About Emma Roberts
Young actress/singer Emma Roberts is best known for her starring role on the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous, on which she plays Addie Singer, a girl whose songs help her navigate the rough waters of adolescence. The daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of Juila Roberts, Emma got one of her big breaks appearing as an extra in one of her aunt's movies when she was eight. Emma's mother encouraged her to take guitar lessons, which she initially resisted; however, her strumming skills came in handy when she was cast in Unfabulous. In 2005, Roberts released her debut album, Unfabulous and More, which featured songs from and inspired by the show. Along with the second season of Unfabulous, her other projects included a Nancy Drew movie and the feature films Aquamarine and Bras and Broomsticks. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Dear Science TV On The Radio |
| On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. . | |
