Free Music Notes for Firecracker

Free Music Review: Fantastic.
Hit: 5 Stars

"Fantastic" does not begin to describe the album. Lisa Loeb may not be one of today's most popular artistes, but she's certainly among the best. Her sweet voice creates a different and unique expression in every song.

Her songwriting is fabulous, telling different stories with different songs. She starts with "I Do", a raunchy Top 40 Hit, fantastic with an interesting bassline. She continues with "Falling in Love", a song which, probably has the lyrics of the century (The time between meeting / and finally leaving / is sometimes called falling in love) . And if that isn't enough, she turns to the piano for "Truthfully" giving this radio-friendly love song a nice feel. Next is the incredible "Let's Forget About It" - uptempo, fast, witty.

"How" could be considered one of the most beautiful songs ever written. For the most part, Lisa plays the acoustic guitar, and occasionally the band chimes in for the chorus. But nevertheless it is a touching, heartfelt song about the outside world looking at you, and the feeling of not being understood - something we all can relate to. With "Furious Rose" she tells the story of man's fear of something which we do not understand - a psychiatrist diagnoses the woman in the song as 'crazy', just because she is not understood. "Dance with the Angels" starts out slow, but breaks into a latin-jazzy type of feel with an interesting key change. "Jake" is a sad song, with mainly just Lisa on the guitar.

"Firecracker" is a wise song for a closing. Running at almost 6 minutes, it proves that Lisa's skill did not diminish towards the end of the album. If anything, Firecracker has all the raw Lisa energy that we all know and love. A wonderful, angst feeled song, about a relationship which doesn't work ... one lighting the firecrackers, and the other stomping it out.

All in all, Lisa Loeb's sophomore effort is just delightful. She's Britney Spears or Celine Dion ... and let's thank God for that.
