Single reviews: Adele, Jeremih, The Decemberists ARTIST: SYLVIA TOSUN SINGLE: ABOVE ALL NEW YORK (Billboard) – There aren’t many Juilliard-trained sopranos releasing dance records, and Sylvia Tosun’s “Above All” is all the more listenable because of that uniqueness. The songwriter and former Trans-Siberian Orchestra vocalist specializes in traditionally arranged cuts that recall the song structure of literate dance diva [...] Billboard single reviews: Chris Brown, James Blunt Chris Brown perfected his brand of R&B-flavored pop music with singles like “Forever” and “I Can Transform Ya,” although his most recent hit, “Deuces,” presented a more thoughtful pose. “Yeah 3x,” his latest single from fourth album “F.A.M.E.,” finds the singer returning to dance music without missing a step.

Noisettes feat Wale and Estelle – Don’t Upset The Rhythm – I’ve been bumpin this one for a while and I suggest you grab it if you haven’t already. It’s already huge overseas and hopefully that success will follow to the U.S.A. 8/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
Sade – Soldier Of Love – Not my typical style track, but I still have to respect it. 8/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
Susan Boyle – Wild Horses – I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this, but I do like it. It look a little bit, but it’s a great remake. 7/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
The Fray – Syndicate – The Fray is back with another amazing single! Grab this one! 9/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
Young and Divine – Shake That Bubble – Not what I was expecting at all (I was expecting much more of a Hip-Hop track), but still a good find. 7/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
The Veronicas – 4ever 2009 – Not sure what the difference between the original (4ever) and the new version (4ever 2009) are, but I’ve reviewed this original, so until I spot a difference, my opinion remains the same. 7/10 Click below to listen (not the original video)
