Title: Not Quite There...
Product review: While Amel is a versatile musical stylist, I would be off base and incorrect if I pegged this as a shining moment in her career. I love her voice, the melody, and her foray into something a little different, but I found the CD monotonous after a while. I'll admit that there were some standout tracks ("Younger Than Springtime", "I Like the Sunrise" and "If I were a Bell") but overall the songs blended together and were indecipherable. While I love Amel and jazz is second nature to me, I am not quite sure if I am in love with this CD just yet. It gets better the more I listen but it isnt as melodically attractive as her previous offerings. I'll give her a nod for attempting something out of the box though..I sure wouldnt want to hear Beyonce or Alicia Keys attempt these same songs!
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
