Free Music Notes for Haunted Heart
Free Music Review: My best stress reliever!
Hit: 5 Stars
There are many that don't think Fleming does jazz "right" on this recording, or they don't like the trained, operatic quality in her singing. I would disagree. It is the fact that she carries over her attention to detail from the classical world that makes this recording great. My friends joke about the calming effect this CD has on me. If ever I'm stressed out, I can rely on this music to even me out. I think if you like Renee Fleming, you will like this CD. Free Music Review: Great voice and songs, needed a bit more umph tho.
Hit: 4 Stars
She has a great voice and this cd was great. In fact, i know she sings well for opera but she has the voice for great jazz as well. The only thing about this cd tho was the tempo for the songs. She draws out pretty much every song like an aria all most. Not that it was bad but for me a bit draggy and she has the talent for the more upbeat jazz songs.Free Music Review: disappointed
Hit: 1 Stars
I was disappointed in this CD. Maybe it is the selection Renee chose to sing.
I love her voice but prefer to hear it in operas.
Free Music Review: Sublime and ridiculous
Hit: 2 Stars
The sublime: much of the artistry of this recording is about sound, and the subtle blending/responding of voice with guitar sounds and / or piano sounds. It is in the sensitive musical interplay between the artists where this effort shines. Definitely not recommended for road trips!
The ridiculous: Fleming ended the majority of most phrases in most of the songs with a guttural of some sort which for me becomes irritating to the point of distraction. These punctuations are mostly tasteless, clumsy, and overused big time. Without these ersatz testifyin' noises this CD would be stunning.
So, if you can edit out this garbage from your perception as you listen I think you'll be glad you experienced these artists at work together. (Unfortunately I'm not up to it).
PS: Diction on You've Changed is good for a chuckle: includes "the mammaries we've shared" - it's reassuring to know that both t(.)(.)k part in the fun - "you've change", "we're sthrough" and "you're not the angel I fwonce knew".
Free Music Review: Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww
Hit: 2 Stars
Ugh. Like a manufactured home vs. a stick-built house, Fleming's manufactured (aka "training and technique") blues voice compares unfavorably to other jazz/blues singers/lounge acts. Would not, COULD not, listen to this recording straight through--one big long, breathy, minor key train wreck in the making. Took the CD on a road trip and had to pull over and remove from queue--either that or drive into a wall.
