Provocative

Amazon.com
Of the six young men who have been part of the New Edition, Washington, D.C.-native Johnny Gill has far and away the best voice. And 1990's Johnny Gill is still the best album anyone connected with the New Edition has ever made. Provocative revisits the formula of that triumph--handing over the creative responsibilities once again to the two hottest songwriter/producer teams in R&B, the macho Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and the romantic L.A. Reid and Babyface. This time, though, we get the formula instead of the triumph. All the pieces are there--the roof-rattling vocals, the industrial-strength beats, and the sumptuous synth harmonies--but there's no sense of a personality behind the machinery. Gill proves that he can growl and shout in sync with the slamming beats like any neo-disco-man, but Lewis's lyrics sound like the lines that single men on the prowl serve up in bars, and there's nothing in Gill's vocal to indicate that the words are anything but a line. Gill is still an impressive singer. "I Got You," written, produced, and sung by Boyz II Men, is blessed with appealing melodies and lush harmony singing, and "Long Way from Home" by L.A. Reid and Babyface is a truly romantic song that finds Gill finally opening up his heart to reassure a distant lover. He'll have to do that far more often if he wants to create the great soul music his voice makes possible. --Geoffrey Himes

My My My - what a voice @}->---.......2006-03-15

While there is no song in the universe as beautiful and as sexy as My My My, this is a fantastic effort for the next cd. The best song on here is Cute Sweet Love Addiction. I love it - it is cool and upbeat and basically just fun. The Floor was such a big hit for obvious reasons - it's tight and very funky, but the best ballad is Quiet Time To Play. It's in that song that I think he works his vocalls the best and shows off his incredible skills. I love Johnny and this is one of many of his albums I own. I really recommend it because of the mix between fast music and sexy bedroom ballads.

Good effort, though not as strong as Johnny Gill.......2006-03-13

This album is good, but lacks the excitement of Johnny Gill from 1990. I liked the stomping feel of The Floor, the funky I Got You with Boyz II Men and the rapidly paced song Provocative. But my favorite is the ballad Tell Me How U Want It, which I still like to hum along to. It's really my second favorite ballad from Johnny after My, My, My. Very soothing and comforting song in its lush relaxing sound. The rest of the album is mostly filler and would have been better sung by an underrated R&B male singer struggling to get his single higher than No. 54 on the singles charts. But that's what it's like, when a stylistic artistically done song gets passed on by a commercially slick keep it to 3 minutes song. Johnny has made better songs than the filler that takes about 5 songs. It will take you days to figure this album out because of its unevenness.

Johnny Gill once again pleases with the ballads.......2005-04-12

Johnny Gill has always been best at ballads and is easily regarded as one of the best balladers of all time. His follow up to his 1990 CD didn't impress me as much but he's in top form on track 6-10 where his smooth vocals and amazing range are best suited.

Will someone give this man a record deal?.......2003-04-04

Johnny Gill is a storm waiting too long to happen. Ever since his debut in the early eighties, his is a talent that has not been recognized by the masses. His modest successes as a solo artist, a duet partner (with Stacy Lattisaw), and a group member (New Edition) have yet to make him the superstar that he so richly deserves. The title of "Baby Luther" is warranted for he and Vandross share the same quality of interpreting a song.

"Provocative" shows Gill in a variety of formats, from dance ("The Floor") to romantic ballads ("Quiet Time to Play") to the sacred ("I Know Where I Stand"). It's on the latter that Gill presents a voice that is destined for the stage.

A fun ditty is "A Cute, Sweet Love Addiction", written by Jam & Lewis, paying homage to Tyrone Davis's "If I Could Turn Back Time".

A Fabulous Album.......2003-03-04

I love this album, it is as good as his 1990 album. My favoorite songs are "A Cute, Sweet, Love Addition", "The Floor", "I Got You", "Provocative" and more. Johnny show a lot spunk and energy here, you can tell he is having a good time. They did a really great job on the production of this album, it whips azz compared to most pop/r&b around now. I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys soulful, funky, sexy, & smooth R&B.

Product Description

In the last couple of years, piles of songs have been collecting in my Boston apartment like old letters and postcards. Demos and lyric sheets, all gathering dust in the various corners--30 of them in all, patiently waiting for a new album to come home. Many of these songs had been demoed in unconventional ways by myself and co-conspirators. I went down to Atlanta and recorded "Sweet Mistakes", "20th Century is Over", "Martyr's Lounge", "Independence Day" over a weekend with Kristian and Don at Nickle and Dime Studios. We had made a promise to work together, and were finally following through--sadly, the studio burned down a few months after these songs were recorded, and the master tapes were destroyed forever by the fire--so, there was no chance for remixing, no cleaning up, no fixing parts--These are first run versions in all their vulnerable glory.

Customer Reviews:

Ellis Plays it like it's Religion!!.......2003-05-03

"Sweet Mistakes" is a song that was chosen for the movie "Shallow Hal".
"Kristian's Song" is about Kristian Bush (One half of Billy Pilgram and producer (along with one half of "Catbird Seat's Bob Bedell!!--Hi Bob and Don McCallister). This is a very cinema-graphic song ("Past an old man at a window past two kids asleep on pillows, past a woman like a willow") "Seventeen Septembers" is about a couples ironic breakup---their offspring is at the same age as they were when they made-out in the back of a car ("One night in a car changed who you are") "New Orleans" is a cool finger-picked love song ("Here's me tripping on the clouds, i'm laughing tumbling down, I've fallen on your door step--In New Orleans, it stretches
beneath my feet, I'm the King of Bourbon Street, Stike a match and all the street lights catch"
"The Art of Distance" ("You get the call on your message machine, its 2am, it better be important" "if you knew the art of distance would you lay in your bed or take a cab across town". "Medicine" is one a song about dependence on drugs (references to Marilyn Monroe ("Who's gonna call Joe Dimaggio") "And we've asked you to change and ain't it strange how friends disappear". "The Martyr's Lounge" is a long time favorite concert song---a funny (ha-ha) song. "3000 Miles" is a remix one of the songs Ellis plays alot in concert---and rightly so: with its driving (no pun intended) panaramic lyrics. "Down in Houston on comes this woman With two kids and a bottle of booze,And she cracked them both like match heads Whenever they ventured too close to her fuse" "The 20th Century Is Over" is one of Ellis's poems set to a rather cool laid-back rap-like backing music---it really grows on ya with time. Find out what Ellis thinks about the 20th century! "Beautiful World" is another poem sung. "Independence Day" Rocks ("I shed some light on the mystery of why I kicked her out on Independence Day, With the fire works burning I found my self learning--couldn't lay in my bed the same way") "Roll Away Bed" is for the sheer fun of it kinda song. Indeed no mis takes!

Unfinished Songs??? This is Ellis' best CD!!!.......2002-09-14

I'm not sure what everyone's talking about, but this is Ellis' most polished, well produced, folk-rocky, dare I say potentially "breakout" CD so far. Ellis, please consider working with this producer next time. Forget the new one (Speed of Trees), and seek out this superb CD!

No Mistakes Here.......2002-02-06

This is a CD that is actually made up of B-Sides, old recordings and remastered tunes, and in a word, awesome. From the dream-song (yes, based on an actual dream) "New Orleans" to the moving-on song "Independence Day" this CD is soft and rockin' at the same time. It, like most of Ellis' music, has a little something for everyone. The driving desperation of "Medicine," the discovery and memories of "Seventeen Septembers"--I could go on and on. This is an incredible CD, and it stands solidly next to Ellis' label recordings (Ellis put this one out on his own). Deep lyrics and great melodies will draw you in! Buy this CD while you can!

Refreshingly real in today's day and age........2001-12-17

The joke goes something like this. George Harrison enters the gates of Heaven and encounters the legendary band people on Earth only dream about. Jimi, Janis, Elvis, Keith Moon, and all the other legends are playing away. He notices a familiar figure in black leather and sunglasses belting out U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday. Turning to John Lennon, George remarks it was odd that Bono died the same day he did. Lennon turns to Harrison and says, "that's just God, sometimes he thinks he's Bono".

In todays age of self absorbed stars with an inflated sense of their own importance, it's refreshing to see that somebody like Ellis Paul is still performing and recording.

Ellis is, in short, New England. He's a story teller with all of the simple humility and ability to connect that is sorely lacking today. In a recent performance, he sang acappella while changing his own guitar strings. Rather than brag about singing the National Anthem before a Red Sox-Yankees game, he told the audience about the overwhelming urge he had to run the bases at Fenway before he was done singing. Instead of preaching about his views on 9-11, his guitar simple had the words, "Terror Killing Machine" scrawled on it in a Woody Guthriesque manner.

Paul's "Sweet Mistakes" is an eclectic mix of stories that gives Paul the room to experiment with hip-hop beats and backup singers. Because the album is more a collection of songs than a true album recorded as a unit, the listner is treated to Paul's experimentation along with his trademark guitar and vocals.

My personal favorite is the acappella "Beautiful Word". New Orleans, 3,000 Miles, Kristian's Song are also standouts. It's much easier to listen and absorb Ellis Paul, than it is to critique him. In short, it's a great CD and I reccomend it.

This '95 follow up to his now impossible-to-find debut is a sure bet for what Paul does best: tell stories with characters and images that fascinate with repeated listening. He has a high, reedy voice, and he's remarkably adept at vocal phrasing. The record has a clean, acoustic folk-rock sound, and when he takes the most chances, as on "King of Seventh Avenue" and "Last at the Table," he's most compelling. "Last Call," on the other hand, is a revelatory moment of simplicity, and helps make this one of the '90s freshest singer-songwriter albums. --Roy Francis Kasten

Customer Reviews:

Ellis Paul - "Stories".......2007-03-09

I first listened to this great singer/songwriter out of curiosity because his name is the same as one of my family members...only reversed. I am so glad I didn't miss out. Where has he been all my life?

The album to buy after the new double-disc "Essentials".......2006-10-18

So, we discovered Ellis Paul as a result of the Jim Carrey movie, "Me, Myself and Irene".

That movie featured his song, "The World Ain't Slowin' Down" in key moments of the film. My wife Rachael had to know who the song was by, and so we picked up the soundtrack, and after she heard it enough times it was time to pick up the album it came from, "Translucent Soul".

When it turned out that "Translucent Soul" was a great album, it was time to start picking up his other albums one by one. Each new album that came along didn't disappoint, but it was "Stories" that particularly caught my ear.

Ellis Paul is classified as Folk, and while that genre may have a negative connotation with the younger generation, maybe it would be better categorized as "Songs with substance."

Think of Ellis Paul as a Bob Dylanesque style songwriter with a much better singing voice.

I often research albums before I buy them, but Ellis is one of the few artists I can name that will have me buying every new CD before I hear a note of it. He has consistantly been THAT good.

His brand new double-disc "Essentials" is a magnificent starting point for people to hear what he's all about, and if you decide that you are hooked too? I recommend "Stories" next.

ROCK!

Glenn Case

Grows stronger with each listen.......2003-05-03

I bought this album in casette form many years ago and it was my first introduction to the bard of folk--Mr Paul. All things being the same is (I believe) about the wonderful town of Atlanta
(He mentions Eddie Owen of Attic Fame---"All her friends are nothing more than strangers,
Whose names are just words on a face .
If they bumped into her out on a sidewalk on some Sunday,
They wouldn't recognize her outside of the place".
"3000 Miles" is the title of Ellis's first DVD!---it's also a song he plays often at concerts. A classic! "Here she is" is about his (then) wife---How's about this for the start of a love song--->"If you could paint her, she'd be a Picasso.
She's got a few things out of place.
Like when she smiles, it's slightly out of line"
"Autobiography of a Pistol" I didn't like the music to this song when I first heard it---but it has grown on me over the years; the lyrics are awesome--->"Some things they never tell you when you're riding the assembly line.
Like who'll be the hands to hold you and what's their state of mind - -"
"River" is about River Phoenix, and it too grows on ya
"Last at The Table" was the song that converted me to a fully fledged fan of the man---its acoustic, but it rocks--->"Hello, Mr. Bureaucrat.You pick who's thin -- you pick who's fat"
"Last Call" is a quiet song, finger-picked and lush about a lady who works in a bar--->"The excuses get weaker as the stories get tall.
You step off with the wrong foot, the drunk fool at the ball."
" Who Killed John Lennon?": says it all--->"And each time he's televised, he kills him again.
It's the prize that he wanted when he loaded the gun.
And each time he's mentioned, murder is done"
"King of Seventh Avenue"---inspired by a short story by Ethan Canin (Emperor of the Air) about the proverbial guy on the ledge--->"I hear the crowd all ask for jumping,
While the cops all ask for calm.
Even the pigeons think I'm something,
The whole city is in my palms"
"Looking for My Friends" hes out looking for his friends because she left him--->She left the note in the sleeve of my coat, that was not nice -- I called her on the phone, the voice that spoke, it was cold, it was hard as ice. I tried to speak,
the connection was weak 'cause I was talking to a machine.
She said, "If this is you, we're totally through,"
and that's the last of her I've seen"
"Don't Breathe"--->one of Ellis's most plaintive songs
--->"Did I tell you then?
These are moments whole lifetimes are built on"
Thats the end!

Some Great Stories, Some Bad..........2001-03-26

Ok, Ellis Paul is Boston's Folk-pop patriarch. Everyone who likes the genre has this album. With songs like "The King of Seventh Avenue" and "Here She Is", it's easy to see why. These songs alone deserve the 4 star rating.

Even so, the cd lacks depth. "I Shot John Lennon" is a waste of plastic. In it, Paul attempts to assassinate talk show trash. What could be worse than wasting one's time watching talk shows? You guessed it: a song about wasting time watching talk shows. "Autobiography of a Pistol" is so ridiculous it has become part of the stand up routine of Rick Jenkins (one of Boston's best comedians).

If you like the genre, you probably already have this or have a friend who does. Definitely check it out, but remember to program your cd player and avoid the god-awful filler songs.

Still my fave.......2000-12-09

I think it's safe to call me an Ellis Paul devotee. I have all his albums, having first discovered him on the fabulous WBOS when I was living in Boston. But Stories remains my favorite. I can listen to it over and over and it never gets stale. Ellis' lyrics are so beautiful and succinct that they make you ache. King of Seventh Avenue, Autobiography of a Pistol, Who Killed John Lennon, all incredible songs, but I think 3000 Miles may be among my most favorite songs ever. If you've heard of Ellis Paul and are looking for a good cd to try out, here it is and welcome to the fan club!

This was my second cassette album, it was released in 1990.

I was starting to write story songs like "This Old Car", "Am I Home", and "Town Crier" which would help to influence the story telling course of my later recordings...I hope you enjoy it! -- Ellis Paul

A New Classic.......2001-07-30

For those of you who have listened to and enjoyed Ellis Paul's more recent stuff, you really should check out "Am I Home." I am buying a second copy (on CD) to replace my extremely worn out cassette, which I have been listening to for over 10 years. His original recordings of "Angel" and "Friday Night", plus "Am I Home" - one of my all-time favorite of his songs - capture the origins of Ellis - a truely awesome folk-singer and really good person. You won't be sorry!

Provocative Trance: Mixed by Chris Cox.......2006-02-24

Excellent Trance mix with a variety of styles. One of the best so far.

NOT Trance.......2005-08-12

This is just a compilation mostly of house music you would hear in any gay club any weekend. While there are a few trance tracks on here, they are not worth buying the cd if you like trance. If you think this is trance, you've been duped. Whoever named this album should be sued for false advertising. On top of that, the mixing is marginal at best. As someone else said, utter crap.

Great simply GREAT.......2005-02-09

Chris did a fantastic job on this one! I'm excited to hear 12" of Cox. If it's half as good as this one it will be money WELL spent.

Not only is this one to buy but it's deffinately a KEEPER!! Six out of five stars!!!!

complete and utter crap.......2004-10-07

I am a huge fan of Chris Cox, love '12 inches of Cox' but this album was complete crap. I listened only a few times and then got disgusted that I spent the money and couldn't send it back.

Think this cd........2004-03-23

I have just got up to track 11 on this cd, and I am high. Literally high on the music. I have never taken drugs. I jumped up and down. I saw animated records and writing. My mind diagrammed an entire music video based on my science fiction and Russian dissident library for Resurection by PPK, which has never happened before. Musical tastes are idiosyncratic, and if this cd thrills me, someone else will hate it. But if you like trance, this is the cd. (Practical description: it sounds kind of like the dance soundtrack for Queer as Folk only more ethereal and synthesizer-like and cool.)

This was my first batch of songs from early days back in 1989...I was just a kid, about 23 or so, with a headful of Bob Dylan dreams and Joni Mitchell aspirations...I released these songs on cassette, and sold them at the coffee-houses around Boston, Passim, The Nameless, The Old Vienna...I can hear the old me in them, and looking back, I see the long path that has been walked on since those days-I've come a long way, and have a long way yet to go! I hope you like it, and thanks for coming along...-Ellis Paul

A classic.......2000-12-23

I have this album on the orginal cassette tape, and enjoy it immensely. I can recall the days of hearing Ellis Paul sing these songs live at Passim's in Harvard Square and around the New England coffee houses and thinking what a talented writer and great singer. After 10 years, I picked his voice off the soundtrack of Me, Myself & Irene. I am very pleased to find on the Amazon website that Ellis Paul has written more albums over the years. Time to start collecting!

Wonderful CD from an amazing artist.......2006-09-19

Steve Weingart is one of today's hottest keyboardists. His fluent style is amazing. His compositions are really good. In fact many of the compositions on Dave Weckl's CDs from Transitions to Multiplicity have Steve's signature writing style. This CD, Life Times, is just a wonderful blend of groove tunes. His wife also sings a bit on the songs. She's a great musician as well. Steve is releasing his second CD called "Dark Blue Dream" and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that one as well.

I highly recommend this CD to all who love music by artists that are honest with expressing their emotions through their instruments.
