**I still don’t understand Paris Hiltons involvement with the record business. She is a brand and is paid substantial dollars for personal appearances. As far as record sales, this does not help her brand, not that it will weaken it. It’s more or less the moral factor: embarrassing. Stick to what your good at it.
Falling Away
Crossfade
TW 9,493

**Remember Crossfade? The band that wrote the big single “Cold” that landed them on top 40 radio which resulted in a platinum record. Not this time. This is called a sophomore slump. “Hits” cure cancer.
I sense a biased opin against “Nu-Metal” Acts on this site.

For once I disagree with KOAR. The Crossfade album is solid with a tone of potential hits, I say give it time or a second single. I have not seen a push from the lable either. Don’t count them out yet.

I’ve heard two new Crossfade songs on the radio and here are my impressions: Overall the songs lacked clarity and a strong hook. By the time the chorus is over I’m confused on what I’m supposed to be able to hang on to. Cold was a lyrical and musical hook that easily grabbed people’s attention. The songs I’ve heard lack a decisive melody and are weighted down by wordy lyrics. My opinion only. They are strong and savy songwriters, so I was a little surprised. But this is typical when a band has 10 yrs to write their record, and 1 year to write their next. I’m willing to bet if given a chance and time they’ll make a great third record. And to clarify, I’m only looking at this from a radio single standpoint. The songs I heard seemed more like album cuts rather than radio singles. Album cuts are just as important to add depth to a record, but are usually not the easiest sell over the radio.
