Cool and collected Alicia Keys was just 20 years old when she stepped onto the scene with her startling debut album: Songs in A Minor. With a sophisticated blend of gentle musicianship and defiant dignity, she span the gorgeous ballad Fallin’ out of the Moonlight Sonata, plunging those 1801 ivories confidently into tough 2001 beats. She’s since been consistent releasing some of the greatest hits of our time.
In the three years since 2009′s “The Element of Freedom,” Mrs. Alicia Keys has gotten married, had a baby and collaborated with some of the most iconic recording artist on the scene today.
“Girl on Fire” is her fifth Album and is arguably the most consistent CD to date. It’s also the best song to ever sample Billy Squier(The Big Beat).
Girl On Fire” explores love past and present with a triumphant mood that prevails throughout. It’s equally concerned with settling the score with a few past flames as it is with celebrating her wedded bliss with her husband, Swizz Beatz.
In its various bouts of independence-declaring and hater-berating (pop divas, like warlords and movie moguls, apparently have many enemies), “Girl on Fire” suggests a slightly more self-aware version of Christina Aguilera’s “Lotus.” “Thought that you’d be happy / I found the one thing I need,” Keys trills on “Brand New Me,” co-written with singer Emeli Sande, the Alicia Keys of British People, before asking, “Why you mad?” Ha ha ha!
Who could be upset? “Girl” sands down the edges of Keys’s nobility, but even at its most venomous, it doesn’t bite — it nibbles like an angry kitten. Its real pleasures lie in its subtle updating of her familiar, diaristic piano ballads, its incorporation of vaguely modern beats (like the woozy “When It’s All Over,” with nonspecific chill-out tent noises courtesy of Jamie xx), and distinctive, martial percussion. But “Girl” can’t perform miracles, and it may have erred in placing Keys, Version 2.0, in the proximity of the perpetually smoldering R&B star Maxwell. He sets the otherwise mild bedroom jam “Fire We Make” ablaze just by showing up.Keys is at her best on “Tears Always Win,” a ’60s-style soul ballad wrenching in its simplicity, that encapsulates everything she does well in less than four minutes. She brings her past influences into the present, twisting it into something new, singing it dramatically without going over-the-top.
Girl on Fire” feels organically fed with inspiration, this girl is on fire, and definitely here for the long run.
The single is produced by Paul Patterson (BlueWolf) of Wolf Entertainment and is confirmed as one of the new materials for Anthoni’s upcoming album.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EPR (Press Release) – Nov 03, 2012 -Rahn Anthonicontinues to roll out fresh music ahead of his new album release. After releasing a potential club banger “Give Me Tonight”, Anthoni unveils a new sexy single called “Home Tonight,” featuring up and coming Atlanta rapper Picasso. Hellmut Wolf aka The Wolfman brings the song alive on the saxophone and Sean O’Bryan Smith takes the Bass to new heights, rounding up with Ronny Rather’s performance on the guitar,which is simply exquisite.
“Let’s stay home tonight…let’s get this fire burning….let’s keep this fire burning,” he sings over the midtempo beat.
“This song is what we call a “Babymaker” in Australia. We envisage thousands of lovers hanging out together listening to the wonderful voice of Rahn Anthoni, instead of going out to town to party,” says Hellmut Wolf, director of Wolf Entertainment.
Over the weekend, Anthoni premiered his single on Carla B.’s E! Buzz Talk Show via the EOTM Radio Network. He explained to EOTM about how the idea came about, “I felt like the natural elements as well as the emotion of ‘The Wolfman’ would definitely speak volumes and be an inspiration of sorts… to the grown and sexy.”
He continued, “When we began to explore different directions [for the new album] we were like maybe we use some of their [Wolf Ent] music, maybe we use some of mine … and before you knew it the idea came together. We tried it…the sound was exactly how we envisioned it…and it worked.”
Of the album itself, he said, “This album has many different views and many different perspectives.” He added, “It’s a ton of other experiences and a ton of other walks … as I’ve had this long journey over the last year [and] every bit of what I’ve experienced I’ve put into a creative, artistic way.”
The single is now available on iTunes and is quickly climbing the charts of love.
Sounding like the opening notes of Cream’s White Room if it were played at the Gates of Mars, Garbage’s first album in seven years Not Your Kind of People that dropped today, proves these ‘90s sonic trailblazers are still going to stay one step ahead of the tired noise that presently passes for music on modern rock radio.

The opening track is Automatic Systematic Habit, that after it winds up releases into a propulsive electro clash pump, one that will have new listeners pogoing their dormitory rooms, and vets like myself knowing it was well worth the wait. Red headed Irish dream Shirley Manson’s voice is electronically distorted like she is a terminator out of the Fox TV series she acted in, while the band rested from their touring burnout from their 2006 effort “Bleed Like Me.” But, her sure fire Scottish gusto still pushes through the production, tearing into our ears and into our libidos.
“I won’t be your dirty little secret,” she proclaims, almost making a statement about how Garbage has never been appreciated. Their 1997 effort Version 2.0 debuted with the aptly titled single Push It, solidifying them as rock critic darlings. It was their fully erect cock, their fully extended middle finger to traditional alternative radio. Powered by the producing and percussion genius of Butch Vig, who was behind Nirvana’s Never mind, everyone knew it was going to be an impossible album to beat.
Thusly, the next five years or so mainstream radio wasn’t kind to Garbage. With the narrow-minded programmers wanting only sure-fire hits, their experimental next few treks were only appreciated by their fervent fan base, which I am proud to be a fan of.
I will be brutally honest about their recent album, though, that it is far from one of their best effort. Many of the middle tracks on the album, like the title track and Control both sound like strippers dream dance songs in lyrics and pace, getting a little too bogged down in the lyrics, distortion and melodrama. They are more like good cruising songs for coming home from the bar to, at the crack of dawn while watching the sun come up. But, make no mistake this is a solid B- effort by Garbage, which, in the world of other bands is a solid A-.
This album reminds me of The Killers last effort Day & Age, whom after putting out their mega-seller Sam’s Town had nothing to lose. There is peppering of the ‘80s in this stew, as there was in that effort. Some of the electronic twangs will make you nostalgic. But there is a futuristic vibe as well. It also doesn’t hurt that Vig was keeping fresh producing Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown that won a Best Rock Album Grammy.
I Hate Love’s hypnotic dance beat sounds like it is from a nightclub on the spaceship taking off at the end of the world. It will jettison you across your living room, since close-minded club DJ’s will probably not be caught dead playing the track at a club near you. Hopefully I am wrong. Again Manson declares from the bottom of her dark heart, pulling no punches with her lyrics, “Love makes you desperate, and feeling a fool. Love makes you ruthless, and love makes you cruel. And love makes you crazy, with nothing but lies. Love promises nothing, and then your love dies.”
There were two tracks that were spilled onstage by the band on their first tour dates at the El Rey in Hollywood, and at many music fests across the country over the last month before the album’s release. Battle in Me and Man on a Wire, both in title and content are machine gun drills to the mosh pit. Fogies like me will even be out there fighting for position when Duke Erickson and Steve Marker shoot out these hooks you will be humming for the next few weeks of your life.
The coda is Beloved Freak, a testament to a band that now has no formal record deal, and is smartly putting out their album independently. Pick it up online right now. The lush last track sends you off into a satisfying musical afterlife of affirmation. “Where we’re going we’ll remain. When we’re gone we’ll remain…This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine…So you stand beloved freak, and the world is lying at your feet. Let it shine.” Amen, Garbage, my beloved freaks. Forever shine more than the others.

Steven Knight’s “Forever” flaunts success and sensitivity. The uniqueness in Knight’s voice is carried over to perfection. His vocal range is amazing and speaks volumes to R&B fans. Knight is technically a superb singer, packing sleek, snappy singles with dozens of great punch lines. (“Together we can do anything, so eternal feels like infinity…baby I run till the end of time….”)
Forever is a good start of “A Day In The Knight,” we can only imagine what the full album may bring.
