Product Description

From Amazon.com

As long as there are stairwells in American high schools and lamps on American street corners, teenagers will get together to harmonize. With the multiplatinum success of Boyz II Men and En Vogue as inspiration, more young vocal groups than ever are moving from stairwells to recording studios. Almost all these singers have put in the long hours to turn good voices into precision parts in a harmony machine, but polished soul harmony singers still far outnumber gifted songwriters in this genre. For all the activity in the field, the genuinely satisfying soul harmony album is still a rare event. One such triumph is From the Bottom Up, the debut release by Brownstone, three women whose strong, versatile voices and tall, striking looks remind one immediately of En Vogue.

What saves this project from the assemblyline anonymity of so many committee-produced R&B albums is the personal involvement of singer Nichole "Nicci" Gilbert, who cowrote 11 of the 12 songs and coproduced four of them. The result is the best of both worlds: the craft of seasoned professionals and the distinctive personality of a young woman with her own story to tell. Their first hit, "If You Love Me," which sets the pattern for an album celebrating the intoxication of romance but demanding respect as well. The three women's ability to fashion harmonies out of full-throated gospel parts rather than easier-to-blend soft singing is one of the album's chief pleasures. And they are versatile enough to handle everything from the reggae dancehall tracks of "Sometimes Dancin'" and the wah-wah funk tracks of "True to Me" to the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why." Soundbite cut: "If You Love Me." --Geoffrey Himes

5.0 out of 5 stars ほれぼれしてしまいます, 2001/8/15
彼女たちの歌声にほれぼれしてしまうくらいかっこよい歌が詰まってます。テンポの良い歌からバラード調の曲まで幅広くあって、どんな気持ちの時にもこのアルバム一枚の中から選曲できそうな感じ。 特にR&Bファンの方になら絶対に聴いて欲しいアルバムの一枚ですよ。

5.0 out of 5 stars 広がり感がたまらん, 2002/12/3
この時期、女性ボーカルグループは数々出ましたが、
声の、広がり方は他のグループと一線を引いております!
「If you love me」は名曲。イーグルスのカバー曲
「I can't tell you why」の後半などは、ゾクゾクさせられました。
後のmimiちゃんの脱退は痛かったけど、彼女達のルーツである
Gospel Vocalのテイストも充分に味わえる1枚。

5.0 out of 5 stars やはりデビューアルバムは良いね。, 2004/8/17
どのアーティストにも言えるが、デビューアルバムが一番良い。
彼女達も後にメンバー交替、脱退、解散になるのだが、
この初期メンバーの作品が勢いもあり素晴らしい。
女性ボーカルグループなら、やはりEn Vogueが素晴らしいが、
Brown Stoneの場合は、粗雑ながらも3人の響き合う声が素晴らしい。
荒さがよりゴスペルフィーリングが強く感じられるのかも。

オススメは(1)(2)(3)(8)。隠れた名曲が(12)かな。
