Editorial Reviews

Stylin' Up is a truly unique album, melding Christine's culturally diverse musical styles with David Bridie's lush strings and cinematic atmospheres. While there's almost always some kind of dance beat present in the songs, this isn't a dance album. It seems almost beyond being placed in a particular genre, and is so full of life and warmth that it's impossible to convey in text the aural delights that are contained within. Certainly "Island Home", a single which preceded the album and which is included on it, is the song of the year. Mushroom. 2004.

I First heard Christine sing "Island home" at the closing ceremonies at the Olympic Games. This song garbbed my attention and kept me there through out the entire thing, it has a great beat and its a beautiful song. By far one of my favorite songs. Im anxouisly awaiting a new cd.

I first became aware of Christine Anu through RENT when she played Mimi in the Australian cast of RENT. Here she doesn't disappoint by turing in a richly textured CD full of soul, funk, and wonderfully simple yet beautiful lyrics. "Island Home" is a great example of the type of song this artist turns out. Anu has a silky voice that moves over many delicate notes and raises some of the tunes to powerful heights. "Wanem Time" really gets you going and I like to listen to it right away in the morning. Bu this CD, it only makes it more clear that foreign artists really turn out proudct with quality that you don't find in the US. It is pure, unconventialized music that make "stylin'" listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diverse fusion, superb talent, great dance music, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stylin Up (Audio CD)

A wonderfully honest mix of eclectic electric, spunky funk, rap riff, and mystic chant in rich rhythms, subtle overlays, and compelling beats; a beautiful blend of contemporary and traditional, rock and romance, epic and folk. Displaced island sprite, Christine Anu, pours an ocean of heart into the listener's soul. Exceedingly original, exceptionally danceable. Christine & Co., please send more!
