Who I Am [ECD] - Beverley Knight

...Stephen Lawrence, the London teenager who was murdered in 1993. With lyrics about racism and the lack of change legally and politically since the incident, it is an unusual subject to tackle. I think that the sentiments are well placed, but I don't think that it's one of the strongest tracks on the album. 7/10 'Beautiful Contradiction' -------------------------- The title says it all really - a great collaboration between Bev and Musiq Soulchild ...
...to Beverley Knight for those who are interested in hearing some clever traditional singing / songwriting. 10/10 'Gold' ------- A bit more downtempo this one, this is blues club material. A slowie, Knight sings with her own brand of emotion and honesty. The dated production on it does make it sound a bit like a Gladys Knight track from the 70's, but because her vocals are so good, it still stands her out from amongst the crowd. 8/10 I understand that ...

Review of Who I Am [ECD] - Beverley Knight

...great singer from the UK who is now on her second album 'Who I Am' . She is an R'n'B artist and a very good one. She has won a MOBO award and will continue to be successful for a while. 1.GET UP!-This was the first single released from this album. A brilliant song with a fast rhythm, great to dance to and the singing really fits well. The music is quite simple but it makes an excellent song. This did well in the charts, not sure of the position but ...
...as it ends. WHO I AM-This is an a cappella song to show off her vocals. SHOULD WOULDA COULDA MIX-This is a nice mix and the music is a bit more dull than the original but the singing sounds the same. A great album with a few songs that are not up to her best standard. Shows off her excellent voice and her music style is brilliant also. I would recommend this to all lovers of R'n'B. I will definitely buy her next album ...

Review of Who I Am [ECD] - Beverley Knight

...justice to her versatility. Anyone who saw her on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny last new year’s eve and heard her singing George Harrison’s ‘My Sweet Lord’ will know that she turn her hand (voice?) to almost anything. ‘Who I Am’ is Beverley’s third album and it’s easily her best yet, showing her maturity, versatility, wonderful voice and downright funkiness at its best. The album comprises 11 tracks, ...
...slinky number about two people who just don’t see the world the same but love each other totally. Hurricane Jane Another slow one, and one of the sexiest songs I’ve ever heard. Beverley’s voice simply oozes sex appeal on this number, and the slowly pulsating rhythm and throbbing bass add to the effect. I’ll leave it to you to decide what this song’s about, but I think it’s about something you do alone. Whatever’s ...

Review of Who I Am [ECD] - Beverley Knight

As many of you now, this is CD Crackdown month a craigy2040’s and no that doesn’t mean I am selling all my cool CD’s, I am busy writing ops on most of them! So far we have had Eva, Anastacia and Groove Armada. There are still plenty to come, so watch this space! Today I have chosen to write an op on Beverly Knight. She recently released to great records, got nominated for Mobo’s and has been busy promoting her new album. So ...
...is so cool! It has some really feel good tracks. It also has some more chilled tracks that are worth listening to as well. Overall it is worth getting. If you need more persuasion, then read on: 1. GET UP! – What a wicked track to open with! The song starts well, there are cool drums and Beverly Knight sings little things over it all. The song sounds so good, it is so upbeat and positive. The mixture of her sweet voice, drums and guitar. They ...
