2.0 out of 5 stars Change brings diappointment, March 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Urban World Music (Audio CD)

I love Hiroshima. They have a very special sound that is both unique and endearing. That is why I was very diappointed with this CD. I think they tried to do something different which is okay but when you lose who you are it is going too far. I hope Hiroshima learns from this. I don't expect them to keep playing the same music all the time but I do expect them to remember why they have such loyal fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Solid Album 4.5 stars!, May 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Urban World Music (Audio CD)

I don't understand how others could have given this album anything less than 4 stars!

Please note the title of the album is URBAN world music so it's a bit of a departure from their usual sound. There is a light tinge of R&B in many (but not all) of the songs.
The lead vocalist has a beautiful and full voice.

#6 Love How You Love Me got them noticed for the first time by people outside of the Jazz world as it has a nice smooth jazz/r&b sound.

I like all of the songs although Love How You Love Me, Through My Eyes, and Walking with Angels ( beatiful instrumental!)stand out a little more to me. A solid album and worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a brilliantly beautiful CD, July 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Urban World Music (Audio CD)

I love Hiroshima. There isn't a CD that they make that I don't like. This is my favorite CD of theirs. This CD features the smoky Hamish Stuart and the sultry Kimaya Seward. Hamish is a talented Irish soul singer, and Kimaya is a first timer. Hamish is usually a background singer so it's nice to hear him up front. There is a problem witht hat though, he strains too much. It's ok though he still sounds good. I love the songs Unspoken Love & Love how You Love Me (produced by Kimaya's husband Monty) The band is of course top notch as usual, and June is still the baddest koto master around Dan is still one heck of a sax player and Johnny drums his hands off. This is what die hards love this band for. Pick up all you can from this brilliant band from East L.A. You won't be sorry
