Great musical elements. Mediorce vocals.,
December 3, 2007
Alicia Keys is best when she is on the keyboards doing her thing. Her lack of vocal depth and upper range will keep her as a mid-range diva for the remainder of her career. I know what I am talking about because I have heard all the best there is on this earth. Living (Jill Scott), dead (Carmen Mcrae) and old (Dionne Warwick/Nancy Wilson)! Musically, the CD shines. The girl with the video friendly looks really is a musician more so than vocalist. She is really straining at times. So badly that I have to advance to the next track. My favorite song is track 10, "I Need You". So retro, so truly dead on soulful. Love it. I only wish this rest of the CD was like track 10. Number 7, "Wreckless Love" is the only other bright spot on this mix mash of music.
