Free Music Notes for Hypnotized
Free Music Review: So I'm hypnotized, now what?
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to say I was drawn into Colette's intoxicating web last December when I stumbled across the video for the song "If" on the boob tube. I then bought her album "Push" and can safely say that now I am a big fan. I bought "Hypnotized" not too long after I bought "Push", and wasn't disappointed.
Now I was under the assumption that "Hypnotized" was more dance friendly than "Push". However after comparing the two, I would state that the opposite is true. Don't get me wrong, "Hypnotized" is a wonderful album, it just seems like more of a relax/chill out album than a straight up techno/dance record. It should be noted that before "Hypnotized" came out in 2005, Colette was only really known as a DJ and released some DJ remix CDs. Therefore, she already had a strong foundation in the realm of dance music. Perhaps this is why "Hypnotized" has a techno/dance legacy.
As for some of the tracks, "What's Wrong with Being Lonely", has this throwback/retro vibe while also being some what dark. Imagine a 1980's pop song mixed with some dark, electronic jazz. Then "Smile for Me" has these slow guitar and percussion elements going on. The interlude of "Joy and Pain" is also very mellow. Again, these are great songs, but I wouldn't classify them as techno and/or dance.
There are some upbeat tracks such as "Feelin' Hypnotized" (which is also somewhat mellow). "What would she do for Love" is also very kind to the feet of boogie. As for the lyrics, they depict the binary of human emotions. Which is always a wonderful foundation for music, just ask Robert Smith from The Cure. Overall, this is a great CD can be used as a way to relax or dance the night away.
This past weekend, I went to see (DJ) Colette perform (spin) at The Blue Room in Jacksonville, FL. Colette was an amazing performer (and also very pretty). Her vocals were even more angelic in person, she mixed with such grace and was still able to dance and recognize the audience. Once her set was done, I walked up to her and told her "Great job" and shook her hand. She expressed her thanks and smiled. I have to say that she is a real class act and if I wasn't hypnotized before, I am now.
Hypnotized Poster
In an era when dance artists are relying heavily on synthesized and sample-based music, it?s refreshing to hear the warmer, more soulful sounds of classically trained vocalist. Hypnotized focuses heavily on house music, featuring an impressive roster of house producers (JT Donaldson, Chris Penny, Tim Shumaker), but also a number of down-tempo and broken-beat tracks that keep the album interesting. Tracks like "Joy and Pain" and "Smile for Me" provide aching vocals and sweet melodies, reminiscent of label-mate Soulstice. The house tracks also offer a variety of sounds, from the dark, 80s pop groove of "What?s Wrong" to the funky vibe of "What You Want."The breadth and quality of Hypnotize is a clear testament to Colette?s many talents. This effort blends the organic with the electronic, gives a respectful nod to pop music, and avoids the cheesy clichés that sometimes characterize vocal projects. --Anish Acharya
