Free Music Notes for The DutchessFree Music Review: Coolest blue-eyed r&b female since Teena Marie Hit: 5 Stars
Fergie probably knows r&b and dance more than any other "blue-eyed female" since Teena Marie did it in the early 80s. With that in mind, this first effort is well worth the price of admission. The album is filled with influences from Salt 'N Pepa ("Fergalicious"), 80's dancepop with Atari bleeps ("Clumsy"), smooth 80s r&b ("All That I Got"), Pink-like r&b/rock ("Pedestal"), Motown ("Here I Come"),
And perhaps, some original stuff are here with influences from Madonna, Gwen Stefani to Pink like "London Bridge", "Voodoo Doll", "Glamorous", "Velvet", "Mary Jane Shoes", "Losing My Ground". Finally, the last song called "Finally" sounds like a Disney-themed/broadway tune that showcases Fergie's vocal chops. It's weird - it sounds *almost* Celine Dion-like!
Free Music Review: She will Spray Ur A#$ with MASE! Hit: 5 Stars
There is nothing surprising here, if you love " THE BLACK EYE PEAS" you will love this release, the only difference is that it's FERGIE'S SOLO Effort. It keeps and stays true to what fans love about her, It's Flirtaous Fun, Sampling 70's and 80's Hip Hop Classics making it a refreshing updated spin. You will not be let down. It will put you in a mood to dance , I got what I was expecting and more making this a very pleasing buy. GOING CLUBBING ,POP THIS ONE IN YOUR CAR STEREO, ON HIGH VOLUME AND FULL OF BASS. The Final Third of the album has some soulful ballads..My only disappointment is the sond GLAMOROUS , I am totally confused if you have heard the remix to GWEN STEFANI'S LUXURIOUS it has the same exact Rap provided by LUDACRIS other than that FERGIE DELIVERS.
Free Music Review: For Those Who Like To Pigeonhole Artists Into One Genre- This CD Is Not For You!!! Hit: 5 Stars
It's very hard for me to listen to a CD that sounds like it is filled with the same 12-18 songs with the same melody and beats, but different lyrics. One of the appeals of "The Dutchess" is that there is something here for everyone-whether you like pop, hip-hop, R&B, reggae/ska, or good old-school music from the 70's and 80's. I can honestly say that this is one of the few CDs I have bought in years that I can listen to from start to finish because no one song sounds the same. Ms. Fergie is definitely not an artist that can be placed in just one genre of music. Since the discussion will inevitably come up, I definitely recommend this CD over the lastest(disappointing in my opinion) efforts by both Christina Aguilera and Beyonce.
Free Music Review: You'll love it or hate it, and I ADORE it! Hit: 5 Stars
Since getting this album I have listened to it non-stop, I rock out in my car and look like a lunatic. I can't get enough of it! it's personal, witty, beautiful, humurous, it's so so much. Fergie is an incredible lady, the more I see of her (like on tyra this week) the more i like her, learning about her past experiences and how far she has come made me appreciate some songs that I listened to less at the begining in a completely new way. "Finally" can make me cry. "Clumsy" is so catchy, deffinately one of my faves, I love every single song on this album, some of my friends just don't get it though! I just don't get how they don't get it as I am totally under it's spell... It rocks!!!!
Free Music Review: Guilty Pleasure Hit: 5 Stars
Fergie could have been just some great eye candy and no substance artist, but she is far from getting that label.
If you are the person who turns your nose up at tracks like Fergalicious and London Bridge then you don't deserve this outstanding album. This album is solid from top to bottom, and beginning to end.
First, Fergie really can sing. She moves from rap to ballards with a smooth ease that makes we want to see what she does next. Second, Ms. Stacy Ferguson doesn't lip sync when on TV shows, and the confidence she has in her voice is displayed in the album. Finally, in my opinion this is the MUST HAVE pop record for 2006/2007.
