Reviews of: Melodyby Sharleen Spiteri
Reviews Better than I expected. Given that I haven't truly enjoyed a Texas album since 'White On Blonde' I wasn't sure what to expect from this solo effort. I have to say I was hooked from the first play. It's full of good tunes, very sixties & northern soul orientated & there is obviously a big nod to the Shangri-Las in there. I just don't get why some reviewers are seeing this as a negative. I love listening to sixties pop & Northern Soul & am more than happy to be hearing more of this style of music. Not quite five stars, but it comes close for me. 2009-01-08 Quite difficult to grow in you head.... It seems the songs in this new album of Sharleen is quite difficult to grow in your head if you are used to listening to Duffy and Amy Winehouse..I think Sharleen's voice is too sweet for this kind of music..Apart from the hits, All the times that I cried, and Stop, I dont love you anymore, the rest are just...hmmmmm...just a stare on the ceiling hoping to grow and ripen. 2009-01-07 No stars I don't get the attraction at all. The dullest most devoid of emotion voice I've heard in a long time. No passion. 2008-12-14 Superb Great sounds from the Scottish soulstress. You can really feel what she went through writing the material for this album, it all comes right from the heart. It's really refreshing in a time when all you hear is terrible R&B music for 13 year-olds. Wasn't the biggest fan of Texas, but I'm tempted to listen to the back catalog after listening to this. 2008-12-10 superb along with Duffy these are my 2 albums of the year. Every track is superb, very classy production and I love the use of horns on a lot of the tracks. Only 2 or 3 sound like Texas, otherwise you get Tamla, Nancy Sinatra and a French sound.I wish there were more songs as the 11 fly by when listening and its under 40 mins long. Do another next year Sharleen! 2008-09-30 |
