The language in most music magazines is positive and promotes the band it is talking about. The language is informal and is mainly addressed to the ready directly and will ask the reader questions rhetorically. Also the reader will be able to have their own say, this is because magazines allow people to write in and comment on whatever they like in an article as long as it is appropriate. The headings are there to catch the readers attention in a bold font, the sub heading explains more about the story and is still captivating.
Here is an article from the music magazine 'Top Of The Pops'
'Lily Allen
Now we're talking - every Big Brother, whether celebrity or civilian, needs a firebrand, and that's where Lily comes in. Reading her celebrity smackdowns on her blog are all well and good, but how could that possibly compare to the brilliance of seeing them live(ish)?'
This shows the informal language of magazines and the use of rhetorical questions, also they include pictures of the celebrity they are talking about.
What do you mean when you say that "the reader will be able to have their own say"??In an article??? What you quote is not an "article" (note spelling) but an extract from an article! You need a reflection on what you hope to achieve in terms of the style of your own article at the end of this post.
