'First, make a list of your overall top-20 artists. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, add up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.'

After more than a year of delay, In a Perfect World..., the singing debut of multi-platinum songwriter Keri Hilson, has finally seen the light of day. Even though it's a bit disappointing that good early songs like "High Heels" and "Come Clean" didn't make the final cut, the whole album is filled with Keri's passionate vocals and futuristic electro-R&B sounds provided by Timbaland, Danja and Polow Da Don and thus very solid. Especially, Polow-produced electric slow jam "Make Love" is the bomb.

Case, the singer best known for R&B hits such as "Touch Me, Tease Me," "Faded Pictures" and "Missing You," just released his fourth album and first in eight years, The Rose Experience. This is Case's first independent release…

Since I still need to scribe some write-ups for some of the albums on my best of ‘07 list, I figured I’d post this.

Question marks (?) indicate artists that have stated they’re writing new material, but an ‘08 release is not definite; although, at an educated guess- I’d say an ‘08 release is likely.

Bold font are albums I’m looking forward to. Bold font plus red are albums I’m really looking forward to.

If there’s any mistakes please let me know. Feel free to post releases I’ve missed, also.
