Nestled between Russia, Iran, and China, Uzbekistan offers a fascinating fusion of musical traditions. Usmanova, in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet regime, has, in this, her first American-released album, taken those traditions and fused them with Western dance music. Such a hybridization often yields a monstrosity, but in this case the product is an inoffensive mix of uptempo quasi-disco and heartfelt ballads. For example, "Schoch Va Gado" opens with a prelude on solo lute and moves to slow, soft singing by Usmanova, backed by gentle washes from the synthesizer; the selection is also punctuated by short solos from the regional fiddle. Some songs are less Westernized than others, like "Yor-Yor," which is dominated by local percussion and fiddle as well as Usmanova's crooning, imploring vocals.

Although this album can't be strongly recommended to those who prefer their world music unadulterated, it might be good fun for the dance music aficionado or for the world music beginner who needs a bridge to such an alien culture. ~ Kurt KeefnerOption (9-10/95, p.145) - "...There are complex layers of syncopated folk percussion and droning, reedy keyboards, and the understated production succesfully and subtly blends acoustic and electronic textures..."

On her second album for Concord's Stax imprint (and fourth overall), Angie Stone delves deeper into funk and hip-hop than on her previous outings. Her last offering, The Art of Love & War, was a critical and commercial triumph for the vastly underrated vocalist, and topped the Billboard chart. With a slew of producers including Sly Williams, Willie "Chuck" Shivers, Karrim King and Fitzroy Reid, Steven "Supe" White, Jonathan Richmond, Jazze Pha, and Stone herself, these dozen tracks continue to reveal her ...

Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. ...

Losing Faith
Audrey Auld Losing Faith CD  (2003)

Alma Alma album
CD $12.05  Audio Samples
While the religious imagery of Losing Faith's title cut may seem a bit heavy for a country song, Audrey Auld's incisive lyrics cut a bit deeper than the average Nashville ballad. When the singer compares placing one's faith in a love interest with placing one's faith in Christ ("And feed me drops of water/And tell me it was wine"), it adds a new twist to relationship dependency. While this all may sound awfully serious, Auld wraps her lyrics in an energetic musical package that never forgets to entertain. There are also good-time songs like "Doin' Well," complete with old-time fiddle and the delicious line, "I say yeah, you can go to hell/I'm staying here, I'm doing well." As with her previous album, Auld, who hails from Australia, seems to know more about traditional country than post-'90s Nashville. There's still room in her musical vision for steel, dobro, and mandolin, and she even includes an old-fashioned duet with Fred Eaglesmith on "B-Grade Affair." Auld marries this love of country roots to a modern sensibility, writing smart songs that have something to say about life and relationships in 2003. Losing Faith ends pleasantly with "Harmony," a quiet duet with Kieran Kane, bringing a stimulating album to a satisfying conclusion. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. "Losing Faith" Winner of the MerleFest Chris Austin Song Contest 2006 Country Category.“The beauty of Audrey's work is that she understands the power of simplicity. Whether it be in a traditional country setting or on the more edgy tracks her voice stays honest and true." ~ Kieran Kane"Losing Faith" is a stunning follow-up to Audrey Auld's ARIA nominated debut release "The Fallen" - a debut which earned her international acclaim. Featuring duets with three of the biggest names in alternative country - Fred Eaglesmith, Mary Gauthier and Kieran Kane and collaborative contributions from some of Australia's and the USA's best musicians - Bill and Kasey Chambers, Michael Carpenter, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Spenser Campbell, Camille Te Nahu, Gerry Hale, Mick Albeck, & Dave Steel. Audrey's been to the depths of a broken heart and returns with one hell of a tale to tell. This is no jagged little pill, this is life administered intravenously. "Losing Faith" re-invents hillbilly rock, setting it with moments of acoustic sweetness, ...
