4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Covers, May 16, 2007

I have to admit, I am not sure what concept I am "over" more...."DUETS" or "Covers".....so while I was happy to learn that Miss Williams had a new on it's way, when I saw it was remakes (Aka Covers) I sighed....
Shanachie first gave us Miki Howard's covers, then it was Vesta's and now it's Deneice. (can Cherrelle and Stephaine Mills be far behind???) and I think this is best of the bunch. Production is very good, and she sounds a good as ever. So, while it would be nice to have a NEW cd with NEW songs, this is a Cd that I very much enjoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars You'll Love Niecy's Style!, June 26, 2007

The songstress that brought you smash hits like "Silly" and "Let's Hear It For The Boy" resurfaces into the R&B world after having a number of years devoted to gospel music. Deniece Williams' new album Love, Niecy Style is a collection of reworked classics and an entirely new track to prove she's still got what it takes to belt out a jammin' track. She starts off with her rendition of Baby Washington's "That's How Heartaches Are Made" with help from Stevie Wonder on harmonica to bring it all together. Philip Bailey lends an assist by doing his signature background ad-libs for her interpretation of the Earth Wind and Fire classic "Love's Holiday." Deniece shines on "This Time I'll Be Sweeter," her tribute to the late Gwen Guthrie who originally wrote the song. She then sings her heart out on the Stevie Wonder tune "If You Really Love Me" and Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free" before doing a knockout performance of "Cherish" by Kool And The Gang. George Benson joins her for her version of his song "Lady Love Me (One More Time)." She closes out the album strong with the brand new ballad "The Only Thing Missing Is You," a stellar rendition of Luther Vandross' "Never Too Much," and a re-recorded version of her own song "Cause You Love Me, Baby." Fans will enjoy the mix of songs as well as the arrangement of the tracks on this album. After listening to Love, Niecy Style, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind that Deniece Williams can still throw down when it comes to singing R&B

Thank God we have a new release from Ms. Deniece Williams. I do wish it was new material. Seems many artists are returning these days using the approach of doing covers of old songs.

The good thing is she manages to make each song her own and her voice soars with the intensity, beauty and emotion the same as early in her career. She's STILL GOT IT !!!

"This Time I'll Be Sweeter" is the standout for me and is one of her best vocal interpretations ever. I must give the cd 4 stars for beings covers does make it a little less fresh and the length of only 42 minutes is a jip. No cd should be this short in this day and age.

But certainly bring Niecy back into your life and ENJOY !!!
