Song: Valentina
Album: MPLSound
Year: 2009
Dedicated to Selma Hayek's younger daughter, this is a fun tune with killer synth stabs and drum work reminiscent of Little Red Corvette. Everything sounds good here, from the vocals, to the instrumental work to the guitar solo and beyond. The more I play this track the more I like it. I'm tempted to ramble on and make shit up since there is scant information available but I will spare you the time reading such nonsense in hopes you'll click on the video above and listen for yourself.
Verdict: 5/5 stars
Would I sing it at karaoke? Heck yeah!
Song: Life on Mars? (Live Nassau Coliseum '76)
Album: Live Nassau Coliseum '76
Year: 1976, clearly, but the album release date was 2010
This track isn't so much a song as a tease - just one verse and one chorus of the studio version with nothing much changed beyond the vocal performance. It sounds OK and is great for singing along in the car, though too short. There are better live performances out there, making this one unnecessary.
Verdict: 2/5 stars
Would I sing it at karaoke? I've sung this one before . . . I'd need to work on it a bit before attempting a second time.
Winner: Valentina
Running Score: Bowie 6, Prince 5
