The one may be used, the use of "real instruments" as a marketing message surprise, but the result could also inspire a anpruchsvolleres audience.
First you have the cheesy Henry mask ballad "The Impossible Dream" survive, but then followed by a surprisingly well-done collection of cover versions, the originals of which are sometimes more, sometimes less known.
"Soothe My Soul" is not over Hammer, but cited relish the Brand-New Heavies and pampered with rich beat and 70 violins, "Get It Right" is wonderful disco pop with soul and drive, and even a ballad like " Part Time Love "sounds no longer after clothes shop Preserve, but thrilled with Supremes choirs and melting violins.
The biggest problem is the often excessive respect for the originals. She adds classics like "Sexual Healing" or "Son Of A Preacherman" not add new facets, the songs interpreted but more than solid.
Highlights are the driving title song with wah-wah guitar and the creamy "Love On A Two Way Street".
The energetic transparent production seems to have left even if the artist's footsteps: she never sounded so soulful, calmly and confidently, without the usual embellishments überkandidelten.
One can only hope that one with this bold new orientation is a chance of an artist and she finds new fans - she deserves it all.
