Awesome Song!, July 27, 2002
As I've said before.... Vanessa is not a wannabe. She's not a reflection of Alicia Keys. So don't judge her before you hear her. Vanessa's got a real deep passion for her music. Just listen to Twilight, it's live too on this CD-single. Listen as she pours her heart out as she plays her piano and sings. Vanessa of course, left the impression that after
releasing "A Thousand Miles" the rest of her songs would have the same weight. If you haven't heard her CD "Be Not Nobody" then I'll explain what I'm talking about. "A Thousand Miles" is more lively and vibrant with the orchestral background, but once you listen to "Twilight" her music has also got a dark side. It's just her voice and her piano. When I heard this song, I just had to learn it, because I also play piano. Sure it was easy to learn but
it's not like it's easy to come up with the tune of a song and then come up with the melodies. It really can be complicated, So she really does deserves the credit for her awesome talent in composing. The "Wanted" remix is cool, but I don't really like the song, but it's still great. It's mostly her voice but has cool background. Kind of like an urban edged sound. Makes you think you're in the jungle or something, LOL Hey, for once someone's got pure classical music with their certain edge to it, playing on our radios. Well the song "A Thousand Miles" anyway, if that's the only song you like by her. Just give her music a chance, you might find that "A Thousand Miles" is as enjoyable as any other song...
