Free Music Review: Alana Nash, What's your problem?
Hit: 4 Stars
In the end, it all just comes off, like David Gates's "Diary," as Bread, all of it awfully, awfully, awfully white. --Alanna Nash
--------------------------------------------------------------
WOW! Amazon reviewer Alanna Nash can't seem to get over the fact that a respected R&B performer like Babyface was influenced by white pop-rock artists. "Awfully white"? Didn't anyone else find this review more than a bit racially biased?
Playlist Poster
The lush R&B of Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds owes its origins to the white singer-songwriter sounds of James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and Dave Loggins? Apparently so. That's the music that Babyface, one of the biggest urban radio stars of the '90s, grew up on as a kid in Indianapolis, hence the premise of this album of mostly cover songs. His performance throughout is solidly heartfelt, particularly on the two originals, "Not Going Anywhere," a sweet ballad of comfort to his son in the wake of Edmonds' divorce, and "The Soldier Song," a touching call for respect to America's fighting men and women. But while he puts a silkier spin on Taylor's deadly "Shower the People," and helps Loggins finally grow a pair on "Please Come to Boston," Edmonds the producer does little to interpret the songs in a new way. In the end, it all just comes off, like David Gates's "Diary," as Bread, all of it awfully, awfully, awfully white. --Alanna NashPLAYLIST is Babyface's first album devoted (mostly) to cover versions of some of the songs that truly inspired him, among them James Taylor's "Fire & Rain," Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," Dan Fogelberg's "Longer," Jim Croce's "Time In A Bottle," Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," and many others. The album also includes original material, including "Not Going Anywhere" - a heartfelt treasure for parents that tenderly expresses the struggle of divorce.
You know the songs, you know the artist, but this special combination creates the type of musical magic that only few artists are capable of realizing. Kenny "Babyface" Edmunds has delivered the magic again, and this time it's all about his personal PLAYLIST.
