Music reviews of Tortoise & Hare
Music Review: The Jazzyfatnastees are back and it's about time
Rating: 5 Stars
I'll never forget when I was talking with a co-worker about music and she said, "What!", you've never heard of the Jazzyfatnastees?" She brought the CD to work and I recorded the CD and 2 weeks later, I went to purchase my own copy of "The Once And Future". The Jazzyfatnastees had a classic on their hands but unless you heard one of their songs on an urban contemporary radio station or heard from word of mouth, you never would have known they were out there. Songs like "The Wound", "Breakthrough", "Sail The Seas", "Related To Me" and my favorite, "Unconventional Ways" were always in my heavy rotation. As time went on, since I didn't hear anything else from the Jazzyfatnastees, I wondered if they ever would release anything else. To my luck, I checked amazon and I saw that they were releasing "The Tortoise And The Hare" in September. "The Tortoise And The Hare" is a nice follow up to their debut CD. The disc starts out with the refreshing "Something In The Way". This is definitely the best song on the CD. Tracey and Mercedes sing about a man that isn't typical of the man that they may have been looking for, but he has qualities that they are feelin'. From there, Mercedes puts you in a trance with the Spanish laced, "El Medio" and then with track #3, the Jazzyfatnastees display some attitude and spunk with "All Up In My Face". Tracks like "Four Lives" and "Adolescent Blues" remind me of why I liked "The Once And The Future" so much. They have a way of writing about real life issues and you can almost picture what they are singing about actually happening somewhere around you. "Compelled" is reminiscent of "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue because of its rock and roll tone to it. In the middle of the midtempo song the beat switches to a more uptempo club track and will surprise the listener when they first hear the song. This track reminds me of when I was at a Maxwell concert and he performed the slow jam "Fortunate" and then switched to a club beat and performed the song over again to the new beat. It is a nice concept, just like what Jill Scott did with her "He Loves Me" (Illegal Mix) from her "Experience" double CD. After hearing the instrumental to the title track,you will wish that the ladies would have added some vocals to all of the ad libs and women will love "Give A Dog A Bone". The Jazzyfatnastees are not a victim of the sophomore jinx at all. These two ladies are very talented and it is just a shame that they don't receive more pub. Scott Storch, who produced the majority of their debut CD, is limited to only one song on this CD, "Tumbling". This is probably the only thing that is missing from "The Tortoise And The Hare", which is why I would rate this CD a 4.5 instead of a 5 like their debut. Randy Bowland, who produced all of Gerald Levert's new CD, "The G Spot", with Gerald Levert and Anthony Tidd who produced "Sail The Seas" and "The Lie" from "The Once And Future" handle the majority of the production this time around, along with the Jazzyfatnastees. The writing gets an A+ as usual. Tracey and Mercedes just have a way with writing and presenting their words. If you liked their debut, there is nothing wrong with "The Tortoise And The Hare". You should add this CD to your Jazzyfatnastees' collection, if you haven't already...
