Free Music Notes for The Preacher's Son
Free Music Review: A breath of fresh air...
Hit: 5 Stars
Wyclef is brilliant, and with 'The Preacher's Son' Wyclef leaves no room to debate. What's great about this album is that Wyclef proves he's more than a one trick pony living in the shadow of 'The Fugees' but is a brilliant artist who is prepared to make his mark, and what a mark he makes. Opening with a jab at the industry as a whole he calls out all the artist with beef pleading with them to end it for its not worth it. Wyclef continues to sing about things that matter by picking subjects that span further than sex and weed. On tracks like 'Baby Daddy' he gives a shout out to all the RESPONSABLE men out there who will take care of their woman and their babies (even if the kid aint really theirs). 'Celebrate' featuring the talented Mrs Labell shines as a classic throwback song to the way things used to be when life was simple. 'Linda' shows the dangers of cheating while 'Next Generation' shows the importance of learning from mistakes to make a better tomorrow. 'Class Reunion' features the beautiful voice of Monica as she and Wyclef take a 'Waterfalls' type spin on the song, singing about young children with bright future's throwing it all away. There are plenty an island vibe to this album as well with slow tracks like 'I'm You're Doctor' and 'Who Gave the Order' and then faster jam songs like 'Party by the Sea' which in my opinion is just brilliant. 'Take me as I Am' is a nice ode to the woman who's always been there, and will always be there, and 'Rebel Music' is one of the best tracks here, beat, lyrics and all...I just love it. 'Party to Damascus' featuring Missy Eliott is freaking off the hook, and the remix which closes out this brilliant album is even better. Talk about made for the clubs! Anyways, Wyclef deserves all the praise he can get for this effort for he gives you great track after great track, but never falls into a mold or a nitch. Every track is unique and refreshing in itself. 'The Preacher's Son' proves to be that breath of fresh air I needed to believe that great music still exists!
The Preacher's Son Poster
After catching heat for 2002's disappointing Masquerade, Wyclef Jean jiggered his "ecleftic" formula a bit; this time he's come closer to hitting the mark. Listeners will be pretty hard-pressed to find much actual rapping on The Preacher's Son, but the former Fugee does a good job showcasing a wide variety of musical genres, all crafted with the highest of production values. Tracks like "Baby Daddy" (an ode to step-fatherhood featuring Redman) and "Next Generation" (featuring Rah Digga and the always tight Scarface) give a brief nod to Clef's MC status while "Party to Damascus" (a duet with the ubiquitous Missy Elliott) helps bridge the gap between traditional and next-wave hip-hop. But the eclectic roster of non-MC guests proves that Wyclef's musical vision is bigger than hip-hop. Where else would you be able to hear Patti LaBelle, Carlos Santana, and Haitian kompa kings T-Vice all do their thing? --Rebecca LevineR&B Music CDs
