I was excited to listen to another Aussie R&B singer doing well... until I heard her album.Felicia Alima's album Know Me, features mostly boring music coupled with a vocal style that sounds like a direct rip off of Ciara. It is very hard to take this album seriously. In fact, her opening song Know Me starts exactly the same way lyrically as Ciara’s massive single “, 2, Step. I wouldn’t say the album is completely awful. I mean, I did find one track that I dug. The fourth track on the album I’m Down is an acoustic guitar inspired bouncy club-friendly joint featuring rapper Phoenix. Unfortunately, two tracks later she rips off Prince’s classic When Doves Cry for the flow of the song.For the rest of this review check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_felicia_alima_know_me

You may have noticed that an inordinate number of Toronto guys are now sporting staches. It's no coincidence: men around the world have come together this month for Movember, a multi-national moustache campaign that originated in Australia and raises money for a number of diseases and conditions that affect men. For the duration of the four-week campaign, participating males grow moustaches and ask their friends and co-workers to donate to charities in return for interminable jokes and mockery. Here in Canada, the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation has been designated as the campaigns primary beneficiary partner, but other charities have also been involved and more are encouraged to join. Now that it's the last week of the month, men who have endured raillery during the growth phase of their endeavours are proudly showing off the products of their hard work. While this facial hair may be passed over in younger neighbourhoods of Toronto, a good stache simply does not get missed downtown. And it isn't hard
