Songstress album Product Description



Songstress album by Anita Baker was released Nov 12, 1991 on the Elektra (Label) label. Digitally remastered by John Matousek & Gerard Smerek (Soundworks West, Hollywood, California). Legions of soul and R&B fans became acquainted with Anita Baker with the release of her now-classic and award-winning debut, RAPTURE. However, it wasn't until her 1983 release, SONGSTRESS, that Baker received widespread adoration, making her one of the leading artists on the R&B music charts. (The opening track, "Angel," hit the Number 5 slot on the national R&B charts in November 1983. ) On SONGSTRESS Baker's rich, deep voice is not only endearing but poignant, even seductive. Her best vocal performances are heard on songs such as "You're the Best Thing Yet" and the superlative "No More Tears." Other highlights include the hit, "Angel" and the melancholic ballad "Sometimes." SONGSTRESS is one of Baker's most compelling and romantic releases to date. Live Recording Recorded at Kendun Studios, Los Angeles, California. Includes liner notes by David Nathan. Personnel: Anita Baker (vocals); David T.   ...See Full Description

Just Warming Up....
Anita Baker was merely warming up to dazzle the world with this first solo CD. Even though this CD isn't her best it gave us what I consider to be her best song ever: "Angel". In my opinion she has never recorded a sweeter sounding song and that is some claim considering her next album (Rapture) put her on the map forever with great aplomb. I mean this is Anita Bake I'm talking about here. On that day in 1983 the world gained a truly priceless treasure. Anita is a textbook example of quality over quantity. Typcially she does more on a album with 8-10 songs than most do with a 15 songs and a gaggle of intro/outros. All nonsense when you see how its really done, by Anita.

Excellent fourplay music....
This is a very special album to me for many reasons! First of all, during the debut of this album, I became familiar with Anita's pure singing talent and range. But as time went on, I realized that the lyrics to the songs added this deeply sensuous and mello vibe to any intimate moment my lady of the moment. In fact, when I listen to these tracks, I am reminded of a special lady from my past; Uhm, uhm, umh...what a quite storm that we shared together. Many of our evenings involved, champaign, hot food, candlelight, warm bath water, and Anita Bakers sweet love songs like: "Angel". Signed, Michael Anthony (The Cancerian)
