After 1984's Vital Signs netted Survivor three Top 20 singles, the bandmembers knew that they would have to come up with something of equal or greater value upon their next release. Released in 1986, When Seconds Count gave the group its last Top 40 hit with the synth-driven "Is This Love" in November of that year. Only Jimi Jamison, Frankie Sullivan, and Jim Peterik made up the band at this point, and a handful of session musicians were hired in order to complete the album. The result was a harder, more streamlined approach to their music, shedding Survivor of their past pop/rock sound for the most part. Other than "Is This Love," cuts like "Man Against the World" and "How Much Love" sound the firmest, with the band focusing more on melody and on appealing song structures. Although Survivor opted for the more aggressive pop/rock avenue, the material on When Seconds Count doesn't exactly comply with the group's chosen formula, unlike the smoother-sounding Vital Signs or even 1983's Caught in the Game. The better tracks on When Seconds Count can be heard on Survivor hits packages. ~ Mike DeGagne, All Music Guide

Knock You Down Keri Hilson Feat. KanYe West & Ne-Yo |
||
|
With three singles still riding high in the charts Keri Hilson continued her assent to R&B's A-list with the releases of the KanYe West produced 'Knock You Down' in 2009. All though she had already gained a great deal of internet hype through her collaborations with Lil Wayne and Timbaland throughout the year, Keri Hilson was holding the biggest aces up her sleeve with not one, but two huge stars collaborating on 'Knock You Down'. (Namely KanYe West and Ne-Yo). The fourth single taken from the much delayed 'In A Perfect World' album, the mid tempo single tells the tale of a musical love triangle between the urban stars featured on the track. Although electro tinged, 'Knock You Down' conveys enough emotion to show off both Hilson's vocal skills and KanYe West's considerable talent behind the mixing desk.~Roberto González~ Copyright (c) Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.
