 (23 Customer Reviews)
"18" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
Continuing to deliver the kind of soulful electronica with an ethereal sheen that made PLAY such a breakthrough album for him, Moby keeps the good vibrations going on the equally engaging follow-up 18. Having previously drawn from such disparate sources as subtle dance beats and samples of African-American spirituals, it's not surprising that this devout Christian once again looked to the church for recruits. This time around the talents of The Shining Light Gospel Choir (the revival-like "I'm Not Worried At All" and the sweeping "In My Heart") and the recently ordained Sinead O'Connor (the lush "Harbour") get tapped.
Moby avoids making 18 a strictly austere affair by throwing some beats onto the barbie in the shape of the thumping Angie Stone/M.C. Lyte collaboration "Jam For The Ladies" and the subtle cut-and-paste funk of "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)." Moby does a fine job manning the mike himself for the striking '80s-style electro-pop meditation "We Are All Made Of Stars" and the equally gorgeous soundscape "Signs Of Love." Ever the sonic chef, Moby has once again succeeded in whipping together a collection of songs that are the musical equivalent of comfort food.

Rolling Stone (5/23/02, pp.77-78) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...His impolitic insistence on stroking his pop-star ambitions...has been good for his music, forcing him to master the pop virutes of melody, variety and rhythmic drive..."

Q (May 2002, p.105) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...Its music is more sensitive, its emotions more personal and...what's on offer is a closer, more inviting experience....They're songs rather than cleverly arranged loops...technically complete and emotionally raw..."
Alternative Press (5/02, p.77) - 8 out 10 - "...18 makes PLAY sound like a what-if experiment in techno blues...Everything is bluesier, achier and more awestruck....Moby's contradictions give 18 its depth and forgive the extrapolation of PLAY's blueprint..."

18
$10.05  
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).

Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).
A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds ...
| | Tom Waits Alice CD (2002)
18
$11.39 
Never one to be outdone, Tom Waits released ALICE and BLOOD MONEY simultaneously, both featuring music written for plays directed by Robert Wilson. Loosely based on THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, ALICE is much more low-key and ballad-heavy than its companion release, but just as incisive and affecting. The title track is a smoky, jazz-tinged torch song that conjures pleasant memories of Waits's evocative work for Francis Ford Coppola's film ONE FROM THE HEART. "Everything You Can Think" is an absurdist portrait a la the seminal RAIN DOGS.

18
$10.69
Contains an untitled hidden track following "A Good Man Is Hard To Find".
Like the simultaneously released ALICE, BLOOD MONEY features songs written for a Robert Wilson play. That's pretty much where the similarity ends; unlike ALICE's moody balladry, BLOOD MONEY is full of crazed, rhythmic pieces of sonic barbed-wire. The lyrics portray the main character of Wilson's WOYZECK, a man filled with madness and rage. The combination of junkyard percussion, ...

KEYNA'S BIO FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE BEEN HUMMING A TUNE, MAKING UP WORDS TO A TUNE, AND DANCING. I FIRST STARTED SINGING TO AN AUDIENCE OF NURSING HOME RESIDENTS AND HOSPITAL PATIENTS. BEING A NATIVE OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN ALL MY LIFE I'VE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE ALL STYLES OF MUSIC. MY TWO OLDER BROTHERS WERE MY ROCK AND ROLL INFLUENCE WITH CCR, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD AND THE WHO.MY SISTER THRIVED ON ELVIS WHILE MY MOTHER COULD SING LIKE PATSEY CLINE, MY FATHER LOVED JOHNNY CASH. LIKE MANY ARTISTS, I SANG IN MY LOCAL CHURCH FOR YEARS WHERE I LEARNED SO MUCH THAT I KNEW WOULD BENEFIT ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. I BEGAN SINGING WITH A BAND IN MY LOCAL TOWN TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO STAGE PRESENCE, LEARNING TO WORK WITH OTHERS AS A TEAM, AND CREATE A FOLLOWING. THE TITLE OF OUR BAND WAS "SOUTHBOUND 75" AND WE SOON FOUND OUT THAT WE HAD A BIGGER FOLLOWING THAN WE EVER IMAGINED. I PLAYED IN THIS BAND FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS, BUT ONE PHONE CALL TOOK MY MUSICAL CAREER IN A VERY DIFFERENT DIRECTION. IN THE YEAR 2005 I WAS ASKED TO PERFORM AN ORIGINAL SONG TITLED, "STAND UP AMERICA" AT THE LAST RALLY FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS A THRILL TO PERFORM A SONG THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME, AND I BELIEVED TOUCHED THE 21,000 LISTENERS THAT WERE IN ATTENDANCE THAT NIGHT. IT WAS A VERY MOVING EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. THE SAME GRAND FUNK RAILROAD THAT MY BROTHERS LISTENED TO WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WAS ALSO THE SAME MARK FARNER THAT ASKED ME TO OPEN FOR HIM IN CONCERT, AFTER HE HAD HEARD ME PERFORMIN HIS LOCAL CHURCH. IT WAS AMAZING TO MEET MARK FARNER AND HIS WONDERFUL FAMILY, AND DEVELOP A FREINDSHIP FOR LIFE. MY NEW PROJECT TITLED, "ZERO TO TEN" WAS A YEAR IN THE MAKING AND I AM SINGING A DUET WITH MARK FARNER ON CUT NO. ELEVEN TITLED, "LOVING YOU". THIS NEW PROJECT HAS ALLOWED ME TO WORK WITH SOME TALENTED MUSICIANS AND PRODUCERS, WHO TAUGHT ME TO MOVE OUTSIDE THE BOX AND TO BE WHO I WAS THROUGH THE MUSIC. AS A SONGWRITER AND A PERFORMING ARTIST, SOMETIMES IT IS A REAL EFFORT TO LET YOURSELF BECOME TEACHABLE TO THESUGGESTIONS OF THOSE AROUND YOU. WORKING IN A STUDIO ALLOWS AN ARTIST TO BE HER OR HIMSELFAND MOVE INTO THE VERY MUSIC THEY HAVE CREATED. PRODUCERS CAN BE GREAT GUIDANCE DIRECTORSFOR AN ARTIST DURING THE STUDIO PHASE AND I BELIEVE I HAVE WORKED WITH SOME OF THE BEST. MARSHALL BLOCK OF REAL II REEL PRODUCTIONS OUT OF FLINT MICHIGAN WHO WAS NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY ON A CHILDRENS PIECE HE PRODUCED. BRENT BAXTER BARRETT WHO IS KNOWN FOR HIS AMAZING WORK WITH INDIA ARIE, AND HIS ABILITY TO PLAY ANY TYPE OF MUSIC, ALONG WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER INSTRUMENTS. RANDY LYNCH, WHO IS A WONDERFUL PRODUCER AND HAS WRITTEN MUSCIAL SCORES FOR MOVIES AND WORKED WITH SUCH STARS AS CELION DION. DICK WAGNER, WHO IS FAMOUS FOR HIS WORKS WITH MANY STARS AND HAD SUCH BEAUTIFUL HITS AS, "ONLY WOMEN BLEED", RECORDING AT THE SOUND KITCHEN IN FRANKLIN TENNESSEE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH, STEWART DUNCAN, ALEX DEPUE, AND DAN DUNSMORE LET ME SEE FIRST HANDHOW VERY TALENTED THESE PLAYERS ARE IN NASHVILLE. ...
