Product Description

From Amazon.com

It could be argued that people forgive singers like Whitney Houston and Celine Dion their syrupy song choices because their voices are so magnificent. Almost exactly the opposite is true of coffeehouse cutie Lisa Loeb. While her voice is pleasant enough, it lacks the range, vibrato, and immediacy to rank as a compelling instrument. But set against Loeb's fizzy folk-pop, it becomes an ideal vehicle for her conversational lyrics. That's especially true on Cake and Pie, which bears the confessional stamp of a songwriter who's been around the block enough times to know that life comes stacked with some pretty heinous surprises. Hence subject matter ranging from relationships in decay ("Kick Start") to teenage anorexia ("She's Falling Apart"). There's brightness, too, in tracks like the relatively slamming "We Could Still Belong Together"--originally heard in the film Legally Blonde--and the cheeky, finger-wagging "You Don't Know Me." While Randy Scruggs, Dweezil Zappa, and superstar producer Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette) appear as co-songwriters, Cake and Pie owes its chief debt to Loeb and her willingness to throw open the diary, real or imagined, and start dishing. --Kim Hughes

4.0 out of 5 stars Bryan Ferryのような乙女, 2007/10/4
そういうイメージがどうしてもつきまとってしまう.ヒット作"Firecracker"ではプロデューサがボーイフレンドで,その人と別れたことがきっかけで長いブランクが生じた後,本作や"The way it really is"では,新たなボーイフレンドのDweezil Zappaが曲づくりや演奏で協力していることにとらわれすぎているのかもしれないが,詞の内容がプライベートな恋愛とかなり強く結びついているんだろうな,という妄想がむくむくと膨れ上がる.

"Underdog"の卑屈さは,今をときめく他の歌姫達の曲にはないものだ.あちらの歌姫達の大体が,自らのルックスを武器に,「上から目線」で迫ってくるのが普通でしょう.Lisa Loeb自身がどう思っているのかは知らないが,背の小さい,眼鏡をかけた,あちらではあまりいないようなルックスの彼女が,くるおしいくらいに愛を求め歌い続けるところに,ある種の人々は感情移入しやすいのではないだろうか.

個人的には,Bob Clearmountainがらみの音づくりがとても好きで聴いているのが正直なところ.本作では,数曲でPeter Collinsがコミットしているし,Alanis Morrissetteとの仕事で知られるようになったGlen Ballardのクレジットも見られる.曲によってプロデューサが違っているが,曲の流れや音づくりには統一感がある."Someone you should know"のコーラスの重ね方は,詞の内容とも相まって,恋愛に踏み出せない女性への応援歌としていい効果を生んでいると思う.

そんな彼女が身近に思えたら,一度聴いてみるといいのではないか.
