4.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing quite like it, October 23, 2008
This review is from: coming to (Audio CD)
I really enjoy this album--there really is nothing to compare it to in my opinion. I first heard it on our local high school radio station and had to go out and buy it. Her lyrics are political, socially relevent, optimistic, spiritual, and opinionated. Evolution relates the WTO events which took place in Seattle several years ago and contain some hard hitting lyrics. Seperation is a great song about race and diversity presented in a way few of us consider. Although I like all the songs, my favorites are: I call tomorrow, 'til I try, liberation song, do you love, and holy holy. It was suprising to me the optimism of the songs, I didn't expect that to go along with the social relevance of the issues. The first time listening everything seemed to keep me on edge, not quite knowing where she was going with any of the music--but with each successive listening, I began to appreciate the nuances of both the edginess of the music and the significance of the lyrics. You can tell it is a self-produced cd in which she did all the music with a little help from some extra vocals, but it works for her. I look forward to her next cd.
