It happens every year. Journalists pour over the recordings that they've received as they create their Top 10 albums of the year. Award show voters tick off boxes that represent their favorites and fans scrutinize these selections and spend time talking about their favorites with friends. And sometimes, on that rare occasion, there is that one album that transcends explanation. The music is riveting, infectious or even groundbreaking of course, but the heartfelt and moving sentiments that possess a window to an artist's soul is what sets it apart. It is clear that journalists, award-show voters and fans alike can feel the sweat, the determination and the passion that must…

Remember Jessica Rabbit's immortal catchphrase, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way?" Those eight words are the antithesis of what makes Willa Ford unique in the pop music universe. Because not only does the 22-year old Floridian refuse to pretend she's a goody two-shoes but, more importantly, she's no cartoon character. Willa Ford is a deceptively complex individual, firmly at the helm of her own career. On her sophomore, yet-to-be-titled Lava full-length album, the singer reveals facets of her talent only hinted at on her 2001 debut Willa Was Here (featuring her smash hit "I Wanna Be Bad"). From the blazing lead single, the dancehall romp "A Toast To Men," and the s…

Date of Birth (Location) 1st October, 1981. Birmingham, England, UK. Biography Jamelia has had more false starts than an Olympic sprinter but now really is her time to burn bright. Her last single 'Bout' pointed the way but the new single 'Superstar' rams the message home - this girl is back to finish what she started. It seems unbelievable now that her first single was released in 1999 when she was at the tender age of 18. Even more unbelievable is that she'd been discovered by Parlophone at the age of 15, when she stood up in an A & R man's office and sang her own songs accapella, with a confidence that women twice her age would be proud to display. Parlophone s…
