- Daddy Yankee releases El Cartel: The Big Boss, the follow-up to his multi-platinum album Barrio Fino. We predict the album will be “the soundtrack of the summer.”
- Carribean R&B singer Rihanna’s third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, has “more feeling than any other R&B album in recent memory," according to Twisted Ear. Good Girl is a "thrilling throwback to more than a decade ago," and it "only goes bad when Rihanna tries her hand at treacly ballads and glum sentiment," qualifies Entertainment Weekly.
- Ex-Nappy Headz singer T-Pain is back with his second album, Epiphany, which gets three out of five stars from Rolling Stone for dishing out “another mix of shamelessly horny smoothies.” Gossip site Think2twice admits T-Pain can annoy “like a cockroach" but "[t]here is no denying his talents."
- Francisco “El Chico” Elizalde, carries on the legacy of his late brother Valentin with De un Elizalde para un Elizalde, which features songs Valentin used to blast out of his truck. The youngest of the Elizalde clan “shines on his own as a producer and vocalist,” according to Billboard.com, adding: “this homage shows a promising talent.”
- Marilyn Manson’s latest, Eat Me, Drink Me, is "far and away the best thing he’s ever done," but it's a "[p]ity no one’s bothered [to notice]," laments the UK’s The First Post. The Onion’s A.V. Club delivers a low blow: “[I]t’s a modernized version of Marilyn Manson: heavier guitar, a touch of neo-thrash, and some metalized Bravery-style new-wave pop."
