UK MUSIC: LABRINTH FT TINE TEMPAH – EARTHQUAKE

October 13, 2011

Producer/artist Labrinth teams up with Tinie Tempah on his new single Earthquake. ….. Earthquake actually sounds pretty good, decent production, but Labrinth could have done without featuring Tinie on the track, and he needs to decide whether he is going to rap/sing in his monotone English accent or an American accent. The Video – People have been hyping up this video saying it’s “SICK” and “AMAZING” , but in my opinion it’s just alright. The video just reminds me of an 1980s style video game. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

WE ARE THE WORLD 25 FOR HAITI – OFFICIAL VIDEO

February 14, 2010

I know that ‘We Are The World’ has been re-recorded to help raise money for Haiti relief , (oh and let’s not forget, to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary) but some things are best left alone. The original track should never have been touched. Lil Wayne and T-Pain “sing” their parts using autotune *HUGE SIGH* The rap towards the end – This should have been scrapped. It just sounds so out of place. Wyclef – I’m sorry but he sounds awful! The video looks like it […]
