5.0 out of 5 stars Sony must have been on crack..., December 10, 2005

By	R. Washington "Superbizzee" (Gotham, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Man, this record was definitely a breath of fresh air when it came out in the summer of '99. I remember going to see her open for Lenny Kravitz on his Live '99 tour after this album was released. So many different elements at play here, but none seem to intrude each other's space or compromise the integrity of the project. DAMN, this is a great album! Sony must have been either too coked up or funneling too many dollars into Mariah's 'Rainbow' album (which also came out that year) to promote this record. I was working at a record store when this was released. When I saw the record company wasn't promoting it, I just opened a copy and started playing it. One Saturday, I kept it on repeat in the store and sold 30 copies! Hope she comes back with a follow up soon. This definitive piece formally separates Cree Summer from her crazy Freddie character from A Different World and Elmyra from Tiny Toons. Destined to be an obscure collectors item and sonic gem. Ok, I think I've said enough....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant, Little known masterpiece, September 12, 2000

By	Lululu (Howell NJ) - See all my reviews

Cree Summer an artist i saw for the first time on the Lenny Kravitz/Black Crows/ Everlast tour last summer. Cree was amazing and in my mind stole the show. Her cd Street Faerie is one of the best cd's i ever heard. It ranges in style from the soulful r and b styled Soul Sister to the angry, venemous, and hard hitting Curious White Boy. Cree displays a magical element on Miss Moon and Revelation Sunshine. I hope Cree Summer is an artist that will see much success in the future because she has a lot of talent to share with the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Street Faerie' is a Revelation, May 9, 2000

By	Y. Collins "yodi1" (Fairfax, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I heard that 'Different World'-alum Cree Summer was going to release her debut album, I was excited about her foray into singing. I am delighted to report I haven't been disappointed. 'Street Faerie' is fine wine for the ears and chocolate for the female spirit, and from the very first note, too. Cree Summer is a sprite, a nymph, a goddess, and 'Street Faerie' is her specialized fairy dust. Through it, she weaves a potent spell, and I am hereby spellbound. I give my highest possible recommendation for 'Street Faerie' and blessed kudos to the woman behind it, who can also currently be heard doing time as the voice of an M&M in their latest radio spots.
