Music reviews of Shine
Music Review: McBride "Shines" with New CD
Rating: 4 Stars
Prime Cuts: I Just Call You Mine, Walk Away, Lies
"Shine" is Martina McBride's 10th studio album for RCA Nashville Records. Such is a fleet almost unheard of in an industry that is infamous to toss an artist to the sidewalk after a misfired single. So what is McBride's secret for her longevity? Unlike some who depend on the latest gimmick, McBride is a bona fide singer. Arguably few females could belt out a note to soaring heights yet possess the glowing passion when she croons with her lower registers like McBride. Unfortunately, over the years, McBride has had her ups and downs, at times she had not been served by songs deserving of her vocal prowess. Thankfully, for "Shine" she has the acuity to team with co-producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Dixie Chicks & LeAnn Rimes) in securing some of the more sturdy and melodious tunes coming from the ever-faithful Music Row scribes such as Ty Lacy, Brett and Brad Warren, Jason Sellers, Tia Sillers, and Robert Ellis Orrall.
Don't let the clumsy title fool you, "Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong" is perfect album opener--its sunny pop-country disposition over an overtly sing-a-long melody is a sure fire summer hit bolstered by the song's message of ever seeing the silver lining in every cloud. While many female artists have fallen into the trite guy-bashing songs, McBride puts her man on a heavenly pedestal on the gorgeous ballad "I Just Call You Mine." Continuing on the balladry stream is the modern pop heartbreaker "Walk Away;" listen to how McBride starts off slow before soaring vocally to the lofty and grandeur heights. Just like "Love Land" from her last CD, "Lies" is piano-driven album closer where McBride deals with her knotty relationships with perspicuity in a heartfelt way.
With a portfolio of songs dealing with social issues, "Shine" has its share. "Wild Rebel Rose," with a slight touch of rustic banjo-led bluegrass, deals with child abuse. McBride has a way of taking taboo topics and dress them with an engaging storyline that makes you listen all the way through not only with our ears but our hearts as well. Perhaps one of the moving moments come when McBride croons with tear-stained delivery the folky "I'm Trying" -- this time dealing with the destructiveness of alcoholism. However, not all her "message" songs work: lead single "Ride" a busy jaunty piece is truckload full of New Age gibberish: "Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky/To shine while you have the chance to shine/Laugh even when you want to cry." Collaroy to the shine theme is "Sunnyside Up," another pop-country barn burner that tries too hard to be a radio darling without the substance.
Despite a few quibbles, what's most rewarding about "Shine" is that each of the songs are different yet they all cohere together via McBride's ever powerful vocals. After all these years, McBride still is a singer's singer. She's a truly gift to music; she uses her vocal range well and on the whole the songs on "Shine" does allow her to glow with affection.
