I urge you all to get this CD RIGHT NOW-Carolyn Leonhart New 8th Day!!!

Her vocals especially on tracks 5(Whisper Not) & 8(Home)will knock your socks off and are more soulful than the Joss Stones & Alicia Keys of the world sound even on their best days.
If you live in New York ,you can go see her perform at clubs.

Gypsy I am SOLD. I went to her website and heard that "I'm In The Mood For Love."

Kid.

That was nice.

MsLegs said:

Average?

dangerousman said:

make sure to report back to me man...!

gypsyfire said:

Yes nothing spectatcular at all.

MsLegs said:

That's why you need to listen to the album,remember what I said about tracks 5 & 8.

gypsyfire said:

Really because from what I've heard thus far I am not impressed. I'm sorry but she's not a Diana Krall. She quite mediocre.

MsLegs said:

No, but the arrangements of the song I heard were isuperior and she makes them "go."

dangerousman said:

namepeace said:

Of course, its a matter of opinion. She definitely not a Diana Krall and that's for sure. She has a while to go before she perfects her craft.

MsLegs said:

I feel ya, tho I think she's good enough to check out.

namepeace said:

Yeah, she's cool, but not off the chain.

Now, if you wanna hear off the chain go to Ledisi.com -- THAT'S A SANGA! And then check out LeelaJames.com - ANOTHA SANGA!

Actually Diana Krall gets boring after awhile.
Carolyn usually gets down after the sax or piano solos,where on the first half of the tune she is more calm.
She can be more soulful than the average jazz singer,sometimes she sounds dare I say,like a sista.
I wish the mp3s on her site were full-length,instead of samples,then you could hear what I'm talking about.
You can hear more of her here: http://www.lynleon.com

gypsyfire said:

Sorry, I doubt it. I've heard her live and I wasn't impressed. She is far from a sista. Even Diva's like Chaka would make mince meat out of her please

MsLegs said:

Actually the coda of Whisper Not always makes me think of Chaka.
Seen her live when?
Was it with Steely Dan,then there's no way you can hear everything she can do singing backup for somebody else,even when they let her have a solo..."she is far from a sista?"I meant she can be soulful at times DAMN.
Chaka Khan would make mince meat out of most people,what's does that have to do with anything?
I listen to mostly old school artists including Chaka,so if I'm latching on to someone modern,she BETTER be damn good!
Listening to this album,I hear singing that is WAY better than most female singers who are popular today-black or white.

gypsyfire said:

I'm sorry but it's just a matter of opinion and I'm not feeling her.

MsLegs said:

Hey nobody's trying to force you to like her.
But like I said,there are times when she can be soulful,I have read reviews where her singing was called soulful,one in particular said she reminded him of Randy Crawford.(who last time I checked was a sista

gypsyfire said:

Hell, she is a far cry from Randy Crawford. That analogy is a stretch and is very hilarious.

MsLegs said:

I have heard her do certain things with her voice that remind me of Randy,Denice Williams and other r&b style singers.

gypsyfire said:

Oh hell nah. She is far cry from Denice Williams. Denice Williams has 3-4 octave range.

MsLegs said:

You are not understanding me,I didn't say she could do EVERYTHING Denice could do,but there is a song on her first album where she sings in a way that reminds me of some of Denice's vocal mannerisms,for lack of a better word.

Here is the review that mentions Randy: http://www.musicaldiscove...ewr&id=251
