POWERFUL VOICES.......2006-02-28
Good selection of vocal works for the newcomer, some light, some heavy.
Best discovery in music in a quite some time........2005-07-08
All that I can say is, "Wow".
Since that time I have purchased this CD for myself and as gift to three other music lovers; all of which have offered me their gratitude.
It is not very often that a musical experience of skill and talent surfaces. They hold us within the magic of voice, combined with musical stanzas and lyric, and the chemistry of TEAMWORK.
The gentlemen excel in such offerings as Vangelis' "Conquest of Paradise", "World Anthem", and the melancholy Irish "Thunderpoint", which sends chills down my spine.
If I can choose one group to open the next Olympics celebration it is The Ten Tenors.
I can only hope that they broaden their US tour.
I can also only hope that they continue to produce and record more albums.
Bravo

This all said, the CD contains a bonus DVD disc, which in my opinion blows away the CD. Not that it's as well produced; however, you need to see these 10 guys interact to get the idea of how good they are. Their faces express the emotion, as all 10 of them work together to take you across various musical genres. Their interaction is what makes them special, which is why I say, "Buy this CD for the DVD"
very good.......2005-07-04
"brilliant arrangements and performances ~ The Ten Tenors".......2004-10-23
Students in 1995 studying opera classics, they performed in 1998 while attending the University and began touring...haven't stopped since ~ their individuality and comradeship with close touching harmony will soon grab you and never let go ~ outstanding performances "STONDE" [Patrick Abrial/Jean Marc Grossi/Thierry Micaelli], beautiful beyond words, "POR UNA CABEZA" [Carlos Gardel/Alfredo Le Para], the tango from the film "Scent Of A Woman", the vocal is extraordinary, "SUNDANCE" [Andy Arthurs/Philip Chambon], folk genre beat with tempos that get completely under your skin, terrific arrangements by the composer, "DESTINY LIES" [Craig Atkinson/Stewart Morris], lead vocal by Jason Turbull reads like a Top Ten New Age Hit, full orchestra and chorus abound ~ "CONQUEST OF PARADISE" [Vangelis], non stop harmony and brilliant orchestration with the full voices of The Ten Tenors, enough power to light up a big city block ~ "BICYCLE RACE" [Freddie Mercury], the ultimate big hit of Queen, brilliant arrangements by Shannon Brown and Drew Graham.
If you love classical and outstanding vocals by young talent, then this one has your name on it...watch out world here comes some of the best of the best around today...hats off to Rhino and Warner Bros. for this one of a kind release...hope to see more of the same...piano, arranger and synthesizer by Steven Baker..the DVD is really a trip and a half...great job by one and all ~ The Ten Tenors

Ahead of her time!.......2006-12-12
TYPICAL 90'S BEAT.......2006-10-18
Jody steps up her game.......2006-04-22
She continued in 1989 with her followup LP "Larger Than Life". Here, there is a bit more emphasis on the "new jack" sound in which popular R&B was currently residing. Jody manages to infuse it her typical "high fashion" style, delivering odes to independence, "real love" (no pun intended), & just being who you are.
Musically, again helmed by Andre Cymone, the "new jack" sound as stated permeates the record. So along with the more dance oriented cuts (i.e.-"Come Into My Life"), cuts such as "L.O.V.E.R." & "Friends" exude a hip hop attitude. Bouncy beats & some skittering synths, & uses of some interesting sampling all work quite well together. The latter song, which features guest raps by Eric B. & Rakim, was the first of it's kind. Why some tried to credit Mariah Carey with this, Jody was the first mainstream R&B female artist to feature a hip hop act on a cut.
Vocally, Jody's smoky & enthralling voice continues to get better. She manages to steer ballads such as the cool "Everything". Alternating between sassy spoken word & soulful phrasing, as on the lead single "Real Love" Jody sounds very fresh & enthused.
Once again, the look of the record was VERY ahead of it's time. You can see where Jody Watley's high fashion execution in her music & look would be felt & used by acts such as En Vogue, Destiny's Child, Amerie, Brandy, Aaliyah, the list goes on. I really saw the inspiration in Amerie's "1 Thing" video, which to me recalled elements of the "Real Love" video.
I highly recommend the "Larger Than Life". It is definitely more than just a nostalgia piece. For those who can appreciate older musical textures, this record has held up well. Only maybe a small percentage of the tracks really don't go anywhere, but work within the context of the record well. This is one of my favorite Jody Watley albums & hopefully it'll become yours as well.
Pretty Good .......2005-11-28
Real love, everybody needs one-gotta have real love.......2005-08-04
Yet, fate has cruel a way of repeating itself. "Real Love" was another #2 pop hit, but an R&B chart-topper. The culprit this time was fellow dancemeister Paula Abdul with "Forever Your Girl." There was no way "Real Love" could've failed to top. Still, another outstanding Watley song. And like "Looking For A New Love," there is an extended version of the single, with the repeated "ohh ohh ahh" refrain, brisk horns, and some excerpts from "New Love" included.
She gets help from Eric B & Rakim on "Friends," on how some people pretend to be friends, and how it's hard to find friends due to jealousy, envy, and the fact that friends often won't tell what they're thinking. As she sings, "Friends will let you down, friends won't be around. You need them most of all friends. Friends are hard to find, friends yours and mine." This #9 danceable pop hit, featuring some old school scratching, really tells it like it is.
Then comes the #4 ballad "Everything" and she doesn't do too bad a job here, on the only song not written by Watley and Cymone. The other ballad she does here, "Only You," has brief keyboards bursts akin to Spandau Ballet's "True" and either ballad would've done great as a single despite her lack of range. No, she's still got a smoky and sexy ambience whenever she sings ballads, and that's good too.
Examples of the energetic higher gear of dance include "What'cha Gonna Do For Me" with its overlapping drum machines, synths, and the shouted "what! what!" before the title is sung. However, the mid-paced ballad "Precious Love" stalled at #87 and given the other songs here, isn't a singleworthy candidate. Why not "Lifestyle," which starts with some slow Giorgio Moroder-like synths before boom!, going into high gear dance with those catchy drums and synths combo? It's a party in full swing, this song. Or why not the equally vivacious "Once You Leave"? "Come Into My Life" with its initial pounding percussion beats and funky bass instrumentation is yet another single candidate.
There are a few filler tracks in the midsection, but it comes back to life beginning with "Something New." Yet the album is more polished and skilled than her debut, and Larger Than Life shows an artist and producer tightening things and ratcheting the dance rhythms to a higher gear while still in the non-techno zone.

Allfrumtha I: the next OutKast?.......2005-05-17
Aft I's introduction is that of any Eminem album, declaratory yet humorous. Their first song "Runnin' This" shows their courage not only with bold lyrics, but also with an electrically charged background, and then the album proceeds to the club-ready hit "Lil' Momma." "Can't Get Enuff" revives their static vibe and adds an ingenious funk to create one gritty tune. Aft I take over the world soon after in their victorious "Hero;" "Why They Wanna Keep Me Down" appends Latin to Aft I's list of genres to cover, giving listeners another song to duly praise. Also, their lyrical content is admirable, as they stray from the common vulgarities found in mainstream hip hop and aim for cleaner, more inspirational tunes.
In contrast, Aft I sometimes prove too audacious in their experimentation. For example, in their song "Larger Than Life," they try too hard to add diversity while overlooking one serious flaw: the wholly flat bass line, which distracts listeners from an otherwise decent song. "Pump Ya Fist" though upright on its own, is merely average after hearing its predecessors, and "Cognac"'s smooth groove is unfortunately countered by its undeniable simplicity. "Dangerous" while somewhat imaginative is overly synthesized and could use a dramatic violin accompaniment - something to contrast the backbeat better than that worn-out synthesizer. "Iz U Wit It" furthers this same downfall of Aft I and by the time one makes it to "12 Bars," it seems the duo has fizzled out.
Overall, while Allfrumtha I may have succeeded in creating one truly "Larger Than Life" album, at times, their excitement to create a whole new world leads them to see their songs as a whole, rather than focusing on important details that could make their songs sound so much more proficient. In the end though, Binky Mac and Squeak Ru finally generated an album that will truly leave a mark on listeners and hopefully earn them the recognition they've been working so hard to attain.
