5.0 out of 5 stars Thought I didnt like it as much at first, what did I know, December 28, 1999

Music fun in NYC "fun in NYC" (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Deep (Audio CD)

I had already bought her previous CD, (called Don't Ask) which I absolutely loved. When I found out she had made another CD(she does not get played on American Radio)while searching, I made sure I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon.

At first I listened and thought I did not like it as much as the first CD. Then I listened to it again while at work, and then again at home, and then some more in the car and couldn't help but love this CD. She seems to put such feeling into the songs that you know exactly what she means.

Her songs sound so honest and true like she has actually felt and lived the songs and while the listenter is right there appreciating every note and lyric.

All I can say is if you enjoy good vocals, good songwriting and and an excellent album then you should own this CD and the one before it.

Her music is a mixture of Pop, Country, Soul and Gospel that is hard to describe. (That description is as close as I could get.) She uses arrangements that remind you of country music while having background singers harmonizing like a choir, while her voice has soulful sound that most singers on the radio (Teenybopper mouse club alumni) wish they had as they are just mouthing words someone made up for them about feelings they never had and they sing so insincerely.

I really hope she gets a breakthrough hit and gets to make a video or some other medium that let's her truly get known here in the states. She really deserves it.

Anyone who thinks this CD is not that good should play it again without any bias and just listen to the music. Everyone can find themselves on this album

P.S. On this album she has a duet with Marc Anthony that makes him sound even better than he does on his own album. A really epic-sounding kind of love song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but sadly under-appreciated, June 21, 2000

Tina Arena's obscurity is a tragedy. She leaves Celine for dead! This album is truly magnificent and yielded 4 singles in Australia. The first, "Burn" is a great track showcasing Tina's awesome vocal range. "If I didn't love you" is a great pop song represents the hardships of love. "Now I can dance" is my favourite and has a great chorus and meaningful lyrics. Its an inspirational song about achieving your goals. Even in Australia, this album was underdone. It DID still reach number 1 which is great. In the US however, radio turned its back on her preferring the meaningless pop dominating the airwaves. Her duet with Marc Anthony should be released in the US again. Its amazing. Its a shame that Tina had to resort to singing in French to get some recognition

Buy this album and support real aussie music

5.0 out of 5 stars Chin up, Not everyone in the is blind and deaf, August 27, 1999

[e-mail] (Nashville, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Deep (Audio CD)

I remember seeing Tina on VH1 2 years ago performing "chains". I was working in my home and I heard this voice. From that day on, she was "DIVA". I found out about her latest CD by accident. One of the local radio stations mentioned it. They also mentioned the fact that she was an incredible singer that did not take off in the U.S. and what a shame that was. It's ironic however, everyone I've played her music for has asked, "who is she, where is she and why don't I hear more of her". I purchased it about a month ago. From the first sound of her voice I knew, "yep, she's still DIVA". The mood it different, almost reflective with a sense of recovery from something. It's obvious from this CD, life has been very intense for this young lady. In this country, as everywhere I suppose, problems exist. It is unfortunate so many in the U.S. shy away from truth and honesty. Her music speaks of the core instead of touching on the surface and just looking at the pretty parts. I recently found an online music site that had a bio of her. I felt a true sense of pride knowing how well her music has been received in other countries. I've been performer since childhood. The world is missing out on true artists and the contributions they can make to the human spirit. TO TINA: As was said to me by someone in the audience one night when I "didn't" get a time slot after a live local(dive) Blues night club audition; "Chin up", he said: "Not everyone is blind to the artist's intent or deaf to their symphony". I laughed. Then opened in his club the next week which was on the main strip in Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks Tina, its been a long time since I've been able to turn on the music and find my life in someone else's words. If the day comes she doesn't sell her recordings in the US, I'd buy a ticket to Australia just to get them for myself. A Rose To The DIVA.
