After the sad and premature death of drummer Jon Lee (1968 – 2002) from Newport’s most famous exports,
R n B has, over the last few months, evaporated into thin air and; left in its place a stale contrived residue of its former self. Just a few months after her tragic and untimely death Virgin records release Aaliyah’s last single as a tribute to a shining star who had dominated the said subculture on both sides of the »

Brittle and nasal, he sounds like the bastard offspring of Finley Quaye and Joni Mitchell. And coincidentally he’s named a»
With all her philosophical and musical knowledge Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes opening track starts with a profound statement ‘life is like a park’. Yes Freud would have surely been bowled over by her imagination. Its hard to pinpoint just one fault on this album, simply because there are so many to choose from. Hip hop ha»
