Free Music Notes for Prime of My Life

Free Music Review: A Precious Audio Treasure
Hit: 5 Stars

In addition, the album tracks stand strong on their own and are worth mentioning. "Prime Of My Life" may have suggested Phyllis' state of mind during this time, despite her troubled soul that she fought long and hard to overcome. Perhaps "I Can't Take It Anymore" was an early hint of just how difficult her inner demons were becoming to her.

By far, the two tracks which stand out for any Phyllis Hyman fan are "When I Give My Love (This Time)" and "Meet Me On The Moon." No sweeter sound can be heard than by playing these tracks back to back. "When I Give My Love (This Time)" is a true torch song in every sense of the word. It creeps up on you from the opening drum tap, to the picking of the electric guitar and flowing bassline. Her vocals are smooth and tender...building to a crescendo so high that you never want to come down. Her vocal delivery is adamant, confident and assured.

"Meet Me On The Moon" sneaks in with a piano tickle. If a voice could every be carried on the clouds above, then this is how it would sound. No romantic evening is complete without the blessing of hearing this ballad. It is known that this was one of Phyllis' favorite songs from her repertoire. In fact, she had to fight to have it included on this project. She performed it a cappella to Kenny Gamble one morning, determined with her passion for the song. The decision to include it was indeed a wise one.

If you can only pick up a precious few of her albums, this must be one of them. Highly recommended for the true music and vocalist lover.
