 (1 Customer Review)
On WHOA NELLY, young songstress Nelly Furtado defies expectations by mixing and matching styles and approaches. The overriding production aesthetic includes R&B/hip-hop loops, beats, and samples mated with pure pop touches and some quirky electronic swoops and lurches. Furtado's songs combine hip-hop attitude with occasional Latin rhythmic accents, but the most striking aspect of this recording is the lyrics.
While it wouldn't be difficult to imagine these arrangements being completely effective framing generic pop sentiments, Furtado places no constrictions on her lyrical muse, using unusual imagery, odd syntax, and inventive scenarios that immediately set her apart from the Top 40 crowd. References to a "Mobius strip," "proper grammar," and the "North American dream" are the rule rather than the exception in Furtado's pleasingly left-field style. Her vocals and the production are so seamless that if you're not paying attention, the unusual lyrics might slip right by. If that happens, Furtado will have made some real headway in subverting the pop mainstream.
"I'm Like A Bird" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Whoa, Nelly album
$14.79
With his first solo release, A Sense of Hope, Rochester saxophonist Erik Nielsen has melded musical genres drawn from his love of soul, gospel, blues, R&B, and jazz into a kaleidoscope of smooth rhythms, lush phrases, and thought-provoking melodies. The album was recorded in three different studios, from Spring Hills and Nashville, Tennessee to Rochester, New York. Guest appearances include top Nashville session’s bassist, Lanice Morrison, currently touring with Michael McDonald; former Poor Old Lou drummer and artist in his own right, Jesse Sprinkle, and noted studio trumpeter Paul Gaspar. “With guys like this playing on this project, anyone in their right mind would be excited,” says Erik. “I thank God every night at the opportunity He has afforded me to play alongside such accomplished and highly esteemed musicians as these.” Erik’s love of music started at the tender early age of three, when he and his five-year old sister recorded the vocals to ”Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep” onto a mono cassette tape recorder. While their rendition never made it beyond the family dinner table, the experience wet Erik’s musical appetite.By the time he was 10, Erik had begun playing the sax in the elementary school band when an aunt supplied him with a saxophone that had been sitting around gathering dust. It was at this time that Erik began to understand that there was more to music than just playing notes.“To be honest, I never enjoyed playing the sax, or music for that matter, until I was a junior in high school, when my friends and myself would go in early, and jam before concert band rehearsals,” says Erik. “I knew I enjoyed playing music, but never made the connection between playing the sax and creating music with my sax.” It was after hearing David Sanborn’s “Summer” in college jazz ensemble that Erik says, “I realized how powerful and influential the sax could be in contemporary music.”During his years at Nazareth College in Rochester, Erik was involved in various party bands and original bands, cutting his teeth in the local music scene, and gaining experience writing his own material. “One of the significant things I learned from my education at Nazareth and Stanley Gaulke, my saxophone professor, was the importance of phrasing, no matter the genre of music. Without phrasing and emotion, it just becomes notes on paper. Music is about feeling and expression of emotion, and I try to convey that emotion in my playing.”While the sax was Erik’s passion, it was his spiritual awakening that had the greatest impact on his life, and eventually his music. “I reached a point in my life where I started to question my own existence, and what my purpose in life was,” says Erik. “I had more ...

What makes guitarist Fred Frith and saxophonist/bird caller John Zorn such a great improv team is that their musical personalities are so different. No matter how hellaciously abrasive the noises he makes, Frith always sounds like a happy guy having fun. No matter how mellifluous the noises he makes (and they are rarely very mellifluous at all), Zorn always sounds like an angry guy who's out for revenge. Both of them also have a sense of humor, which is a good thing when your musical modus operandi involves hitting your guitar with stuff and doing unnatural things with birdcalls. The five tracks on this album were originally recorded in two live venues in 1983 and 1985, just at the beginning of the end of what ...
