PRINCE: Musicology - HE'S renowned for tracks such as Purple Rain and When Doves Cry, and is a monumental force and influence in '80s popular culture.
Prince has also always prided himself on introducing new sounds and genres to his music, and juxtaposing old skool tunes with newer funky grooves. Musicology sees him uniting funk with ballads. From the upbeat chorus of signature single Musicology to the slower, and more emotional A Million Days, the songs on this album have tremendous depth, power and range. Highlights include the catchy Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance and the sexy Call My Name.
JESSICA SIMPSON: In This Skin
AMERICAN popstress Jessica Simpson, currently appearing in reality TV show Newlyweds with husband Nick Lachey, releases her third album. Co-written by Jessica, the album marks her debut as a songwriter. In This Skin may be the most personal record of Jessica's career, reflecting her new found happiness with her husband. Featuring songs like With You, Sweetest Sin and Loving You, it also includes cringe-making covers of Robbie Williams's Angels and Berlin's Take My Breath Away.
THE UNCLE DEVIL SHOW: A Terrible Beauty
GLASWEGIAN rock trio, The Uncle Devil Show, was started as a side project for Del Amitri frontman Justin Currie. Comprising of Langton Herring on vocals, Jason Barr on bass and Terrence on drums, they look quite wacky and off-beat. On the album, you'll find good old-fashioned music -- the type your parents used to listen to. With kooky titles such as She Cuts Her Own Fringe and Sidelong Glances Of A Pigeon Kicker, don't take this band too seriously -- just listen to their music.
