ELISABETH WITHERS
BLUE NOTE
VIDEO: BE WITH YOU
RATING: 9/10
Even though I barely knew something about Elisabeth Withers before checking her cd, the first track Simple Things gave me a clue that I was listening a true talent.
This new R&B artist (signed to Blue Note Records, home of Norah Jones)
has a debut album that speaks by itself. She can sing sexy jams without
sounding Ciaraish and deliver emotional songs as well. What more can we
ask?! We maybe found the perfect competitor for Heather Headley.
I really couldn't found a track I disliked. The albums is not a
masterpiece, but to see albums like these released in January it's
fills me of big expectations of what's to come in 2007!
A lot of
songs are driven by guitars, which is amazing, considering that
nowadays in R&B we are used to the syhtns-produced beats.
Heartstrings, Listen, It Can Happen, Get Your Shoes On (My Jam!!) and Sweat are some of the amazing joints you will find in this amazing effort.

I got Eamon's new album Love & Pain! As always, I didn't check it properly but it doesen't seem to be a HOT album, I think I was expecting more cus I love Bring Him Home, but these comments are maybe wrong cus I only checked it once.
The album was released in some countries of Europe some time ago, the
States release date was pushed back due to the single poor reception.

I also got the advanced version of Marques Houston's third album Veteran.
I'd say half advanced cus only half of the tracks are indeed part of
the project. Anyways, get it cus there are some hot joint which are not
going to be on the album like the rockish Come And Get It Featuring Twista.
