As an official card-carrying weasel of the music industry I've gotten the chance to hear the new album (at least 10 times in the past week) and it is truly an awesome artistic accomplishment...not to mention just a great f#@%king album. The Howie B production is dense and deep, with a rhythmic mix that pushes the "funky but chic" envelope in just the right places. Holly's voice is a marvel, particularly on the 2 David Kahne-produced tracks "Switched" and the album's finest song "Something Else" (must agree with Jason on this on )...It is a bold, sometimes challenging pop masterpiece that simply gets richer with each listen (as the best albums do). Holly sez that she wants the songs to "sound like dreams feel" and there is truly a sense that you're on some ethereal aural journey from one track to the next, with the emotions touching pain, anger and jubilation, sometimes within the same breath. "Flash Flood" is slinky and wet, with a killer bass line..."Small Room" rocks with rhythm and grace ..."Divided" is a sweet, demented elec rolux take on a jazzy vocal style -- Lambert, Hendricks and Ross meet LTJ Bukem... And "Happily Ever After" closes the disc with with a ferocious kick and vocals that will give you chills (glad not to be the "ex" in this relationship)...I could go on but I d rather listen than type..."Tender Hooks" indeed, Holly. >> *got my tix for Sarah, Paula, Melissa & Co @ Rock For Choice!* ~edward P.S. jenni or lizza, could you help post this on FTE for me, since i'm no longer subscribed? thanks very much! :) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V4 #65 **********************************
