5.0 out of 5 stars "SHE" won't fade away, October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: She (Audio CD)

The quality of songs in this album is tremendously

high, I must say. Included the new version of

"BLACK ON BLACK" from the movie "9 1/2 WEEKS."

This is one of albums you can listen to again and

again and AGAIN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Less Intense But Still Great From Start to Finish!, January 18, 2011

Lisa Dalbello's fifth album (and her second under the artistic moniker Dalbello) is another winner, although it's not as daring and unpredictable as the previous "Whomanfoursays". Here Dalbello tempers the deep, dark lyrics and mood with a slight pop sensibility. Many of the songs are more accessible to the average listener, yet still retain enough of an edge to not alienate those fans who fell in love with her based on "Whomanfoursays".

Dalbello's voice tears right through you on the best tracks, which include the fierce opener "Black on Black" with its lyrics about sex and religion; and the irressistibly atmospheric hit single "Tango", which is a masterpiece.

Some of the less-intense songs include "Baby Doll" with it's slower but steady groove; the bouncy "Talk to Me" should have been a big hit single; The horn-driven "Intimate Secrets" is an unusually perky departure; "Body and Soul" has gorgeous xylophone accents and immediately sounds tailor-made for a Heart cover version; "Immaculate Eyes" almost qualifies as '80s power-ballad material.

For those who were captivated by Dalbello's darker material this album doesn't offer as much but there's the moody "Danger, Danger" where she purrs over a finger-snapping chorus; the heavy guitar work and lyrics like "Swing your partner to the left and right" make "Imagination" sound like a hard-boiled Shania Twain; and a menacing intro on "Why Stand Alone".

The production on this album has more of a late '80s Europop sound reminiscent of Depeche Mode at times. It sounds a little more dated than its predecessor, but is still enjoyable from start to finish. Not the masterpiece that "Whomanfoursays" is, but still an excellent album from Dalbello. Highly recommended!

Talk about a voice and an amazing writing talent....this woman has it all! I swear, at times I thought I was listening to Jane Child (came out in 1990)...especially on Danger Danger. I think I now know where Jane Child got her influence from ;)
