Free Music Review: Interesting Try...Disappointing
Hit: 2 Stars
I waited for this CD with great anticipation when it was initially released. I'd been hearing for years Natalie was going to FINALLY do some of her gospel-tinged, Aretha influenced singing in an R&B setting. It was long overdue. Afterall, we are the fans who stuck by her long before her standards era.
When I discovered Natalie was covering, the great DJ Rodgers' R&B classic "Say You Love Me"(covered by Jennifer Holiday in the late 80's) as well as "Stay With Me Baby" (originally sung and the definitively delivered by the late Lorraine Elison) I knew this was going to be a winner....WRONG!
Natalie is singing this material as if she's afraid she's going to scare away her dinner music audience. It's as if she dialed in her performance. I say this as someone who is familiar with ALL of Natalie's music, long before she started doing the standards. This CD is plain boring, especially for long time fans. Her standards are fine, but this is supposed to be pop/R&B and Natalie was supposed to bring some heat...
I thought Natalie would at least sing the house down on "Stay With Me Baby" but Shirley Brown(Woman to Woman) does the best cover of this(I love Bette Midler, but in comparison to Lorraine Ellison and Shirley Brown her version pales considerably..but she is pop, and their versions straight up R&B and we know how that goes in the music world..POP-important.. R&B-NOT important).
Anyway..Natalie brings NO FIRE to any of these numbers.......disappointing when you consider Natalie "LIVE", "Thankful" etc or even the title track for "Take a Look" all delivered with great passion and fire....
Don't get me wrong, Natalie can still bring heat, still can sing the hell out of R&B, but she don't do it here...I give this 2 stars only because it's Natalie Cole.
