3 last summer and becoming his biggest hit to date, while dragging quite a few comparisons with US' favourite pop surfer Jack Johnson in the meantime. Included in Mraz's third album "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things", a work described by the singer as inspired by "moments of self realization, self empowerment and self improvement". Could this be the musical equivalent to a self-help manual, then? ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited. All rights reserved. | |
