Arranger: Anthony Tidd.
On its first full-length in four years, Marie Daulne's Zap Mama project returns to Luaka Bop from a brief encounter with Narada and resumes its quest to wind African melody and vocal harmony around hip- hop, jazzy breaks, soul and Afro Cuban rhythms first explored on 7 and continued with mixed success on A Ma Zone. Produced by Daulne and Anthony Tidd, the music production was supervised by the Roots' Richard Nichols. As such, this exotic blend is earthy, steamy, full of souled-out slips and shimmers in "Bandy Bandy" with special guest Erykah Baud, and the laid-back funk of "Show Me the Way," with guests Air Thompson Bahamadia and Lady Alma. This is far more an urban recording, where urban pop and nu-soul are informed by worldbeat esthetics rather than the other way around. Take "Miss Q'N" with its late-night groove and stacked harmonies (all performed by Daulne) coming from out of the ether and weaving a tapestry of soft seductive lullaby around the lyric. "Yak," with its male chorus intoning the pronunciation ("Yah Yoa") is an intro against the whispering hi hat loop, before a huge chorus of alto and contralto voices re-frame it and Daulne's solo voice. As the hypnotic effect becomes the M.O., M.C. Intense begins rapping from his urban reality perch and throws the whole thing into overdrive. And so it goes, drifting, cutting, edging, and willowing toward some otherworldly collage that is all held together in the sheer vocal magic of Daulne's vision. ~ Thom Jurek

Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Driven by an intrepid experimental aesthetic...a cohesive and highly accessible synthesis of rootsy African sounds and polished American R&B..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Not bad.
The lead singer and background singing is moving and haunting. I simply like it and do not regret purchasing this cd. I look to purchase additional cd's from this artist.

3 stars ZAP MAMA rocks my world
I absolutely love this album!! I received it as a birthday gift from a good friend - and wow - have only been listening to this album since - it's been almost a month now! I find new favourites everyday! Zap Mama is a vocal genius (being a vocalist myself - I am inspired by her vocal arrangments and the vocal journey she takes us through) You rock Zap Mama! One love!

Ancestry In Progress

Several Gil Scott-Heron compilations were released throughout the '70s, '80s, '90s, and early 2000s, but 2005's Messages was the first to concentrate on the material released between 1973 and 1979 -- a productive phase involving seven albums, most of which were represented by a track or two on the preceding overviews. Featuring multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Brian Jackson, these albums were often filler-prone but they were never lacking at least a few moments in which everything clicked. At their best, the duo collaborated on jazzed-up ...

Bryan White Greatest Hits CD  (2000)

Ancestry In Progress
CD $10.59  Top 500 Audio Samples
Personnel includes: Bryan White (vocals, acoustic guitar); Shania Twain (vocals); Larry Byron, Billy Joe Walker, Jr. (acoustic & electric guitar); Dan Dugmore (steel guitar); Jerry Douglas (dobro); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Steve Nathan (organ); Matt Rollings (keyboards); Glenn Worf (bass); Paul Leim (drums); Terry McMillan (percussion); Curtis Young, Dennis Wilson, Wes Hightower, Cindy Walker Richardson (background vocals).
Producers: Billy Joe Walker, Jr., Kyle Lehning, Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
Additional personnel: Shania Twain.
As demonstrated on this compilation, which contains his ten biggest hits and two new tracks, Bryan White never made really compelling country music. In fact, the music is only country-flavored pop, the real antecedents for which lie in early '70s folk-rock. When White performs a ballad like "I'm Not Supposed to Love You," it sounds like the Eagles doing "Desperado"; when he turns to a rhythm song like "So Much for Pretending," it recalls Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With." Clearly, White is more pop than country, and he has paid the price by apparently becoming a has-been before his 25th birthday. The two new songs, "How Long" and "The Way You Look at Me," are typically pleasant, but they don't sound like what's needed to turn things around. As it stands, Greatest Hits, which manages to encapsulate ...
