Negative Positive
Title: She's no Billie Holiday or Dinah Washington!
Review: I REALLY wanted to like this one. R&B music (my favorite genre) has, in my opinion, really been in a slump for many years. A fresh perspective in R&B was definitely welcome to me. Its nice to see a recording that definitely was not created soley to be played of VH1. I feel it still has a long way to go before it can be a 4 or 5 star album. With repeated listenings the songs get repetitive, and sometimes even annoying.Original reviews of Ms. Gray had her in the company of Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone etc. etc. If she is going to be compared to these greats, I will hold her to the same standards, and I dont see that she measures up. I will be interested to hear her follow up when it comes out, with her instant fame, she could greatly improve, or attempt to produce "On How Life is, Volume II"... I'll be waiting, n the meantime I'll be listening to Billie.
Is the review positive or negative?
