This review is from: Life at 360 Degrees (Audio CD)

OMG this cd it hitting every level. If you picked up her last cd, Life at 360 Degrees is an extension of creative muse. She singing more about love, life, and family. Karen starts from the begining when she wrote her first song to were she is in her life. She sings about life lessons, those friends who want to be around you for one reason and those that are true friends. Karen throws in some grown folks groves with "Subway Love Games" and "Comfort Zone." "Tell Em Let Em Know" jumps out at you and right off the bat you want to sing along. The highlight for me on this cd was the African Chant (Roots of Nature) when Karen picks a song she made up sitting in her moma's kitchen. This is a solo piece with vocals and percussion, but I felt like Sweet Honey and the Rock had adopted this Brooklyn base Diva. There is a certain spirituality in Karen voice that I love. She tend to sound like she is speaking to the gods, and they've sent her a message to let everyone know that its alright to "do you and be you".

This review is from: Life at 360 Degrees (Audio CD)

This singer brings a certain realness to her music, mostly resorting to uncomplicated lyrics and a strong vocal range to get her message across to the listener. Many have never heard of her music, but Karen Bernod has been around the block a few times in her ever-growing music career. She has sung background for the likes of D'angelo, Erykah Badu, and Mary J. Blige, but she was also a featured vocalist for three songs on Incognito's No Time Like The Future as well as in concert for the group. Karen released her debut album Some Othaness For U back in 2000 and now returns to bless us with the outstanding Life @ 360 Degrees. The lounge feeling of "You" is welcoming, "Hair I Am" is cool in its delivery, and "Subway Love Game" is a carefree tale that illustrates that love can present itself anywhere. Her best work on here has to be the sultry "Comfort Zone," an enthralling escapade that is sung with the senses in mind. "Tell Em Let Em Know" is a feel-good groove, along with the pleasurable "Truth Iz" and the equally gratifying "Love Is." The same sentiments can be said about the introspective approach of "Dreamer" and "Family" where Karen shares some of her own thoughts and aspirations. Anybody seriously looking for a soul album that is nearly solid throughout, Life @ 360 Degrees is definitely your best bet. If you do some searching, you should be able to find the U.S. Version of this album for a lot cheaper.
