| | Mandy Moore CD Mandy Moore Discography of CDs
This is an enhanced audio CD which includes regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Though the first cut on this young belter's self-titled release will have you scanning the composer credits for the presence of teen-pop maestro Max Martin, Mandy Moore is stylistically confident enough to venture into sonic areas beyond the usual Aguilera/Spears axis. For one thing, there's more of a pronounced R&B flavor to Moore's songs than those of her contemporaries. The production takes more chances as well, as witnessed by the exotic textures that open the lush "Saturate Me" and "One Sided Love."
That said, this album features enough carefully crafted synth hooks, sensually breathy sighs, and infectious melodies to compete with a thousand Christina Aguileras. Fortunately, Moore's talent is singular and substantive enough that such considerations shouldn't pose a problem.
Personnel includes: Mandy Moore, Jon Secada (vocals); Matthew Hager (guitar, keyboards, programming); Tim Mitchell, Julian Adam Zimmon (guitar); Julie Rogers, Alice Lee (violin); Brett Banducci (viola); Tiomthy Loo (cello); Doug Emery (keyboards); Liza Quintana, James Renald (background vocals).

Entertainment Weekly (6/22/01, p.90) - "...She tries out new sounds - Eastern rhythms, jangly percussives - that help separate her from the pack of Britney look-alikes..." - Rating: B- Mandy Moore Review

Mandy Moore album
$11.19 Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented ...

Mandy Moore CD music
$16.39 Rosie’s BackstoryI grew up in Pennsylvania in what was then a little town called Blue Bell.I am the youngest of eight children from an Italian-Irish home.From my earliest recollections, all I ever wanted to do was sing. So I did from morning to night sharing my days with a small pony named Lollipop.We’d spend our days wandering the fields and woods and neighborhoods of Blue Bell, and I would sing him all of my favorite songs. (Lollipop might have had his favorites, but he never shared them with me.) I sang songs like The Shadow of Your Smile, Who Can I Turn To, What Kind of Fool Am I, and Don’t Rain on My Parade --great songs, great times.My whole family loved to sing. My Dad and mother were both singers, and we all shared in their love of music. We sang in the evenings around the piano with my mom at the keys; we sang doing dishes; we sang at family gatherings. It gave us so much joy and kept the family connected while the natural stress of seven siblings took it’s toll. My dad would bring home songs for us to listen to --songs by Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jimmy Durante, Eydie Gorme, and Vikki Carr. It was always such a treat to see my dad come up the walk with an album in his hand.When I was about 12, my mother arranged for me to study voice lessons with a woman who shared my unusual first name, Rosina. I thought it was very special. Rosina taught me the beginning techniques and lifelong joy of singing.One evening in the spring of my eighth grade year my mother told me I had a vocal scholarship audition to an area high school. Wow, this was great.I won that scholarship, and it changed my life. I went to high school and sang and sang. I felt so free. I actually met my husband in my junior year. But as I moved closer to graduation and what I knew was my opportunity to pursue my one and only dream, my father decided that the pursuit of a singing career was not what he wanted for his youngest daughter.What a blow for me. I could never have crossed my very strong-willed Italian father at that age, and I didn’t. To make sure I didn’t, I developed a throat issue that kept me from singing until I was in my thirties and well into my own family. As I moved forward in my twenties, I looked at other areas of life that might prove interesting. I married my high school sweetheart. I went to Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School and became an administrative assistant working for some wonderful people. But it surely wasn’t for me. I kept looking. I received my Real Estate license. That wasn’t it. I read the phone book hoping something else would spark my soul. Nothing did.I attended a variety of colleges trying out any and every direction I hadn’t ventured before. I studied communications, home economics, sewing, fashion design, flower arranging, horticulture and landscape design. Then I became pregnant with my first daughter, so I put school aside for a while. After my second daughter was ...

Mandy Moore songs
$12.09 The dogmatists and ideologues of the jazz world love to tell musicians what they can or cannot sound like; they will insist that if one wants to be taken seriously as a jazz improviser, he/she cannot have any rock, pop or R&B influence whatsoever. But thankfully, many jazz musicians ignore the dogmatists and ideologues and follow their own musical instincts -- which is what Kenny Carr does on Changing Tide. Much of this 52-minute CD has a lot to offer from a hard bop/post-bop standpoint; the California guitarist, who composed and arranged all of the material, keeps things straight-ahead on hard-swinging tracks like "The Chase," "Downstairs," "Tempo Tantrum," and the 12-bar jazz/blues item "Blues for Ray." But things become more pop-influenced on "Costa del Sol," "East Side Groove," and the congenial "Bay to Breakers" -- not pop-influenced in the elevator music sense that so many smooth jazz/NAC radio stations are infamous for, but definitely more pop-influenced than Changing Tide's hard bop and post-bop offerings. One hears a variety of influences ...
