 (3 Customer Reviews)
In 2008 popster Natasha Bedingfield dropped a finely constructed, hook-filled effort in POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE. Rootsy and groove-oriented, but with plenty of contemporary R&B studio polish (a combo especially evident on the reggae-inflected standout "Love Like This," featuring Sean Kingston), POCKETFUL manages to be both laid-back and glamorous at once.
Bedingfield is equally adept at breezy, catchy dance-pop (the title track) as she is at heart-tugging love ballads ("Soulmate"). Sharp productions, head-nodding beats, singalong choruses, and Bedingfield's smooth, appealing vocals make POCKETFUL go down easy, and will keep fans coming back to these tracks again and again.

torchy velvet jazz vocals with high energy techno retro jazz arraangements.this is a new style. this is a new gendre.this is our name for our sound. RETRO JAZZ WITH A TECHNO-TALE.Remember back to the times of the big bands, the 40's, and the blues? I still adore well done musical arrangements of those old classic songs and talented clarinet and sax solos of that general era and genre. Gypsy & Reno are just that . If you like Natalie Cole's style of covers, blues and band, you aren't too far off. Gypsy Eden's low, rich vocals are a SMOKEY SEXY trip. You are treated to such classics written by the likes of Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Jimmy Cox, Joe McCoy, and H. Gillespie. "Cry Me a River", "Embraceable You", "Sophisticated Lady", and "As Time Goes By" are just a few of the wonderful tracks you will hear on this 50+ minute CD. With the lovely vocals, arrangements, and instrument solos, "Reviewed by Shane Matsumoto 6/12/99.OTHER COMMENTS, "Journey. . ." is not a bad investment at all..Reviewed by Shane Matsumoto 6/12/99.OTHER COMMENTSGypsy & Reno are the combined efforts by way of the velvet voice of Gypsy Eden and the engaging musicianship of multi-talented Reno La Grande.Gypsy Eden is originally from St. Louis and is the daughter of the well known guitarist John Brunelli. Gypsy is sought out for her lady crooner's smoky blue-eyed soul style, that takes the listener on a sentimental journey from days of romance past. She finds pleasure in singing of love and love lost, her voice and style are sure to awaken fond memories for many. She warns all to hold on to their heart, get ready to remember and most of all get ready to feel the essence. Gypsy Eden has been described as a "dynamic stylish performer". Which is two bright stars combining talents, creating performances of intense and unique quality.In the year 2000 Gypsy & Reno could be found performing and promoting their CD, in and around the Tampa Bay area in Florida. http://www.summitartists.com/gypsy&reno/GYPSY EDENA Journey to the Heart. . .

When? song reviewsTrack 1- Cry Me A RiverOn this tune the effects on the vocals work well to add depth to the melody. A solid rhythm section gives a strong foundation that allows for some expansion on the keyboard. The Blues Jazz feel compliments Gypsy Eden's sultry vocal style. Track 2- For The Good TimesThis Kris Kristoferson cover comes off with a superior presentation with some great harmony vocals. The groove of the melody takes on a country jazz quality, which lends the tune an excellent dance beat. Track 3- MistyThe unique ...
