Perfectionist (album)

Perfectionist is the debut studio album by English singer Natalia Kills. It was released on 1 April 2011 through will.i.am Music Group, Cherrytree Records, KonLive and Interscope. Despite having started an acting career, Kills ventured into rap and released a single in 2005; however, her label went bankrupt. Kills continued working as a songwriter until 2008, when she was signed by will.i.am and started recording for the album.

Kills worked with musicians including Fernando Garibay, Jeff Bhasker, and Martin Kierszenbaum, and created a concept album based on perfectionism. Its lyrical content contains references to love, sex, and money while its sound is mostly styled in synthpop and dance-pop. Perfectionist received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who criticised its music and preferred Kills' visual projects. The album performed moderately on international record charts, obtaining top 50 positions in some European countries. In the United States, it reached number 129, and has sold 14,000 copies there as of September 2013; in the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 134.

Zombie (song)

It won the "Best Song" award at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Production

Zombie was written during the Cranberries' English Tour in 1993, in memory of two boys, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington.

Reception

The Rough Guide to Rock identified the album No Need to Argue as "more of the same" as the Cranberries' debut album, except for the song "Zombie", which had an "angry grunge" sound and "aggressive" lyrics. The Cranberries played the song on their appearance on the U.S. show Saturday Night Live in 1995 in a performance that British author Dave Thompson calls "one of the most powerful performances that the show has ever seen".

Zombie (album)

Zombie is a studio album by Nigerian Afrobeat musician Fela Kuti. It was released in Nigeria by Coconut Records in 1976, and in the United Kingdom by Creole Records in 1977.

The album criticised the Nigerian government; and it is thought to have resulted in the murder of Kuti's mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and the destruction of his commune by the military.

Critical reception

In a 1981 review, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an "A–" and found Kuti's English lyrics to be "very political" and "associative". He said that Kuti records "real fusion music — if James Brown's stuff is Afro-American, his is American-African." In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Sam Samuelson gave Zombie four-and-a-half out of five stars and called it Kuti and Africa 70's "most popular and impacting record".Pitchfork Media ranked it number 90 on their list of the 100 best albums of the 1970s.

The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
