This
album is presented as rhythm and blues. I feel it is jazz. SO I am
left with a wonderment as to what is the difference between the two
genres.
At
any rate, Vanessa Williams has a very elegant picture on the cover, and
the music is just that, very elegant. However, most of the songs are
long and drawn out. There were a couple songs I liked more than others,
mostly because they had more character and energy. “Loving You” uses a
swear word and faster tempo to give it some emotion, and it works.
“Come on Strong” uses a bass riff at the fist which sets the mood for
the entire song, and this is my favorite. “Close to You” has a very
nice lyric. This song also has a section in Spanish talking about how
many tear, which I like. “October Sky” is a duet with Javier Colon
which is also very nice. However most of the songs are forgettable
tunes with a strong jazz flavor. If you love Vanessa Williams, or enjoy
this type of music then this is a good CD. However for me, it gets old
fast.
