3.0 out of 5 stars
Bien Hecho, August 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hecho a Mano (Audio CD)
My theory is that if you own more than ten CDs,
then one or two of them should be by Albita.
On Hecho a Mano her unusual, entrancing voice is
as good as ever. This is a more intimate, jazzy
sound than most of her previous work. The mix of
voice and instruments allows her voice to come
through clearly.
All of the songs were written by Albita. This is
a problem. The songs are good, but not great.
Most of the songs, in one way or another, are
saying the same thing over and over again:
"I want to love you. Let me love you." This is
fine, I guess, if you can pretend that Albita is
singing to you. However, on this album she calls
her lover a "little woodland flower," which will
probably make it difficult for many men to
pretend that she is singing to them. Also, this
continual begging and pleading makes Albita
herself sound lonely and desperate.
Fifty minutes of fun. The lyrics are included in
the album notes.

THIS CD IS THE BEST OF WHAT ALBITA IS ALL ABOUT. I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE HER MAKING THE MUSIC SHE LOVES. IT IS APPARENT THAT HER GIFT TO CREATE IS IN HER BLOOD.

Saw Albita at the Birchmere in VA last night. Her new songs do not disappoint. Her voice has great range and incredible power.
GREAT MUSIC!
