Music reviews of Floetic

Music Review: Jus Floetic...
Rating: 4 Stars

I thank curiousity. Why? Without curiousty, i would've never had the strength to pick up this album in the store with all the over hyped [junk] the music industry attempts throwing at you these days. Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius (the songstress) & Natalie Stewart (the "floacist") makes an intelligent and beautiful debut album "Floetic". While it's obvious that Natalie isn't the best emcee with the accent; at best mediocre, Marsha's soulful voice blends everything with an incredible and seductive "flow" (Natalie can be described better as a "story teller" rather than emcee). The intro "Big Ben" it's self almost immediately grabs you with a sharp beat and meaningful lyrics. "Floetic", Floetry's anthem if you will, has a soul-funk beat with "we're here to conquer"-verses. "Ms. Stress" is a ballad talking about a relationship with your classic love conflict. I also think there's a hidden definition in the song (Ms. Stress - Mistress? Maybe?). "Sunshine" is a song describing fantasy from reality, a conflict imbrued with love. "Getting Late" is an obvious self explanatory song. The atmosphere has shifted from pain and hate to bliss & love to a point where it's overboard. It's a very sexy song; a song you should be listening to when your about to be laid."Fun" is an unbeat & funky song about a relationship where the two lovers are never together. Also, it also seems like the guy in the relationship is blaming the girl since the chorus preaches the line "this isn't my idea of fun". "Mr. Messed Up" is a good followup of "Fun", where the woman dumps her lover & realizes that she was changing herself as a person for a guy; Shifting from ignorant to filled with knowledge of the facts. "Say Yes" is yet another seductive love song where the woman is eager for sex from her lover. "Hello" can be a follow up of "say yes" since the song's verses seem to come from a "next day phone call". "Headache" is another song of love conflicts. It talks about a relationship where one doesn't listen to another. "Possibilities" is an uplifting & empowering song they speak in general, to not give up. I especially like the part where Natalie says "who was there that could've stopped me from decomposing & rotting? For putting a permanant solution to a temporary problem?"...strong words. "Hey You" is sort of the positive version of "Fun", where they describe the woman hoping and yearning to see her lover. "If I Was A Bird" is a song is about over coming pain after a serious relationship. "Opera" is an oddly addictive song about a guy that pleases Natalie so much, it made her hit high notes. "Subliminal" is a song about conscious perception...in a general state of mind. The song is sort of deals with peace & just random thoughts. "Butterflies" is an incredible song originally written for Michael Jackson, but Floetry felt that they should've gave it their signature "flow"...since they wrote it. It talks about a woman getting butterflies because she misses her lover. The last song "Now Your Gone" is originally by Sebastian Rogers. Well, it doesn't seem so at first, since he is literally overshadowed by Marsha's vocals. It's like the aftermath of a just-broken relationship.

These days, it seems that appearance seems the key to a succesful career, rather than quality. It's sad that Floetry is completely slept on and is only known by true music listeners. While the first look of the album cover won't grab you in instantly, a quick listen to a random song will. With Natalie's upbeat flowing rhymes & Marsha's incredibly beautiful voice, it's a mystery why they're still waiting at a bus stop.
