New Added || Samson: Kenangan Terindah

DALAM kisah Yunani, nama Samson bermaksud dengan keperkasaan. Dia lelakiperkasa yang tak terkalahkan. Samson hanya tewas di tangan perempuan cantik bernama Delilah. Tentu bukan karena ingin menjadi "perkasa" dalam arti fisik, kalau lima anak muda memilih nama Samsons sebagai nama band. Impiannya adalah perkasa di dunia musik yang mereka ceburi.


Samsons boleh saja berharap seperti itu, tapi mereka harus "melintasi" dunia musik yang makin ketat. "Kita yakin dengan musik yang kita mainkan. Musik Samsons yang punya ciri dan unik," terang Irfan, gitaris, yang banyak membuat lagu di album pertama ini. Ahli lainnya adalah Bams [vokal], erik [gitar], Aldri [bass] dan Chandra [drum]. Mereka sepakat, musik yang mereka mainkan cukup punya ciri. "Salah satunya kami berbicara tentang apa yang kami alami. Bagi kami lagu-lagu kami jujur " terang Bams, vokalis. Sementara menurut Daniel Tumiwa, Managing Director Universal Musik Indonesia, pilihan terhadap Samson karena menurutnya mereka punya karakter yang bisa diangkat. "Pertama kali mendengar demo mereka, kita yakin vokal, musik dan liriknya punya kans untuk bersaing di dunia musik Indonesia," terang Daniel . Samsons memang beruntung. Mereka dianggap layak untuk "dijual" dibanding band-band lain rilisan label yang sama. "Yang lain punya pasar sendiri-sendiri dan memang target kita tidak untuk nasional," imbuh Daniel yang menolak dianggap mendiskriminasi promosi masing-masing band lokal yang dirils. "Kita perlakukan sama kok," elaknya. Samsons sendiri mengaku, berjodoh dengan labelnya karena punya visi yang sama. "Kita sama-sama ingin maju di musik Indonesa," kata Irfan. Okelah, apapun alasan mereka, Samsons sudah masuk ke rimba musik Indonesia yang ketat. Untuk single pertama mereka menjagokan lagu Naluri Lelaki ciptaan Irfan. Lagu ini cukup mendapat respon yang bagus dari penikmat musik Indonesia. Samsons juga baru merampungkan klip dari single kedua, Kenangan Terindah. Sebagai band baru, tampaknya mereka mempersiapkan diri untuk benar-benar tampil total. Selain material lagu yang simpel, mereka juga menyiapkan stylish untuk penampilan mereka. Artinya, Samsons yang mengaku lagu-lagunya banyak terinsipirasi dari perempuan ini, punya modal "bertarung" di dunia musik.

Request || Ashlee Simpson : Autobiography

You hear a lot of echoes throughout Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, but her big-eyed, bright-smiled sister Jessica isn't behind a one of them. That'll come as no surprise to fans and anyone who has caught the "darker" Simpson sister on MTV, which is responsible for hurtling the hard-edged "Pieces of Me" onto radio playlists across the country and creating a mini frenzy over this CD's content. Stoking the gossip-fueled flames is track three, "Shadow." On it, 19-year-old Ashlee spills her childhood resentment over her sister's attention-gulping career, ending up on a conciliatory note that has the surprising effect of making the Simpson divas' drama seem believable ("Everything's cool now…and the past is in the past," she sings). But serious music fans ought not to dilly-dally with the celeb stuff and dive right in, because this disc dishes up more than a lot of us bargained for. "LaLa" revs up the unsuspecting by way of out-and-out lustiness, "Love for Me" lays on the lovelorn angst thick, and the title track is a take-no-prisoners, love-me-or-leave-me rock anthem. Rippling throughout are cunningly malleable vocals, bending here for a kittenish Gwen Stefani effect, stretching there to sound Christina Aguilera-cathartic. Sweeter moments call to mind the indie sensibilities of Jill Sobule. More than others of her reality-show insta-star ilk, Ashlee Simpson's is an autobiography that shouts, "bring on the sequel."

New Released || Robbie William : Tripping

"Tripping" is the initial single from Robbie William's latest CD, "Intensive Care" (available in the U.S. only as an import). I have to admit that I really disliked this song when I heard it the first time. Robbie sings part of the song in a somewhat grating falsetto that overwhelms the song. However, repeated listens reveal a rather good song that is much more varied than it sounds at first. The instrumentation is lush and also very danceable - somewhat reminiscent of 70s disco but rather modern sounding as well. I'm not sure exactly what Robbie is singing about, but the lyrics seem to depict being downtrodden - I've taken as much as I'm willing to take/ Why do you say we should suffer in silence?

The casual fan will probably want to buy the full "Intensive Care" CD instead of this single, especially as the beautiful b-side "Make Me Pure" is included on "Intensive Care" as well. However, it's a nice teaser for the full CD. Robbie consistently produces wonderfully adventuresome pop music, and "Tripping" is a prime example.
