4.0 out of 5 stars Another good artist who should be recognized, September 17, 2003

This review is from: Hear Me (Audio CD)

I'm the owner of the 1st version of this release. After seeing her open up for "Res" (her show was much better)in Atlanta a fews years back, I had this CD in my collection the next day. Yet, another former back-up singer for "Erykah Badu" (if you seen the Bag Lady video, she's the dark, slim, sexy one), Yahzarah has stepped up and done her own thang'. You should expect nothing more than just good music from this artist.... like you would from any other back-up singer of Badu. Blackstar is the stand-out track on this CD, but songs like: Guillotine, Natural, Feel Me and Same Page are not to be over looked.

yall know my taste by now.... this one taste real good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the promotion????, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Hear Me (Audio CD)

I bought this CD bootleg at a concert, but if I could find it in stores (which I can't) I would gladly give the sister her well-deserved royalties! This CD is excellent; the 'next' button never gets touched while Yahzarah is in rotation. You can hear Erykah Badu's influence in her music, but she is good in her own right. She plays her voice like an instrument, especially in "Love Is." Another nice rainy-day ballad is "Natural," and she also does well with more upbeat songs like "Friday" and "Nova." But the best songs are the mellow, mid tempo ones--"Blackstar," "Guillotine," and my very favorite, "Urgency." The only problem with that one is it's too short, more like an interlude than an actual song. Overall, you won't be disappointed with this one. I just wish she was getting more recognition...her music doesn't deserve to become another underrated and slept on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb CD, March 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hear Me (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD over a year ago (just on whim). It was the best money I had spent in some time. This CD is so phenomenal that it's caused me to write a review for the very first time. This CD is not to be slept on. Musically and lyrically, HEAR ME is just on another level. And this woman's voice is exquisite. Whether singing softly and sweetly on the beautiful track "Love Is" or hitting some of the highest notes this side of Chaka Khan on the soul-rock tune "Babylove", this woman has all the goods. The music is extremely soulful and funky, but the lyrics just blew me away. On "Rooftop", she sings about running away with her drug-dealing boyfriend ("Gotta leave in a hurry. Gotta pack my bags. Gotta call my mama and tell her that I won't be back."). And on "Feel Me", she's putting the moves on a brotha ("Don't let this opportunity pass you by, and watch another man be good to me."). Over a year later, this CD is still in heavy rotation in my CD player. Definitely a can't-miss classic!!
