"Contradictions" is a refreshing album and solid debut from Side F/X, a Washington, DC-based band. This self-produced album of original compositions will be hard to pigeonhole, though, for those hoping for a one-genre descriptor. It features straight-ahead rock tunes reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac in "Scattered" and "Never Forget," bluesy efforts such as "Her Escape," and then the moving and funky pop-tinged tribute to our troops - "My Hero."

What ties it all together is the soulful, seductive voice of vocalist and songwriter Kim Cameron, and first-rate backing instrumentals provided by the band. This is an album sure to appeal to anyone looking for a crisp, fresh sound featuring an up-and-coming singer, first-rate guitar work, and great percussive underpinnings.

Looking for a change from the Top 40? "Contradictions" is just the medicine for what ails you.

The Baby has arrived -- time for a shower!

Seems to me that the feeling of accomplishment that comes with the release of a fully produced CD (remember when we called them records?) is a lot like bringing a baby into the world.

First you have conception where you consider what your message will be and who you hope to impact. You have many months where you carefully nurture your new production -- knowing all the while that some things you can control and some things will be decided for you as your concept takes on a life of its own.

You'll make many trips to the experts to make sure you are on the path for a healthy delivery. There may be a few false labors that cause you to take a step back and regroup. But finally, labor will happen and no matter how difficult -- at the end you will have what you have waited and worked for.

Now is the time to allow the world to meet your baby. No Contradiction here -- this is a beautiful baby and THIS baby was born with the gift of reaching the spirits of the many people who will hear its life stories and of touching them in ways as yet unknown.
