Music reviews of Back to Now
Music Review: They Still Have It After All These Years
Rating: 4 Stars
If you're a Labelle fan you will appreciate this cd. Aptly titled "Back To Now," it reflects the style of music they've done throughout their career. "Roll Out," the track featuring Wyclef Jean shows their willingness to always try something new. That's the "Now" in cd's title
Back in their Bluebelle days they typically performed a standard in their show..."Danny Boy," "Over The Rainbow," and often closing their set with "You'll Never Walk Alone." Not to disappoint they close the cd with "Miss Otis Regrets," a Cole Porter standard. That's the "Back" in the title. The song has traditionally been used by female jazz vocalists to highlight their improvisation. It was daring for them to include this and they nail it. Their version is among the best I've heard.
The group's social consciousness is still in evident on three of the tracks, "The Truth Will Set You Free," "Tears For The World" and perhaps the most emotional track on the cd, "Dear Rosa," their tribute to Rosa Parks.
This cd is a must for any Labelle fan. While most classic groups have destroyed themselves as a result of shortsightedness and petty in-fighting, it is a testament to Patti, Nona and Sarah's love for each other and their fans that they are still artisitcally in synch after all these years.
Description of Back to Now
Labelle is back with one of the most anticipated recordings of 2008! Sounding every bit as sassy, fresh and edgy as in their heyday, Patti, Nona and Sarah have brought together some of the powerhouse talents of today & yesterday to create a true event. The first single 'Rollout' prominently features Wyclef Jean on an upbeat contemporary anthem that will expose Labelle to a whole new audience. Lenny Kravitz plays all over the three tracks he produced combining unique R&B retro sounds with his natural rock edge. The Masters of Philly Soul Kenneth Gamble & Leon A. Huff bring their magic to four of the album's ten tracks. The album closes with a recording of 'Miss Otis Regrets' from 1969. Produced by Kit Lambert.General CDs
