Editorial Reviews
Kelis has always been game to subvert expectations. "Caught Out There," from her 1999 debut, Kaleidoscope, had her storming the airwaves with a chant of "I hate you so much right now!" After a sophomore disc that didn't see release in America, she returns with "Milkshake," a schoolyard taunt for grownup girls. The minimalist Neptunes production was an obvious first single from Tasty, but the CD hardly stops there. From collaborations with Andre 3000 ("Millionaire," a showcase for the OutKast frontman's falsetto) and Nas (the randy "In Public") and a rap-rock exercise ("Keep It Down") to irresistible updates of early-'80s R&B ("Protect My Heart," "Glow"), the disc offers plenty in the way of potential follow-ups. While less playful than some of her past work, Tasty brings a raised eyebrow and good humor to the 21st century sex-u-up template. --Rickey Wright

I absolutely love this album!.......2007-03-21
You can always count on Kelis for originality and creatively. She is not the greatest vocalist. She makes up for that with super-size sass. Each song stands out on its own. This is the first album where Kelis started to distance herself from longtime collaborators The Neptunes. Kelis pulls it off with stunning results. What is even better is that the follow up album didn't feature Neptunes at all. The album is pure genius. The said album is Kelis Was Here.

"Tasty" Brings Flavour At The Cost Of Some Quality!.......2006-09-02
Sure, standout lead single "Milkshake" -a sassy club banger wrapped in deep synthesizers, lifted by heavy bass, topped off with confidently sexy vocals & creative raunchy lyrics, then sprinkled with an anthemic chorus & a few well-timed bell effects- is a flavourful offering that embodies everything about Kelis, from her risky, creative approach to music to her gradually increasing sex appeal. Hell, "Milkshake" could arguably be her best song to date, and surprisingly, it was none other than The Neptunes who produced it. However, "Tasty" fails to consistently provide the goods the way "Kaleidoscope" did.
Nonetheless, this album is still great, with plenty of highlights that come close to matching "Milkshake". Dallas Austin works his magic on international second single "Trick Me", combining killer guitar riffs with hollering background vocals, Kelis' powerful vocals, strong lyrics & a surprisingly great rap from Kelis. The aforementioned track is as close as you'll probably get to the old days of Kelis, and can easily be compared to her wacky debut single "Caught Out There" because both songs symbolize female empowerment after an awry relationship. Oh yeah, better not forget the disturbing lyrical bit relating to her man's privates (in this case..."Freedom to us has always been a trick/Freedom to you has always been, whoever landed on your d**k"). The rowdy R&B/Rock song "Keep It Down -complete with heavy synthesizers, even louder guitar riffs, powerful vocals & a soft, almost-acoustic pre-chorus, courtesy once again of Dallas Austin- also follows a similar route.
Andree 3000 features both as a vocal guest & as a producer on the outstanding "Millionaire" which highlights the hardships and loneliness of being a millionaire through insightful lyricism, Kelis' emotional vocals & Andre's squeaky falsetto over an infectious beat (heavy synthesizers, piano, etc.). Such shades of vulnerability are also displayed on the emotional ballad "Rolling Through The Hood". Produced by The Neptunes, the aforementioned ballad tells the story of catching her lover cheating on her. Unlike "Caught Out There" & "Trick Me", however, this ballad is much more emotional & optimistic. Instead of screaming "I hate you so much right now" or impenetrably declaring "I won't let you trick me twice", she soulfully croons lines like, "One day sooner than you'll know/We'll be living tomorrow/And we'll me laughing about today, today/Maybe tomorrow...", letting listeners know that no matter how far she dives into insanity, she's still human like everyone else.
Unfortunately, the cohesiveness of "Tasty" is brought down by a few disasters. "In Public", Kelis' disarmingly raunchy duet with Nas, pushes the boundaries way too far in its conquest to make sex sound more different than usual. In this case, it's having sex everywhere, from behind the trees, to the restaurants, to the bathrooms, etc. The musically nostalgic 80's-R&B vibe of the lovely "Protect My Heart" seems to lack the emotional sincerity displayed on "Rolling Through The Hood", and "Sugar Honey Iced Tea" is far too sour & syrupy for my tastes. Thankfully, "Tasty" provides enough surprises, resulting in another great R&B album. 4 stars!
Best 5 Tracks:
"Milkshake"
"Millionaire (feat. Andre 3000)"
"Rolling Through The Hood"
"Trick Me"
"Flashback" (flat-out catchy -and somewhat lusty- dance tune)

Album Description
The Hollywood Blue Flames began life in 1975 as The Hollywood Fats Band, led by guitar phenomenon Michael "Hollywood Fats" Mann, and featuring what was arguably the best traditional blues line-up this side of 1954 - the multi-talented Al Blake on harmonica and vocals, legendary bassist Larry Taylor from Canned Heat, veteran drummer Richard Innes, and featuring Lloyd Glenn protege Fred Kaplan on piano. Sadly, Fats passed away unexpectedly in 1986, and the band members all went on to other successful musical ventures.Now they've reunited for one of the most anticipated blues releases in years, under the banner The Hollywood Blue Flames - appropriately named, as they both fired and carry the torch of the blues into a new millennium. And to fill the huge musical shoes of Fats, no one could be a better choice than Kirk Fletcher, a young man who was literally raised on the sounds pioneered by the original incarnation of this band. Fletcher plays with the taste and power that truly does justice to not only this band's illustrious legacy but also the blues masters who inspired them.
The Hollywood Blue Flames literally burn their way through a set of fresh originals sprinkled with well-chosen covers on their new CD "Soul Sanctuary." This is blues with both a history and a future - and it's as fresh as today. It doesn't get any better than The Hollywood Blue Flames.

Patti: heavy on bass and marinated with strings.......2006-01-13
This compilation deserves a 4-star-grading because Patti LaBelle's first couple of solo albums are among the best productions of the so-called Philadelphia Soul and the most solid works of her sometimes erractic solo carreer. 'Patti LaBelle', the debut album, is the typical LP where the artist tries to offer a little bit of everything to everybody, and 'abandoned' Labelle-the-group fans should be as pleased as the ones who love Patti's typical belting and vocal histrionics. Lovely ballads all around, and some not that successful covers complete the collection. It features Patti's co-written signature tune, the gorgeous 'You Are My Friend', plus the highly danceable single 'Dan swit Me'. Very emotional, raw interpretations like the midtime 'I Think About You' enrich this disk, and Patti's vocals are somehow more restrained than they normally are, but she comes back with her lungs bombing on top on her follow-up tastefull 'Tasty' album.
Despite of some unnecessary covers that don't add much to the song like the album's opener, here she delivers top-quality salsa ('Teach Me Tonight'), a touching and soulful gospel-influenced belted ballad ('Quiet Time'), a lot of emotional range on her interpretations (the sophisticated 'Little Girls') and great funk ('Eyes In The Back Of My Head'). Another solid release, and perhaps with this package you get the best solo albums Patti's ever made, since both are very well produced, with top musicians on the background and Patti's voice shining at its best. The material varies from good to very good, something that can't be said about many of her albums.
Only the self-titled debut is still in print elsewhere, so this import is somehow a rarity as well.
Finally on CD!!.......2003-03-04
It's a great Latin beat song with a strong soul Diva's voice that only Patti can sing. One of her best.

There are a few other gems on "Tasty" : Eyes in the Back of My Head is one of them. "Don't Let Go" works. "I See Home" is fine.

Album Description
For over fifty years Earma Thompson has played jazz piano in Chicago. Although humble by nature, she is recognized by fellow jazz musicians as the reigning Queen of Chicago Jazz. With bassist John Whitfield, she swings on the standards "Just In Time", "Softly, As In The Morning Sunrise", and "Witchcraft". Her blues playing on "After Hours" and "Back at the Chicken Shack" is low down and evokes memories of what it was like to listen to music on the south side in a bygone era. Saxophonist John Brumbach joins Earma on "hot and spicy" versions of "Ger-ru" and "Vierd Blues".Christian Music:
