The All Music Guide adds. . .
The first solo album from the star of The Color Purple's Broadway revival,
Harriet, and Genius: Aretha offers highly emotional and polished adult pop
that integrates a little gospel, blues, soul, and folk. If Cynthia Erivo's
voice wasn't so nuanced -- it can shift from conveying grief to bliss with
little apparent exertion -- the rarely ceasing sense of gravity in her lyrics
would be taxing. During only the first few songs, she sings of dying inside
(after doom scrolling), self-immolation (the result of "playing with fire"),
and the death of a baby in his mother's arms (from an unspecified cause).
There's never any mistaking the songs for the work of anyone but an actress
who happens to have a capital-V voice, as they're all suitable for a stage or
big-screen production. The closing sequence -- consisting of a deeply moving
piano ballad addressed to her absent father, a triumphant self-empowerment
anthem, and a reassuring tribute to her mother and sister -- is undeniably
powerful.
Ripper's Notes:
The first solo album to the heir to the Wicked Empire, who's proven herself
every bit equal to the best singer of her generation, Idina Menzel. Her
voice is amazing, but, unfortunately, her songwriting just doesn't do it for
me, this album is just kinda boring. In all honestly, though, it's also
not really my kinda music, so, I'd let the All Music Guide, who have come
under fire from many mainstream artists, for the their blunt and honest
reviews, serve as a more accurate picture.
I Forgive You, her second solo album is MUCH better. I grabbed the Target
exclusive version of that one, with two a capella bonus tracks, but it
won't rip without errors, which is probably why it isn't available at the
higher quality music sites. If you don't care about a perfect rip with a
log, you can always grab Cynthia_Erivo-I_Forgive_You-Deluxe_Edition-CD-
FLAC-2025-PERFECT where ever you get your scene releases.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
