Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A sensuous, lovely piece of work.Regina Belle, never belonging to groups or movements and always working against the grain of fashion or "what you have seen on TV", is one of the greatest American artists of our time. She is the essential link between tradition and modernity in Jazz/Soul music. She oozes style, she is the epitome of class. This collection is made by exquisite pieces of work and creates a mosaic, which while respecting its origin, has its own beaty and life. Lazy Afternoon Baby Come to Me: The Best of Regina Belle Rating: - Phenomenal This album is amazing. In fact, this is my favorite CD from Regina Belle. The two tracks "From Now On" and "Someone Who Needs Me" are light years beyond five stars in their lyrics, melody and of course Regina's soulful, passionate voice. If you're a fan of Regina Belle's earlier music, you will appreciate the maturity of this album. If you're unfamiliar with Regina Belle, check out this album - you won't be disappointed. Rating: - Slip into something cool and sexy....After Regina Belle's powerful musical positioning on the very top of the world of Pop/Soul/Jazz around the turn of the early nineties,things changed. For what reasons (maybe the marketing issues, maybe her recording label's management, maybe her natural reluctance to make a record what she does't like to make, lack of freedom to use her creativity...), it's not our tale to fathom. What is significant, is that Belle is back with a totally twenty-first century answer to the twentieth century foxes. "This Is Regina" is a journey into some straight-from-the-heart Soul/Jazz music tinged with a shade of bubbly undercurrents. GREAT ! A well crafted album with heartfel melodies,fantastic vocals by a Lady in stunning form - we've ... Read More: Rating: - It's surprisingly soothing.This beautiful album follows in the traditional Regina Belle formula: lush, sophisticated quiet storm ballads, augmented by Belle's strong, warm, elegant, inviting vocals. The CD steers clear of anything too adventurous, which is just fine, because Belle's fans have come to love her for her reliability as an old friend who returns every few years with a fresh set of new, yet familiar songs. The album begins with the pleasantly sexy "Oooh Boy," then leads into a several pretty ballads, notably the sweeping "From Now On," which recalls her American chart-topper "A Whole New World." Highlights include the funky, smooth, sexy "Don't Wanna Go Home Now," which could be safely classified as adult contemporary club music and recalls ... Read More: Rating: - Gorgeous ! Soulful ! Different !!Though Anita Baker first emerged as lead vocalist of Chapter 8 in 1979 and her debut solo recording The Songstress was released in 1983, it was not until 1986 that she was championed as the "brand new flava" with the release of Rapture. Less than a year later Baker became the prototype for a new generation of R&B vocalists-de-churchified vocals with heavy jazz-styled inflections tailor-made for the burgeoning "smooooooove" jazz radio format. If Baker was the template, Regina Belle and Miki Howard were second generation reproductions, who were given the leeway to explore more serious pop fare than the 10 million-sales poster child Whitney Houston or the mechanical-dance divas Janet Jackson and Jody Watley. In the absence of "real" jazz singers ... Read More: |
