Free Music Review: Wonderful Songs Exploring a Variety of Emotions
Hit: 5 Stars
This c.d. is really a thing of beauty. Her songs are varied, express heartfelt emotions, and do not wallow in self-pity, pretentiousness and endless self-absorbtion, problems that afflict several of today's very popular singers.
She aptly styles her songs to fit the mood, the music and the content. Some of her songs are excellent: "You Just Forgot" (bitterly ironic yet sung in a pitch perfect, up-beat style--great lyrics and singing) is the best song I've heard in a long time: "Little Devil"--powerful with good lyrics and a strong up-tempo beat that belies the negative emotions expressed in the song; "You Know I love You Baby"--catchy tune with nuanced lyrics; also, excellent are "Out of Control", and "Edge of Love."
Except for the highly forgettable "Long Island Shores" (very well-intentioned though) and the passable "Tennessee, all the rest of the songs are good to very good. I particularly like "Peace of Mind" and "What if the World Stops Turning," both with lovely, moving themes. Very few c.d's can match the good to excellent percentage of songs on Miss Smith's c.d. Highly Recommended. Postscript: I like her first album, but this one far surpasses it, both in the songs themselves and the music and her singing.
Long Island Shores Poster
With her expressively breathy vocals and uplifting melodies, Mindy Smith expresses both the romantic and spiritual dimensions of rapture. It can occasionally be hard to tell whether Smith is singing of God or love, or if she even makes a distinction between the two. Whether she's invoking prayer and sin in the opening "Out Loud," hoping that God's looking out for her in "Out of Control," casting a seductive charmer as a "Little Devil," or recalling her preacher father in the title track, Smith's material blurs the distinction between the earthly and the ethereal. Her duet with kindred spirit Buddy Miller on "What If the World Stops Turning" highlights the album, though the Nashville-based artist rarely hints at country within her buoyant brand of folk-pop. --Don McLeese More Mindy
