  • MUS 2008 Album Review Assignment
    MUS 2008 Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Music Instructor: Peter Johnston Album Review Assignment Length: 800-1000 words (2-3 pages) Format: double-spaced, no extra line between paragraphs, size 12 font, 1” margins Submission: online through Blackboard, PDF or MS Word files only Late penalty: 10% per day late, counted from 11:59 pm each day Assignment Details: The purpose of this assignment is to comparatively examine the criteria used by two different music reviewers to judge the merits of an album. It is expected that you will use terms and concepts from the course content to frame your analysis. Please refer to the example reviews on Blackboard. This short essay must include the following: (1) References to two contrasting reviews of an album of your choice, meaning one that reviews the album positively and another that offers a negative reading of the album’s merits. The album can be from any popular music genre, but must have been made in the last ten years. These reviews should come from published music critics (from newspapers, magazines, industry websites like pitchfork.com, allmusic.com or billboard.com, etc.) but not fans’ websites, blogs, amazon.com comments, or the like. (2) An examination and comparison of the aesthetic criteria used in each review, meaning the terms, concepts, and assumptions that the authors employ to establish why they think the album is good or bad. (Note: often critics do not explicitly state the criteria they use and so you will most likely need to “read between the lines”). As an example of aesthetic criteria, one reviewer may praise the lyrical content of an album, while another may argue that the lyrics are weak.

  • Miguel Coffee Single
    GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST MIGUEL CONFIRMS NEW ALBUM TITLE WILDHEART, OUT THIS SUMMER ON BYSTORM ENTERTAINMENT/RCA RECORDS FIRST OFFICIAL SINGLE “COFFEE” RELEASES TODAY [New York – May 4, 2015] – Grammy Award winning recording artist Miguel has confirmed the title to his highly anticipated new studio album, WILDHEART, to be released this summer on ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records. The album’s first single Coffee, and its edgy, re-imagined alternate version, Coffee (F***ing) ft. Wale, were produced by Miguel and released today on all digital platforms. WILDHEART is the long awaited follow up to Miguel’s 2012 critically acclaimed sophomore release, KALEIDOSCOPE DREAM, which spent 20 weeks on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. Miguel: Miguel first hit the mainstream in 2010 with the infectious first single ‘All I Want Is You,’ from his major label debut album of the same name, a song which blended a stark hip-hop beat with Miguel’s creamy vocals to form a sound that was absent from the radio and established Miguel as one of the most unique and soulful voices in modern R&B. The album also features ‘Sure Thing,’ which hit #1 on Billboard's Hip- Hop/R&B chart and second US #1 ‘Quickie.’ Miguel’s follow up was his critically- acclaimed, four-time Grammy Award nominated, sophomore album ‘Kaleidoscope Dream’ (Sony Music Aust), which features his third US #1 hit single ‘Adorn,’ the intoxicating ‘How Many Drinks?’, ‘Do You…’ and ‘The Thrill.’ In 2013 Miguel was nominated for a total of 5 Grammy Awards. Lead single ‘Adorn,’ written and produced by Miguel, garnered Miguel his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and resided at #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart for more than 23 weeks becoming the longest running #1 in the history of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart.

  • “'All I Want Is You' Was the Soundtrack of My Relationships,” Remarks the 27
    “‘All I Want Is You’ was the soundtrack of my relationships,” remarks the 27-year old singer Miguel, as he takes a methodical pause to deliberate his next thought. “‘Kaleidoscope Dream’ is the soundtrack of my life.” It’s that off-centered and calculated precision that thrust Miguel into the mainstream in 2010 with the infectious first single “All I Want Is You,” from his major label debut album All I Want Is You (ByStorm/Jive Records). That song blended a stark hip-hop beat with Miguel’s creamy vocals to form a sound that was completely absent from the radio and established Miguel as one of the most unique and soulful voices in modern R&B. He continued to grow with "Sure Thing," which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Hip-Hop/R&B chart. With its bubble- pop drums and stunning vocal performance, it further showcased Miguel as an artist that has the angelic voice and songwriting chops to make luminaries proud while still possessing the mysterious, innate cool that modern listeners crave. He then quickly topped off his debut album with his third single "Quickie," which brilliantly flipped reggae into the sexiest sound on the radio and earned Miguel his second No. 1 hit. But the man born Miguel Pimentel is not even close to being satisfied. His four- time Grammy® nominated sophomore album Kaleidoscope Dream (ByStorm/ RCA Records)-- which came on the heels of Art Dealer Chic, his self-released series of free EPs from early 2012 that drove the internet crazy -- is bigger and more encapsulating, with a scope and sound that pushes past the boundaries of R&B and challenges its listeners.
