Title: Soft is what it's all about
Review: Barbra does what she does best. She sings softly, articulating each syllable, hanging onto it as if it's more important than the meaning itself. I am certain that this album will make great seasonal background music. Unfortunately, with the exception of the last 2 tracks - 'Closer' and 'One God' - there is not much that is memorable here. For those of us who have waited long for this, it may be enough. But it lacks the energy and believability of her first album.
Is the review positive or negative?
