Music reviews of Wikked Lil' Grrrls
Music Review: "A Musical Extermination"
Rating: 2 Stars
"We are in need of a musical revolution...I'm tired of the same old...I want something more."
I couldn't agree more with you on that. But I have to tell you this isn't it. I will tell you what this is. A step above Fergie, a bit more creative but still a huge disappointment. A little bit of Jazz, a little bit of dance, and a lot a bit of hip hop. And while it does still sound like Esthero. It doesn't. She rehashes the same old same old superficial topics that appear on every hip/hop and pop album out there. The depth is fleeting. Sadly this album is not unique as much as it tries to be. One thing she does have is an amazing voice, I hear a bit of Bjork in there but much more polished.
What happened to the harsh reality that slapped you in the face, the style, the essence that was born out of "Breath from Another"?
Description of Wikked Lil' Grrrls
Wikkid Lil' Grrrls is a sexy, sophisticated blend of hip-hop, jazz, dance, rock and soul. Add Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob, Sean Lennon and a crew of producers including Dr. Dre cohort Camara Kambon (Eminem, Mary J. Blige) and Wikked Lil' Grrrls is as wikked cool as Esthero herself.After the release of Esthero's heralded 1998 disc Breath from Another, the Toronto singer seemed to have an open road of opportunities ahead of her. Breath soared on people's best-of lists, allowing Esthero the chance to collaborate with everyone from the Black Eyed Peas and Mos Def to Sugar Ray. Her future seemed filled with long-term opportunity and promise. Strangely, however, after that bright burst, the singer all but disappeared. Aside from the occasional guest performance, it was seven years of curious silence. For being such a talented singer-songwriter--one deeply influenced by Nina Simone, Saul Williams, and Burt Bacharach--her jazzy, sultry, hip-hop grooves were timely, yet strangely absent. Finally, with Wikked Lil' Girls and its first single, "We R in Need of a Musical Revolution," the silence wasn't just broken, it was blown wide open. An acerbic, beat-driven track, the song unapologetically attacks the current state of pop music ("I'm so sick and tired of the s#@! on the radio") rightfully and righteously. The disc then shifts from uptempto timeless pop ("Every Day Is a Holiday," featuring Sean Lennon) to sexy downtempo ("Beautiful Lie") and then to a later section of slow songs and smooth jazz--a fluid rollercoaster of sound. The final song, "Dragonfly's Outro," is a gorgeous, float-on-clouds track with horns sampled from '80s soundtrack legend Bill Conti. Mixing up vocal styles, interesting samples, and great contemporary beats, it shows how great Esthero can be at her best--an amalgamation of many influences and her own talented, wikked ways. --Denise Sheppard
