It’s not techno, but a lot of the background noise is a mixture of guitar, latin/salsa sounds, strong percussion, weird electronic beats and sometimes even an accordion. Kinky’s sound is a fusion of alternative rock and electronica. This is Kinky’s second album and, unlike the first, it combines Spanish and English lyrics sung by Gilberto Cerezo, the frontman for the band from Monterrey, Mexico. But once I got over the fact that this isn’t your typical rock en Español like Juanes, or the mellow, alternative Spanish rock I’m used to, I realized that Atlas’s fresh and modern music was just the thing I needed. It wasn’t until the fourth time I listened to it, booklet in hand, that I had any idea what the CD was about. Even though Kinky‘s lead singer has improved his English dramatically, it’s still hard to understand what he says in both English and Spanish without the lyrics. Like the labyrinth described in the song "Minotauro," this CD is a maze that you can get lost in unless you discover the key that makes it all work. He has successfully changed his image and his music after a tough transition from a boyhood of acne and voice cracking to a manhood of dealing with sexual desires and the ups and downs of long-term relationships. Usher spells out the more physical aspects of love, from temptation to lust to regret. In fact, his hit "Confessions Part II" was written shortly after his break-up with Chili from TLC. He has gone deeper, showing his own growth as a man and a musician. Nonetheless, Usher’s autobiographical album has sold 5.3 million albums since March. Also, the background music sounds the same in many of his songs. They are slow and tender and vividly describe Usher’s sexual desires, which bored me.
In contrast, the ballads "That’s What It’s Made For," "Do It to Me," and "Can You Handle It?" are repetitive. With its fast rhythm, "Caught Up," about feeling panicky and losing control after being turned on by a girl, also pumps up the adrenaline. Lil’ John’s and Ludacris’ deeper and richer voices blend well with Usher’s more mellow voice.
"Yeah!" about spotting and then dancing with an attractive girl at the dance club, is a real treat, featuring Lil’ John and Ludacris. "Yeah!" and "Caught Up" stand out by their exciting beats and fast rhythm. Bass, harmonic accompaniment, melody, and percussion can all be played simultaneously when playing Fingerstyle.Although Usher‘s latest album Confessions delivers mature lyrics and soulful sounds, the 17-track album has too many slow songs that kill the excitement of the faster songs. Physically, “Fingerstyle” refers to using each of the right (or left) hand fingers independently in order to play the multiple parts of a musical arrangement that would normally be played by several band members.
Music arranged for fingerstyle playing can include chords, arpeggios, and other elements such as artificial harmonics, hammering on and pulling off with the fretting hand, using the body of the guitar percussively, and many other techniques. The term is often used synonymously with fingerpicking. Fingerstyle guitar is the technique of playing the guitar by plucking the strings directly with the fingertips, finger-nails, or picks attached to fingers, as opposed to Flatpicking (picking individual notes with a single plectrum called a flat pick) or strumming all the strings of the instrument in chords.
