(1-)
3 - How come you do not call me: There was the 3rd from the album. A single gecoverte that once sung and written Prince, and perfectly Varied to Alicia and octave rich richer voice fits. Especially at the beginning gives Alicia perfect, disciplined singing of a talent and his times but Pianos. (2+)
4 - Fallin ': Following is the culmination of the CD, which was not in vain chosen as pros from single and masterly weeks enthroned in all charts at the top. "Fallin '" is a mature world-class track that impressed through Alicia's voice and the vocals of vocally voluminous background singers. He also brings catchy passages in each sector of the song with lyrical and is a true masterpiece. (1) *
5 - Troubles: Another guarantee arises for hearing Parant. Eingänging Vocally and most importantly - one might call this song whose verses are not really in harmony with the hook and having inappropriate, too deep beats. Nevertheless, this number is quite worth hearing (3+)
6 - Rock with U: This number begins with a long, pure melodic introduction that is somewhat reminiscent of a portion of a theme song to James Bond, and accompanies the entire track to the end. Only after a whopping 1 minute 45 seconds can Alicia durchrringen to sing and discussed a realtiv lame number that stands seen rather beatlich. (3)
7 - A woman's worth: In the second coupling their album Alicia is significantly more to voice than on beats and sounds of her piano, which is still represented. Although smoothige melody is not particularly earth-shattering, they screened over time a real catchy and enthusiastic every time you hear on New. (1) *
8 - Jane Doe: With this title, it is something joyful, faster and above all less cumbersome. Alicia's voice is varied and turns into wavy lines - between quality and mediocrity. No up-tempo hit - to observe but ... (2)
9 - Goodbye: This title is characterized by a very special kind of connection between melancholy and relaxing song is an essential part of carrying the added backing vocals, but also Alicia's voice sounds here exceptionally soothing and straightforward.. Therefore, the shallow, intsrumentale melody is hardly in the foreground, even though the beginning is first class succeeded. (1-)
10 - The Life: Who knows the sound of soul singer Joy Denlane, finds this style with African-American roots in this song again. The timeless, adult singing Alicia can again be proud aboult and copes with a anhörlichen, like other track with aggressive-clear voice. (2)
11 - Mr.Man: Apart from the extractions of this title stands out particularly hevor. First, because he singer ?? positive support is, and, secondly, because the shrill sounds of violins develop a special, respectful character ... Even though the song is not always in harmony with all the instrumental arrangement, there is talk of a gelungegen track. (2)
12 - Never Felt This Way: Extremely fragile and melancholic introduced by the piano, Alicia increases with especially sensitive vocals in the brief interlude. Overall, the song is somewhat reminiscent of older songs by Mariah Carey, who will record through phenomenal vocal performance and high Hooks - as is the case here. (1)
. 13 - Butterflyz: optimally transferred from the previous track, turns "Butterflyz" it after a few seconds of the attentive eavesdropping as highly melodic, and probably theatralischstes piece of CD The various passages (ie verses, chorus and bridge) hardly differ, but Total sounds that song so dramatic, serious, soulful and sad that he indisputably one of the best of the panel. (1)
14 - Why do I feel so sad: It follows a track in the small sense of older Lauryn Hill hits that auszeichenen mostly by simple-minded tone sequences and dominant vocals. In "Why do I feel so sad" both factors are present which in turn ensnare a strange appearing melody that sounds happy and yet sad at the same time. (2)
15 - Caged Bird: Instrumental remembers the last song of the record a little bit of "Through the Rain" by Mariah Carey, seen vocally hardly volume is shown here Still sounds Alicia's voice extremely warm and bright and blossomed the song to a venerable end.. (1-)
Conclusion: To my own surprise, I found out that the well-known, relatively everyday "Front-well / rear-bad theory" (which so many albums of various competitors determined) is here not available after final by listening "Songs in A Minor" and picking from beginning to end very successfully. Each song reflects wayward emotions, be it up-tempo number ... or even ballads, a genre that Alicia is fully ...
Wen the last notes of the song No. Are erklongen 15 and the CD player starts to stop, a large, satisfied emptiness in every listener will once open up that requires some pondering about melodies and lyrics to be replaced and equipped with an Appreciation to become. But those can not be bad, because Christina's "Songs in A Minor" certainly belongs despite its partial unilateral melodies and total same songs to the most mature, most diverse panels of 2001, is due to a number of masterful tracks in any CD collection.
Calculated average devaluation: 1.61 ~ a fair, successful 1-2
