Whitney Goes Street

Advantages: Features the rip-roaring title track
Disadvantages: Some tracks are merely formulaic

...1990 with a fantastic album, I'm Your Baby Tonight, which conveyed her growing maturity as an evidently diverse recording artist and merley supported her confirmed status as perharps, the greatest singer since Aretha Franklin. The I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) album was much more street containing amixture of styles ranging from R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul & Pop. The album opens with the title track, I'm Your Baby Tonight, a nifty, commercial R&B/Pop track ...
...a high with the fantastic, I'm Knockin' which encapsulates a striking mixture of Hip-Hop and R&B, containing undertones of Jazz. All in all, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) is very good and an essential album to have by Whitney Houston even though it didn't enjoy the same critical and commercial acclaim as her first pair of albums had.

Review of Ultimate Collection, The - Whitney Houston

Sophisticated soul from Stax songwriter.

Advantages: A high water mark for the great Stax label, and you can hear why.
Disadvantages: South Park fans may be dissapointed.

Hayes revolutionised soul music with this, his second outing. The first symphonically orchestrated concept soul LP (blimey, quite a mouthful). It only contained four tracks, but four is more than enough with the sheer power and intensity on show here. The eighteen minute extravaganza of By The Time I Get to Phoenix is a standout matched by his twelve minute take on Burt Bacharach and Hal David's Walk On By. To give an idea of the standard of this ...
...releases on the Stax label within three weeks of release and became the first gold release for the company, a big deal in 1969. Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic (another mouthful) and One Woman keep the quality high and although the tracks are long, there is no sense of self-indulgence, helped by the shifting rhythms and tight arrangements. Hayes vocal, well before the self parody of the South park years, lends a sophisticated air to what is an ...

Review of Hot Buttered Soul - Isaac Hayes

Rudolph The Funky-Soul Reindeer? It Gotsta Be Boosty, Baby

Advantages: The Funk
Disadvantages: Few songs sound 'Christmas'y'

...2006 and came as a Christmas album from Funk legend Bootsy Collins (known for his work as a bassist in The J.B.'s, Funkadelic, Parliamnet and Boosty Collins' Rubber Band). It finds him bringing his own P-Funk twist on a variety of Christmas hits in that style as well as Hip Hop and Soul as we get him producing and singing with guest appearances from Gary Shider, Fred Wesley, Bernie Worrell and Snoop Dogg. 1.“N-Yo-City” Starting the album we see that ...
...**Four Stars** 2.“Merry Christmas Baby” Here we find that we get a track that brings the Funk out in a way that you really wouldn't have ben able to anticipate (even with the introductory cut) as we see that here we have synth joining some live instrumental bass work from his brother Catfish Collins, and Boosty himself makes his first apparent on the record by coming to deliver a fly hook and half-developed verses that take you back to the times ...
