Roberta Flack. A name I have heard several times in my life but, unfortunately, I was never familiarized with much of her music. I heard The Fugees' version of her song, "Killing Me Softly." I never really liked the song, but one day, I took a very close listen and realized just how profound the lyrics were, and that's when I took an interest in Roberta Flack. I was impressed after listening to this album. I looked at some of her photos as the album played, and discovered that she plays the piano; that's one quality in a singer that I always appreciate and respect. I really enjoyed the sound and quality of her voice. She never over-sang, she was on key throughout. Her lyrics are great, too. This album is pretty cohesive.
I love the song, "Killing Me Softly." As I mentioned previously, the lyrics are profound. The song is about a woman who is at a concert, and the man performing is singing things that are seemingly directed towards her. The production is quite eerie for an added effect. "Jesse" is a ballad that is about a couple that is no longer together, and Roberta is letting Jesse know how different their home is without him. It's a decent offering, but one of the weaker moments on the album due to its blandness. I really enjoyed "No Tears (In the End) and "River." Roberta's delivery is magnificent, so are the musical arrangements and lyrics. Simply outstanding. Very memorable.
I know more about Roberta Flack and am looking forward to hearing more of her music very soon. She's an underrated talent and more people need to mention her when they are conversing about music's greats.
