5.0 out of 5 stars This is my Old Skool Love, August 9, 2005

This review is from: Divine Brown (Audio CD)

I am completely in love with this album. It is such a welcomed change to hear REAL soul music come from a Canadian artist. Divine Brown joins the ranks of other soulsters including Alicia Keys, Angie Stone, Musiq, Anthony Hamilton et al.

The first track and single 'Old Skool Love' takes the listener back about 30 years to a time when soul music was prevalent on the airwaves with a pleading and yearning melody. Just listen to the lyrics - "still miss that Old Skool Love/not quite the do-right love/your love was fine/but never on time"...brilliant!

Brown's rendition of Joni Mitchell's 'Help Me' is nothing short of exquisite. Other standout tracks include 'You Hooked Me All Night Long', 'Another Affair', 'Without You', 'Something Bout You' and 'Warrior'. The whole album is a treat for soul music lovers everywhere.

I hope this album picks up momentum in the United States and around the world. I don't want to be a pessimist but my fear is that this album will be underrated and underappreciated in Canada. This is too good an album to let slide through the cracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but love, July 9, 2005

This review is from: Divine Brown (Audio CD)

Divine Brown's self titled debut album is one of this years best kept secrets. From the hugely popular and opening track "Old Skool Love" to the closing "Warrior" this release takes you on a very enjoyable voyage.

Divine's lyrics and vocal arrangements are a welcome change to Jessica Simpson and sister(s) overproduced pop tracks. If you are lookinf for good old R&B with a commanding voice and presence that sends chills down your spine, click order and enjoy

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Divine Brown (Audio CD)

now here's a true talent present in the music industry. The girl can sing great, has good songwriting and instrument playing skills. This is true r&b with an old school vibe to it.
