| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - Songs In A Minor is definately worth listening to...
Alicia Keys first burst upon the scene at the end of 2001 with her first single Fallin'. She then went on to impress everyone by winning five awards at the Grammys in the Febuary of 2002. After all the hype she recieved, everyone was anxious to see if she actually lived up to the hype she recieved. So did she? Well, in my opinion, yes she did. Her album starts out with an intro called Piano & I which she speaks about reaching goals and how she had to work to get to the spot she is now. It even has a sample of Moonlight Sonata playing in the background. It's followed by the hip hop-like track, Girlfriend with quick beats and Alicia explains that even though she's 'just a friend' of her boyfriend's she's worried about her stealing her guy. A similar track to this is Jane Doe, which is number eight on this album. The third song is How Come You Don't Call Me (Anymore), the anticipated cover of Prince's track and currently the third single. Alicia's voice is incredibly strong (one of the best tracks here), and she turns it into a more up-tempo track by the end. Fallin is next, and to me this is still the best track on the album. It has a slower, more mournful sound to it, and the best part is that many people young and old, male and female, can relate to this track. Troubles is my second favorite on the album, and is extra smooth and so is her beautiful voice here. Other note-worthy tracks are the depressing (but fantastic) Why Do I Feel So Sad and The Life. My advice: Go out and get this if you haven't already!
Top Five:
1. Fallin
2. Troubles
3. Why Do I Feel So Sad
4. How Come You Don't Call Me (Anymore)
5. The Life
5/5 - KEEP LISTENIN 2 IT
wen i 1st bought this cd, i didnt really listen 2 the songs + just skimmed thro them, but wen i actually sat down + listened to it properly and the words, i couldnt believe i had actually even considered this was "rubbish". Alicia talents could not have shined thro more amzazingly + beautifully. Everythin from the lyrics to the beat of the songs themselves, are written so soothingly.
Theres a real calmness 2 this album, so if ur goin thro a stressful time + just wana wind down 2 som calming but cool sounds then this is an album 4 u!
HOPED MY REVIEW HELPED U MAKE THE RITE CHOICE! ***
1/5 - Great CD! High recommendation!
Great Cd! I do think some of the lyrics could have been better. The profanity in it was not necessary at all. she can express herself better with out it. the top 10 songs on the cd are:
10. Caged Bird
9. Jane Doe
8. Mr. Man
7. Womans Worth
6. Butterflyz
5. How Come U Dont Call Me
4. Girlfriend
3. Fallin'
2. Why Do I Feel So Sad
1. Never Felt This Way
P.S.: this is just from the top of my head and from my point of view. i didnt pick fallin as #1 because i wanted to give all of the other songs to stand out and to kind of come to your attention more. anyway, i think all of the songs are pretty good and i think it would be a great buy for you or a friend!
i also highly recommend her 2nd cd. |
