Free Music Notes for The Best of Marie Osmond
Free Music Review: rather good--as far as it goes, that is (three and one-half stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
The Best Of Marie Osmond has excellent songs from this great singer. However, it's tough to put together a mere ten songs and call it a "best of" type of compilation. This annoys me; but what we do get is very good material. The quality of the sound is very good and the artwork is very nice as well.
"Paper Roses" starts the album with Marie singing very sweetly; her voice is clearly a finely tuned instrument and together with a great backup chorus Marie makes this number her own with a few tempo and key changes. "Paper Roses" makes a fine start to this CD and I'm sure that you will enjoy Marie singing "Paper Roses" if you haven't heard this before. "There's No Stopping Your Heart" is another great tune that charms me with its beauty; the musical arrangement is very lush and Marie's excellent sense of timing enhances this ballad even further. Great!
In addition, "Everybody's Crazy 'Bout My Baby" is clearly a major highlight of this CD; Marie sings this with style and grace and her delivery is very solid. The melody has some 1980s features but it holds its own very well even today two decades later! Marie does this one up right! Listen also for "Think With Your Heart" gets another `80s beat for a country flavored number that happens to work very well; and Marie sings this it truly takes flight! I really like "Think With Your Heart."
"I Only Wanted You" is a number that amazes me with its natural beauty; and Marie makes this a timeless classic with her excellent diction and her timing. Maries sings this to perfection--and beyond! I'm very impressed; and the musical arrangement is very lush although it never drowns out Marie.
"You're Still New To Me" is a great duet Marie Osmond performs with Paul Davis; and this is another number that I also really enjoy. This country flavored ballad has the percussion marking the beat while Marie and Paul sing this very, very well. The album also ends well with "I'll Be Faithful To You;" "I'll Be Faithful To You" is an excellent ballad with plenty of country flair; and this makes an excellent final ballad for this CD.
My only gripe is that this album is too short. How can you take a mere ten songs and call then the "best of" Marie Osmond? I will take off one and ? stars for this to make this a three and ? star review. Sorry, folks.
Marie Osmond's choice "to go country" certainly worked well for her; this CD amply proves it. I recommend this album for Marie Osmond fans; and people who appreciate quality country music will love this album for ages to come--even if it is rather short!
