5.0 out of 5 stars Soul for soul conoisseurs, April 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossing the Line (Audio CD)

Quality music and probably one of the best albums of mid-tempo soul out now. Original words with real musicians moving away from stereotypical sound which so much infiltrates soul music. A definite must for the real connoisseurs. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome album!, May 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossing the Line (Audio CD)

How can you get enough of this amazing album? Bearde's voice is a combination of sensuous and penetrating--why have we not heard more from him?

I shared one of the songs (Miracle Lover) with a friend in Paris, who asked me to send more! So I am sending a copy to her.

CORRECTION: My apologies to anyone who saw my previous "star" rating for this CD; I ACCIDENTALLY gave it only two stars. I definitely meant to give it FIVE. So, here is the correction, and my comment, now that I've had a couple of weeks more to listen to it, is that it is SUPERB! It has tracks that remind me, of course, of Bill Withers and Jon Lucien. But, I also hear a little Luther, and the Whispers, and - I don't know, maybe even some James Moody or Billy Eckstine. There are that many styles on this CD.

It actually took me over three years to get my hands on this CD. I first started paying attention to it around 1999, which was kind of late to look for it in record stores - so I couldn't find it. After a while, I stopped looking, until recently when I was having heavy thoughts about that special lady it always reminded me of. I was looking for a Masekela CD on Amazon.com, when I decided: "hey, why not take another shot at Nicolas Bearde" and there it was. I bought it immediately, received it fast, and I can't stop playing it. I alternate between putting different songs on repeat mode - so many beautifully inspiring numbers to listen to. It was well worth the wait and the price.
