5.0 out of 5 stars The One That Started it All..., September 28, 2002

By

This review is from: Faith Evans (Audio CD)

This is the debut album from Faith Evans. Hailed as the First Lady of Sean Combs' Bad Boy label, Evans is blessed with a voice that elevates her above much of her cookie-cutter, hip hop soul peers. It'd be easy to dismiss her debut as a collection of flash-in-the-pan, trendy r&b, but the album is far better--and deeper--than you think. From start to finish, the album soars as a solid album of street-savvy soul, and remains surprisingly consistent. Evans pulls it off well in the mid-tempo "No Other Love;" she holds her own against Mary J. Blige in their cover of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," and she shines in the funked-up "You Used to Love Me." But the song that helps "Faith" earn its 5 stars is the killer ballad "Reasons," a sap-free love song in which Evans gives nothing less than her 100%. Some female singers have the looks; others wear the clothes, and some have the right producers. But Evans has the voice, which is good enough to help make "Faith" a solid, winning debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Contempory Timeless Classic, January 10, 2005

This album is so amazing from beginning to end. Like another reviewer stated, this album is almost 10 years old and you can pick up this cd and play it like it was just released. It is rare that an album is so strong all the way down to the last song on the cd. My favorites are Love Don't Live Here ANymore, Reasons, Don't Be Afraid, YOu DOn't Understand, Used to Love Me, and Come Over. There is nothing I would change about this album. If you don't have this cd in your collection please pick it up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still ill, May 25, 2000

Faith Evans' debut is not only one of my most prized albums, but one of the very best I have ever purchased. Anyone sleeping on this joint needs to wake up; Five years (an eternity in music) after its release it's still excellent and extremly listenable. Chock full of ballads, power ballads and mid-tempo jams, anyone who considers themselves an R&B fan and doesn't have this album needs to get with it. While I would consider "Come Over," "Soon As I Get Home," "No Other Love," and "Give It To Me" to be highlights, they aren't the only jems, and to be sure this is an album you can play start to finish. Simply put, anyone who wants to invest in a quality R&B album needs to check this out.
