Music reviews of Somewhere In My Lifetime
Music Review: Great remastering of a classic Hyman album
Rating: 5 Stars
I really am thrilled that almost all of Phyllis Hyman's actual albums have been released remastered over the past few years. Phyllis was such an amazing songstress who possessed amazing range and emotive ability. There was no song she couldn't give her own interpretation to. She just opened her mouth and that magical voice flowed effortlessly. The tragic end of her life so early was such a loss and over the past decade there have been many collections. Believe me they are essential but they started to become a little repetetive and started to have a haunting sadness to them. Now with all the actual albums being released us Hyman fans can truly be completists and have all tracks Phyllis performed as well as enjoy the musical journey she took as she grew from album to album.
SOMEWHERE IN MY LIFETIME was her second album and it truly introduced classic Phyllis Hyman. There are many staples here that are all exsquite examples of her artistry such as the title track, THE ANSWER IS YOU, GONNA MAKE CHANGES, BE CAREFUL (HOW YOU TREAT MY LOVE) and LIVING INSIDE YOUR LOVE. It is amazing that there is so much classic Phyllis on only her second solo effort. There are also many musical treats here. Her take on KISS YOU ALL OVER is very sensual and as you read the extensive liner notes you will see she tackled this before it had even become a hit. She provides a light jazzy take on SOON COME AGAIN and HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY is sung with raw, sincere emotion. SO STRANGE is a great uptempo track.
The later albums in her career did take on a haunting sadness that listening to them now it seems the listener can hear the emotional struggle going on inside Phyllis. That is why it is such a treat to have these early works from her career where she seems to have not entered that downward spiral yet. This is purely quality r@b/soul performed by a musical goddess and we get to share in the joy she experienced as her career progressed. There are two bonus tracks here and the cd is remastered for the best sound quality possible. Extensive liner notes also provide much insight into the life and recordings of Phyllis Hyman. This cd is a must for all Phyllis Hyman fans as well as for collectors of quality music. Phyllis Hyman was one of those artists that come along very rarely. Highly recommend this cd.
