On Everything But the Girl's 1984 self-titled debut, the British duo of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn offers up a seemingly light, breezy set of jazz-inflected pop tunes that makes no qualms about evoking the bossa nova boom of the '60s. What makes these songs stand out from other acts in the lounge set, however, are Thorn's nuanced vocals and Watt's literate, melancholy lyrics and smart, subtle arrangements. The lilting single "Each and Every One" proved to be a hit in EBTG's native U.K. (where this album was released, with a somewhat different track list, as EDEN), while other tracks, including the dreamy, droning "Frost and Fire" and the slightly New Wave-ish "Never Could Have Been Worse," opted for mood over melody. Although Watt and Thorn would have to wait until the mid-'90s for their U.S. breakthrough (the surging dance remix of "Missing"), this record firmly establishes the core of the EBTG sound, allowing for the fascinating stylistic experimentation on subsequent releases.

Everything But The Girl
 $6.09 
Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn returned to the direct record-making style of their first two albums on Worldwide. Here, the music was carried largely by Watt's bank of keyboards. But the duo's lyrical concerns reflected their recent frenetic lifestyle. Sooner or later, every group that lasts makes a road album, and this was the one for Everything But the Girl, its songs nostalgically reminiscing about ...

Everything But The Girl
$9.29
Acoustic presents two side projects in one. The first half of it consists of Everything but the Girl's covers of six songs by other contemporary performers. The second half contains two live recordings and four re-recordings of songs from Everything but the Girl's repertoire. All of the songs are performed with spare, acoustic instrumentation. The group's favorites are predictable -- Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Tom Waits at their quietest -- and while the choices are indisputably good ones -- "Alison," "Downtown Train," Cyndi ...
| | Everything But The Girl Amplified Heart CD (1994)
Everything But The Girl
$9.59 
On AMPLIFIED HEART, this pop duo's mesmerizing blend of swooning Fleetwood Mac-like vocal textures and modern dance floor beats is a departure from their previously sparse, jazzy acoustic style, but is equally as beautiful. Out of a fertile territory of delicate melodies and precise musical passages, vocalist Tracey Thorn allows us to peer in at both her chilling memories and warmest moments. With the often overwhelming sincerity of Ben Watt's ...
| | Everything But The Girl Baby, The Stars Shine Bright CD (1986)
Everything But The Girl
$9.29
On their third album, Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, Everything But the Girl tries another departure on their craftsmanlike ballad style, hiring a full orchestra to give a lush backing to songs usually concerned more with sexual than national politics. Their last album, Love Not Money, may have boasted a considerable social agenda, but here Tracey Thorn sings of romantic disappointment and illicit liaisons, only occasionally bowing to such favorite themes as the lure of fame ("Country Mile"), fantasies about American movie stars ("Sugar ...

Through a sea of changes they moved, from sparse indie folk to jazz, and with this album, they slotted into the classy pop niche. Very much a cosy 80s album for those that had weathered the new wave ...
| | No Doubt Return Of Saturn CD (2000)
Everything But The Girl
$10.55  
RETURN OF SATURN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
Pop-ska rockers No Doubt make their long-awaited return with the follow-up to the hugely successful TRAGIC KINGDOM. The band's fiery dynamic remains intact as vocalist Gwen Stefani's penchant for emotionally charged tales of heartbreak drive the single "Ex-Girlfriend," "Simple Kind Of Life" and "Bath Water." In "The Magic's In The Makeup," Stefani's lyrics speak of yearning to be appreciated beyond surface beauty for who she really is while the band reaches for a thicker sound and more complex arrangements.
Illusions and metaphors exploring the darker side of love set the tone of "Artificial Sweetener." "Marry Me" uses a melodic, staccato bass line to drive the reggae-tinged tale of the insecurities and doubts surrounding commitment. In "New" Stefani metaphorically compares fresh batteries to the optimism and excitement of a new relationship. "Too Late" is an atmospheric, bittersweet power ballad while "Staring Problem" throttles with the quirky punk energy that long-time fans will embrace. With two years in the making, RETURN OF SATURN finds No Doubt a tighter, more mature unit, focused more on pop songs and production and leaning slightly away from the ska/horn dominated sound of their past.
Recorded at Royaltone, NRG, Hang Suite and Ocean Way Recording, Hollywood, California; Aerowave, Encino, California.
Producers: Glen Ballard, Jerry Harrison, No Doubt, Matthew Wilder.
Engineers: Karl Derfler, Alain Johannes, Thom Panunzio.

| | Terri Clark Pain To Kill CD (2003)
Everything But The Girl
$12.65
The most impressive thing about PAIN TO KILL is the way it dances around genre boundaries. "I Just Wanna Be Mad" neatly meshes a bluegrass-derived fiddle riff with pop-rock production while offering one side of an ultimately benign lover's quarrel. The title track is a roadhouse rocker that kicks off with some dirty, Stones-like guitar, and "Three Mississippi" comes off like a cross between Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. While Terri Clark is surely no one's idea of a country traditionalist, she eschews the pop excess of the Faiths and Shanias of the world; PAIN TO KILL is conspicuously absent of precious, drama-filled diva ballads. Instead, Clark offers a straight-ahead amalgam of pop, light rock, and mainstream country, delivered in a direct, honest voice.

Everything But The Girl

Twenty years after Värttinä began, there's still plenty of energy in the band, although they've come a long, long way. More mature, they've learned to use finesse over speed, and the themes they tackle here are certainly more adult -- romantic betrayal recurs in both "Syyllinen Syli" and "Nahkarouska," although in both instances the woman sends the faithless man packing. The keening voices, once a band trademark, have all but vanished, replaced by more delicate harmonies that suit the material, and the six instrumentalists give them plenty of room -- although they're quite capable of making a storm of noise, too. There's a real beauty to songs like "Tuulen Tunto" and "Maahinen Naito," while "Tauti" is edged with the black clouds of foreboding. After their live disc, they seem to be embarking on a new musical chapter, in search of new pastures, and the journey ...
| | Evie Sands Estates Of Mind CD (1974) (Import) United Kingdom
Everything But The Girl
$15.85
Evie Sands had written a set of songs for a new album by the time she met those who would work with her on it, including the production team of Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter. Lambert and Potter helped her to plug into a high-level rank of studio musicians, including Michael Omartian (keyboards), Ernie Watts (horns and arrangements), and Dean Parks (most guitar work), and produced and arranged the album to mid-'70s standards. Thanks to Sands' songs, which were amenable, and the gel of her harmony vocals with Lambert himself, Estate of Mind was one of the better pop/rock albums of the mid-'70s. (It certainly deserved better than its poor sales performance.) Sands' originals included "Love in the Afternoon" (which appeared one year before "Afternoon Delight" and deserved to be a bigger hit), and several more red-hot songs -- including the mid-level hits "You Brought the Woman out of Me" and "I Love Makin' Love to You" -- all of which matched Sands' sultry expression on the cover of the album. ~ John Bush

"Take Me For A Little While", "I Can't Let Go", "Angel of The Morning", "Any Way That You Want Me"... all these classics were originally recorded by Evie Sands! The young girl who Dusty Springfield called "my favourite singer" recorded for classic rock'n'roll labels like Blue Cat/Red Bird, Cameo-Parkway and A&M! Starting her career as a singer/songwriter at the tender age of 12, Evie was soon taken under the wing of Chip Taylor, who wrote all the above songs for her, only to be cheated of the hit on each occasion (except in Northern Soul circles where she always ruled!) until "Any Way That You Want Me" became a monster hit in 1969, followed by this, her only 1960's album. A superb collection of pop/soul with that magical A&M Sound touch for good measure! (Evie backed out of the spotlight to concentrate on songwriting, with her songs recorded by diverse artists like Gladys Knight, Dusty Springfield, Barbra Streisand and Beck & Beth Orton.)
