Donell Jones Journey of a Gemini Pop Music CD Review
The extremely talented Pop artist Donell Jones has released him latest CD on the LaFace recording label, entitled Journey Of A Gemini.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
Journey Of A Gemini has a pleasantly varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Overall Journey Of A Gemini is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Pop fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Better Start Talking, track 6 – Potrait Of A Woman, and track 15 – I’m Gonna Be.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Special Girl. What a nice track!

The Low End Theory $5.08 De La Soul are remembered as the premier Native Tongues posse, those rappers who got low-key, self-consciously thoughtful, and jazzy in the face of gangsta’s hardcore threats. But A Tribe Called Quest may have been even stronger, especially on their excellent second album, the bass-thumping, heavily jazz-sampled The Low End Theory. According to the opening “Excursions,” rapper Q-Tip’s old man says… |

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey $9.21 I’ve been hearing a lot of praise for this book over the past three years. It’s a history of the DJ, which starts at the beginning of radio but concentrates primarily on the late 60s and beyond, when the DJ moved from a part of the club staff to a real icon. The writing style is so easy going and subject matter so interesting, you may forget that you are actually gaining indispensable knowledge. D… |
