Customer Reviews of Higher Things
OK Urban Music R&B vocalist Kim English is adept at all the appropriate clichés for stardom, including the politically correct posturing, the obligatory boogying, a little scatting and the moody instrumental bits. I imagine she will be popular with fans of 'urban' music (think TLC). Not Really my thing.
Classic house gem !
I picked this CD up on a trip to NYC over a year ago, now it is rocking my world. I mistakenly thought it included the track "I Know A Place". I was so disappointed when I got home and realized it didn't have that track, I didn't bother to open it. Shame on me, because this is an excellent CD. English is one of a precious few album artists (Byron Stingily and Ultra Nate are the others) who is faithful to the house sound. Unlike many singers in the dance genre, English is not the stereotypical, attitudinal "screaming" house diva.
I am probably in the minority on this one but I prefer the Maurice Joshua-produced, album version of "Unspeakable Joy" to the techno-pop version played on radio and in clubs. That song is just one of many treasures on this CD. The Mood II Swing-produced "Learn To Love" is also a standout. Todd Edwards gives a classic, disco-y vibe to "Tomorrow". And Masters At Work "work" their magic on "Nite Life" one of the best remixes they have cranked out in a little while. The only curious inclusion is her remake of Anita Baker's "Been So Long". English has a great voice and she does the song justice but it sounds too much like Baker's version.
Dance music tends to be very producer-driven, and there are some heavyweights on this CD. However, the true star is Kim English. Not only is the diva front and center but she wrote or co-wrote four of the tracks. Clearly, English set the overall tone for the CD as well, each song has an uplifting, empowering message. And of course, she sings the hell out of every last note!
This collection has recently been remixed and repackaged as "Re-energized" which is also worth checking out. If you like that one, then you MUST give "Higher Things" a try.
Good Concept Needs Better Producers
I am a big fan of house music and I agree this is a great LP...but under the circumstances..none of the original mixes ever make it to the Dance floors of the US......The majority of the music you hear in a club is a remix that may or may not ever be released to the market as a shelf item..you normally have to search and search..if you are as big a fan of house music as me then you will know what I am saying when I state "Razor and Guido did an excellent job with Unspeakable Joy and should do more work with Kim English"...her music would do so much better with a hard house edge....the garage house sound is gone..and unfourtunately doesnt look like it is going to make a big return anytime soon..bottom line..Good LP but If I were a customer I would hold out for the singles...
