One of the greatest pop albums you've never heard.......2006-10-23

This blissful album is simply amazing. A prolific backing vocalist for a large roster of artists, she struck artistic (but not commercial) paydirt with this very special album. There are no bad songs, but recommended above others are the fun pop ditties "Love Me Like You Do" and "Free As You Wanna Be", the spiritual ballad "Adonai" and my personal favorite "Love Isn't Body, It's Soul" in which Lisa emphasizes the importance of her personality over her outward appearance. Note to L.K. if she's reading this: That is a very strong moral value to have, and while I don't want to undermine the importance of it, keep in mind that you are a beautiful, statuesque woman. Be proud of that.

Very good cd from Lisa Keith, an underrated vocalist..........2005-02-10

I discovered Lisa through Alexander O'Neal and female r&b vocalist Cherrelle. Lisa did great background vocals for each of the great vocalist mentioned before. So I was quite curious to listen Lisa's only CD and I was not dissapointed. She possess a wonderful voice and it's a shame I haven't heard anything else from her. I hope to hear something at some point from this awesome singer. I definetly reccomend this recording.

Amy? Is That You?.......2004-04-28

Amy Grant came up with a bit of a protege after her break-out success in 1991 with her "Heart In Motion" album. Lisa Keith's debut -- and only -- album could easily be an Amy Grant album. Unfortunately, that's her major problem. Keith's songwriting collaborators, producers, record label, et al, are the same as Amy Grant's.

The album opens with "Love Isn't Body... It's Soul", a borderline foray into R&B. She stresses that while some people fall in love with someone's beauty, it's what is inside that will keep that momentum going for years to come. This song is actually almost playfully sexy without shutting her out of all Christian credibility, because she emphasizes her inner beauty over the outside.

Keith definitely has the pipes to do such work as well as the mainstream-style pop that makes up most of the remainder of the album. First single "Better Than You" is an upbeat, catchy affair. It's a basic "you're the BEST" kind of song. Keith always keeps the mood light and hopeful, just like most Christian artists looking for mainstream success would do. Luckily, she did find some success. "Better Than You" became a Top 40 hit (peaking at #36 on Billboard's Hot 100) and follow-up single "I'm In Love" also found a mainstream following (#84 on Billboard's Hot 100) with it's dancy beat and ultra-positive attitude. She also tackles the ballads (like 3rd single "Love Is Alive And Well") with precision. The only time her faith comes to the foreground is the closer "Adonai". While every song has an obvious undertone that she is someone with incompromisable values, "Adonai" is the only track where she discusses her faith head-on... which will be the kicker for fans of Christian adult contemporary looking for someone who is LIKE Amy Grant, but isn't her.

Unfortunately, one cannot listen to this album without thinking that this could have been the one Grant did between 1991's "Heart In Motion" and 1994's "House Of Love". While Keith displays she has talent in excess to pull off a great disc, Amy Grant seems to be lurking in the shadows on every track. Really, a VERY good CD that lacks individuality. I wish she had done a follow-up album. A solid 3 star effort (I rate albums VERY seriously as I listen to a broad range of music, from Linkin Park and Audioslave all the way up to this style) that could have been 4 stars or higher if she had allowed her own vibe to permeate a little more often.

Customer Reviews:

Great Artist, Great Voice!.......2007-03-10

This is a great cd and and are We surprised? She has been wonderful ever since Her Motels days!!!! But I highly recommend you not pay the high price and get this cd off itunes for 10 bucks!

more martha please.......2005-11-11

Martha Davis has left my mind since the Motel days. After Policy, I kept my ear open for any music she may release. When I heard the new cd, I was so impressed. It is sheer delight to me to have this new collection. Martha is a master of her craft of songwriting. May she never go away. I anticipate the next work of art she can can create. Love you Martha, sincerely, Donald Davis, Houston,TX.

No Compromising with Martha Davis.............2005-06-21

Dark, moody, haunting, rocking and all Martha Davis. This voice
is still impressive, still hits all the right emotions, the
notes, chills.
Martha gives us a
new vision, its been way too long but thankfully this lady still
can deliver and more. Its also nice she produces this gem and
isn't one bit interested in trying to fit in. Music has changed
so much over the past 15 or more years. Having been
brought up on this style of rock/pop expression its especially cool in
light of the emptiness I find in music anymore. Hardly anyone
sticks their neck out to give us a reminder of the classic
music from the 70's. Slightly harder
edged in places Martha has some interesting stories left to tell.
It will take many listens to pick out my favorites but all
12 songs are unique, I definetely hear
some earlier Motels in there for sure. It would be great
to see Martha and her band on the road again.

This one's a Keeper!.......2005-06-08

I think it's funny that one reviewer was upset that this was not the POP album he expected... THANK GOD! This album sounds more like the Motels first album than any of her later works. It's raw, edgy, haunting and explosive', all rolled into one disk. After more than 15 years since her last new songs were recorded this is a work of art. And heck... there are 2 more albums in the bullpen likely to be released soon.

Take advantage and get this disk and listen to it a few times. I don't know where Martha gets the inspiration to pen such rockers as "True Love" and "Torture Me", or more haunting visions such as "Angel" or the wonderful "Crazy", but I hope it never stops. This one is a big KEEPER!

FINALLY!! Martha Davis Returns, More Engrossing Than Ever!.......2005-04-09

Upon my initial listen of ...SO THE STORY GOES, Martha Davis' first release of all-new studio material since her 1987 solo debut POLICY, I was a little shocked...gone was the sultry chanteuse I'd come to love over the last 25 years. Instead, in her place was a caustic, angry woman who's dissonant edginess was more akin to Courtney Love and Joan Jett than the former frontwoman of the Motels. However, after numerous additional spins of the disc, it hit me - maybe the Martha Davis we thought we knew was just a product of the various producers she had worked with. Maybe THIS was the one, true Martha Davis. Taking things into that context, I was better able to appreciate the challenging nature of ...SO THE STORY GOES and enjoy this album for what it is...thoughtful, uncompromising, raw and intelligent. Opening the disc is "Into Your Arms", an in-your-face rocker that grabs you by the throat, pushes you up against the wall and doesn't let go. The guitars are crunchy, the backbeat unrelenting and the lead vocal honest and unaffected. "True Love" is full of nervous energy, all twitchy and intense. Davis' vocal is almost a howl, and it's brilliantly augmented by Jim Fitting's spot-on harmonica playing. "Angel" is classic Davis...not exactly a ballad, but not really a rocker either. With an economical arrangement, heartfelt vocals and tender lyrics ("And the door moves/Like a slow tune/Letting moon light/In the room/And the shadows/Dance with the halos/That round your head/In the gloom"), this is the type of song that's allowed Davis to stand out as both a vocalist and a lyricist for almost three decades now. "By The Fire" is haunting, hypnotic and, ultimately, slightly disturbing. Davis' voice is alternately warm and chilling, while the arrangement is superb - crashing guitars here, a little percussion there, a touch of acoustic guitar when needed, or a delicate keyboard fill...amazing! And then there's the title track, by far my favorite cut on STSG. Between Paul III's pulsating bassline, Dana Colley's wailing horns and Shon Sullivan's barroom boogie piano from Hell, you have one of the best instrumental tracks of the last decade. Add a gutsy vocal and clever lyrics ("The hardest part as/Everybody knows/Is that God is watchin'/And there's nothin' he don't know") and you have an instant classic. Things continue at breakneck speed with "Sweet Love", a funky rocker with rockabilly undercurrents. Davis delivers the song in a playful, coy vocal, and Dan Colley's sax work proves, once and for all, that Martha Davis' music is absolutely enhanced by horns. The song also proves...once again!...that Davis is second to no one when it comes to clever lyrics: "Ya know love is as sweet/As the icing on cake/But sweets they can kill ya/Make no mistake/Here is a lesson I learned on the way/Be cautious with sweets/They can lead to your grave." Another real gem! "Crazy" is another favorite cut. With it's "Tragic Surf" meets moody swamp boogie vibe, Davis' vocal just oozes out of the speaker, while Clint Walsh's lead guitar playing is simply stunning. It's funny, but every time I hear the song I think "This is like an A#1 Chris Isaak song...from the female perspective!" Awesome! "Where Are You Now" is atmospheric and intoxicating, with an understated, gentle vocal. Mind you, I said understated, not under sung; Davis' vocal phrasing is inventive and fresh throughout, and she hits every note right...when...and where!...she needs to. Definitely one of STSG's best lead vocals! Things get a little bumpy at this point...I find "How It Has To Be" a bit plodding and overblown (though, in all fairness, it has some pretty strong lyrics), and, no matter how hard I try, I still can't get into "Torture Me" - the instrumental track is just noisy for noise's sake, Davis' vocal is weak at it's best, affected at it's worst, and there's just an overall poseur, angry art for art's sake, feel to the track. Things rebound nicely, though, with "You Been Cut", one of Davis' strongest songs to date. This gorgeous cut, with it's muted instrumentation, sweeping vocal and biting lyrics ("The deepest cut is/The thinnist blade/The more severe the less the pain") could be a love song. It could be a political commentary. Heck, it could be a stab at the music industry! It COULD be many things. What it IS is brilliant! Things are wrapped up ever so sweetly with the jaunty "Green Valley." Only Davis could end a record full of so many emotional highs and lows, so much raw intensity, with something so...bouncy! As she ends the song with the repeated line of "And I feel so pretty pleased", the listener can't help but feel that Davis is pleased...with the CD, with herself, with being a survivor (in many ways!). And all I can say is, good for her! If you're tired of the cookie cutter pop and mindless rap 'n' soul that seems to be the norm in today's music, pick up ...SO THE STORY GOES - Martha Davis has created an intelligent, challenging piece of work, and I think the best part is it's only the first paragraph in the second chapter of her musical novel (As with all my 2004 release reviews, I'm giving the disc an extra half a star for including the lyrics).

Synthpop fans, look at this!.......2003-02-26

It's good to be the first reviewer to review an album because hopefully it'll help other people make a better decision before buying an album/single. Well I've had this album for awhile now as well as a few other Cosmicity albums. I consider this to be one of Cosmicity's best albums. I don't like all the songs but most of them are very good such as Egypt which I consider melodic and poppy. Keep Me In Mind is also another very good song which I like to listen in the car. This type of Synthpop I consider a slower more relaxing type which you want to put on when driving or just reading a book/magazine. If you get this album you won't regret it.
