Vol. 29 of the ubiquitous
Now! series is a musical snapshot of mid-2008, comprised of 20 singles that were released during the spring, summer, and early fall of that year. Songs by the likes of
Katy Perry,
Lil Wayne, and
Leona Lewis certainly don't illustrate the American climate during 2008 -- the economic downturn, the whirlwind presidential election, etc. -- but they do capture the state of mainstream American radio, from the hard-edged sounds of
Saving Abel to the family-friendly
pop of
Leona Lewis and
Jordin Sparks. As with most
Now! compilations, this album will lose its relevance as time progresses, rendering the bulk of these songs irrelevant. Tunes like
Pink's
"So What" and
Rihanna's
"Disturbia" feature more staying power than most, however, and they add weight to what is otherwise a light, harmless offering of
pop,
rock, and
contemporary country hits.
