Free Music Notes for Blurring the Edges

Free Music Review: You mitch!
Hit: 5 Stars

I think Meredith Brooks has a great voice with just the right amount of edginess to it (not full-out Alanis Morissette edge, but a softer, subtler on edge). I think that Meredith Brooks's most famous song, that word we all dread being called, is pure genius. I think Meredith Brooks is trying to take the hurtfulness out of the B-word. She shows how we all have so many different facets (she's simultaneously a mother, a goddess, a lover, and a bitch), and if you try to use the catch-all word bitch against us, well, then let us women take back that word and render it trite and innocuous. (Unfortunately, women use it mercilessly against each other--watch "Mean Girls" to observe some great social commentary about the destructiveness of verbal abuse.) I've often joked that we women should try to get the word blend, "mitch" into the vernacular (male bitch=mitch) and make it an equal opportunity word, but I suppose two wrongs don't make a right.

Brilliant song. Not too familiar with the rest of the album, but look forward to youtubing those songs.

Blurring the Edges Poster

File under "Angry Young Women." Following the likes of Fiona Apple and Alanis Morrisette in line for the confessional, Meredith Brooks became yet another female rocker exposing and expressing her emotions strongly. "Bitch," with its chorus ("I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother/ I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed") was "I Am Woman" for the next millennium, making Helen Reddy's declaration in the 1970s seem like one big yawn. Blurring The Edges doesn't make as strong of a statement in any of its other material, either musically or lyrically, but "What Would Happen" is provocative enough to hold its own. An ode to adultery, the song has Brooks once again in control as she makes no bones about what it is she wants as she swings her guitar. --Steve Gdula
