Free Music Notes for This Is Reina
Free Music Review: Reina- 26 years old, and starting off with a bang!!
Hit: 5 Stars
A little background before the FABULOUS review begins:
Lori Goldstein started off as a background singer for Deborah Cox back in the 90s. Then by 1998, under her stage name REINA, found success as an underground club diva with several singles launched by the former Groovilicious Records under Strictly Rhythm label. "Find Another Woman", "Anything For Love", and "No One's Gonna Change You" were some of those hits. Unfortunately, that label went down in 2001 and so did Reina. Afterwards, Robbins Ent. had signed Reina on their label, with hopes that someday she will be an asset to the label as well as have strong appeal to the dance music market! Boy, were they right! By the time she got to Robbins, she had six singles to her name, but no album. Well, it's FINALLY here my friends- October 2004- THIS IS REINA!!
THE review:
The album is of course a masterpiece because they included her Strictly Rhythm singles on this release, as well as new gems that really add to the flavor of this album. Overall, it's a dance album- typical Robbins dance music material, but it's Reina's rich vocals that make it stand out on its own. "Forgive" is a new track- my favorite on the album, and I won't be surprised if this makes it to the clubs. "Believe in Us" and "What Happened to Us?" are two new awesome tracks- superb! They also included a 7-minute version of "Vivo Per Lei", an Italian-English dance track feat. Angelo Venuto. Some of tracks like "Why", "On My Own", and "They Say it's gonna rain" are lacking some originality, and seem too "A&R" driven for me, but it may interest some other listeners. However, there's a little something for the Holiday season also- a Christmas track. This kind of threw me for a loop, as Reina I think is Jewish! But it still works, and it's a nice ending to the album.
Overall, it's a great addition to your music library- it may seem too bubbly for some because of the dance music beats, but if you pay more attention to her vocal stylings, you'll appreciate it much more! Not to mention, it's a more quality product with all those cute photos, liner notes, and lyrics. This really gives you a better snapshot of Reina's musical career than her single releases. Keep up the great work Reina- you're beautiful!
