Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long (Limited Edition)
I think Maroon5 are just magnificent. The limited edition CD features other singers singing with Maroon5 such as pop idol's Rihanna and Mary J Blige. This CD as a limited edition has fabulous sing-a-long tunes perfect for cruising around in your car or for easy listening. While it is completely out of depth with anything you would expect from the band, this album is a must have.

Nelly - Brass Nuckles
Nelly has braced some of the most played hits of the modern day, and I am afraid to say….he's done it again! His new album Brass Nnuckles, while a bit full on gangsta- therefore sickening at times, does include some great party tunes including, "Hold up" and the reigning "Party People". Alongside his solo tracks, Nelly also teams up with RnB stars LL Cool J, Ashanti, Usher, Akon and Fergie to complete his fierce and intense new album.

BB: 3.5/5

CDB - The Funk Sessions
Yep the 1990's Aussie pop group CDB are back- and we are just as shocked as you. The once successful hit "Let's Groove" has been taken over by an array of hot new tunes including 'Pretty Young Thing'. Focusing now on the essence of funk and RnB, the new CD consists of cool tracks including 'Do I Do' and 'Fantastic Voyage'. While undecided on whether the group will make a successful return, it is safe to say that the music on the new album The Funk Sessions, will be sure to help them out-a lot! In stores Oct 11.

The Grates - Teeth Lost Hearts Won
The Grates have become a fairly popular band recently so I expected that this album would be as good as the reviews I have heard from my friends. It's a fairly alternative, "Angry girl" kind of music at times, but then breaks into songs I would expect to hear on the soundtrack of Juno. One of my preferred songs was "Burn Bridges", as is everyone else's. It's not really my cup of tea but is something you could rock out to with your friends in your lounge room or car.
