Free Music Notes for Crystal WatersFree Music Review: Crystal Clear Dancefloor FUNK! LOVE this CD!
I LOVE this woman's voice! She reminds me of Stevie Nicks and I LOVE her lazy delivery! This album, her third, follows up two already (fairly) successful albums ("Surprise" and "Storyteller.") What makes this one special, though, is that she's turning up the "flava" here a few notches by taking on Prince's 1980 hit, "Uptown" and Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me"(elements OF it.) Granted, she doesn't do MUCH with Prince's song other than house it up, but it makes for an enjoyable listen. I'd guess that Prince liked it. I only WISH that she might have gotten her groove on with more Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis material, as they did so much for her with the NBA at 50 song, "Say...If You Feel Alright" and had all the power to literally make her a household name with greater crossover (to Pop markets) potential. They (Jam & Lewis) did a pretty good job at recreating the Crystal "sound" too. Otherwise, it's one jam after another here on her 3rd solo release which should have been much better received and sadly, was not. The only song here I really don't care too much for is "Spin Me." The first six or seven songs kick MAD beats and the first single ("Say...") are all standouts. She ended up dropped (from Polygram)and signed to an indie label after this recording and this is sad, where she certainly IS major label material. Of her three albums, this one strikes me as being the BEST. Of course, this is a matter of individual taste. I felt that this one had the most variety and sizzle. After sampling the Price is Right theme song and scoring BIG TIME with her very unique, "Come on Down," she's been putting out material (and still topping the charts via indie labels and joint efforts with other artists.) In a perfect world, she would have either done a whole album with Flyte Tyme (which I think might have been "too R&B" for her) or gotten with the likes of perhaps Orbit or Mirwais, maybe even Moby. Crystal's got it goin' on NO MATTER what she does; she's just THAT kind of performer and the Dance charts aDORE her. It's not hard to see how/why. She's tight!
