5.0 out of 5 stars "Vertigo" is not just a state of mind, June 7, 2000

2 1/2 years after her smash debut "Growing, Pains," Billie Myers has returned doing the impossible, she has penned an almost perfect body of work. Why almost perfect? It depends on your definition of perfect. "Vertigo," encompasses some of the best music I have heard in years. Though her first debut went somewhat unnoticed, it's going to be hard to ignore her this time around. She had a hit with "Kiss The Rain," in 1997 on both radio and video. I'm betting this release takes her over the top. She is without question on hell of a lyricist, no bubble gum sentiments here. Her vocal stylings maybe be hard to pigeon hole her type of music but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. That's what makes "Vertigo" unique. Back with Desmond Child (he produced "Growing Pains,") their song "A Room Full Of View," is about as perfect as you can get both lyrically and musically. Billie doesn't merely sing, she projects the songs with great imagery and sensuality. "Vertigo," is a sensual CD. The first single "Am I Here Yet," sampled a bit of Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing," should give you a clue as to what you're in for, but then again, no. Many of the songs on this CD will catch you by surprise. This is one of those rare releases that it's better to sit down and listen to rather than using it as background music. Co-produced with David Tyson, Billie Myers has out done herself. Other songs to listen for are "Without My Consent," "Never Let Them See You Cry," and "Vertigo." The dance clubs will probably jump on "Flexible," a fun jaunt for James Bond fans and those who love songs charged with sexual energy. If you're looking for a well rounded, written, produced and performed CD, Billie Myers "Vertigo," is the one. It's not often an artist brings us this close to themselves and perfection all on the same release.

5.0 out of 5 stars She writes from the heart and soul, June 22, 2000

It has been three years since her last album, but the wait was well deserved. When I put the CD in and heard the first notes of the first song (AM I HERE YET?), I knew this album would be as great as GROWING PAINS. Billie writes about things we all can either relate to or have pondered some. AM I HERE YET? talks about wanting to know the future, but realizing that it can only be experienced by living. SHOULD I CALL YOU JESUS? hits right to the point ("If the planet Earth stopped revolving, would religion really matter anymore...") and goes on to point out that "God is God by any God-given name". FLEXIBLE deals with the immediate attraction and willing to be anything for the right moment. NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU CRY touches the heart and reminds us all to be careful with our display of emotions. And the rest of the tracks on this CD point and clarify the feelings and desires of the heart and soul. On top of the wonderful lyrics, and her Beautiful voice, the music takes these and transcends the mundaneness of a lot of the music that can be heard on radio and at the same time makes you feel like you have known these songs for a long time. All in all, this album is something that any music lover should have in their collection. And this album will definetly put Billie in the same realm as Stevie Nicks, Sarah McClachlan, and the long list of women musicians who can relate reality through words and music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A letter to the FUTURE, June 6, 2000

By

This review is from: Vertigo (Audio CD)

billie myers "VERTIGO" is an inspired work of art. Starting off where the the single "TELL ME" from the first album left off...this album is chock full of anthems. Beginning with "AM I HEAR YET" which features the delicious sample..."i believe in miracles" THIS IS DEFINATELY a club song that will surpass anything whitney houston has ever released. "SHOULD I CALL YOU JESUS?" is another anthem beginning with the mystical sounds of the far east. I love the way her voice moans and stirs in this song. "A ROOM FULL OF VIEW" is the best ballad on the album. Completely beautiful. You just want to eat this music up! Of course Billie's poetry still graces the inside sleeve, which is romantic, sexy, heartfelt. I highly recommend this release for blasting out your radio. It hits hard...it rocks...it's another gem by BILLIE MYERS. GREAT ALBUM!
