Album Review: Fight For Love - Elliott Yamin

Following the success of his self-titled debut album, Elliott Yamin is abck with his sophomore album called Fight for Love. The album was released on U.S. on May 05, 2009 by independent label Hickory Records and distributed through Sony-BMG.

The standard edition contains 12 amazing tracks. 


1. Let Love Be
- Honestly, this is a weak opening track. I wasn't expecting this since the opening track from Yamin's previous album is great. The song is a bit old-school. 

2. Know Better
- This is one of those tracks you'll remember. The opening lines, "I must admit I was crazy. Must have been love drunk", gave me an idea this song is going to be fantastic. Also, the song is very radio friendly.

3. Fight for Love
- This is one of the best songs from this album. I have to praise Yamin's label on choosing this as the first single of the album. The change of beat from the verse to the chorus to the last parts of the song was amazingly done. Also, I have to say that the video for this song is so far the best of Yamin.

4. You
- First, I have to say that the opening sound is really creepy. It gave me goosebumps. When Yamin started singing the first lines of this song, I can't help but be amazed of his voice. Very heart-whelming.

5. Can't Keep on Loving You (From A Distance)
- This track is one of my personal favorites. Actually, I think this is the third best track. The song is so lovely that I was mesmerized when I first heard the song. When Yamin hitted the lines "It feels like, we belong together", the song becomes more fantastic. I think, from all the songs from the album, this one has the greatest potential as a single.

6. Don't Be Afraid
- The cheesiest song from the album. 

7. You Say
- This song made me confused if I was listening to a Yamin album or to a Back Street Boys album. Having said that, i thought this is still good.

8. Apart From Me
- David Archuleta meets Elliott Yamin. The song reminded me of Archuleta's song Waiting for Yesterday. Having said that, I think this is one of the strongest song from the album.

9. Cold Heart
- The best song from this album. The swagger and authenticity of Yamin was on full blast on this song. He sounded really great. Awesome vocals! I can't wait to see him perform this live. A mark of a true talent.

10. How Do I Know
- Just okay for me, but this is forgettable.

11. This Step Alone
- This song is pure perfection. I'm so in love with this song. Amazing delivery from Yamin. His genuine voice fits the vulnerability of the song. The song is radio-friendly, and is a potential monster-hit. It's like the recharged Wait For You.

12. Someday
- This is the most touching song from his album. He was definitely singing from his heart. The connection was there. And also it has the best lyrics. Great way to end the album. (Well, for the standard edition.)

My ranking (from best to worst)
Cold Heart
This Step Alone
Can't Keep Loving You (From A Distance)
Fight For Love
Apart From Me
You
Someday
You Say
Know Better
How Do I Know
Let Love Be
Don't Be Afraid

BTW, this is better than his debut album!

David Archuleta Touches Daily Survey Today!

Following the success of Crush and A Little Too Not Over You, David Archuleta's Touch My Hand debuted at #2 today on The Daily Survey (DS) of Monster Rx 93.1.

This is Archuleta's highest debut on DS. His first single Crush debuted at #3, while ALTNOY debuted #5.

With this, Archuleta might debut at a high position on Countdown Top 7 (CD7) next Friday. A #1 debut is quite possible if the song will really do good on DS next week. If ever, TMH reaches #1 on CD7, this would be Archuleta's third consecutive #1 hit on RX. Crush and ALTNOY spent 7 and 4 weeks at #1 respectively.

TMH already made an impact to Philippine radio stations late last year and early this year since it was "initially" announced as the second single. Magic 89.9 was the first radio station to play the song. 

I just wanna greet all the Archietects out there, especially those who are members of PEx. Great job guys! Looks like we're going to be #1 again!

Keep on requesting and voting for TMH!!!

Here is today's DS result.

1. Know Your Enemy - Green Day
2. Touch My Hand - David Archuleta
3. Back in Time - Kyla feat. Jay-R
4. Again - Natasha Bedingfield
5. Blame It - Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain / Please Don't Stop the Rain - James Morrison

By the way, I just hope MYX will add TMH on their playlist though the video is disappointing.

Good Morning Intro

The title is, of course, inspired by John Legend's opening track for his album Evolver, but this post is not about his song. This post is my very first blog post.

Why 'Good Morning Intro'? 

This is so because I consider by first blog post as an intro, but 'Intro' is a cheap title, thus I decided to add 'Good Morning on' it, since the time while I was typing this is 11:24 AM.

The picture above shows my hand and my computer's keyboard. That was taken while I was typing this very first blog post.

Well now, I shall discuss my blog.

Question 1: Why now? Why not a long time ago?

At first I wasn't really into blogging, it was only few weeks ago when I found this really cool.

Question 2: What can the readers expect from my blog?

A daily dose of my life and everything. Lol. Anything goes. Just wait and see.. 

Question 3: What am I feeling now while typing this?

EXCITED!


So there! Almost done typing my very first blog post.

I can't wait to share you my stories!

Have a nice day...

Till then!
