Denials Delusions and Decisions [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
The latest soul singer to break out from the thriving Philadelphia scene is singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright. (The City of Brotherly Love is the birthplace of legends Patti LaBelle and Teddy Pendergrass as well as more recent arrivals Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Jazzyfatnastees, and Bilal.) Like Scott, Wright came to prominence through her association with hip-hoppers the Roots, contributing her considerable vocal skills to the rap group's "What You Want" (from The Best Man soundtrack) and "The Lesson, Part III" (from The Roots Come Alive). Wright's powerhouse alto works lusty rumbles and righteous wails with an ease that would do Lady Marmalade proud, so it's a shame much of the material on her debut relies heavily on repetitive, ho-hum grooves that mask her potential to let loose and sing. Things work best when Wright taps into the blues-woman/bad-girl vibe you'd expect from a girl named Jaguar, like on the Etta James-style opener, "What If"; the sassy, street-hardened soul of "Same Sh*t, Different Day"; and the tell-it-like-it-is ballad "Self Love," one of the few cuts on which Wright's pipes really get to shine. --Sylvia W. Chan

Timing is everything.......2006-10-05

Once this Artist finds the right time to blossom she will. I must admit I do love the What if's, other than that. I really did not find anything else on this album that excited me. Honestly the what if's is such a powerful song it carried the entire album. So if your feeling the neo-soul movement, then purchase this cd.

Motivation.......2006-07-31

A guy at my job turned me on to this CD. He actually burned me a copy of it after bragging about how talented she was. I loved it and played it out. It actually encouraged me to start listening to more Neo-Soul artist. She talks about more then just being in love, she talks about life and the drama that comes along with it. I also have Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul, get it dont sleep.

This Was A Mess!!.......2006-07-28

Thank goodness I purchased this CD used. It was horrible. I know that Jaguar Wright's voice is much better than this CD. That's why I'm so mad that she let this cat out of the bag.

What's up with all the cursing? She's trying to be the Neo-Gangster of soul? I was very disappointed with this album. It was not a good look and I would definitely think twice before buying anything from her again. I don't recommend this CD to anyone.

I bought this disc in early 2003 after hearing a radio interview during which Jaguar sang 'Love Need & Want You'. I thought her voice was "crazy" and couldn't wait to hear more. During the interview and then after as I read her liner notes, you could hear that this was a young woman who had experienced a lot of pain in her life - she chose to exorcise those demons through her music. If prospective buyers want to give her music a try & are offended by profanity then by all means, get the 'clean' version - you'll still be blown away by this young lady's voice!

The positives about the disc are definitely the production and her voice - there is a live instrumentation feel that drives the whole project & like other 'alternative r&b' or 'neo-soul', if you like, gives music of this genre a signature sound. At 12 tracks, it's succinct and gets to the point - I appreciate discs that have 12-14 tracks of GOOD music rather than those that push it to 22 tracks where 8 of those are skits or interludes.

The standout tracks to me are: THE WHAT IF'S, STAY, AIN'T NOBODY PLAYIN, SAME SH*T DIFFERENT DAY PT II, LINEAGE & COUNTRY SONG.
Although I applaud her ambition for tackling Patti Labelle's LOVE NEED & WANT YOU, I didn't particularly care for her vocal phrasing of the song but it is a hard song for me to hate so she gets props for trying.

If you are a fan of alternative r&b & enjoy listening to new talented singers, then definitely give Jaguar Wright a chance (I just bought her new cd and can't wait to listen to it).

Arguably one of the best debut albums ever,.......2005-08-15

Jaguar's vocals are so strong and soulful, and she has such a wide vocal range. This whole CD is solid material. One of the best debut albums I ever heard. This is what the music industry needs.

This is true soul. Words cannot explain...

Jaguar Rocks!.......2004-07-14

I love her soulful, jazzy, bombastic style. This album has beautiful melodies, nice rhythyms, biting lyrics. It is jazz with some kick!

I have the clean version. I can tell waht was left out and I guess I would warn you not to buy the explicit version unless you are not offended by &^@#%*!
