Some memorable recording artists just didn’t make good albums. Larry Blackmon’s Cameo was one such example–their domain was the 12- inch and the 45 single. As a result, The Best of Cameo is the place to start and finish with one of dance music’s most distinctive, and unabashedly fun-loving, ensembles. Slick, funny, and endlessly funky, Cameo’s blend of squeaking keyboards, compu-beats, cartoon vocals, and extended jams synthesized a new brand of disco for a post- disco age. This set is the band at its best, with triangle-headed bandleader Blackmon leading his troops through ballroom classics like “Single Life,” New Wave-styled wonders such as “Rigor Mortis,” and bouncy, Prince-seasoned singles like “Word Up.” And it lays light on the ballads–never our heroes’ strong point. Trust me–you’ll want this as the soundtrack for your upcoming ’80s-revival party.

Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s are an 8-piece circle of young friends from Indiana who, in the spring of 2005, quietly released one of the most beloved indescribable records in recent memory, The Dust of Retreat. The band has clocked more than 100,000 miles on the road, playing sold out shows in NY, Chicago, and Indianapolis. The band was signed to Epic Records in October 2007, and wrote and recorded their major label debut with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine). From that recording session was born two separate releases, Animal and Not Animal.

Florida’s brilliant singer-songwriter Sam Beam expands Iron & Wine from solo project to a gaggle of friends and family on slide guitar, percussion, and backing vocals on his second album. Fans need not worry–the hushed immediacy and rich melodies remain the focus–but new flavors abound. For instance, the strange “Cinder And Smoke” sounds like a collaboration (with banjos of course) between America, Robert Wyatt, and Low. Meanwhile, “On Your Wings,” “Free Until They Cut Me Down,” and “Teeth in the Grass” showcase a brooding, earthy, Southern-rock-on-laudanum side that the band had previously only demonstrated in concert. It’s rare when an artist who’s become known for bedroom recordings makes the transition to the studio to produce work that’s better–Daniel Johnston, Lou Barlow, and Liz Phair all made their defining moments crouched above a cassette recorder at home. But Beam is the exception to the rule, as he has easily bested himself on the second Iron & Wine album.

Boy & Bear is a musical band from Sydney, Australia. The band describes its style as “a combination of drivey indie folk and choral harmonies.”

Formed in 2009, Boy & Bear was the idea of frontman Dave Hosking, who teamed with the three other members, all singer / songwriters, to form the group. All the members originally fronted their own groups, and became friends after sharing the stage on many occasions.

In October, 2009, the band was the ‘feature artist’ on radio Tripple J’s Unearthed program. In December, 2009, they played at the Homebake rock festival, and were winners of the Unearthed Homebake competition. In 2010, they toured Britain with Laura Marling, and released their debut EP, With Emperor Antarctica. The EP peaked at #63 on the Australian ARIA Charts.

On Recovery, his seventh major label studio album, EMINEM has reached out to an exciting list of first-time collaborators, including DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin and Boi-1da, among others.

Eminem releases Recovery just over a year after his last album, 2009’s Relapse. Relapse put the cap on an impressive ten years of recorded output, and contributed to Eminem being the biggest selling artist of 2000-2009. In recognition of this, Neilsen SoundScan named him their Artist of the Decade. Relapse entered the charts at #1 and, at nearly double platinum, was the best selling rap album of last year. It also earned Eminem his 11th Grammy award, winning in the Best Rap Album category. Relapse’s first single, “Crack A Bottle” from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Eminem’s second #1 after 2002’s “Lose Yourself”) and set a SoundScan record at the time of its release for opening week download sales (418,000). The album also spun off two other hits; the Top 10 “We Made You” and Top 20 “Beautiful.”

“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year,” remarked Eminem. “But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title.”

Eminem has sold more than 78,000,000 albums worldwide. After 1999’s quadruple platinum The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002) became two of the Top 5 best selling albums of the 2000s, with approximately 10,000,000 copies of each sold in the U.S. alone. 2004’s Grammy-nominated Encore reached #1 and was certified quadruple platinum. The #1, double platinum, 2005 greatest hits collection Curtain Call: The Hits and #2, platinum, 2006 various artists compilation Eminem Presents: The Re-Up followed.

A relatively unknown band from LA that seems to be picking up some steam. The title track is insanely catchy.

2009 album from the French Electro-Rockers. Born out of restlessness and a steady hunt for inspiration, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a career-defining album filled with the band’s signature melding of synthetics and organics, sharp, danceable rhythms, infectious choruses with a considerable dose of aural panache and candy-colored pop sensibilities.

Atlantic recording artist Paolo Nutini returns with his eagerly awaited second album Sunny Side Up. Produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne), Sunny Side Up sees Nutini continuing to mine his arresting brand of soulful modern pop. Songs such as ‘Ten Out Of Ten’ and ‘Coming Up Easy’ display the gifted tunesmith’s ever-growing knack for irrepressible melodies melded with insightful and intimate lyricism, all held together by Paolo’s gritty and unpredictable vocal stylings.
