Ms.Kelly (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Interesting to follow the development of the three ex-Destiny's Child divas. While Beyonce has left in a kind of hyper Diva bubble orbit and Michelle Williams failed commercially with two gospel albums colored despite high quality, Kelly Rowland leads most likely continue the band's sound.
With "Ms. Kelly" she shared under today's R & B standards before a very solid album, which even surprised some places. As usual today she tries to get through some illustrious guests credibility, even if some of the pairings seem somewhat intentional.
It opens with one of the best songs - the luxurious "Like This" with a refined oriental beat and heavy synths. Also "ghetto" comes therefore extremely elegant. Your seductive breathy singing harmonizes perfectly with the ultra casual rape of Snoop Dogg, although the ghetto attitude bites with the super-clean appeal of the singer. In "The Show" to be recommended in a heated Nineties ballad with dozens of times layered vocals.

Unfortunately, have partly Destinys-Child weaknesses with by dragged. Again nerves some boring four-note verses (Every Thought Is You), arg synthetic strings and piano sounds (Love), and the rigid and metallic-sounding "Come Back".

For the ballads succeed in the solo work mostly clearly personal. "Flashback" is a metallic beat to polyphonic vocal harmonies, while "This Is Love" produced with plucked guitar strings and genuine warmth.

Vocally, the singer remains in midfield. Her timbre is warm and relaxed, but it has neither the brilliance of Beyonce nor the jazzy undertone of Michelle Williams.
The production moves intercooler Drahtigkeit and today's trendy bold Analogsynthis. Nevertheless, it remains, unlike Beyonce or Rihanna, enough heat between the notes.

This album is much more mature than the solo debut, the artist still remains to wish a little more courage to leave the beaten path and to seek its own musical identity.
