4.0 out of 5 stars A good reason why one review is not enough., April 19, 2004

I couldn't stand by and let this album get 1 star from just one reviewer.

I bought this album when the video for K.I.S.S.I.N.G. first showed on (I think it was on BET.)

Yes, it is heavy on drum machines and the like, but then, so was much of what Michael Jackson was doing at the time.

The songs on this album are as catchy as any MJ song. Siedah Garret has a naturally "growly" voice. Her voice is similar to Irene Cara from the movie FAME, but way better.

The true test of an album is whether or not you would buy it more than once. I wore the original cassette tape out, then bought it on CD and made a tape for my car from the CD.I still listen to it.

It might not be a 5-star album but it's definitely not a 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars the magic of music!, August 9, 2000

For those of you who are old enough to remember; I first saw this lady on soul train singing the tune "don't look any further"with former Temptation Dennis Edwards and was sightly smitten by her vocal abilities;this was in 1982, I was all but eleven years old but I still knew great talent When I saw and/or heard it. Do any of you music buffs remember a mid 80's late night video show called "new york hot tracks" ? Well this was the second time I caught a listen to this very talented lady,she had a video out for a hot club number entitled "do you want it right now"! This song was from the motion picture soundtrack to the movie "fast foward"! Well my fascination grew and I've been spellbound every since. From then on I started seeing her name on various cassettes that I would get as a background singer and finally I decided to do the imposible and try and contact this exceptional artist and struck gold! Not only did she send me an autogaphed picture;she called my house to let me know that the picture was on it's way! I was'nt at home at the time but she talked to my mother and sent her a little "post it" note on the picture that she sent to me! How's that! Anyway I have been a fan of this lady's talents for so long and I am so happy to finally get "kiss of life" on cd. I still have my cassette and it still plays well. You must take care of the classics no matter what form they're in.That's exactly what "kiss of life" is. If "groove of midnight" does'nt lift your sexual spirit then you are numb from the ears down. Another great track and possibly my personal favorite is "baby's got it bad" produced by the great rod temperton; and as you will see it gives you the same effect as micheal jacksons' "off the wall" and is just as good! It's one of those songs that you wish didn't have an end! And if rod produces a song you are going to "SING" it! And fnally "refuse to be loose", a funky "L.A. and Babyface" produced and penned classic. Try lstening to this tune while riding on public tranportation. (smile) All in all this is a great piece of ear candy as "siedah" calls it. Well worth a listen and many listens to come.and "SY" if you are reading this come on wit some new stuff girl!

Siedah was hot then, sings hot and will always be hot...The album never got the recognition that it deserved. Her voice is unique and she and Rod are fantastic writers, making so many good artists great...I will always be die-hard fan, love her...lee*
