| | La Bouche Sweet Dreams CD La Bouche Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
All songs co-written by G.A. Saraf or G. Mart except "I'll Be There" (I. Karmann/F. Weber), "Fallin' In Love" and "Fallin' In Love (Spike Mix)" (Dan Hamilton/Ann Marie Hamilton).
The booklet for this disc contains a drawing of a huge mechanical gear, and that about sums up La Bouche's approach to dance music. This is relentless, machine-made music, the kind that has always (and will always) filled the world's dance floors with sweating, churning bodies. It's not entirely synths and sequencers, though. Melanie Thornton throws a soulful element into the mix--her solid voice. It rides on top of the incessant disco stomp of the hit "Sweet Dreams" (heavily borrowed from Eurythmics), and winds around the sinewy remake of the ubiquitous '70s smash "Fallin' in Love" (originally done by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds). Yes, thanks to La Bouche, the beat goes on...and on...and on.
La Bouche's music is pretty direct. The duo, comprised of Lane McCray and Melanie Thornton, are a Euro-pop combo that turns out tightly-constructed psuedo-disco songs with just enough pop flourishes to make their sound appealing to mainstream listeners. There's not much here in the way of songs -- every track is basically repeated grooves, with a couple of catchy hooks overdubbed on top -- but the sound is quite good and should be appealing to dance fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

A Hot CD La Bouche is hot! The music is hot, the lyrics are hot. Keep it coming La Bouche! Sweet dreams (That means goodbye) Submitted by a reviewer (Queens, NYC) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Good Buy!! If you want good, pumpin' high NRG Eurodance music, then this is the CD for you! Enough said, just buy the CD. I'm not a representative for CD Universe, I'm just a college student that likes to dance, so I guess you can say that I'm an expert (a-hem).

| | Whitney Houston One Wish: The Holiday Album CD (2003)
Sweet Dreams CD music
$8.49 Whitney Houston's soulful, elastic voice was practically made to wrap around Christmas standards, but despite the naturalness of the match, ONE WISH, out for Christmas 2003, as the singer neared her third decade of performing, marks her first holiday album. What lies within shouldn't disappoint as she covers many familiar tunes with just a sprinkle of recent music, the sweet-as-sugar title track originally by Freddie Jackson.
While Houston's been through her share of publicized drama over the years, her voice betrays no hint of the strife on ONE WISH. She begins in the vein of a female Nat "King" Cole, smoothly crooning "The First Noel" and "The Christmas ...

| | Preacher's Wife CD (1996) Original Soundtrack
Sweet Dreams album
$10.09 THE PREACHER'S WIFE was nominated for a 1988 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "I Believe In You And Me" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
That renaissance gal is at it again. As in THE BODYGUARD, Whitney Houston does double duty as star and soundtrack provider for THE PREACHER'S WIFE. Don't look for her to be sticking to the commercial pop-R&B sound that served her so well on her last soundtrack album, though. THE PREACHER'S WIFE finds Houston reaching back to her roots in gospel, and collaborating with some stellar gospel artists, including her mother, Cissy.
Several cuts here, including "Hold On, Help Is On The Way" and "I Go To The Rock," find the soulful Georgia Mass Choir supporting Houston in her return to the fold. On "He's All Over Me," Houston is joined by gospel great Shirley Caesar as well. On a more modern tip, Houston delivers "Somebody Bigger Than You And I," accompanied by a veritable who's-who of contemporary R&B, including her husband, Bobby Brown, and Brown's New Edition bandmates Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant. THE PREACHER'S ...

| | Tokens Lion Sleeps Tonight CD (1961)
Sweet Dreams album
$15.15 This classic song from the Tokens is backed with three b-sides.
The Tokens hit big in 1962 with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)," a recasting of a South African tune that had been an earlier hit for the Weavers (the song had actually been written by Zulu songwriter Solomon Linda and was originally entitled "Mbude"). Infectious and full of a kind of vaguely eerie and ominous wisdom, the song has been a hit many times over in various hands. The Tokens, for their part, tried to repeat the trick several times (although without the lions) in such songs as "A Tale of Two Lovers," "B'wanina," and "Monkey Vendor," all of which ...
