Still, it is easy to miss the usual dichotomy of Bjork's past albums, with fierce electronics swirling around her unbridled energy 2, neo-soul chanteuse Jill Scott picks up where her acclaimed 2000 debut, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol The first single (also the album's title) is a head banger that offers ear-shattering drumming with, believe it or not, an electronic loop The sound is other worldly No, it's not the rap-rock sound of the multiplatinum Infest album (Reviewed by Chelsea J (Reviewed by Jake Coyle, AP) - Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol Though Medulla may not be as dynamic as Bjork's past albums, the minimalist sound is undeniably beautiful When Bjork performed the song in Athens, she wore an ice blue gown that flowed out like water - reminiscent in its uniqueness to the infamous swan dress she wore to the Oscars in 2001 Bjork croons above layers of mixed and unmixed vocals and the background of two choirs: a soaring, angelic one, and a deep, baritone chorus that could easily double as the voice of God or a cranky whale The veteran Jamaican singer has the royal lineage But it never crowds out Cliff, whose voice remains strong in the mix But this largely a cappella performance is no Bobby McFerrin record Jimmy Cliff is the show on Black Magic, and he remains as energetic as the reggae rebel of his youth - never out of tune or out of style Bjork's voice, it must be said, in its wild, unpredictable fluctuations of soaring soprano and devastating frankness, is one of few that deserve such a spotlight He started his career in the early '60s ska scene in Kingston while still a teenager and has grown along with the music through its many permutations Some famous guests chime in, including Sting, Annie Lennox, Wyclef Jean and the late Joe Strummer, who died in 2002 (Cliff has been working on the album since 1999) She also offers another batch of affirmative songs that express what many women feel but can't verbalize The bass-heavy I'm Not Afraid is girl power at its finest; the piano-anchored Cross My Mind reminisces in naughty detail about an old flame; and the string-accented The Fact Is (I Need You) confesses that even the strongest sister enjoys the comfort of a man Warm Up opens with the Native American chant from the latter disc's He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat), Scott's rhapsodic ode to her then boyfriend and now husband Cliff brandishes his vocal weapons on Love Comes, the album's best cut 1, left off It's a theme that runs through much of the album whether it's examining personal or political actions Carter, AP) - Black Magic Jimmy Cliff (Artemis) If Bob Marley is reggae's king, Jimmy Cliff is its prince But for others, who know the band only from previous music videos and radio play, Getting Away With Murder is like discovering a new band Nor is it the tortured sounds of the disappointing Lovehatetragedy Although the lyrics are decidedly dark, they examine the repercussions of past behaviour with a desire to change Synths beep and swish while drum machines pulse in the kinetic tempo of dancehall, Jamaica's answer to Top 40 hip-hop Black Magic has almost total electronic instrumentation He flavours this with teasing falsetto touches, like a Jamaican Al Green This is the Papa Roach where the music is loud, unusually melodic and thankfully all rock The lyrics are sometimes introspective, sometimes angry and always understandable Bjork's seventh album, Medulla, which refers to the spinal cord in Latin, gets to the heart of the marrow, so to speak On her latest, the Icelandic chanteuse has cast out even the instruments From there, the Philadelphia native - whose oft-operatic vocals strengthened during her three-year absence - continues to weave poetic tales of toe-curling romance (Bedda at Home), childhood nostalgia (Family Reunion) and community pride (My Petition) 2 Jill Scott (Hidden Beach/Sony) On Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol There are moments when her voice melds on top of the others, building into a frenzy of sound The Tyranny of Normalcy examines a government motivated by fear and greed, and Blanket of Fear is about the shroud of fear surrounding people in wake of war and terrorism On Black Magic, Cliff shows he's as relevant as ever to reggae Scott's the Golden optimist still sweet on our minds like block parties and penny candy, and her mission is to uplift It is a bizarre, watery song of jumbled waves of vocal samples It is no coincidence that the most exciting tracks here, Where Is the Line and Who Is It, both contain more percussion and instrumentation than the others Speaking of water, the first single from the disc is Oceania, a tune Bjork crafted for the Olympics opening ceremony Who knew lead singer Jacoby Shaddix could actually sing, really sing? And the band could play, really play rock music? Die-hard fans will likely raise their hand and say they always knew But it is the last few songs on the album that are the most surprising offerings from the band, songs with a political message On the song Done With You, Papa Roach examines the behaviour that destroys a relationship The singer has pared away nearly all but the voices - hers and those of backing choirs and vocalists Any way you splice it on Getting Away With Murder, Papa Roach has come up with something tangible, something real for rock music listeners to grab on to and rock out to (Reviewed by Mark Donahue, AP) But her organic sound - crafted in part by Jeff Townes (also known as DJ Jazzy Jeff) - is still compelling Cliff's voice is light and sweet, similar to the rocksteady crooners of his roots like Desmond Dekker and Dennis Brown Hopkins, AP) - Getting Away With Murder Papa Roach (Geffen) Watch out, Papa Roach is making music on Getting Away With Murder (Reviewed by Tracy E Reviews of new CDs including Bjork's Medulla and discs by Papa Roach, Jill Scott Canadian Press September 2, 2004 1 | 2 | 3 | NEXT >> Bjork, of Iceland, performs during the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens True, it's not as awe-inspiring as on Who Is Jill Scott? Perhaps that's because she's already answered the question Scott doesn't evoke pathos like her peer Erykah Badu (she's the Ella to Badu's Billie) The best example of this is Mouths Cradle, which is paced by a "glug, glug" sample of what might as well be the emptying of a bottle of water He growls, coos, hollers, whispers his way over a thumping beat His supple voice sounds right at home with contemporary backing tracks that owe much to modern dancehall and hip-hop On this conglomeration, it makes sense that even Rahzel of the Roots shows up They are relegated mostly to the background, save Jean's prominent rap on Dance |
