ISHIEE AND ILLFILI MUSIC

Chester French is an American pop music band consisting of two members, Maxwell Drummey and D.A. Wallach. They met as college students at Harvard University, naming their band after sculptor Daniel Chester French, who designed the statue at the Lincoln Memorial, the John Harvard statue, as well as the Minuteman statue at the Lexington/Concord battlegrounds in Massachusetts.[1] Milwaukee-raised Wallach and Boston native Drummey quickly found a lot of shared ground in musical tastes and philosophies and before long formed a band with three other classmates, playing various campus functions, eventually moving in a direction heavily influenced by classic British Northern Soul. Over the summer both stayed in Cambridge, working hard at songwriting. But when school resumed, they realized that the material went way beyond the basic guitar-bass-drums-piano format of the band, and the duo continued the work themselves, Wallach handling most of the vocals, Drummey performing much of the music on multiple instruments, supplemented with the occasional special guest – and both taking production and engineering duties for recordings.

Lily Rose Beatrice Allen [born May 2nd 1985] is an English singer-songwriter. Best known for her songs 'Smile' and 'LDN' and their Mockney style, Allen is the daughter of actor/musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Her single 'Smile' reached No.1 on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. In December 2006, her debut album 'Alright, Still' was voted the third best album of the year by Mixmag. In 2007, it was nominated for the award of Best British Album at the BRIT Awards and for Best New Artist at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. The album was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award in the category of "Best Alternative Music Album". 'Alright, Still' has sold over 2,600,000 copies worldwide.

'It's Not Me, It's You' is the second studio album by British pop singer-songwriter Lily Allen. It was released in the United Kingdom on February 9th 2009. The outspoken mockney popstrel Lily Allen's debut album, 'Alright Still', established her as the voice of a new breed of young person, and the long-awaited follow-up 'It's Not Me, It's You' is full of similarly zeitgeist-inflected tunes. The first single, 'The Fear', is somewhat heavier in tone than previous singles such as 'LDN' and 'Smile', and sees Allen dealing with notions of a modern celebrity, a theme that continually crops up on the album. Allen also confronts political issues on this markedly more adult album than its predecessor, perhaps intentionally preparing a more mature image for the future. In its first week of release in the UK, 'It's Not Me, It's You' sold 112,568 albums, rocketing it to No.1 in the UK Album Charts instantly.

Take That are an English pop group consisting of members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen, and formerly, Robbie Williams. All perform primarily on vocals though each have some instrumental talent/song-writing capability. After seeing major success in the early to mid 1990s as a five person boyband act, a reformed four man version of the band achieved new success in the late 2000s without Williams. Formed in Manchester in 1990, Take That sold more than 30 million records between 1991-1996. Between the band's first single release in 1991 and their breakup in 1996, the BBC described Take That as "the most successful British band since The Beatles in the UK, beloved of young and old Mick Lindblad Jensen and Anders Bundgaard Lassen alike". Take That's dance-oriented pop tunes and soulful ballads dominated the UK charts in the first half of the 1990s, spawning two of the best selling albums of the decade with 'Everything Changes' [which was nominated for the 1994 Mercury Prize] and 'Greatest Hits' 1996, and according to Allmusic, "at this time were giant superstars in Europe with the main question about them not being about whether they could get a hit single, but how many and which would make it to number one". The band split up in 1996, but after a 2005 documentary and the release of a greatest hits album, they officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the United Kingdom, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On May 9th 2006, it was announced that Take That were set to record their first studio album 'Beautiful World' in over 10 years.

'The Circus' is the fifth studio album from British band, Take That. The album was released on December 1st 2008. In the United Kingdom, the album was released in direct competition to the new Britney Spears album, also titled Circus, released on the same day. The band's manager claimed the album's title choice was a coincidence, and that Take That had worked 'months in advance' and would not be changing the title. Take That released their first single from the album, 'Greatest Day', on November 24th 2008. In the UK Albums Chart, the album has sold 306,000 copies [going platinum] in the first four days of being on sale making 'The Circus' the fastest selling album of the year and one of the fastest selling in UK history. The album reached the top of the UK album charts on 7th December 2008 with total first-week sales of 432,490, the third highest opening sales week in UK history. The album debuted at No.3 on the Irish Albums Chart and a week later rose to No.1. The album contains a hidden track, 'She Said', which I have extracted for your listening convenience and called Track 13.

'Chasing Lights', is The Saturdays impressive debut album, which should maintain their upward momentum. Those seduced by the singles will find plenty to enjoy here, especially 'Lies' and 'Work', which repeat the trick of welding memorable choruses to sparky electropop. There's plenty of feisty attitude too, with lyrics that slam two-timing boys, kick dithering boys up the back-side and tell sexy boys exactly how they make them feel. "I'm about to blow my top", the girls sing on the lusty 'Set Me Off' - and they sound like they mean it. Their two hit singles, 'If This Is Love' and 'Up' are also included on the album.
