Free Music Notes for For Lovers Dreamers & Me
Free Music Review: Effortlessly flawless!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I discovered Alice Smith's music only last week, on the recommendation of a friend and wow!! Smith is a thirty year old singer/songwriter and her classy debut "For lovers, dreamers & me" displays her various musical influences; Jazz, Soul, Blues, Country and Rock, perfectly showcasing her commanding 4 octave vocals which critics have compared to Tina Turner's or even Billie Holiday. I would add India.Arie and Nina Simone.
Opening is the horn peppered Beatles-esque "Dream" with dreamy harmonies. "Woodstock" has a trippy guitar feel and a bouncy refrain, while "Gary song" is a piano driven song with snarled soulful vocals, and tempo shifts from insistent (Motown-like) to calm.
The Rock/Blues "New religion" finds her singing "Give me some new religion / Something that I can feel / Give me a new tomorrow / Bring it on and make it real", while the calm bass-heavy reverb-filled "Do I" has a heavy Reggae feel, and a smouldering, drawn vocal performance lamenting the end of a relationship.
The gentle "Fake is the new real" features quietly snarling stabs of guitar with Smith declaring "Bona fide is the old deal / Fake is the new real" (while taking a look at pop culture), while the piano sprinkled "Desert song" is heavily steeped in the Blues. The classy ballad "Know that I..." has a timeless quality. "Secrets" is an airy, jazzy ballad, while closing cut "Lost endeavor" has a lilting faint Caribbean feel.
There is so much sonic variety, each time a new song started, my brother would ask again "Who is this?" The album received a Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative category, and I know we'll hear much more from this incredible talent in the near future.
