the current trend of “cash-money-hos” worship the industry is
cranking out these days, and even from the teen-angst whines of
many young groups in Coldplay’s genre. Chris Martin, leading the
vocals and on the piano, shows off more of his talents this time
around than in the successful Grammy-winning album
“Parachutes” (2001). Capitol Records knows this goldmine, hasn’t
been drained.
The album cover and insert art is done in all black, white and
gray, containing only two simple photos of the band and a stark
cover illustration, but don’t be fooled; the music is as colorful as
any Van Gogh. With a broad vocal range faintly reminiscent of

THE BATTALIO)
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke’s, Martin sings poetically
about concepts such as love just as passionately as he does abom
the sun in a track fittingly titled “Daylight.” Maybe his soft
breathy voice has something to do with his recent marriage in
actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
The lyrics of “A Rush of Blood to the Head” - the entire album
not just the namesake track that appears on it - are deep and pent
trating. The are so eloquent are that one can’t help being curiousof
the inspiration to star tracks such as “In My Place” and “Tki
Scientist,” a heartbreaking ode that hints at a mysterious mistake®
a past relationship. “The Scientist’s” backwards-playing musit
video received a Grammy nod for Best Short Form Music Video.
While some of the lyrics are so abstract and seemingly personal
to the band that they beg for elaboration (“Come out in things 1 sail
Shoot an apple off my head / A trouble that can’t be named / i
tiger’s waiting to be tamed” in “Clocks”), any listener with an imag
inative vein won’t mind this exercise in creativity.
Rolling piano accompaniment and an enchanting melody defmt
“Clocks,” a track which shines above the rest and is worthy ofiis
Grammy nomination for Best Record of the Year. After hearing
this one, the rumor that circulated radio airwaves last March
Elton John spontaneously took the piano bench at a Manhattanbj
to play this hit isn’t hard to believe.
Though the songs are emotionally entrenched, Martin doesni
sound like he harbors the rage expressed by some of his contem
poraries in rock; his vocals are soulful, sweet, and scream-free.
Martin and company will take the listener on a fascinating - ani
possibly introspective -journey with these 10 tracks, many ofwhici
can also be heard on the band's new “Live 2003” album and DVD
a collection of live tour recordings. “A Rush of Blood to the Head
is still an unforgettable album that should hold Coldplay in thetof
tier of alternative music.

Blueprint!
R m
a-Records
This year’s 46th Annual Grammy Awards will have a vet
competitive arrangement of talent. Musicians of all genres will
be represented, whether it is country, rap, alternative, popoi
even classical. It is always difficult to decide who is the bes
from each category, and this year will be no different, especial
ly for the rap nominees.
Shawn Carter, more commonly known as Jay-Z, is one rappei
who has graced the rap world with his lyrics and beats for a
time now. He has already released several albums and his new two-
disc set, “Blueprint 2,” hit the shelves in November 2002.
“Blueprint 2” was produced by Roc-A-Fella Records andnomi
nated for Best Rap Album for the 2002-03 year. Its competitor'
include Missy Elliot’s “Under Construction,” 50 Cent’s “Get Rich®
Die Tryin’,” Outkast’s “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” and Tit
Root’s “Phrenology.”
The two discs in “Blueprint 2“ are titled "The Gift” and'lk
Curse.” Both include a variety of beats and tones that strengthen!
disc’s entertainment value. Jay-Z mixes his talent with severap
tured guests.
Notorious B.l.G. helps jump-start ‘The Gift’ with the song, 1
Have a Dream.” Beyonce Knowles’ vocals in “’03 Bonnie ail
Clyde” and Sean Paul in “What They Gonna Do” also add to Ik
repertoire. Jay-Z even leans a bit towards the rock genre with Lei
Kravitz in “Guns and Roses.”
The album contains the stereotypical rap contents of sex, drug
and name-calling but adds enough variety to make it more original
than a mundane rap recording.
“Blueprint 2” is not one of Jay-Z’s stronger albums, but itslil
contains the charm and talent that got him where he is today.
Jay-Z is also included in several other Grammy categories. Hii
appearance on Beyonce's “Crazy in Love” is nominated forBes
Rap/Sung Collaboration. In the same category, he is also nominate!
for his collaboration with the Neptunes on “Frontin’,” featuri
Pharrell Williams. His song “Excuse Me Miss” is also in the runniiE
for Best Rap Song.
Jay-Z has a way of combining the newer rap styles with someoi
the tried-and-true techniques and voices of past rappers that
him a good chance of winning a couple of awards.
