Yes, the 'Sex and the City' movie was worth it... and so it's the sountrack.


After a lont time talking about if this movie was going to be made due to apparent feuds between the actresses or maybe if it was actually bothering to play with a succesful TV show turning into a big screen movie, Sex and the City hits our screens today. I wasn't one of the followers of this show when it was on, but somehow I got hooked on the very last ten episodes of season 6. And I can say, according to my friends too, that the movie was worth all the fuss and the time waiting for it to be made. It's funny, classy and with all the bits that made the TV show a complete success... and guess what? So was the soundtrack. I kept recognising different singers here and there from songs that matched what was on screen perfectly. You will find songs by Fergie, Jennifer Hudson (part of the cast), rockers Morningwood, lovely Jem, a remix of a Nina Simone song or Run DMC. Check it out if you get the chance.

Despues de mucho tiempo hablando sobre si esta pelicula llegaria a ser hecha, debido a aparentes enemistades entre actrices o quizas si realmente valia la pena volver a tocar una serie de television de tanto exito adaptandola y llevandola a la gran pantalla, Sexo en Nueva York a llegado a pantallas inglesas hoy. Yo para nada fui uno de los fans mas adeptos, pero por algun motivo me engancho los ultimos diez capitulos de la ultima temporada. Y puedo decir despues de haberla visto hace un par de horas, tambien segun mis amigos locos fans de la serie, que la espera valio la pena. Es divertida, con clase y con lo que hizo la serie de television tal exito... Y para mi sorpresa, tambien lo es la banda sonora. He ido reconociendo diferentes artista tal y como la pelicula iba pasando. Encontrareis entre los artistas a Fergie, Jennifer Hudson (una de las actrices), nuevos rockeros como Morningwood, la maravillosa Jem e incluso remix de una cancion de Nina Simone o Run DMC. Os la recomiendo como banda sonora.

A 'Love Song' that might get her known in Europe

Sara Bareilles might be a name that you never heard before... but might not be for long. I heard on the radio this song a few weeks back. And the more I listen to it the more I like it. Try to see if you can listen to it. It's definitely a song that grows on you and I have the feeling we will hear a lot more about her in the future. In the US she already release another song that sounds pretty good too called 'Bottle It Up'. See what you think.

Sara Bareilles es un nombre que quizas no signifique nada para ti o nunca lo hayas oido antes... pero no por mucho tiempo. Escuche esta cancion en la radio hace algunas semanas. Y la verdad es que cuanto mas la escucho mas me gusta. Es definitivamente un de esas canciones que mejora cuanto mas la escuchas y me parece que vamos a escuchar mucho mas sobre esta chica. En USA ha sacado ya otra cancion llamada 'Bottle It Up' que suena pero que muy bien tambien. Juzgad por vosotros mismos.

Take A Bow, Rihanna is #1 in the UK Charts


As I recommended during this week, the song 'Take A Bow' by Rihanna hits the number one spot in the UK Official Charts today. I learned from her official website that she will re-release her critically acclaimed 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album on 17/6/2008 with this and another couple of songs and a DVD with a behind the scenes. I guess they have to milk the cow to the maximum... Still, great song and deserved #1. Congrats Rihanna!

Como recomende esta semana pasada, la cancion 'Take A Bow' de Rihanna se ha apoderado del numero 1 en la lista oficial de exitos del Reino Unido. Veremos si ocurre lo mismo en el resto de Europa. Junto a esto, van a lanzar una nueva edicion de su disco 'Good Girl Gone Bad' que obtuvo fantasticas criticas el 17/6/2008 segun su pagina oficial, con un par de canciones nuevas y un DVD on un 'como se hizo'. Supongo que tienen que sacar de esto todo lo que puedan por no tener otro nuevo disco listo a tiempo... Merecido numero 1, asi que enhorabuena Rihanna!

Monica Naranjo released Tarantula


Spanish singer Monica Naranjo released her new albun Tarantula, her latest studio work after her wonderful greatest hits. After listening to the CD a couple of times we can see that she went for topics other than love, talking about media or politics and maybe more about herself. 'Europa' is her new single, but I definitely would choose 'Amor y Lujo' as my favourite song by far. The rest of the CD is slightly different to what we are used to, it's quite good, but on the whole not sure if it would leave us satisfied as she did in other occasions. I add a video where you can see her singing the song 'Amor y Luojo' live with the contestants of this year's spanish Pop Idol, 'Operacion Triunfo'. I hope you like it!

Monica Naranjo saco a la venta no hace mucho su nuevo disco Tarantula, su ultimo trabajo de estudio despues de su fantastico grandes exitos. Despues de escucharlo un par de veces, podemos ver como esta vez no habla unicamente de desamores y se lanza a otros temas como politica o famoseo. Su primer single es 'Europa', pero yo me quedo claramente con 'Amor y Lujo'. El resto del CD tiene sus altos y bajos, bastante bueno en general, pero quizas no nos deja totalmente satisfechos como en anteriores trabajos. Ahi va un video de su actuacion en directo en el programa 'Operacion Triunfo' con los concursantes del 2008. Espero que os guste!

Rihanna is back... and it's ace again!

Well, well. Rihanna is back and with an ace song written by Ne-Yo called 'Take A Bow'. I don't need to say that the song itself and the lyircs are great... but this woman looks great in this video too!

Vaya, pues tenemos a Rihanna de vuelta con una cancion compuesta por Ne-Yo llamada 'Take A Bow'. Letra muy buena, cancion muy buena... pero es que ella sale monisima otra vez!!!! Esta mujer es lo mas. Y esta semana entrada directa al numero 2 del UK charts.

Enjoy! Disfrutadlo!
