...glorified soup spoon. This humble arrangement, however, was deceptively simple. Bartoli's first notes were tentative and seemed a bit unsure, but as she worked her way through four works by Guilio Caccini, she one could hear the strength coming into her voice. Bartoli showed hints of her vocal range by alternating between faster, animated songs ("Tu ch'hai le Penne, Amore," and "Amarilli") and slower, more sedate songs, such as "Belle Rose Porporine" and "Al Fonte, al Prato...
...even the facelessness of cyberspace cannot prevent hurt feelings. As long as this issue remains behind closed doors and written between the margins, some students will continue to choose silence rather than face continued hostility. One of the more vocal participants in the schmooze discussion, Daniel B.

An expedition into a world of '60s girl pop mixed with some electronic production, Sarah Cracknell's dreamy vocals grow and grow on you until you're forced to surrender to the album's subtle yet straightforward sound...
...publicist praises her work as "classic timeless pop," and those who are already fans of Cracknell's work with Saint Etienne would probably agree. Everything that shone about her vocal work for that band is even more obvious on her own album. Charmingly subdued and perfectly mellow at times, her voice calms and soothes you into a pop-induced bliss. Is Lipslide really "pop precision," as the press release would have you believe? There's nothing precise about it; you might even complain that all the tracks blend too much together, leaving you with nothing but pop amnesia. But Lipslide...
