//Neon Reviews: The Pros And Cons Of Disney’s Princess Protection Program Starring Demi Lovato//

Disney Channel rolled out their newest original movie tonight (June 26), the Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez fronted Princess Protection Program. Although Neon Limelight is all about the music, we couldn’t help catching the latest DCOM and sharing our view. The fact that both girls are also singers completely justifies us in doing this as [...]

//Neon Reviews: Gavin DeGraw – Free//

Gavin DeGraw is a believer in the saying that less is more — well, at least now he is. That’s the approach he’s taken to his stripped down third studio album entitled Free which comes not even a full year after the release of his decidedly more rock-oriented self-titled sophomore album.
Perhaps quietly admitting to the [...]

//Neon Reviews: Keri Hilson – In A Perfect World…//

Interscope Records may have given her a record deal as soon as they got word of her as she raps in the intro to her debut album, but it’s been a struggle for Keri Hilson to make the transition from your favorite artists’ songwriter behind the scenes to the artist in the forefront.
Keri was not unfamiliar with being [...]

//Neon Reviews: Kelly Clarkson – All I Ever Wanted//

Catchy hooks? Check! Addictive melody? Yes! Dynamic vocals? Also there. All are the ingredients for the successful return to Pop music for the original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson.
Clarkson abandoned the world of light, mainstream goodness for a darker, edgier Rock turn on her 2006 release My December, much to her labels dismay. After the album [...]

//Review Bits: Gavin DeGraw – Stay//

For his third studio album, Gavin DeGraw set out to make an album that goes back to the basics, that strips away the barriers between the raw magnetism of the music and the listener’s ears.
A two-week long jam session in a New York studio with producer Camus Celli resulted in Free, a collection of  10 songs exhibiting [...]

//Neon Reviews: Lily Allen – It’s Not Me, It’s You//

It sounds like a friendly little ditty. The sonic atmosphere echoes like a hop-scotching children’s tune, but the lyrics are brazenly adult. “So you say it’s not OK to be gay/Well I think you’re just evil…F*ck you. F*ck you very, very much,” sings British songbird Lily Allen in the sweetest tone with only a hint of [...]

//Neon Reviews: Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreak//

Kanye West has never gotten anywhere by following trends–he’s been setting them since debuting in 2004 with his album College Dropout. His debut single, “Through the Wire,” featured the Chicago rapper spitting the lyrics of the song, literally, through the wires that held his jaw shut weeks after a car crash nearly took his life. It’s that kind of [...]

//Neon Reviews: Britney Spears – Circus//

The word circus perfectly describes the last 2 years for Britney Spears. But between the hospital stays, mental evaluations and court proceedings, Britney Jean Spears did manage to have some high points: seemingly cleaning up her act, her MTV Video Music Awards wins and her brand new album, appropriately titled Circus. Widely referred to as [...]

//Neon Reviews: Shontelle – Shontelligence//

 
23-year-old Barbados-born Shontelle has the unforunate disadvantage of being constantly compared to another Bajan beauty: Rihanna. It doesn’t help her cause being on related record labels, being discovered by the same producer (Evan Rogers), and being managed by the same company. One skim through her bio would lead you to think that she’s just a gimmick; a [...]

//Neon Reviews: Beyoncé – I Am…Sasha Fierce//

There’s no doubt that Beyoncé is a superstar. During the last 11 years in the spotlight, she’s sold over 100 million albums as the lead singer and driving force behind Destiny’s Child, the best-selling female group of all time, and released two multi-platinum albums of her own as a solo artist. Let’s not forget about [...]
