Entertainment ..... — WOBWiS ' ' Pg. 4 The Clackamas Print i Three new Capitol Records releases look to be successful by Heidi Branstator Feature Editor I was recently given the opportunity, by Capitol Records, to review a variety of new releases. I listened to the music they sent me and rated each album with a star rating. **** *** ** * Excellent: High energy, fun to listen to, easy to move to, music I could play over and over again. Good: Enjoyable to listen to, not as much energy. Fair: Music I could only listen to in certain moods, songs sound too similar to each other. Poor: Boring, monotonous. Tisha Cambell, TISHA This self-titled album, with a Jan. 12 release date, is Cambell’s debut. She is a singer/dancer/actress with music credits including “Little Shop of Horrors,” “School Daze” and both “House Party” movies. Her acting experiences include “Roc,” “A Different World,” “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and currently “Martin.” She has also worked with Eddie Murphy in “Boomerang” and both "48 Hours" movies. Cambell has a strong voice and her energy really comes out in Tisha. She has a bold, clear sound that bursts with confidence. Her music ranges from dance grooves to seductive ballads. I found myself wanting to dance as I listened to her sing. I also enjoyed the variety of songs. I believe that her career is off to a promising start. **** King Tee, THA TRIFLIN’ ALBUM -parental advisory- “On this album, we’re staying with what we know,” said hard rapper King Tee. “And that’s straight underground. I wrote the whole album from experience.” According to King Tee, “triflin” means “scandalous.” He said that his mother used to call him triflin ’ because he would do anything. In this album, also released Jan. 12, King Tee raps about the world through his eyes. He is blunt and uncensored (this explains the parental advisory). Spe cial appearances are made by groups such as Tha Alka- holiks, Ice Cube and Deadly Threat. “There’s a drunk side and there’s a sober side,” said King Tee. The drunk side is all about partying, telling jokes and^Jiaving fun, while the sober side is about everything serious. “Black Together Again” was written on the heels of the South Central riots, focusing on unity. I found King Tee’s voice to be young sounding, but his music had a good beat. There was a wide variety of sounds; his music isn’t monotonous like some rap music. ** 1/2 Paul McCartney, OFF THE GROUND Paul McCartney, the 50-year-old ex-Beatle will re lease his 18th solo album Feb. 9. It is his first studio album since 1989. I enjoyed the sounds of Off The Ground. McCart ney has a distinct voice that can’t be mistaken. The album was recorded live and only the best takes were used, so the sound is a little rough. The album was created solely with the band who has sidekicked his live shows for the last three years. The band includes guitar ists Robbie McIntosh and Hamish Stuart, Linda Mc Cartney and Paul Wickens on keyboards and drummer Blair Cunningham. Many of the songs on the album were mellow and began to sound similar after a while, but McCartney is a talented man, and that talent always shows through in his music. *** Paul McCartney Well known performers to appear at 'American Music Awards' by Jeff Kemp Staff Writer For those of us who are diehard tfFusic fans and rely on the radio airwaves for our survival, "The 20th Annual American Music Awards” will ¿ome to us at a 'perfect time to start our new year off right.
