A music review

İ love music and I am keen of calm and catchy songs. Though Springsteen's Born in the USA Lyrics sorts out the ability of the singer to channel the feelings of many silent disappointed American citizens and maybe those living in the country, it is not my favorite. İ am not fan of rock. However, I have a favourite album which for me is the best of all the time. Richard Bona' second album; Reverence released in 2001 after his non less chart-topping and stadium-filling first album 'Scenes from my life' released in 1999. This Cameroonian artist achieves to associated his enchanting voice with African and western chores to produce amazing and exhilarating songs loved by any discerning ear regardless of your cultural origin. The singer through the passion he expresses in each song of this album could make us realize how far and perfectly he channels the beauty of his childhood he alleged to have spent near his grand-mother. İndeed it is incredible to realize how he masters his native language, the Duala, a native language spoken in the Littoral region of the country. The song Muntula Moto (The benediction of a long life) explains clearly the link the artist has keep with the African wisdom. The song in fact channels the traditional wisdom in African culture calling the young generations to learn near old ones and to respect old people by giving them all the attention and possible love to be granted blessings useful to the success in the live. İn a world like today chattered by all types of threats to culture and inter-generational dialogue, it sounds like a warn to take into account and build on for the betterment of our social environment. Richard Bona, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and bassist extraordinaire virtuoso musicianship achieves to land all this know-how in Reverence. He is still producing incredible albums and has since become a clear icon of the African music and the jazz. Hang on Richard Bona, you look to have still a long journey to make the world enjoy the savvy of the African multi-cultural stand.

I am not a die-hard fan of music or of any album. I know this is not my hobby to collect albums from singers. In past, I had listened to the band "Back Street boy" their songs, actually, it was been a time with my youth, and I loved to listen to their songs every day. I would like to say they were a hard-working band between 1999 and 2003. I still remembered, their album was sold fast-paced, and their album was chart-topping at those times. Unlike other bands, they had catchy songs which I loved to listen to their every day. Songs of their had an emotional weight, particularly if they sing about love, they would be channeled of their youth. It was glory time for them.

To the IELTS Team. In the last paragraph, would it make the same meaning if "our most fundamental stories about ourselves" is changed to "the most fundamental stories about ourselves"?

My favourite album of all time is 'I Have a Dream' by Westlife.

I have no doubt when it comes to which is my favourite album of all time. “Ahora o nunca” by La Pegatina is filled with lively melodies, catchy lyrics and a lot of humour. It is no secret that the artists that form La Pegatina are able to cheer up a whole crowd and make everyone want to dance all night. Thus, this is the main reason why they are present at so many parties. The Ska album “Ahora o Nunca” is filled with fast-paced, foot-tapping unique songs. These frantic and upbeat lyrics nevertheless carry an important message. La Pegatina aims to vindicate the dehumanization of cities, the excessive use of social media, and living in the present. For example, they claim that cities like Barcelona, have become an amusement park due to tourism. They also insist that we are often thinking about what it is yet to come and not enjoying life as it goes. In fact, this is what inspired the name of the album. What distinguishes this unique music group from the others is their ability of spreading such important reflections with humour and positivity. Moreover, they could lift anyone's mood up in less than a two songs-time. Unlike other groups, the artists from La Pegatina devote themselves entirely to remaining true to themselves. They have their own unprecedented style, and this album is a proof of their uniqueness. More importantly, not only do they focus on the outside and the structure, but they fight to change this society through their lyrics.

I'm certainly not alone with my choice of favourite Album. In fact Max Pezzali's 'umo ragno has sold a lot of copies since its release in 1992. Nearly 30 years late, Max Pezzali performed the complete album in concert in front of some oh his die hard fans. The success of this album is due to the fact that behind catchy melodies there are stories of our Youth. The secret is that the asrtist, with his lyrics and melodies, is channelling real people. Many songs tell us as the real life of Italian Young people is going on e witch are the most important habits that they are following. Unlike many Other best selling album artists, Max Pezzali is still releasing chart topping. The highligt of the album is the first song called "Hanno Ucciso l'uomo Ragno" that tell us, behind an invented story of one of the most important invented hero of our hstory, spiderman, the true of Italian life.
