Adele, ‘Rumour Has It’ – Song Review
Adele's 'Rumour Has It' is quite a throwback. It's a rhythmic song that starts with a military-influenced drum beat, thudding bass, some "oooohs" and Adele ripping into her ex-lover about how "she" can't love you like I do with that voice that has moved millions of copies of '21' throughout 2011.
New Found Glory, ‘Anthem for the Unwanted’ – Song Review
New Found Glory give a shout-out to those who have been dumped in 'Anthem for the Unwanted,' a track from their latest release, 'Radiosurgery.' The song is emo at its core, with singer Jordan Pundik desperately clinging to an obviously misguided hope that things can still work out with his ex.

In case you are like, "Eddie and Crystal who?" -- here's a brief education on 'em. They were adult contemporary singers wi
Yelawolf, ‘Throw It Up’ Feat. Gangsta Boo and Eminem – Song Review
The trifecta on Yelawolf's new song 'Throw It Up' is certainly one of the most unique collaborations on a rap song. You have the Alabama spitfire Yelawolf. Then there's Gangsta Boo, the foul-mouthed vixen from Three Six Mafia, and Eminem, the lyrical monster from Detroit.

Dev, ‘Kiss My Lips’ Feat. Fabolous – Song Review
Dev may be pregnant with her first child -- it's a girl -- but the 22-year-old electro pop singer is proving to be quite a MILF!

Rihanna, ‘You Da One’ – Song Review
